I would like to have the option of having the icon display in the status bar. This could be a paid only option but it would be nice for people like me who just want it to run in the background.
Its easy, but I don't want to do it. Android can kill background processes, and it does if you play memory heavy game. If android decides to kill Gesture Control process while status bar is hidden you will have to reboot you device to get to the home screen.
