FAQ's
Q: The search bar won't open Google search.
A: Please make sure you have the Google app installed and updated.
Q: When i rotate my phone/tablet into landscape mode, the search bar shrinks.
A: Add the widget as you would normally in portrait mode. Rotate your device and then expand the widget in the UP/DOWN direction. This should allow the widget to scale correctly. For further precision, you can now adjust the scaling in the LEFT/RIGHT direction.
Q: Will the search bar not auto-scale when switching from portrait to landscape and vice versa?
A: Unfortunately no and this is a limitation of Zooper widget.
Q: The search bar is too small on my phone.
A: Go to Zooper and select "configure widgets". Choose the search bar you wish to edit and go down to "Scaling". Make sure the scaling value is set to 100. Then go back to your homescreen and scale the widget as you would with any other.
Q: The search bar doesn't work/look right on my tablet.
A: Search bar M is not currently designed for tablets but will be soon!
Q: How do I add a custom colour?
A: Add any of the included search bars as usual. Then:
Zooper widget pro > configure widgets >widget(whatever number you wish to edit) > layout > bar > color
Q: How do I remove the Say "Ok Google" text?
A: Add any of the included search bars as usual. Then:
Zooper widget pro > configure widgets >widget(whatever number you wish to edit) > layout
Then select "Text" and delete using the bin icon at the top.

Love it! But how do I fix landscape mode? It just shrinks when I flip over my phone. Please add support to tablets too. This is by far the best Google app search bar I have found on the play store, but only lacks these issues. Thank you
Only the microphone works. I can't do a normal search it doesn't work.
No issues
