Description

**Please read through the README and the Man pages before submitting**
**Please also make sure that there isn't any prior issue describing this feature**

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Not a problem, More of a difficult suggestion.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
It would be nice to have touch gestures for opening/closing the panel.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I've tried using touch gestures from other programs (lisgd, ect) to open/close the notification center,
But that doesn't follow the finger properly, It just pops into place and feels very off.

**Additional context**
*I'm not sure if this is even possible* but this is how i'm thinking this could work,
Have the panel be invisible and be very thin on the side, Then if a touch input (and only touch input) is dragging the panel more than x amount of pixels start revealing the panel.

Perhaps a carousel could be used here?
Please let me know.

Research direction

Read the README and man pages first, then inspect the notification panel's existing open and close behavior and how touch input is handled. Done would mean touch-only dragging reveals and hides the panel while following the finger, with the gesture behavior documented and tested against the existing controls.
