[ApplicationSwitch] Dificult to find the shell app if it is a empty scope

[Renato Araujo Oliveira Filho]

In the new image the shell appears on the application switch (right edge swipe), this is great because I can go back to the shell from there. But at least for me there is some small problems that can cause confusion.

1- The shell appear in different positions - On the application switcher the shell appears always in a different position in my case I was using only one app and sometimes the shell appear os top of it sometimes on bottom of it, this is annoying since most of the cases I want to interact with the app and i need to find it on the list because the shell is jumping btw the positions. If the shell appears always on the back will be easy to find the app.

2 - If you go to a empty scope (my Video scope is empty there is only the title), and enter in the application switcher is very difficult to know what is the shell and what is an application, they have the same visuals .

The dash (not shell) appears in the app stack just as any other app - most recently used at the back.

So if you went to spread from the dash, it will be at the back, if you went to the spread from the app, that app will be at the bottom, think of it as if you're pulling in all the other apps from the right.

You can also always use the left edge swipe to get to the dash, or the bottom button on the launcher.

Saviq already pointed out the issue #1 in his comment. It is desired feature that the user is able to switch between the recently launched application and dash via a short right edge swipe. Long left edge swipe gets you always to dash no matter of it's position in the recency stack. So you should use that in that use case.

I agree with the second point made. In the future with the new design that won`t be the case anymore though. Every launched scope will get it`s own surface in the switcher.
