Android 8.0+ (Oreo) is also supported via an adb shell command.\n\nSimply follow these steps to configure your device for launching apps in freeform mode:\n\n<b>1.</b> Check the box for \"Freeform window support\" inside the Taskbar app\n\n<b>2.</b> Follow the directions that appear in the pop-up to enable the proper settings on your device (one-time setup)\n\n<b>3.</b> Go to your device\'s recent apps page and clear all recent apps*\n\n<b>4.</b> Select an app using Taskbar to launch it in a freeform window\n\n* For best results, especially on Android 8.0+, restart your device before using freeform mode\n\n<b>Window size presets</b>\n\nTaskbar can launch app windows in various preset sizes. You can choose a window size by long-pressing or right-clicking an app icon and selecting \"New window.\"\n\nTo save a window size preset for a specific app, simply long-press the preset, and a checkmark will appear indicating that it is set as default. Taskbar will launch the app using this selected size on subsequent launches.\n\nNote that window sizes don\'t work correctly on Android 8.0+. However, you can work around this by launching the app, immediately closing it, then launching it again from Android\'s overview menu.\n\n<b>Troubleshooting</b>\n\n<i>• Apps still launch fullscreen</i>\n\nIf an app is launched that is already loaded into memory, Taskbar will bring it into the foreground. In order to launch the app into freeform mode, it has to be launched from a fresh state.\n\nSwipe the app away from recents, and then re-launch it from the recent apps page using Taskbar. If this doesn\'t work, then long-press the app icon, select \"App info,\" and then force stop the app. Alternatively, you can restart your device.\n\n<i>• Apps that are maximized cannot be restored into a window</i>\n\nIf you press the Maximize button on an app\'s title bar, Android will bring the app out of freeform mode and into fullscreen mode. As mentioned above, Taskbar can only launch apps into freeform windows if they are launched from a fresh state.\n\nTo fix this, you can maximize windows by tapping or clicking just outside the app\'s window frame. This will expand the window to fill all the available space while keeping it in the freeform window workspace.\n\n<b>Enabling full system-level freeform window support</b>\n\nIf you have access to a computer with the Android SDK installed, you can enable support for freeform mode at the system level by running the following command (one-line):\n\nadb shell settings put global enable_freeform_support 1\n\nReboot your device after running the above command, and a new button will appear for app entries in your device\'s recent apps page to enter/exit freeform mode for a given app. (Note that the button does not work on Android 7.1.2)</string> | |
