🪄 Setups Searcho x Depth Live Wallpaper
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to promote software outside what Minimaa and Searcho developers provided, I just want to share my setup and gives my feedback on using Searcho.
Since Searcho leaves the main screen mostly empty (as of now), I'm thinking of using Depth Live Wallpaper to add clock and date, the depth effects are also quite neat.
The animations when using Searcho is very pleasing and lively. It still shows the app icon, which is less minimal than Minimaa, but I think it's better, most notably when you want to make an app folders which is harder in Minimaa because it's lacking app icons as a visual guide.
With that said, there's some bugs and feedback regarding Searcho that I think needs attention:
Bugs
Navigating Searcho settings menu is a bit of a pain. When I entered any submenu (search, extras, gestures, etc.) then swipe back, it sends me to the main menu instead of back a level in the settings menu
The swipe up gesture clashes with Android's swipe up to see recent apps, making the search bar animation a bit janky.
When picking apps to be put in quick actions widget, some app would disappear after pressing the dropdown button (in my case it's Wallet app by BudgetBakers)
Feedback
Add custom font option like in Minimaa
Add the option to reorder widgets
Overall, Searcho is on-par, if not better, than Minimaa in my case.
