Only count a click very close to the icon on the homscreen #42

On the homescreen there's a lot of space around the icons, and touching very far from any icon still counts as clicking on the nearest icon. This proposed change will ignore any click farther away than an icon width in any direction. So you still have a large click area, but not so large you are surprised when you open an icon by touching the screen an unreasonable distance away.

This was actually meant to be a feature, not a bug. You of course can still click right on top of the icon if you want to, but if by any chance you tap outside, it will still launch the app. There is no need for you to tap empty space since there's no such thing like a menu if you hold the finger on the background.

However, if we added some menu, maybe to change the wallpaper, it would be a good addition ;)

Fair enough. I just found it surprising when (having only 4 icons on the homescreen) I accidentally started an app by bumping the screen half a device away :)
