Taskbar always on top

tomul · 01-14-2019, 08:00 AM

Is there any way, to pin the taskbar on top?

e.g.: Reading a kindle book, the taskbar hides. To return to "desktop", I will have to close the opened book and then close kindle. Always by hitting the return-hardware-button. That is annoying...

Floating toolbox app is my favorite 'always on top ' app drawer. May not be exactly what you desire, task bar, but thought I would throw it out there.

Go into Apps. Do a long touch on the app in question. Select Optimize App from the dropdwon list of options. Uncheck the "Always use in full screen" box.

In most apps, that will allow the Onyx task bar to be seen at the top of the screen. However, for a few apps, that doesn't seem to work. They always seem to use the full screen regardless of whether or not the box is unchecked. Not sure why.

Thanks a lot! I didn't know this "optimize App"-trick. It works fine. Just kindle rejects this settings. So I installed floating toolbox, that works fine for it.

Thank you both!
