I described my ideas in the images that I will send. I don't know if it would be possible, but it would be great to have these features.

We've done a rework over the multitasking system.

Maximized window now occupies more space.
You can move the title bar to the bottom to leave more space to the app.
You can drag the dock right to hide it, so it won't take too much space and will be less distractive.
Please be aware that due to iOS's restrictions we cannot detect where you tap inside the app, so you will lose control of the app if the top bar is hidden.
We hope these changes meet your needs.

First, I would like to thank you guys for this amazing app and for taking my feedback into account. I hope I'm not being annoying, but I have some more feedback on the new version --btw amazing changes!

In the images, I have again explained what I would like to see in the multitasking menu. If it's not possible, I apologise in advance for repeating myself. Here is a summary of what I meant in the pictures:

The top should be connected or synced with the arrow toggle button. When you press the button to toggle the arrow to transparent mode, you can turn off or hide the top until you press the toggle again. Both will then appear at the same time when you toggle it back on. This way, nothing is removed and both are still kept there.
The '3 Action Function'.
I didn't explain this in the picture, but I will here. If everything here is possible, make it so that when I'm watching a video in full-screen mode, the toggle becomes more transparent or hides. The toggle will appear when you leave full-screen mode, and will be transparent by default.
I don't know if it's possible, but when I switch the app to shared mode, I can't find the folder anymore. I would like to be able to add things like audio files to the shared app because that app doesn't have the function to choose from the files. So it would be nice to have a setting somewhere where you can still manage the files from the shared apps.

1.3. pull requests are welcome
2. It's a dock which allows you to switch between apps and yes it's designed so you can still interact with it even when it's in transparent mode. Add the 3 actions you requested will need a rework so no
4. No, it's an iOS limit. And yes you can implement a file explorer inside lc or install some file manager apps to manage shared files. But again, pull requests are welcome

1 has been implemented. Please note that we only did bare minimum for this, so there is no animation/transition (this is probably another private API we have yet to explore) and it works better with bottom window bar enabled.

You guys are the GOATS, it works almost perfectly.
I say almost cuz I found a bug in a way Steps to do it:
Open an app in multitask-> Then minimize it (yellow button) -> Click on the arrow so its closes -> Then open another app in multitask that app does not have the 3 buttons (green yellow red buttons). Important point, the apps are not in full screen mode (green button).

EDIT:

Just forgot, i still haven't figured out how to implement a file explorer inside LC cuz i want to manage the files from shared apps. So for example, i use an app for editing and i want to move an audio file to a folder that i have access to in the app, but i cannot browse the file in the app because it does not have the option to browse in my files. And for an aplication that has the annoying pop up with update to the newest version and i found this on Reddit " Using Filza, navigate to var/container/bundle/applications and find the app folder. Open it up and open info.plist -> From there look for CFBundleShortVersionString, change the number to something much higher than the latest version and save. " and I would like to try that. So if you guys know how I can use Filza to access the other containers, that would be nice.
