Always visible "Home" button for Beta

Having used your previous version extensively, I found it convenient to be able touch the XiiaLive banner that was present on most parts of the previous version to return to the home screen quickly.  At times I found using that function and then accessing functions directly from the home screen to be quicker and easier than sliding to the toolbar to the function I needed.  I suggest incorporating this same type of always visible "home" button into the new version so that users don't have to slide the toolbar to the home button every time to access the home screen.  If used perhaps the home button currently on the toolbar wouldn't be needed?
