customize drawer height

the height of drawer is by default the height of the screen and can't be ajusted. since mobilephones usually have a long size nowdays, a shorter height can be more convenient for use, I think.

Of course you can adjust height, width, etc programmatically in Macrodroid specific > Macrodroid drawer...

what do you mean "Macrodroid specific", I can find option to set swipe area height, width, etc from Home > Macrodroid drawer(as image shown above). but only see the option to set color and textsize of drawler.

It's the reason why I included it in a macro running at boot time. If you do!'t switch off your device every day, you can use a time based trigger to refresh these parameters if necessary.

You may not get what I said. What Macrodroid specific> Macrodroid drawer can do is similiar to Home>Macrodroid drawer. But neither of them can change the height of the expanded drawer.

As far as I understand your main point here is that it's hard for you to reach the items in top of the sidebar with your thumb. I might have a simple solution for you. Add a few texts with just a spacebar to the top of your sidebar a disable the icon on them. This will create an empty space on top of your sidebar, move other items down and make it easyer to reach by thumb.

Yes, it's actually a way to solve the problem. I will have a try while still wait this function to come out. Thanks.

Sorry, you're right. I did read too fast and didn't get that you were speaking about the expanded drawer instead of the area to open it.
