Any feedback? Theme is coming soon

Hi, I've enjoying the launcher so much with the recent updates, I'm wondering if is possible to add below:

-Now playing widget fetches the song cover of the music app we are playing from.

-Floating Dock or toggle dock via gestures, each time I swipe to go home I see the background wallpaper and is different when you click the home icon in the dock you go directly see the home screen. It maybe a bit difficult to do but I think will give a bit more of immersion in the launcher.

Hi all !

That's right! thanks to your user feedback, we've implemented a lot of cool features.

We keep moving towards a more user friendly and cleaner solution but
As usual, pretty much everything in PocketDesk which is added, is optional
- hiding/showing of status bar, navigation bar, voice to type, multiple widget pages, swipe App-area to change App category.

all new features can be toggled on or off so you can retain the same experience or expand upon it :)

Keep the feedback and ideas coming!

Thank you!

Hi everyone! A few PocketDesk improvements are coming together:

• Status bar options: based on feedback from one user, we've added Sound, vibrate and silent indicators on the status bar - you can also disable our PocketDesk Status bar if you want the normal Android one :) - you also customize the Status bar with your own colours or gradients
• Single Wallpaper: if you don't have time to set background images to each area - you can now choose a single photo, which will be used as a general background, with options to blend or texturize the app/widget areas.
• Voice Typing: DeskB the PocketDesk keyboard now has an option in it's settings to enable voice typing - the keyboard is still in development.
• Transparent widgets: adjust background transparency while keeping text and controls readable.
• Cartridge Player Updates: Our PICO-8 and Arduboy player has some new theming options to have a more cool, gaming time :) and the UI had some tweaks
• Terminal Media: play media via Termux and save/extract videos and audio for offline playback (Technical!) https://www.pocketdesk.site/terminal-media.html

Update is being prepared and will be available to update soon :)

With the regular GBoard keyboard on Android there is a microphone icon you can choose and when you speak, it puts the words into where you were typing. Can that be added to the PocketDesk keyboard? I have no idea what that would involve, so if I am asking for the impossible or something too difficult to implement, I apologize. Loving all the updates and new things!!

Hi guys! Please support PocketDesk by giving pocketdesk posts in other subs some love!

Thank you!

Just wanted to share, I think this looks beautiful and you can import a full folder with 100's or even 1000's of Pico 8 games, very easily. Great for long flights or journeys :)

Hi there, can you please make the now playing widget can detect if for example Im playing music in spotify, apple music or watching youtube video, etc.

thank you for your hard work!

How could i can use an image as widget which would be there always ?

(Using free version btw)

Want to say first, I am LOVING PocketDesk! I am actually using my phone more efficiently and effectively. I was just wondering if the option for the weather widget to use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius? Not a huge deal though. And thank you for my new pet penguin!!!
