Hello everyone.
After release of 8.1 with it's ?notifications center? I, let's say, wasn't fully satisfied. Let's face it, it looks like a some kind of workaround and doesn't fit the OS ?*with the player control, voice contlol interfaces etc. Also it's not a bit original ? it looks absolutely the same as a notifications center in other mobile OSs.
Then I came up with an idea. Why not to use idea from Office products and not to turn notification menu into an expandable system tray?
The idea is described in a suggestion under this link (rate here). I'll describe it shortly here: it's a ribbon of icons, shown through swipe down, each resembling the icon from a top bar. They could be interacted directly or open the specific app or an options page.
Here're some rough design sketches.
