Changelog

Mur 1.3.0

New

  • Gestures for everything — Every gesture is now something you assign. Swipe in any direction, double tap, long press, press home while already home, swipe with two fingers, or pinch in and out — and point it at a page, an action, or an app. Actions include notifications, the quick settings panel, recent apps, the power menu, lock screen, the voice assistant, the flashlight, edit mode and Mur settings. You can also open a specific app shortcut, not just the app. Lock screen, recent apps and the power menu ask for the Accessibility Service the first time you assign them — Mur uses it only to perform the action you triggered.
  • Home indicator — Keep the page dots, or swap them for a pill above the dock. The pill is a gesture slot of its own, so a tap on it can do whatever you like.
  • Widget pages — A whole page for widgets, stacked in the order you set. Pick from a searchable list, drag to reorder, and edit the page whenever.
  • Per-tile colors (Premium) — Give a single tile its own color instead of your theme's, or let it follow the app's icon color. It sits next to per-tile shapes in the tile's appearance sheet.
  • Quick appearance — Recolor and re-theme from the home screen itself. Assign it to a gesture and change how Mur looks without going into settings.
  • Theme Studio on desktop — Build a theme on a big screen, with every color, shape and font side by side. Send yourself the link from the theme editor and pick it up on your computer.
  • Per screen state (Experimental) — Keep a separate layout for each state your phone can be in: folded, unfolded, portrait and landscape. Each one remembers its own arrangement.

Other improvements

  • Edit mode rebuilt — drop a tile on the remove bar to take it off the grid, instead of hunting for a badge on the tile.
  • Steadier drag and drop — reordering, dragging past the edge to the next page, and dropping into folders all hold together, including tiles dragged out of the app library.
  • Foldable and tablet layouts fixed — no more empty home screen on tablets, and layout scale behaves across screen sizes.
  • Settings reorganised into Display, System, Privacy and Mur, with Pages & Gestures in one place — plus a new About screen.
  • Faster cold start, and fixes for several crashes and freezes.

Fixed

  • Widgets on the second screen — widgets sitting on the right-hand side of an unfolded or dual-screen layout could stay blank until you nudged the page. They draw straight away now.
  • Icon colours after a wallpaper change — swapping your wallpaper now recolours icons right away instead of leaving the old colours behind.
  • Resizing tiles and widgets — dragging the corner of a small tile used to open its options instead of resizing it. The corner now belongs to the resize handle, its touch area reaches past the tile edge so it is easier to catch, and a sideways drag no longer slides you into the next page.
