When a swipe past the first or the last home screen page is set to open an
app, the home screen no longer stretches. It moves aside with the finger, as
for a real page, an empty black page comes in from that edge, and the home
screen (icons and wallpaper) blurs and darkens the further it goes. Let go
past 40% of the width, or flick, and the page settles over the whole screen
and the app comes up on it; let go earlier and the home screen comes back.
Swipes set to other actions keep the stretch.
The home screen is moved with the drag layer's animation matrix, which does
not move touch coordinates, so the pages keep reading the same touch. The
blur is a second index on the folder blur's property in the depth controller.
The status bar icons turn light over the black page. Once the app is in
front the launcher stops and the page resets; if nothing comes within 1.5 s
the home screen slides back.
