I guess so. that must have been an even older version then. do you mean radio buttons? I dont have a reference anymore since my phabricator is already updated.

I mean on the edit window from the old sidebar. You could set which application is shown in which type of tile.

yes. and the ability to assign them to the menu bar from that overview with the little headers. priorly, it was solved with a number of dropdowns, all on one page, wasnt it?

like I said, thats what I refer to afterwards, as a workaround.

I saw that settings -> home page panel, I know its there and I could use it, but I dont know what every application does off the top of my head, so Id have to reference back and forth which one was which. I guess you could say Im used to and was happy with the former version.

I find it much harder to customize and select the few apps that I need on the sidebar. Ive like.. switched to using /applications now to get what I want.
