I would like to experiment something: since Google Play allows beta to be downloaded in place of the “Release” version, I would like to use this channel to publish updates more frequently. Of course you will receive these updates only if you registered to this beta. The idea is to let people experiment sooner with new features or fixes, and not bother other with too frequent updates.

And as a starting point, 8.5b1 adds a new “honour pinned items in edit mode” option (on by default). Unchecking it will disable pinning while in edit mode and allow items to be pinned outside of the screen. 8.5b1 also fixes a problem with “Show status bar” action when used through a shortcut.

Let me know how it works for you !

    Yes, in the beta channel only. I don’t know how much time it need to be online. Releases are online 2 hours after update, maybe this is the same for beta

    Javier Rodríguez García anything special but the ability to pin items outside of the screen by unchecking the new “honour pinned items” in the general section.

    Pierre Hébert , apparently the new function works well, I’ve added a new item, I’ve pinned it and then I’ve entered edit mode. The icon has lost the pinned property when I’ve unchecked the new option and it moves with screen scroll. Although I don’t get the target of this new function, it seems to work. I keep on testing

    for example if a pinned widget from the screen size and it makes we want out of the screen to add other widgets on both sides (top right bottom left) before they were obliged to unpinned the widget and after go in edit mode now this is automatic and it’s very more simple and efficient

    Chris sledge Just wait till I finish my homescreen all made with zooper with pinned widgets, custom made statusbar in zooper, notifications, weather, photo frames and much more. I’ll try to finish it in 2 days and then I’m going to upload it on mycolorscreen. Probably on Friday. 😉
