I love the simplicity of it but it'd be nice to get a toggle to hide the status bar.

Can be hidden soon!

Please see #43 😉

8bitPit commented

@jakcharvat not exactly the same, I know, an “immersive mode” hides usually also the status bar
But hiding status and navigation bar should be separated, due to its implementation process.

jakcharvat commented

Well 43 talks about both, navbar and status bar. Hence why I closed it 😉

@8bitPit: Would it be possible toggling off the status bar clock for the homescreen, since it's already displayed in the top of the launcher?

That's the only thing bothering me right now, I have had no regrets since I began testing out your beautiful launcher. Thanks for your dedication.

8bitPit commented

@Montell2099 thank you :) Unfortunately, I cannot hide just the clock, notification icons & your connections & DND indicator, etc. would also be invisible.

Android - at least recent versions - already provides option for hiding status bar. Adding that feature to launcher sounds redundant.

Okay, I was a bit naive there. Sorry for the misinformation. At some point there will be a trigger which lets you hide the status bar (and even the navigation bar at the bottom). There will also be a gesture to reveal it again, to quickly check e.g. your battery or Wi-Fi connection. Moreover, I experimented with hiding the status bar only sometimes, for example while scrolling through the app list. So just want to let you guys know that I didn’t forget the issue, but turned it is more complex to integrate it properly.

Btw, yeah @Bushmills, on some devices that's already possible, but the status bar would be hidden all the time not just in the launcher afaik.

Bushmills commented

I can set this up per app, including only for Niagara launcher.But it is quite possible that this is not an universal feature, I can't tell - in which case it may of course make sense to add such support to the launcher. Or to every other app one chooses to install :)

8bitPit commented

@Bushmills ah okay, thanks for the clarification. Yeah ,I believe most roms don't have this feature.

@kousiksaran are you using Niagara Launcher to hide the bar or another app? Can you please also share which device you're using?

Thanks, we'll monitor if others report the same problem and take a closer look if this issue is directly related to Niagara Launcher if they do.
