Suggested Feature & Huge Thanks.

Suggested Feature & Huge Thanks.

First, I have to say that I’m a huge fan of Lightning Launcher. It’s rock solid reliable, looks great, and makes my phone as practical to use as I want it.  I went through just about every launcher in the App Store before settling on Lightning, and I love it.  It’s one of the few freebie apps that have inspired me to hit the donate button.

Two suggestions, and I apologize if either have been discussed (I did poke around a bit looking for these suggestions first.)

Practical Suggestion:  When adding items to a folder or desktop, would it be possible to select multiple items at once?  That would make setting things up much faster, and I have seen it implemented elsewhere.  An even better trick would be to add multiple direct dial/text shortcuts at once.  

Impractical, but Awesome:  Is there any way to use animated GIFs as icons on the desktop?  I already love showing off how gorgeous AND practical my homescreen is…  Tiny dancing icons would just blow people’s minds!

Thanks again for all your hard work Mr. Hébert!

Pierre Hébert  and others might be interested in th favorable bug you can see when i have th calander widget on screen.

i can a) swipe down to bring up th status bar and b) it is transparent, i asume it has something to do with th launcher…

th only setting i have ticked is hide th status bar

i do not have transparent status bar ticked

if i show/hide status bar with shortcut LL action it is not transparent

if i unhide status bar it is not transparent

if i enable transparent status bar it is not transparent

another one of those bugs you hope never gets fixed.

About 9patch:

About 9patch:

1) I think it would be better to show a message (a pop-up message or whatever) to say if the 9 patch was correctly set or not. Also, if it wasn’t set, why not. (If possible)

2) I would like to use the mobile to create 9 patch, but unfortunately on-line editors has problems with android browsers.

I found an android app (search 9patch, is the only one app) but unfortunately it only saves ‘uncompressed’ images (the ones with the black lines at the edges)

Does someone here know how to make a ‘compiled’ 9 patch image from a png file? Could the launcher do this? Thanks.

Question to beta testers : how does the latest beta work for you

Question to beta testers : how does the latest beta work for you ? Did you hit some big bug, or notice some dysfunction that would require a fix before the release ?

One thing is in particular is annoying me : Patrick and Bryan reported an issue with disappearing items. Has anyone else experienced this issue ?

“Injured thumb mode”

“Injured thumb mode”

When you hit th screen with your forehead everything becomes bigger more accessible and easier to use for when you have injured thumbs.

Would it be possible to support sensors in addition to gestures?

Would it be possible to support sensors in addition to gestures?

I’m thinking of the following:

– flick the device to the right: open the sidebar

– flick it to the left: sidebar closes

– flick it down: app drawer opens

I hope you get the idea. Would be AWESOME and one really unique feature (…not that LL already has gazillions of unique features…).

Hey gang, I have installed 4.4 factory image on my N4.

Hey gang, I have installed 4.4 factory image on my N4.

The wallpaper setting/cropping has changed in android system, it is no longer anchored to th centre but I think to th left. There is no grid tool any more it uses a full screen interface.

To centre an image for LL you line th centre of th image up with th right edge minus about 5mm. Then there is a slight shift with th first time app draw is opened. It is quite fiddly now trying to get an image in th centre of th LL homescreen.

Does th LLX wallpaper picker have cropping or do you still need to use an image that is exactly screen size?
