I kind-of like the new design that brings up the menu on middle pull and closes the open application on corner pull. That eases my life as it saves me a 2-gesture chain; I used to first do a side-swipe to get from an application to the main menu and then top-swipe to lock the device. Now if it only would minimize the foreground app at the same time when it locks the device, so that the next time I unlock it I'd get directly to the main screen! This is so crucial to me I am even considering to patch it so
