Public bug reported:

Currently favorite scopes are ordered in a certain way, and indicated by
a small dot below the header. In case a scope is activated the dot turns
grey.

To move from the first scope (e.g. today) to for example the sixth (e.g. 
twitter) one can
a) slight through (1->2->3->4->5->6) which takes 5 actions, and is pretty time 
consuming, since some scopes load slow
b) use the bottom up gesture and look for the scope wanted and click on it. 
This is much faster and takes only two actions.

However the dots, lead the average user to take option a) because the
dots indicate a left to right movement to switch scopes. Also by using
the b) option, the dots do not make much sense (because it doesn't
matter whether you are at the third or fifth place in the favorite list)

Suggested Behavior
================
The dots should be clickable as shortlinks to each favorite scope. 

This would:
1. Speed up the process of switching, may be even in the case that one has to 
tap twice in order to get the right dot. (may be the margin between the dots 
could even be a bit bigger) 
2. Give the dots an acutal function/meaning (despite to (mis)lead to 
inefficient left right swipes)
