Hey!
Thanks for your feedback!
Can you provide a screenshot of the settings screen on the tablet?

Sure here you go. Sorry for the delay. A wierd thing which I discovered is that after a while settings page crash on Tablet and one way is to cure it is reinstalling Quick Bar again.

Tablet settings page

Can you implement this into your project? :

https://github.com/amarchen/lipstick-launchermonitor

I would really want to search and launch an app on my Jolla Tablet.

I'm used to remember the names of my apps :D

About this https://github.com/amarchen/lipstick-launchermonitor

you mean for launching an app or a Lipstick replacement?

Yes, I mean for searching (list view with scrolling) and launching an app. See from Jolla Harbour/Store phone app named Quick Launch (armv7hl) to get a comparison idea :)

Good point about the name of the app!
Thank you for the screen shot; you mean the whole quickbar won't launch anymore
once it crashes? Not even if you reboot the tablet?

As I mentioned before the Quickbar settings page only (qml) crashes (behind app icon) and will not launch or show up again. App cover circles around a while and disappear. The lockscreen quickbar itself stays up and running. And no, reboot does not help. Only remedy is by doing a reinstall.

I'm running SFOS version 2.1.4.14 on my Tablet

Works fine under SailfishOS 2.1.0, but does not support landscape orientation (and its colour scheme is quite ... colourful).  Thus QuickBar is not (yet) for me, altough being a nice and useful utility.

Hey and thanks for your comment! :)

About the color scheme, to better understand,

would  something more monochrome, perhaps in tune with the ambience, be a better solution?

About the landscape mode, are you referring to the home screen ?

Even after reboot it gets stuck on setting page, cannot click any button, cannot swipe in any direction, only wayout is shutting down device with power button. A Sailfish release dependency is needed so that latest version cannot be installed in Jolla 1.

As far as Jolla C is concerned, main problem is that it doesn't remember which shortcut I chose last time, so it always opens the latest links shortcut and not the favorites one.

Why can't see the original Maps app on the bar?

The maps app seems to be visible (see the screenshots above); or you mean a different app?

No, not different. Really I see among the screenshots, but for me not visible. Before this update the jolla store writes to me there is an update for this app, and I updated. But later I saw that not newer version, but worked on right side with transparent background. I used it for few days and now refresh that for this version, I have seen everything works fine but I havent seen the original jolla maps app. I uninstalled this version and reinstall, but this problem even now persists. Have you any idea how can I repair this prob.? (I try maybe yet to uninstall this new version after install the old one and uninstall that and finally install again the new one, if only... edited: I tried what I wrote but so it does not work. Any other idea perhaps?)

This seems to be a bug. We are working on it and it will be fixed for the next release (available in the next few days probably)

Very great and functional again! Thanks. But I think if you can make it to nicer (design), everybody will be happier! :)

For example fancier basic icons and the bar background adapting to the lock/home screen colors and will be a little bit transparent. "I think a lot thrown into the user experience." :P

Thanks for the comment!
Actually the background color is the same as the ambience colors; so changing ambience will adapt it as well.

As for the transparency, that is definitely something we'd like to have, but apparently it seems difficult to put it in practice :). We are however trying to work it out, so we hope to be able to give something in the next release!

Thanks for LPM support! Works fine!  :)
Why doesn't Jolla native messenger app show on Quickbar? Is it a bug or by design? It would also be great if one could pin a few apps to Quickbar.

Hi,

Could you make it NOT show on screen when in low-power-mode? Quickbar dont work in low-power-mode anyway.
