First let me say Quicklaunch has been one of the handiest apps on the n900 so far.

This is what I think you should do. keep it the way it is but expand on the app.

1: have quicklaunch open in full screen mode like the control settings panel you have(example 1). To keep everyone else happy maybe have a key combination shortcut to launch Quicklaunch in full screen mode like ctrl+blue arrow+Q. Don’t worry about the status bar. Also only make this option available when an app is taken out of full screen mode....also you could make it transparent???? like this


2: have an option in the control panel to enable launch on shutter open(example 2). So replace the camera UI with full screen Quicklaunch like example 1 so i can select the app to launch other then the auto-load camera UI. Eg: qik and flashlight

what do you think? does it solve all your problems?? keep the app the way it is but just expand
