V14.2b1 beta
New in this beta version : support for SVG images 🙂
Well, not the full SVG specification, which is a giant beast, but a lean and mean subset which will allow loading quite a few images anyway.
The list of supported SVG features is available here http://www.lightninglauncher.com/wiki/doku.php?id=images
But maybe the fun part is not in the SVG images themselves, but in the fact they can be altered using scripts and bindings. I hope this will be an entertaining tool to build dynamic elements!
Please note this is a work in progress. V14.2b1 already contains most important features, but script APIs are somewhat basic, some other are missing. I’m waiting for your feedback to judge whether those missing parts are worth of interest or not. That means: if you think that something is missing or not working, don’t hesitate to let me know.
Beta APIs can be found here: http://www.lightninglauncher.com/scripting/reference/api-beta/
Have fun!
]]>V14.1.5 Bug fixes (no V14.1.4)
Just a handful of bug fixes, the most important one being a fix for nine patches on Android 7+.
I hope to release a new beta soon with support for vector images. But more on that later…

Just a quick update with the following issues resolved:
– Fix multiple app add from app drawer when these apps are in folders
– Fix a crash when trying to edit folder settings of a app drawer folder linked on a desktop
– Fix a bug that could happen while using the close all folders action in the app startup event

Online with bug fixes and the new action configuration screen!
And to celebrate Christmas, the app is 50% off for a limited time, hurry up and spread the word 🙂
As I’ll be partly offline for a few days it’s time for me to wish you all a merry Christmas, with family and friends.
Cheers!

]]>V14.1b1 beta
A quick update to let you know that a new 14.1b1 beta version is coming.
It contains a few new features related to events and actions. In short it is now possible to configure several actions for a single event, without the need for a script.
While the feature is mostly complete, there are areas where the behavior need to be tuned. I am thinking at a particular case: when chaining actions like “go to previous desktop, then zoom full scale”, it won’t work as expected because all actions are currently started using the context found at the time of the event. Hence the zoom fullscale action will operate on the initial desktop, not the previous desktop. I am currently trying to improve this.
Other than that I hope it will work just fine and that it will help in setting up interesting things.

]]>Here we go, Lightning V14 is online and no more a beta!
It has been a long road since V12, and I am really, really glad this milestone has finally been reached. There has been times where I wondered whether this would eventually happen.
A large credit goes to alpha and beta testers, this app is so large that I’m unable to test everything. Your help is invaluable.
Thanks !

Lightning Launcher V14
After several months of work and alpha/beta testing, I am proud to announce Lightning Launcher V14!
This is a big step forward, with many improvements, great new features and a huge overhaul of the internal architecture.
Under the hood, the new architecture will deliver more performance and more stability. But before all, it is designed to offer strong foundations for future evolutions, because the mobile world is itself constantly evolving.
This is an invisible change, but some other new features are much more prominent:
• Lightning offers a new object type: plugins. Think at plugins like “lightweight widgets”. These are ready to use, custom components that you can add to your home screen. When adding a new item, swipe to the plugins tab and select a plugin to create one. Since plugins are based on scripts, they can do pretty great things, and plus, they can be customized. As the list of existing plugins grows, you can expect great stuff from them.
• Thanks to the new architecture, Lightning can now be used as a custom Live Wallpaper. You can put a desktop as your Android background, with all Lightning capabilities, including scrolling panels, scripts and full support for widgets. This feature is a paid one in order to support the app’s development.
• For users of Android 7.1, Lightning brings the App Shortcuts functionnality as a standard action, so that you can easily link it to your prefered gesture (long press, swipe, or anything else). To pin a shortcut, long press, then drag and drop it on the desktop.
• V14 also comes with various improvements, such as a faster app drawer startup. On the script side, the engine received a myriad of new features, allowing to write easier and better code, as well as allowing a deeper integration with the launcher, thanks to customizable popup menus for instance.
I hope you’ll like this new version. As always don’t hesitate to report bugs or suggest a feature.
Enjoy!
