Allow configuration to be open by swipe top down

[ivanfmartinez]

Android Phones use the swipe from top to bottom to show notifications and also open buttons to go to configuration.

Most users will try this instead of the hold on top bar.
Maybe this can be configurable, and users can decide which option is better (or maybe allow both).

Thanks for the idea! It shipped in app 0.4.47 with firmware 0.28.0: a swipe down from the top edge of the screen now opens the settings page. Holding the top bar still works too, so both are there.

The same release also makes the swipe up from the bottom edge work everywhere: over an open card, a camera or the settings page it closes everything and goes back to the home page, like the home gesture on a phone.

Update ESP Screen Manager in the add-on store, then press Update on your screen in ESP Screens to get the new firmware.
