I’m very interesting in this launcher but I see a lot of working come over me to manage the launcher.

First of all my question, how is it posible to get more themes ? or Templates ?

For help I would be very happy. LG Marc

Quick and dirty 9patch addition… Upper left buttons. The little space turns green when selected, like when you lock caps on the keyboard…

I use shortcuts to screen and position a lot. Would it be possible to add an option to disable “slide” animation so the transition would be instantaneous?

While in a folder, gestures from home screen still work. Is it a bug or a feature? (the former for me)

Fourth 8.7 beta

Fourth 8.7 beta

Oh well, I thought the previous beta was the last one, but I made so many changes that I prefer to publish one more.

Don’t be afraid, I didn’t break everything – I hope 😉 But a particular bug required some important architecture changes, and also I added support for nine patch. This needs some experimentation before to be thrown into the wild.

Wondering what is a nine patch ? More infos here : http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#nine-patch

More precisely those nine patches will allow this kind of effect:

– way better item selection effect (not a square anymore, but more complex shape/style is possible, such as button style items

– shadows

– rounded corner

– custom borders

In LL, nine patches can be configured in the box section. This applies to both items and folders window. Please read the doc first (long tap on the setting), I put a link to sample nine patches here.

Using nine patches is not, from far, the easiest to do. But this is so great that “_insane or not, it had to be done_” 😉

How about sharing template/APK by a desktop?

How about sharing template/APK by a desktop?

Currently, we can export selected desktops into APK, but we can’t import some desktops by selection.

In other words, we must APPLY/or import entire desktops provided by template/APK.

I am using 3 independent desktops, and if I meet some nice, beatiful, or experimental template/desktop/APK, I have to give up my current desktops. I have no method to add/combine new theme/template/APK into my current one.

I think this prevents freely creating/sharing templates becuase I have to give up mine.

Like I can select some desktops to export/share, Id like to be able to merge new desktop/theme into my current desktops.

Don’t forget we(LLX user?) can have 100 desktops 🙂
