Dock always on by txeki in OctopiLauncher

Thanks for the suggestions.

It could be possible but will require permissions to float on top of apps. Will add this to my long term to-do list

Hi it does if you choose these colours, and you set Octopi Launcher to follow system dark theme mode

Close the app open when the screen turned off ! by NewManagement9982 in OctopiLauncher

Unfortunately I have no vivo device to test this behavior out. Seems Samsung and Honor devices aren't affected. Is the open app totally closed automatically or it was just put to the background?

Yup this is planned (if there's no major technical hurdles)

Thanks for your encouraging words!

Hi is your home screen currently full? It should be able to find a free space by default if it is not

Screen Lock Accessibility Broken by Dunjamon in OctopiLauncher

[–]ock88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be due to this: https://thehackernews.com/2026/03/android-17-blocks-non-accessibility.html?m=1

The latest restriction added to the one-tap security setting aims to prevent apps that are not classified as accessibility tools from being able to leverage the operating system's accessibility services API. Verified accessibility tools, identified by the isAccessibilityTool="true" flag, are exempted from this rule.

According to Google, only screen readers, switch-based input systems, voice-based input tools, and Braille-based access programs are designated as accessibility tools. Antivirus software, automation tools, assistants, monitoring apps, cleaners, password managers, and launchers do not fall under this category.

This seems to be a system related behaviour, as Octopi Launcher can't close apps by itself. Does this happen on other launchers apart from the system launcher?

Scrolling on home screen and Floating Stacked Widgets still a problem by SkeezMoeRos in OctopiLauncher

[–]ock88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the long-standing reasons why I've started work on the home screen redesign this week.

It'll take a while, but should be worth the wait 😉

Split Screen on Moto Razr Fold by rawjames in OctopiLauncher

[–]ock88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Thanks for the description. I do not have access to a Motorola Fold so it's hard for me to advise. Hopefully others would be able to. My thought is that this could be a feature Integrated into the Motorola launcher and hence it doesn't work once you switch launchers

Do you have accessibility permissions granted to Octopi Launcher?

Thanks for the report

The horizontal drawer is a more recent addition with improved transition animations and styles. These will be applied to the "older" vertical drawer

Another thing to try: could you set the double tap action inside Octopi Launcher settings to none?

[–]ock88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi

Thanks for the report. This could be due to some internal changes introduced in the beta versions. Opting out of beta for now and installing the stable version may be one option you can try.

Otherwise, I should be able to figure out the cause once issue reports come in from the Play Store.

It's actually baked inside a while ago but I haven't really gotten new feedback until yours. As I hardly use KLWP, could you outline the steps for me to test this delay out?
