Current behavior
Carousel has a header and the buttons are in the header making it difficult to use. Very bad Ux. 99.9% of the carousels have buttons either in or on the sides of the main list and the scroller is usually on bottom. They dont have a header as well.

Expected behavior

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Very very bad UX

i suggest include swiper to primeng, because Gallery and Carousel components are so old, unfriendly with: responsive, ux, touch devices.

Any estimate?

[pantonis]

Any news on this one?

@cagataycivici we want to use your carousel component, but without touch support and without access to next previous functions are very weird to use

[cagataycivici]

Yes, a new Carousel is being worked on for 7.0, current one is outdated already and a new modern one is being designed.

[cagataycivici]

Postponed to 7.1

[pantonis]

what a shame

[pantonis]

I do not see it in 7,1 list

[nimbusparis]

This feature is not in 7.x or 8.x. Cancelled?

[cagataycivici]

It is done and will be available in 8.1.0.

@cagataycivici you can tell me when 8.1.0 will be available?
