Wlcm back to Colorful NookOS. So last time I said the main reason the ratings were kinda low was that I never really checked it on a phone, and then I just left it. So yeah this time I actually sat down and did that, plus a bunch of window stuff that was still annoying me.

First thing, you can resize the windows now. Like grab the edges and the corners and pull. Before it was just drag the top bar around and that was it. And if a window was maximized and you grabbed an edge, it drops out of the big size instead of FORCING that nuh uh, I am gonna be full-sized. Also some apps have a smallest size so the calculator doesn’t turn into a tiny useless square.

Then I went back to maximize because it was still weird on a few apps. The clock was the one that bugged me earlier, it was going oval, that part was already fixed so it stays a circle and just gets bigger. But the web app was the opposite problem. When you hit the green button it got a huge window and the site inside was still a skinny phone page sitting in the middle. So now the browser actually uses the width you gave it. On a normal monitor a site can be desktop. Notes do their own thing too, the cards reflow instead of getting stretched.

And then the phone part, which is what I said I would do. If the screen is narrow the app icons stop being one long column and wrap into rows under the bar. The clock widget shrinks but it stays round, so that the numbers don’t fall off it. When you open an app the window comes up almost the full width, under the icons rnn. The lights are a bit easier to tap. You can also drag a window with a finger, and pull the edges. I checked it narrow and I checked it wide again so the desktop doesn’t turn into the phone layout when you have room.

That’s basically it for this one. Still more I wanna do but the mobile thing was the one I kept putting off so ywahh.
