I’m having trouble with something.
I’m having trouble with something. Previously I used Apex for my launcher. I had it set so that swiping down on the screen, any screen, pulled down the full notification tray. I don’t know how to do that in LL.
I went to Desktop settings > Gestures > Swipe Down > expand notifications tray
It still won’t pull it down. Any help?
I’ve included two screenshots of what I want it to do..

Made a very quick short tutorial for all my fellow noobs.
Because I cannot script myself and was looking for a tutorial for this.
Recently, I visited my Googel developer page and found my Windows template’s download count is about 10 thousands.
Recently, I visited my Googel developer page and found my Windows template’s download count is about 10 thousands. I got a shock because 10,000 is too BIG number to me 🙂 When I uploaded it, I didnt anticipate it at all. I know download-count is not equal to real use-count, which is very low. I can’t help but admit that I’m not using it as main homescreen. 🙂 My main thing is very simple.
In playstore, not a few Windows related templates are there. But I think they are just a bundle of icons, because their launchers have no power like LL :).
Anyway, so I made a step-by-step video which is absolutely for LL novice users.I hope this video helps for those not familiar with LL.
Using the excellent template created by Lutz Linke “Companion” we can change the scenes with Tasker .

Here is the task
Casa
Set Variable % MODE to Home
Set Volume Notification 6
Set Icon Tasker to ” … “
…
…
( what you want )
( here is the important) + > Plugins > Lightning Launcher (Configuration : Run a Script> “ChooseScene” > Pass these data to the script: %MODE)
Here is the script “ChooseScene”
LL.runScript(“Cmpn_SceneLoad”,LL.getEvent().getData());
For different contexts can create different task to call different scenes created in the excellent template by Lutz Linke
Its work for me.
I have diferent Mode (Casa,Trabajo,Calle) and change in diferent context. When change the Mode, set the variable %MODO with the name of the scene and then pass to LLX. It has great potential!
Enjoy!
Hi, I am quiet new in using this launcher. I find it exciting and a worthy reason not to buy an IPhone…

Maybe is just a silly question, I’d like to know if it is possible to name a desktop and to create a shortcut that is linked to the desktop trough the name.
The idea is to create a navigation menu trough different desktops.
Thanks
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.
More info
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#nine-patch
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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.denley.android.ninepatch
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.
Some I have collected to get you started (zip archive)
