Gestures or layout customization in Android app

Sure thing. I see now that you already have gestures so what about these two ideas instead?

  1. Is there a way to move the buttons in the bottom tray area around and choose what buttons would be present? For myself I don’t use the next and back buttons so I would remove those and move the Story/Feed button over in it’s place to the right (boxes in red in my image). Also having a button down there for Original Story could be nice.
  2. Alternately, I’ve seen on some RSS apps the ability to just double click on the text area(in yellow in my image) to flip back and forth between feed mode and story mode. Just makes it easier to flip back and forth between those two modes as I find myself doing that a lot depending on the feed I’m on.
