Feature Request: Add Option for a Second Column in App Drawer (Especially for Tablets) #9

Description:
Currently, the app drawer in burrow displays apps in a single column. On tablets (e.g., eInk tablets), there is often enough horizontal space to accommodate a second column. Adding this feature would eliminate unnecessary scrolling and improve usability.

Proposed Solution:

  • Introduce a setting to enable a two-column layout for the app drawer.
  • Allow users to toggle between 1 column or 2 columns in the app settings.
  • Ensure the layout is responsive, automatically enabling two columns on larger screens (e.g., tablets) while remaining optional for smaller devices.

Rationale:

  • Tablets with wider screens underutilize available space in single-column mode (see attached picture of my onyx boox page).

Image

  • A two-column layout would improve navigation efficiency by reducing the need to scroll.

Example:

  • Current:
    [App 1]
    [App 2]
    [App 3]
    ...
    
  • Proposed:
    [App 1] [App 4]
    [App 2] [App 5]
    [App 3] [App 6]
    ...
    

Additional Notes:

  • If feasible, the number of columns could dynamically adjust based on screen size.
  • Ensure readability and usability are maintained on smaller devices.
