Improve Close all opened apps function (UX/GUI)

  • /e/ version: all
  • Device model(s): any

Summary

Improve and make faster the process to close all the apps

Description

What is the current behavior?

You have always more than one app opened on your device. When you want to close one or all opened apps, you just have to click on the square at the button right of the screen and all the opened apps appears like below (on the left of the picture):

The cross (surrounded by a red square in the picture above) appears after 2 seconds. So here, the idea is that cross appears immediately and not after 2 seconds.

In addition, when you want to close all the apps in one action, you have to scroll down all the windows of the opened apps to make appears the button Close All like above (on the right).

What is the improved behavior?

It would be better to locate this button at the bottom in order to have it accessible as soon as you select the square button which show all the opened apps. Or we can let it at the top but put it on the front of any app displayed. Put this button on the front of any displayed element is really important.

What does it bring?

That would give a better UX for everybody.

Validation

The validation would be fast for this improvement. Just open some apps and select the square button to see if the cross appears immediately and where is placed the Close All button. Select the Close All Button to check it works fine
