I like the new default setup, it’s a great place to start “reverse engineering”. There is one thing I can’t figure how it’s done: the orange folder that appears on swipe up.
1. Where is the folder icon? I found it, kind of: Inside the folder itself. Really?
2. Where is that swipe up gesture defined?
Any hint appreciated.
Cheers!

That’s jus a side bar, which is basically a folder lol and it’s in the event /action list in current desktop… Or events /actions all settings

Also, you can long press on the edge, and select “folder settings to tweak it to your taste, because I haven’t figured out where the actual folder icon is hidden!

Which kinda folder icon

Yes, the folder icon (hidden) is in the folder itself 🙂 Funny, isn’t it?
That was the only way I found to not clutter some desktop with a possibly unwanted icon.

Pierre Hébert ok, cool. But how on earth is this possible? Didn’t find a way to achieve this kind of recursion. And where’s the swipe?

I believe you need to check expert mode in general options to see the events&action category in your desktop settings.
This form of “conceptual recursion” is possible because this isn’t a real recursion: the folder icon and the folder container are distinct objects. The icon acts as a trigger and provides some “external” parameters such as the window animation, size, etc. while the container only contains objects, so there is no real problem for it to contain an object to launch it.
In fact it is possible to open the same folder through two folder icons, hence with different window style, but that’s not available through the standard configuration settings. This is possible to do through scripting though.

Pierre Hébert thanks, found the trigger 🙂

Pierre Hébert that’s a pretty smart way to hide an icon. I usually turn the transparency to 0 and set to non-clickable, and put it behind something else.
