[Bug 1465539] Re: Is it OK to change the app layout to vertical?

 

Well, if you get an SMS you can see the content of it in the
notification area accessible from the top edge. Also showing the apps
spread horizontally doesn't really show you more content of the app,
just a different portion of it.

Title:
  Is it OK to change the app layout to vertical?

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I just upgraded my Android phone to 5.0. Attached please the captured
  picture. The running apps on android are displayed in a vertical
  structure, which seems to me more reasonable since I can see some of
  the content of the apps without opening them. For example, if an SMS
  comes to the phone with a code which is needed for authentication on
  payment, I do not need to open the app and I can know the content of
  the SMS, then I can switch back to my app to input the code.

  Currently, our design shows all of the app in the horizontal way. A
  user has no way to view some part of the content without opening it.
  Also, it is good to have "X" as shown in the android app though
  swiping is a way to kill the app.
