The bottom Menu Bar of the widget is the control center for finding and organizing apps. It contains the Add, Sort, Tag, and Search icons.

To customize the visual appearance of this bar (background, icon sets, text color/typeface), enter Edit On > select the App drawer (highlight) > select Object Design Menu (top) > Options .

The Search icon on the bottom menu bar offers two modes:

• Index Search - Offers a selection of initial letters, numbers, or special characters to jump to specific items.
  • Keyboard Search - The 3-dot icon at the bottom opens a full keyboard search.
  • Folder Support - Search can optionally include items contained inside folders. Toggle this via Main Menu > Launcher Options > Behavior > Search in folder.

The Menu Bar allows a managed Sort icon on the menu bar.

• Temporary Sorting: Sort momentarily by Name, Recently installed, or Recent updates.
  • Persistent Sorting: Defined in the widget's Shared Options \> Sort order. Options include:
    • Name - Alphabetical.
    • User Defined -Allows manual rearrangement of apps and folders in Edit Mode.
    • Smart - Ranks items based on usage patterns (time of day, location, headset status, etc.). The number of “smart picks” can be set from 1 to 25.
• Tags - This allows users to group applications.
  • Built-in Tags - Includes categories such as Productivity, Folder, and Hidden. Additional categories (Maps, News, Social, Games, etc.) can be enabled via Main Menu \> Launcher Options \> Behavior \> Built-in tags.
  • Untagged Items - An option exists to display only items that have no tag assigned.

The design options are, again, available once the widget is selected and the Option icon is tapped.

• View Type - Toggle between Grid type (customizable columns/rows from 1 to 16) or List type (vertical list with icon and name).
• Scrolling - Behavior is vertical. Options include System scroll animation, Snap scroll (prevents items from being cut off), or Hide scrollbar.

Users have detailed control over the visual presentation of apps. These can be applied globally via the Shared Options tab.

• Icon Customization
  • Size & Padding - Adjust pixel size and margins (padding).
  • Effects - Adjust Opacity, Saturation (0% = grayscale), or apply a Color Filter (overlay).
  • Dragging - Individual icons within the widget can be dragged out and dropped onto a page layout.
• Label Customization
  • Text - Toggle Show label on/off, select Typeface, and adjust Font size.
  • Scaling - Scale X(%) controls the horizontal spread of the text.
  • Shadows - Configurable Shadow color, Radius (depth), and Offset X/Y (direction).

• Widget Background - The overall background of the drawer.
• Menu Bar - Specific background for the bar as well as individual bar object icons, menu typeface and color.

• Launch Animation - Located in the Edit dialog, this controls the effect when an app is opened. Options include System default, No animation, Fast, Fade in, Popup, or directional slides (Flying to/Sliding from).

• Badge Counts - A visual indicator (red circle with a number) to show the number of unread notifications or new items waiting for the user within the specific app. These can be customized directly within the widget's Shared Options.

  • VERIFY THIS COMMENT: do badges show on App Drawer and not App Group? Check your phone … then adjust this … This is a difference from the App Group which displays badges, but customization is handled only system-wide via Main Menu > Launcher Options > Icon Style > Badge Count.
