(YES, SOMETHING LIKE IN ANDROID... FIND THAT QUITE USEFUL, but no need for some animation... just to show/hide...))
AND (tricky one) to have them rotate depending of portrait or landscape orientation....


lets say, that that could look like this:
in landscape
Attachment 14288
Attachment 14289
and portrait
Attachment 14290
what do you think
YES YOU CAN ... IN SIMPLE WORDS

More technically ... only problem here's the portrait/landscape detection.
1st option Enabling real-time P/L detection in QBW=>hildon-home will put much "stress" to the accelerometer and a sensible battery drainage.

2nd choice is DBUS monitor rule in QBW but it works only if other applications register to the system for P/L orientation detection. In this case P/L signals reach DBUS and QBW can get triggered by them and behave accordingly.

3rd option is try to detect P/L only when needed through some ways which I'm not aware of as of now and after some googling about it ... please Community HELP needed here!!!
