How to customize the app's title bar and side menu (alignment, name, icons)

Customizing the title bar means adjusting its alignment (left or right), the custom name displayed, and the side menu's behavior, including the icon background. In Jestor, this includes a "magnetic" side menu that expands on hover and collapses on its own.

The problem with a fixed title bar

A title bar that's always aligned to the same side and always repeats the app's default name limits anyone who wants to give each part of the system its own identity or gain more screen space.

Alignment: left or right, based on preference.
Custom name: different from the app's default name.
Screen space: a blank name frees up room for content.
Magnetic menu: expands on hover, collapses when not in use.

How to customize the title bar in Jestor

Choose the alignment: left or right, in the app settings.
Customize the displayed name: instead of repeating the app's default name.
Leave the name blank: to gain more screen space, aligned to the left.
Adjust the side menu: show or hide the colored icon background.

How to configure it in Jestor: for maximum screen space, align the bar to the left and leave the name field empty — the side menu remains accessible through its magnetic behavior on hover.

How to make app icons in the side menu show up with no background color for a minimalist look?

In Jestor's side menu, you can turn off the colored background behind app icons, leaving only the icon visible — a more minimalist look for anyone who prefers a cleaner menu. Why does removing the icon background change the menu experience? By default, every app icon in the side

Can a blurred background be used in a form to keep a background image readable?

Yes. Among Jestor's form style options is a blur option for the background: when there's an image behind the form, the blur softens that image to improve the readability of the content, while keeping the image visible behind it. Why does a background image without blur
