mc_kibel, As I have already said that I am not an idiot, and the settings in bcfg were made as the location after installing the new version of an elf, I'll use the old version 3.25.

Thank you !

I didn't tell / write that you're an idiot, I saw a million of stupid questions and I need to consider every option

Anyway I checked v3.31 on K770, no problem with showing/hiding. I have no idea why this happened to you.

 

и ещё можно исправить скрытие панели. она передвигается гдето на 50 и остоновка?

Patcher/Elfmaker

 

Punchaleksey - can you test it once again, please? I think I fixed the problem, I just need a confirmation I attached new 3.31 in first post.

mc_kibel, on W715 works fine, but there are problems:
a random phone reboots.
Show/hide direction - Left - not all elements of the deskbar removed.

Уже версия 3.31 , а лог не обновляется :( Поделитесь же с людми списком изменений наконец.
ЗЫ Оромное спасибо за эльф

Patcher/Elfmaker

 

Random reboots... Hmm I think it can be only library problem, I never had a restart with this elf.
There are problems with hiding horizontal skins to the left - I tried to fix that, but as you can see, without result.
