...or too much.
Too much but perhaps still nothing what we're looking for.
I like the idea of having all the function under one finger. So I like the menu in a photo. However I still can see there some possibilities of not killing the idea of usability and making more space + expanding usability of other menu icons. I GIMPed fast the solution. What would be if we had the indicator icons along the longer phone edge? Choosing the right edge seems to be a problem of Ubunu phone. Either You scroll open programs from right to left on a vertical screen (Nexus 5 from bottom to the top) or You scroll indicators that could easily be put along the longer edge, visible, with no need to scroll anything Just as I pasted it in the GIMP in a photo.

As I understand these area is to allow people to manage the most important functions easily and fast. The way we have it today is neither simple nor fast nor intuitive.

The left app launcher can be easily deactivated and the icons put there or another much better idea: two parallel rows with the icons. This idea is better cause we use the lenght of the screen by putting all indicators visible (without a need to scroll) in two rows either along the upper and lower edge or all at the top in two rows.

We should be able to change brightness at ANY time after activating the indicator area. The switcher could be put there along the lower edge, indicator at the top.
