It's a bit more complicated as it involves managing screens of different resolution and sizes. Currently I'm focusing on core features that everyone will be able to use, such as dock folder and more gestures. Coming back to foldables improvements after that

You can actually float/ pin a widget to make it behave like a dock.

As for the actual dock, that can be achieved too by creating a folder, changing it to grid mode, and resizing it to the size you want. You can then float/pin it too.

Google Now slide left won't be planned soon as it requires Google not to change and break things in future, which is something I can't control. As a work-around, you can assign the Google app to the gesture when you swipe right

Not currently, though an open source rewrite in the future is something that I'll be keen to explore

For drawer folders, it's currently under drawer settings

Not for current version. With the stuff I have learnt from building this, a rewrite could be possible, but I do not have a timeline on that yet

Thanks for the ☕

There are a few available styles, including a more classical grid mode for folders

Thank you. Welcome your feedback here

I can't advise on this, but I suspect not, especially if the task bar is part of Samsung's launcher :(

Thanks for link, bookmarked for future implementation

Currently not, but a major update will be dedicated to enhancing the current search capabilities

Thank you for the detailed feedback - really appreciate your suggestions. Quite a number of these will be polished up along the way, and new features added (app tags, more gestures and options)

Not for now, I've not ruled out an alternative open source version, but that will happen with a future rewrite

Currently multi touch gestures aren't supported ;)

Thank you so much! A video speaks a million words and yours helped me to instantly identify what's causing this.

What happens is that when you remove apps from a folder until one is left, that app remains as a folder, and currently this launcher doesn't allow you to drag one folder over another.

A workaround is to tap that "folder" and drag that last app out from its "folder", into the other folder you want it to be in.

A fix for this is planned, thanks for highlighting this confusing behaviour ;)

It's not a known bug, could you provide more details? I just tried creating a home screen folder with 4 apps, and am able to.

Do you mean the A-Z bar on the right of the drawer in Microsoft Launcher?

I've been working on a launcher for a while now, do help me test it out!

Features include:

• Widget stacks (with auto scroll)
• Swipe up and swipe down to launch different apps
• Display app drawer icons as tiles or a list
• Individually resize home screen icons, for mixed-size icon layouts
• Freely position and resize a widget or icon
• Frosted glass background for widgets (experimental)
• App drawer folders
• Fade a widget
• Separate layouts for different screens for foldables
• Tap a folder to launch its first app (swipe to open folder)
• Assign a nickname to an app for instant app search and launch (e.g. searching "ff" launches Firefox instantly)
• Lots of custom animations and haptics

Planned features include:

• Profile switching with Tasker support
• Square tiles for app drawer
• Swipe to open a widget pop up

Do give my work on progress launcher a try

Thanks for the report. Right here is actually fine to share feedback.

In terms of status bar and label colors, I'll have to add in manual controls. Currently, things are handled by the system, which means different ways of displaying on old and new Android versions.

By bumping screen size, you adjusted the scale/ density of your screen items right? That's one scenario I have not thought of. What you encountered is partly by design - the launcher detects a different screen and allows you to configure a new screen from scratch. I have plans to add a prompt to let users confirm if this is what they want, or if they want to copy over an existing layout.

I do have a long to-do list, mainly to bring this up to speed in terms of features. There are occasional reports of crashes which I'm also investigating

I'll share here if I open source this or a variant of this
