On-screen buttons & corners
What they are. A few small, tappable buttons Zenith can show at the edges of your sky — the home screen. Each is optional and set at Settings › system. They give you a visible tap target for things you'd otherwise reach by a held gesture.
The settings gear
What it is. A ⚙ gear in the lower-right corner that opens the settings sheet when tapped.
Behavior. On by default, so a fresh sky always has a way into settings. The gear shows only while no ring — the wheel of apps that opens under your finger — is open and no sheet is open, so it never crowds your stars. Its switch is Settings › system › show ⚙ settings corner. Turn it off and the sky goes bare — you then reach settings by holding the lower-right corner, which is bound to open settings by default, or from the "zenith settings" row pinned in deep sky — the full A–Z app list.
The ask the sky button
What it is. A ✦ button in the top-right that opens ask the sky — the launcher's built-in AI assistant.
Behavior. Off by default. Its switch is Settings › system › show ✦ ask the sky corner button. By default the button appears only while a ring is open. A sub-toggle beneath it, "↳ always on", keeps it visible at all times instead — it only appears once the button itself is on. The whole control is hidden if you've turned the AI off.
The shuttle button
What it is. A 🚀 button in the top-right, just right of the ask button, that opens the shuttle — the suite's shared tray for passing things between Zenith apps — as a panel that slides in from the right edge.
Behavior. Off by default, and independent of the ask button. Unlike the ask button, it stays available when the AI is off. Its switch is Settings › system › show 🚀 shuttle corner button, with its own "↳ always on" sub-toggle beneath it. By default it shows only while a ring is open. Tap it to open the shuttle, or during a hold-and-slide, glide onto it and lift to fire it.
Both top-right buttons
A second finger. While you hold a ring open, a second finger on ✦ or 🚀 fires that button and folds the ring.
In tap mode. If the "suite" section of Settings › system has "navigation" set to "tap" — "tap = tap to open, tap to pick (latched)" — the ✦ and 🚀 buttons also show at rest, so you can tap them. That setting changes every Zenith app.
