What’s next?
You already understand that GravotyBox provides the nice sets of control that help us to change size, location, color and more of the Pie controls tool. You have to place the control access to the edge of the device. Tie it to the center to prevent accidental triggers. You have to make sure to change the click behavior. Eventually you are prepared to add even more controls to the pie control tool. Then play with the long press actions. I have configured long press on the back button in the pie control. May be there will need another tool to control your main system.
