9 patch resources
9 patch resources
Since Nov, 2013 LLX has supported the use of 9 patch images as backgrounds for icons, folders and panels.
A 9 patch is simply a special .png graphic with stretchable area(s), defined by 1 pixel black lines. It will be automatically resized to contain anything from nothing at all, all the way up to an entire panel or folder window.

You can use Photoshop to create or edit a 9 patch image, but these must then be compiled for use in LLX. One way to do this directly on your device is with AIDE (paid version) from Play Store.
Simpler way is to use 9 Patch Editor (in the Play Store). It can save your image in a compiled form.

Once you have the compiled 9 patch image somewhere on your device, just select Customize for your icon, panel or folder, and under the Box tab, tap Normal background image and select the file. You can use the same or different file for Selected background image so for instance an icon “button” can appear to be pushed in when tapped.

Messing around with sliding panels on both sides, as a demo for someone, and came up with this.
Theme inspired by the Moto X with the bamboo back.
-2 panels on the left side for widgets
-1 scrolling sidebar on the right for apps
-1 top bar type panel at top for notifications, weather battery, whatever
-Various folders down right hand side
Icons are from the Tiny White package. Glass icon backgrounds are from Glass Frame icon pack. Just used the background, and changed the corner “mounts” from silver to gold in PS.
Calls, texts and emails are shown on the appropriate dock icon, in addition to the top notification panel.
All panels return to “home” position, by hitting Home button and side panels slide open by long press all apps icon, via +TrianguloY Multi-container Bookmark script. (I love that script and use it all the time… so simple!)
