The handle that opens the drawer should maybe be a bit more transparent to start with, not the arrow but the background.

The action button we need to do something with as well, right now you have  to scroll all the way to the bottom ft prevent the 
 action button form obscuring stuff on the details and edit pages.

But unless I hear strong and well reasoned feedback from Henrik or some of the others who have been rather outspoken on wanting the more Android typical menu / action buttons in the top bar, I think that's where we'll go.
