Re: 'Control Center' should be in 'Launcher' not in 'Session Menu'

 

I agree with putting it in the Me Menu. We can't put everything only one
click away, since with all that you want to do on a daily basis, that would
make for a very cluttered environment. Frequently used apps should go in the
launcher, along with the places. Most other things should be left out.
