Just to elaborate on what's already been said - your initial mail was correct, the search-bar (rocketbar) is part of the system and not part of the home screen. Previously it was due to technical/time constraints, but the new home screen's design doesn't require it.
To keep it expanded, we just make sure that the home screen's body never has scrollable overflow on the vertical axis (overflow-y: hidden, height: 100%). The rocketbar only collapses when the body of the document inside it is scrollable. We have also fixed a few bugs that caused it to be incorrectly collapsed, so you should be able to rely on this behaviour. You're also correct about the wallpaper - this is another element that is controlled by the system and requires certified permissions. You would be able to change this with a System app add-on, or if your application was certified, by changing the setting. As for home screen apps in the marketplace, I believe they're gearing up now to be able to handle home screen submissions, and this should be ready at, or in very close proximity to the launch of 2.5. As you would have seen already, the default home screen is a privileged app, so we aren't doing anything there that can't be done by a marketplace application :) Cheers, --Chris On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 9:31 AM, Michael Henretty <[email protected]> wrote: > Correct Eddie, in the old vertical homescreen we had a "mini-rocketbar" > that was kept in that app itself.
