By the way talking about 'screens' in N9 it's a mess:
Moonshine app calls Lock screen: screensaver
Battery app: Stand-by screen
In my Danish N9 it's called: standby(skærm=screen)
Meecast calls it StandbyScreen and calls attached LockScreen (as I do in ' '!), and so on!

Ah ok, Ive always thought it is the lock screen; homescreen is referred in the code as the app launcher screen heh!

!

Hmm on that screen there is no easy way to get the bar to show (no status bar).

Thanks for the heads up.
Will doublecheck for next release.
EDIT :
@setter: when have you exactly experienced the battery drainage?
Cant see any activity from top at least on my side.

The Overlay problem to coderus ui:
How to use the hidden plugins?
Is it possible to close the Quickbar app and reopen it again?
Could it be handled by swiping left?
Can't see it's posibble to arrange ui plugins as it is with coderus Statusmenu extension in setup.
Use N9QTweak T1.2!

I made a reboot and then a full charging. After 4-5 hours the idle average was stable at 11mA, After starting Quickbar it increased to 13 mA. Maybe just a coincidence, I will make some more tests.

Use N9QTweak T1.2!

Currently the only way to close it is to kill it

;
one solution could be to keep the quickbar "minimized" whenever status bar size extends over the overlay; but this would then require an additional click to open it.
And no, currently there are no plans to make the quickbar "rearrangable", as currently it only features last opened apps + quicklaunch ones. Suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks for your tests! Interesting, which tools did you use to measure the idle average?

Battery Usage, I don't know how reliable it is.

Edit:
What is the name of the process so I can be able to kill it.

kill it! you mean remove the app?
If so then the fact is that maybe this app is compatible with coderus ui as announced but it's not useable with it - correct?

What about a swipe to the left to make your app inactive for a moment and then a swipe to the right to activate it again?

I didn't mean arrange your plugins that's not needed but coderus' as a (bad) work around and that can be done with N9QTweak.
