Feature Request: Taskbar Transparency / Floating Taskbar

Maybe I don't know how to do this.

Is there anyway to make the taskbar transparent? Or blurred? I think this would be a really attractive feature.

On my S9U tablet, it can make it a bit distracting having a big black bar alongside the bottom of my screen taking up space. Something more attractive might be including a floating taskbar.

If there was an option to have a floating, transparent/blurred taskbar, I would be blown away and I think that would attract many users to the galaxy tablets.

Like a floating pill bubble.

I think this would be a feature that would make a lot more people buy Samsung tablets.

When I was looking at it in a store yesterday, I noticed the task bar retracted when not in use. There must be a setting for hide task bar. I'm used to an always on taskbar on my computer, so it wouldn't really bother me on a tablet.

If you long press on the task where you have the arrows, you can hide the Taskbar. You can also turn off the gesture hints by going to display settings, navigation.

Hey @Robin621k does the tablet rotate to portrait mode? In the store, I guess they had the settings to not rotate. I wouldn't spend that much money for a tablet if I can only use it in landscape.

Yes, you can rotate it into portrait mode. This is how I mostly use my tablet.
