[Android Apps and Games] dapaua:
I present here a new app. WidgetShade Free!

★With WidgetShade you can have your widgets always on hand. Just use the "+" button , or long press any empty space to add a widget. WidgetShade can be called at any moment and will show as an overlay over your active application.

To call WidgetShade you have three options.

-Tap the app icon.

-Tap the notification in the notification bar (can be disabled)

-Use the trigger area (can be disabled)

The trigger area is a white and blue zone that by default appears at the bottom right of your screen, but it can be configured. Tap it or slide your finger over it to activate WidgetShade. In the application settings, you can change the position and size of the trigger area, its visibility, or completely disable it.

IMPORTANT

To avoid android from closing WidgetShade when it runs out of memory, you have two options.

-Enable "Show notification" in the options ; or

-Go to Android Settings, then to Accessibility and enable WidgetShade

Enabling the accessibility service will prevent WidgetShade from being closed. It will not access any personal information, even if the standard android warning says that it may do that.

Widgets shown in the screenshots: Digical, Elixir2, Eye in the sky, retroClock, Gmail, and Top Contacts. These are independent applications, downloadable from the Play Store and I am not related to them in any way.

I will publish this on the Play Store this week, but I wanted to offer it here first. The PRO version will have extra features (extra pages, button bar can be hidden and configurable background opacity).

Please send feedback!

Get it on the Play Store!
