Address conflict with Android "swipe back" gesture in dismiss alarm slider #152

Now that Google has, for whatever reason, discontinued 2 button mode (my old favorite), I find myself constantly going "back" when trying to pull the dismiss alarm slider to the right...

In a half-awake state at the start of the day, ending up on your home screen while your dreaded alarm noise is playing, fumbling around trying to switch apps so you can try to dismiss the alarm again - it tends to start you off on the wrong foot.

Mainly I blame Google, of course, because I never had this problem with the design of your app before.

Proposed solutions I've thought of:

1. Add blank padding space on the left of the screen to avoid the "back" gesture startup hitbox.
2. Reverse the swipe direction. (nevermind, you can "back" from the right side of the screen, too...)
2. ...Make the slider vertical?
