Description

Add an option that allows the number of apps linked to in the topbar to vary dynamically with the available screen space.

Benefits

I have placed the most important apps in the topbar for quick access. However, on larger devices such as my 7" phone I can easily fit 3-4 apps, whereas smaller devices might only fit two - or actually one, since the other ones get hidden in the "..."-menu.

This "..."-menu seems utterly superfluous, seeing as there already is another menu that can be used for overflowing apps: the clickable sidebar menu.

More informations

This would allow one to, on desktops and tablets, display almost all apps in the topbar, which saves the user a click. On mobile devices, only the most important apps, sorted to the front, would be here while the rest are a click away.

Owner

Each menu (the main top menu and the side menu) is independent. There is no technical communication between them. The main top menu is a light override of Nextcloud’s standard menu. This request cannot be handled easily.
