Rounded search bar widget
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The Widget UI is a bit old
Describe the solution you'd like Rounded corner for the search bar widget
Feedback would be welcome to know if there is a consensus about this enhancement proposal.
The Widget probably needs a lot more done to it.
Overall I'd like clarity on the usecase of it, the search looks like a textfield but you can't enter text into it. The point is quick access into search/favourites/voice search? This is better served by adding shortcuts to our app launcher
A good widget should be a portal of information/content not just links into the app
Agree with @macgills, we probably need here a global proposal for this widget before doing anything.
Actualy I don't have any proposal apart from the rounded corners.Let's see other's proposals.
The I guess my proposal is as follows:
Replace Widget with shortcuts
It limits us to 4 actions even though we can specify 5
Although you can publish up to five shortcuts (static and dynamic shortcuts combined) at a time for your app, most launchers can only display four.
I think we can get rid of Get Content
with the new navigation making it far more accessible. Leaks is only present on debug so I would ignore that. That leaves us with New Tab
, Search
, Favourites
, Voice Search
.
I might even get rid of voice search for History
as that feels more right to me if we are showing favourites as well

hello, I just wanna know that can I work on this issue?
@shivamparihar12 I don't think this task is ready for now to be implemented.
@kelson42 thanks for letting me know that.

hii is anyone working on this
@MohitMaliFtechiz @gouri-panda I'm not in favour of just fixing this small thing. Here we need to revamp this is I understand properly. To me either we close the ticket or someone propose a propoer/global plan regarding this widget.
@kelson42 @MohitMaliFtechiz I think I agree with the seàn's propose. But I don't like the idea to remove the History
in favour of Voice Search
.
Closing, ticket is too unclear. A real and complete proposal for the widget has to be made.
