Suggestion: Kirikae interface

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is it possible for you to change Kirikae's interface? I would like if 
Kirikae would pop up on the springboard after doubletaping, and it would 
be somewhat transparrent like the blue iPhone UI, and not flat like the 
current build. 

If you have no clue of what i'm talking about, i mean like the iPod 
controls when you doubletap while it plays in the background. Just a 
bigger pop-up with the "slide to quit" like the current build.

It would also be awesome if Kirikae is themeable.

I'd like to know if it's possible to go to an entirely graphical interface 
where the running icons are on a grid or 
something and dragging them off the grid closes them. Tapping the icon switches 
as it does now. A graphical 
approach is more in keeping with the iPhone UI I would think. Especially if it 
were dressed in iPhone UI elements 
like steffenmoss suggested.

@steffenmoss, Invid72:

Sure, it's possible.
I don't intend to do it, but it's possible :)

Others are welcome - and encouraged - to make alternative task switchers with 
all
sorts of varying interfaces and features.

For the sake of clarification, does that mean that you are not planning to 
extend Kirikae in that way specifically, 
or is Kirikae feature complete?

If it's the latter, I may try my hand at it, but I haven't done any coding in 
almost 20 years :)

@Invid72:

The former. I still plan to work on Kirikae (when I have time), but I don't 
intend to
change the basic functionality/GUI. I might add some color, and possibly a 'grid
layout', but I don't intend to radically alter its appearance.

Understood, and thanks for your time and efforts on your various projects. 
(SBCategories is worth every penny 
for those of you that haven't picked it up yet!)

I imagine it doesn't make a whole lot of sense producing an elaborate 
application from one perspective. I 
suspect Apple will feel pressure to add some sort of rudimentary (at least) 
task switching interface to stay 
ahead of the competition. Android is getting good and they'll soon have 
hardware worth buying. If Apple does 
do something like that they have a tendency to suck all the air out of the room.

That said, I'm gonna have a look at your code and see if I can learn something. 
Cheers.
