The latest version of HomescreenApp have this. In the lock orientation, you have Portrait (also applications) which makes closing app only from the top of the phone (nokia logo). But this also disables landscape modes even of those messages app and the like

in general.. no matter what orientation u are holding ur phone, swiping down will close the app
even if the app does not support landscape, if you are holding the phone landscape orientation and you swipe down, it will close
if you have updated to PR1.2 you will also notice that when swiping to close (down) the app will darken. this is an indication the app is closing
simply, just remember swiping down is closing... so if you dont want to close, just swipe sideways or up
even if the app does not support landscape, if you are holding the phone landscape orientation and you swipe down, it will close

A bit off topic but I find it impossible to swype up in PR1.2 when the virtual keyboard is visible. At least on my phone.

It will only close in landscape and portrait. (if you hold it that way)
On PR1.1, it could also close upside down and reverse landscape. (which was a pain in the ***)

As mentioned it would be great to have a function where just swiping it down via portrait would close an app.

yeh i guess it would be more convenient if it was so..
but im fine with swiping up just incase if i dont know its current orientation... swiping up will never close an app
but im fine with swiping up just incase if i dont know its current orientation... swiping up will never close an app
Is there an app/mod that makes the downward swiping action from top to bottom of the device in portrait the only swipe action that closes an app?
Hope Im making sense!? Im sure people encounter this issue themselves at times?
