Various changes to make the homescreen look nicer #9
Conversation
When the homescreen changes from landscape to portrait mode (and vice versa), animate the angle.
Make grid tiles smaller horizontally to fit 4 icons (instead of 3) onto the screen (assuming N950 screen).
We want to use the WallClock in more places than just the lock screen, so move it into MainScreen.
Use global "wallClock" object in MainScreen instead of static JS Date object. Fix layout and colors to look more like in Harmattan.
This removes the background image (improves scrolling performance, as the background + semi-transparent black overlay don't need to be drawn) and tab bar, and adds the favorites screen as first item in the pager.

the way I'd like this to be done is to use qt-components window, instead of an Item
this also removes the need for the rotation hack (since qt-components already has an understanding of orientation), sensor handling, etc - plus we can ditch some unneeded code out of lipstick (orientation handling, and status bar which is broken anyway)
think you can look into that?

I'd vote against the qt-components dependency, since qt-components is
obsolete anyway.

Same as in Harmattan: - Longpress to show close buttons - "Done" and "Close all" buttons - Abort close mode when scrolling out of view - Abort close mode when closing last window

Again, very much inspired by Harmattan's UX.
With new qt-components with w00t's patch applied, the status bar rotation information is correctly applied.

i'd prefer a proper toolbar for this, to match theming changes (if we make any), but that can wait I suppose

I'm going to merge this. Nobody else has been working on the homescreen for a while, so it makes sense to me. |

Not sure if all these changes are acceptable (depending on the UX direction you plan to go), but at least the following patches seem like a good idea:
Feel free to cherry-pick only these two if the rest is not acceptable.
