I think all of us long for a real, right pill interface for Android and no longer just a blown-up cellphone UI, like at the Pixel C. We reported on Taskbar, an app that adds a Windows-like taskbar on your device and permits freeform Windows mode, some weeks in the past. Developer Braden Farmer has an up-to-date Taskbar to version 1.2, adding a brand new way to launch the app because of the default home screen, plus some other improvements.
What is NEW
Introducing the perfect way to apply freeform Windows on Android Nougat!
With the aid of setting Taskbar as your default launcher, your apps will usually launch in free form mode from the home screen for a real desktop-like enjoy on your huge-display Android device! Make certain that the “Update domestic screen” choice is enabled in addition to “Freeform window assist.”
- This update additionally includes:
- Hide apps from the beginning menu
- More positioning options
- Miscellaneous improvements
The most important new feature in model 1.2 is the new manner to ‘release’ the launcher. Previously, this would require a whole list of factors to be completed earlier than you can use the Taskbar… Now all that is wished is for ‘Replace domestic display screen’ to be enabled and the app set as the default launcher in Settings > Apps > Permissions. It is that clean. The alternative improvements are smaller but less useful: the potential to hide apps from the beginning menu and positioning improvements. Then there are the often vague ‘miscellaneous upgrades,’ a staple of changelogs, considering that time immemorial.
