Layout & size
settings › "layout & size" sets how big the bloom is — the rings of your tasks that open where you touch — how the sky is shown, and the sky's regions.
Top to bottom
| row | what it does | to start | range or choices |
|---|---|---|---|
| "bloom size" | how far the rings reach from your finger | 150 dp | 80–900 dp |
| "node size" | how big each node and star is drawn | 26 dp | 14–160 dp |
| "view" | bloom · matrix · list. The matrix is Gold (Gold) | bloom | three |
| "full bloom" | show every path at once | off | on · off |
| "labels" | when a task's name shows | hover | off · hover · always |
| "label sits" | the name above or below its star | above | above · below |
| "priority only" | hide everything that isn't a priority | off | on · off |
| "corner hint" | the faint "hold to open a bloom" line at the bottom | on | on · off |
| "immersion mode" | hides the status bar and the navigation bar while you're in tasks | off | on · off |
| "dock buttons" | add · details · edit · move · remove, beside the bloom | on | on · off |
The heading over the first two reads "size — go big, it's space".
Then "regions — this sky": "regions: N" and "edit region layout" open the region editor, and with more than one region, a name box for each. More than 2 regions is Gold. Back from the region editor — "done ✦", "cancel" or the back gesture — returns you to this page. See Regions.
Immersion mode
On, the status bar and the navigation bar hide while you're in Tasks, so the sky fills the whole screen — on the sky and on every sheet and window Tasks opens over it.
- A swipe in from the edge of the screen shows the bars for a moment, so you can still pull down notifications or go home. They hide again on their own.
- Switching it off shows the bars again, at once, without leaving the page.
Labels
A label is a task's name written beside its star.
- "off" — no names.
- "hover" — only the star under your finger.
- "always" — every name.
The viewer panel's "labels always on" switches between "always" and "hover".
With "above", a name with no room at the top of the screen drops below. With "magnifier" on, the label moves out to clear the bigger star.
If the Zenith suite shares a label placement, Tasks takes it each time it starts, over your own choice.
Label size and font are on Text — font & sizes and Ease.
