Hi, hopefully there's some way to forward this along to the xperia android dev team! I'm sure that some people find the small apps feature useful, but I do find it to be in the way, especially since the lollipop update, where the app cards have become larger and a search bar has been added to the task switcher screen, putting vertical space at more of a premium. Also you can see the transparent menu bar car be quite useful, but is blacked out on xperia software, I've added a comparison with normal lollipop software in the left. So an option to disable the small apps feature would make this page a lot more useful, I would hope it will be included in a future update.
That's a nice idea of a new feature, will be quite faster if you contact Sony directly with the same suggestion:
