Hybrid Properties – DPI / Layout / Colors

Settings / Hybrid Properties / (swipe right)

Interface – Here you can define your workspace layout and assign global properties (Phone UI / Phablet UI / Tablet UI).

Apps that have been set up manually will override global properties. These are simply preset options available to the user as a base.

Apps – Define individual properties to customize how the app displays. These settings apply only to the selected app.

Lock Screen - The lock screen is controlled by the "Android System" app. Make changes to this app to control DPI, Layout and Color.

Apps - Size vs Layout

Size allows you to change the DPI of the selected app

Layout changes the outlook of the app by defining which screen size it should use (changes may be slight or drastic, this is up to the app)

When layout is adjusted, sometimes you may have to adjust the size to make sure items fit neatly.

Colors

Settings - Hybrid Properties - Interface - GLOBAL COLOR (enable)

For every app installed (system apps & user app) you can set individual colors for the status bar and navigation bar. This can be done globally or on a per app basis. In order to enable hybrid colors you MUST enable per app color

Color - Transparent Status bar/Navigation bar

Transparency for both the status bar an nav bar should be set only on the launcher (default launcher or installed launcher of choice). Setting transparency on some individual apps will return "garbage" as apps don't draw under the status and nav bar. It's best to set a solid color for the status bar or nav bar in individual apps.

Color - PIE Colors

PIE color is based on status icon color, navigation glow color and navigation button color.

Expert Mode – this gives you deeper control over the hybrid engine. Options included are overall DPI and UI settings and extra options per-app.

Once expert mode is selected, under the interface option you would now have access to the lockscreen slider and Global Apps control.

The lockscreen slider allows you to change the DPI of your lockscreen, while the global apps section allows you to change the settings for all system apps or user app at once.

On a per-app bases you now have an extra menu with three options when expert mode is enabled (Expand / Force / Large)

Expand – displays app in full screen mode

Force – force scaling through other hosts such as widgets

Large – Force app to display as though it were displaying for a large tablet

I think everyone pretty much understands Expand.

Force

In short, it allows widgets to succumb to hybrid properties.

Widgets depend on the launcher to define its size/layout parameters. So normally, even if you setup an app to follow a custom layout, the widget ignores these scaling values and uses its default settings as dictated by the launcher. Force allows you to override this system and the hybrid values of the app would be forced on to the widget.

Use this feature cautiously and enable it only if you need it.

Large

Sometimes, changing the layout of an app to Tablet UI isn't enough to actually change the layout of the app. For such apps, enable the large screen option to see the difference.

For some apps, enabling Large give it a whole new layout, additional to the available layout options.

Again, use this option only if needed.

Expanded Desktop Mode (Full Screen Pie Mode)

Long press the power button and select Full Screen (PIE) – this removes your status bar and navigation bar and activates the PIE controls. All screen real estate is utilized without stretching or distorting your homescreen.

The stock Paranoid Android launcher has the option to use a pinch gesture to toggle this mode.

There is also a quick setting PIE tile to toggle PIE mode

-	To activate PIE without activating Full Screen mode (PIE and status bar at the same time), you need to set your nav bar to 0%. Do this by going into

Settings -> Hybrid Properties -> (swipe right) -> Interface -> (slide nav bar to 0%).

Because the status bar is still visible, PIE will not show status information when activated like this as such information would be redundant.
