Hello!
Feature request: Add an option for rounding the corners in the Box option settings.
I think I’ve found a bug in the latest beta.
If I set “2 fingers swipe down” to “Close all folders” then it works!
Can anyone reproduce this?

Testing out the new folder window alignment stuff (and fixing to wind up my colleagues with my new “Windows phone”).
Pierre Hébert it would be very nice to be able to specify the position of the bottom of a window and let it grow upwards.
]]>Just to be known:
Stop points don’t have the ‘move front/behind’ option, but they can be moved when opening that tool from other icon.
Also, when you add a new icon it become above olds stop points.
Is this intended?
From my point of view stop points will need to be above all but other stop points…not a big problem, I just want to tell.
(Sorry to not post it before the beta)

How to prevent navigation to an area
The purpose is to prevent scrolling in a region which should remain inaccessible, typically a corner created by using two side areas.
On the screenshot two “side bars” are visible (clock and calculator on top, camera, gallery to the right).
Prerequisites:
– LL V8.7.b3
– Option “Snap to pages” is off
First prevent scrolling on the corner with two SP configured as barrier : 1 and 2
Then prevent scrolling beyond the side bars (top and right) with SP 3 and 4 (also configured as snapping for easy scrolling)
Finally add SP 5 and 6 which will respectively stop vertically and horizontally on the page edges. These SP are snapping too.
This way, if you scroll up, clock and calculator will appear, but you won’t be able to scroll to the right. You need to scroll down a bit before, then scroll right to reveal camera and gallery.
]]>Third 8.7 beta (and likely the last one before GA)
If you read previous posts you already know the main new feature, but here is the full changelog anyway, a few other items are worth an update:
* add folder placement options as well as new animations (this is an easy way to create side bars)
* add copy to desktop menu item (only for apps and shortcuts)
* scale stop points when they do not fit in their cell, instead of truncating them (better for small grids)
* add match edge options for stop points
* fix several bugs with stop points (direction not taken into account, wrong vertical snap and some problems with barrier)
I expect that the folder placement options will trigger new feature requests or bug report (in some situation it reveals some weakness that were already here but not visible), so I am waiting for your feedback 😉

]]>The most weird bug I found
From the last weeks I notice something:
1) go to recent apps
2) open an app
3) press Back until the app closes itself
Now, in normal conditions, you should see the launcher…
But I see the recent apps list!
This happens all the time but not sometimes. Now I discover the bug:
‘Restart app’ action.
When you restart LL from LL using that action, the bug happen always until you restart LL from outside (turn off/on the mobile, force close from android settings…)
1) doesn’t happens when you change the language (maybe you can just copy/paste this code?)
2) the behavior is the same as if you force close the launcher and do the steps before open the launcher.
It seems that android know that the launcher has been closed, but for some reason android don’t know that it has been open again.
Do this happen also to you? Tell in comments.
NOTE: I have android 4.3 stock nexus 4
