Question Pixel 6 Pro - Adding bookmarks to homescreen - Google Pixel 6 Pro

Forgive my ignorance...it's been a long time since my rooting/custom ROM days.
I have no option in Chrome to "Add to Homescreen" How do I add bookmarks to my Homescreen folders, since they do not copy?

You can add a Chrome bookmark widget to the home screen, but this will have all your bookmarks. You can also an individual pages to the home screen. Not sure if you can add individual bookmarks to the home screen though.

No,that was not what I wanted. Just as easy opening Chrome and hitting Bookmarks!

You don't have this option in the 3 dots menu?

Changing a widget?

This is one of the screens on my homescreen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see at the bottom in the dock, the text are zooper widgets that simply switch to the specific page in the nova launcher.
However, I want there to be some kind of indication that I am on the relevant page after clicking it, is there any way I can achieve this?
I was hoping there would be some kind of 'onclick' action that would let me switch the page AND change the font colour or something.
Also, when I press them, the text doesn't highlight like when I select any item on the desktop (icons etc). Is there any way to change this?
Thanks in advance.
This zooper widgets arent static there is a set of them on every page. So you can edit the widget on the specific page to show an indicator. Change the font or make a button just what u want.

[Q] email widget for "unseen" emails?

I just switched from windows phone to the lg g3. So far I am loving the switch. My only remaining issue is that windows phone had a feature where if you glanced at your inbox it would clear the "count" on the widget. As far as I can tell all of the android email widgets only show unread messages. This doesn't work for me as well.
Can anyone point me at a widget that behaves similar to the windows phone widget? Basically is shows the count of messages that have come in since the last time email was checked.
I still manage read/unread on the desktop.. but for mobile device this is sure a nice feature.
If you are willing to use nova launcher then you can install tesla unread settings which will provide you unread counters on the corresponding icon. That's what I use and I love it. Here's a screenie:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Mystery app

My buddy just got a GS3 used. He said he factory reset it. There is a weird side swipe drawer that holds app shortcuts. I can't figure out where it came from or what is putting there. Any ideas? I've attached screenshots of it closed and open.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That looks like multi window.
It's multi-window and standard on most later Samsung Rom's. Press and hold the back arrow key to make it hide and come back. it lets you have two apps open at once. open an app from the shortcut or any app, then open the bar at the side, and hold and drag and app to the right. your screen will split into two and you can have two apps open at the same time.
open some apps work with, but with xposed and some modules, you can add pretty much any app to the list.
That was it exactly! Thanks!

Anyone know what these markings are?

Everytime I go to my launcher these pop up for a couple of seconds then disappear. Curious what they actually are as I've never noticed then up until recently after updating and doing a factory reset.

what launcher are you using? could be some setting regarding the lock screen placeholder for app shortcuts etc.

You are using a kind of layer on top of the default launcher (kind of like KWGT walpaper) uses to create interactive objects on the main screen, and those are remnants of the default placeholders for Phone and messages or whatever the defaults you had set on your phone.
Those are the Google assistant triggers indication, as you've mentioned, they'll disappear after a while

You mean this?
How to get the Google weather app on your phone
The Google weather app isn't listed on the Play Store, but you can still get it on your home screen with just a few taps. Here's how!
www.androidauthority.com
Exactly. But it is now somehow different and can't do it.
It shows the weather forecast (but without frog and looks different). It also doesn't show "Three dots" in my case and can't choose "Add to home screen".
That was the reason for asking.
