I like the large search box in the taskbar. I often use it to launch applications, and it provides a much larger touchscreen target for tapping on it.
However, there are some situations in which I'm running a lot of applications, and the search box just takes up space, leaving a really tiny space for all of those applications:
There is an option to collapse the search box into a button, which makes much more space for applications, but then I have to let go of the advantages above. It's also completely manual, so I have to change the setting every single time. Here's how it looks like:
Is there a way I can automatically collapse the search box into a button when there are a lot of applications running such that the buttons will be pushed together, and show it when there are few enough applications that they have enough space to not be pushed together?
