Love paranoid and the direction you are taking.
A feature that I belive many users would benefit from is gesture control when in immersive mode.
For example I am browsing on chrome in immersive mode and I want to access the quick setting tiles in order to change my connection from 3g to wifi. I pull my finger down from the top of the screen to show the notification bar and then repeat to open the quick settings shade. But what's this oh no I have closed the page I was browsing. (This can happen)
My solution to this is a gesture from the side of the screen dragging my finger in a downward arch with a flick at the end to bring down the shade.
Please bring this feature it will really assist with the usability of immersive mode.
this would be similar to Alt+Tab on a PC - except you'd swipe left and right on the floating window... maybe add a top bar to the floating window so as to not conflict with apps that require left/right swipe to open menus, and then swipe that top bar.
i think that'd make the floating window mode 10x more useful than it's current iteration where it's a one time, one way operation.
another related function would be from this advanced floating window mode, as you're cycling through apps, users could then swipe up or down to close that particular app, thus removing it from the cycle.
Works on Android 4.0.X - 6.0.X

Working also on 5.1 (CM-12.1, LP-5.1.1). In fact, working so well that I want to make a gift donation @refgd
Note - After checking-in SkyolinHelper under Module section of Xposed, and then doing Soft Reboot under Framework section, my device got stuck bootlooping. But long press on Power Button brought full functionality fairly fast.
Floating button doesn't disappear, although i ticked the option.

Works for me. Floating button was there at first, but gone after I went through all settings.
Hi.The module works without issue.But I have a feature request. I know on xhalo floating windows you was able to move the floating windows and from corner to resize that window.Is possible in the next future to add this options? Thank you!
OP, thanks for this module. Is it possible that instead of defining which apps open in floating mode, we can set all apps to open in floating mode through the floating button, much like PA's Halo? Much appreciated, thanks.

Nice work [emoji106]
Need some more tweaks like "remember Movable & Resizable settings" if app closed and a option to hide the title bar. Add drag & drop from another corner like xhalo

I got stuck at the bootscreen. I long pressed power button, volume up and got it booted up. It works but it's inconvenient. It'd be nice if you could fix it.
Um...
This is good app but I want to run application windowed mode by 'only' Skyolin App launch box.
(Normally open app in app drawer,
but Windowed mode by Skyolin App launch box.)
And I want to open Skyolin App launch box by shortcut. Not only floating icon.
Support please.
Then will be more perfect!
does this work for 6.0? bootloop is all I get here on CandySIX.
Is this mod working on cm roms, example aicp rom 6.01

If you disable "Force Floating", it will only run in windowed mode by opened from the floating button.
If you enable "Force Floating", it will run in windowed mode by opened from anywhere.
Thanks! Where did the module name come from?

I want to disable the notification shade entirely as its very irritating mid game. sometimes even pulls down the whole notification area since I use claw many buttons near the top of screen.
google only give solutions to disable notifications not the bar itself.
im currently unrooted and on stock rom don't mind unlocking and flashing if necessary.
I use full screen mode with gestures not buttons like shown in screenshot, enabled for getting using screenshot shortcut only (by long press back button)
