 +This topic covers the customization settings available for windows and folders to alter their behavior, appearance, and automation. 
 + 
 +The Window Options menu provides extensive control over pop-up windows and folders within the launcher environment. Configuring these settings allows for a highly tailored user interface, improving device navigation, aesthetic cohesion, and functional automation.</WRAP>

 +===== Accessing Window Settings ===== 
 +To configure a window or folder, follow the standard editing procedure: 
 +   - Enter edit mode on the launcher home screen. 
 +   - Select the target window or folder element. 
 +     - Select the gear icon {{:ui:ui-icon_option-v4.webp?direct&25}} (lower right corner) to open the configuration menu. 
 +     - Navigate to the ''OPTIONS'' tab at the bottom of the screen. 
 + 
 +===== Display and Layout Settings ===== 
 +These options dictate the physical appearance and screen positioning of the window. 
 +   * **Open alone:** - Closes all currently active windows and folders before opening the selected one. Maintains a clutter-free workspace and focuses the display on a single interface. 
 + 
 +   * **From bottom:** - Sets the window position to originate from the bottom of the screen. Facilitates the creation of modern bottom-sheet menus that are easily reachable for one-handed operation. 
 + 
 +   * **Full height:** - Expands the window to occupy the entire vertical space of the screen. Utilized for creating comprehensive app drawers or immersive custom dashboards. 
 + 
 +   * **Background:** - Defines the background color, Dynamic color, Icon pack, Shape, Image, or Dynamic image for the window. Here, color is represented by the hex value ''#FFFFD700''. Used to match the overall theme design of the launcher layout. 
 + 
 +   * **Fit background to window:** - Adjusts the assigned background image or color to fit exactly within the window boundaries, preventing visual overflow. 
 + 
 +   * **Show shadow:** - Applies a drop shadow effect around the exterior of the window. This adds visual depth and separates the active window from the underlying graphical elements. 
 + 
 +   * **Erase behind:** - Erases objects located behind the window or sliding drawer to reveal the system wallpaper through transparent areas. Allows for complex layering effects or custom mask cutouts. 
 + 
 +===== Interaction and Gestures ===== 
 +These settings modify how the window responds to touch inputs and system navigation commands. 
 +   * **Gesture to close:** - Configures a specific touch gesture, such as ''Swipe up'', to close the window. Provides fast, fluid navigation without requiring precise taps on a dedicated close button. Note that this requires a ''PRO'' license. 
 + 
 +   * **Ignore Back:** - Prevents the window from being closed using the system Back button or system navigation gesture. Utilized for creating persistent on-screen displays, mandatory menus, or kiosk-style locked interfaces. 
 + 
 +===== Automation and Actions ===== 
 +Automated actions can be triggered based on the window's lifecycle state. 
 +   * **Action on open:** - Selects an action to invoke automatically when the window opens. Utilized for launching supplementary applications, changing system settings, or triggering shortcut tasks simultaneously with the window launch. 
 + 
 +   * **Delay of action on open:** - Configures a specific delay, represented in milliseconds such as ''0ms'', before the open action triggers. Allows for sequencing entrance animations before a secondary action occurs. 
 + 
 +   * **Action on close:** - Selects an action to invoke automatically when the window is closed. Performs cleanup tasks or returns system settings to a previous state upon window dismissal. 
 + 
 +   * **Delay of action on close:** - Configures a delay, represented in milliseconds such as ''0ms'', before the close action triggers.  
 + 
 +===== Configuration Tabs ===== 
 +The bottom navigation bar allows switching between different configuration categories. 
 +   * **OPTIONS:** - Displays the main configuration settings menu for layout, behavior, and actions as detailed in this document. 
 + 
 +   * **ANIMATION:** - Accesses a separate menu to configure transition styles, speeds, and entrance or exit animations for the window.
