      When Lomiri is rendering in windowed mode

      Could you elaborate on that? How does that differ from normal mode?

      How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

        @opolork It is a convergence thing.

        When docked it is assumed that the need is for a desktop-ish experience.
        So we switch to windows mode enabling having multiple windows rendered on the same screen (mosaic).
        Thus we should have multiple apps running at the same time in foreground (but only one having focus).

        The UT Tweak Tool allows you to manually switch to windows mode (IIRC, I'm not sure if it's part of the system but I doubt it) hence allowing multiple apps to run simultaneously.
        BTW this windows mode is more battery consuming, so use it accordingly.

          @applee So by default, I'm only using non-windowed mode?

              Don't you have this setting "mode ordinateur" (desktop mode) ?

                You proved me wrong. Thanks.
                At least I didn't make a plain assumption :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                  I was not sure you have it because the "system" part of the drop down menu only appears on my phone since i scalled down grid size (same thing for text on the left of the menu, "navigateur" on the screenshot).

                        @domubpkm Sadly that is true. What I meant more is how you multitask. I think Lomiri encourages you more to multitask than Android. Hopefully, we can have a more optimized memory management especially with web views because when it works well, it is a joy to use 😄
