I’m sure I’m missing something simple here but is there a way to stop the app drawer from scrolling horizontally…
v8.5 is coming
(please allow a few hours before the update appears)
Not as huge as KitKat, but this is nevertheless the greatest version of LL to date 😉
It essentially brings support for pinning items outside of the screen (uncheck the honor pinned items option in the general section for this) and it also comes with a fair number of bugfixes. All in one this is an intermediate release that solves urgent issues, not a big step forward.
Stop points are essentially working now and a beta will appear somewhere at the beginning of the next week. Stay tuned !
]]>Hi, I’ve read that your going to be working on positioning folders better, I hope that means getting rid of margins…
Thank you for this app, been using for a long while now, keep up the great work.
Edited: corrected my error of borders to margins meant.

Building Popups with the Folder-Function of LLX (Lightning Launcher eXtreme)
This Tutorial will show you to bulid Popups with the functionalty of LLX without 3rd party widgets.
It’s not well designed and KIS (keep it simple). Design and other stuff will be you own part 😉
1. Creating the PopUp
• Long tap on empty Space of you Screen
• Select Add..
• Select Folder
• Long Tap on the new Icon
• Select Customize
• Select an Icon and/or Custom Text to change
• In some cases it’s needful to use an empty/transparent picture as icon
(but do this later when you are almost fineshed, because it’s easier to find it)
• Tap the icon (see picture1)
• Long tap on the popup
• Select Customize Folder
• You see now possible Configuration for this single Folder (picture3)
• It’s like a Desktop in LLX
• Select Folders Window
• Uncheck Display the title
• Choose Open and Close to set the Animation
• Select in the Box the Area as shown in picture2
• Tap Normal Color and select 00000000 full transparent as color
(very essential for the popup !!)
• Additional I suggest to configure the Layout as you configured you Desktop, specially the Gridrows and Gridcolumns
• Go back to the Desktop
• Tap the icon (see picture2)
• Long tap on the popup
• Select Edit Layout
• Now add Apps and Widgets as you want Picture4
• When you tap now the folder Icon it looks like Picture5
• LLX automaticly adjust size and postion of the folder-popup
• But we want it that it looks like we have designed it, in this example at the top of the Screen
with a “nice” background
2. The “Trick”
• Tap the Icon
• Long tap on an empty space of the “Popop”
• Select Edit Layout
• “move” the “FolderDesktop” onto the postion you want
• Add a (in this example a zooper-) Widget Picture6
This will LLX force to make the popup bigger.
• Add a second (in this example a zooper-) Widget picture7
• Change the Background of the 1st Widget to transparent
• Change the Background of the second Widget to a “nice” color
and position it in the background
• That’s it Picture8
addition:
you can also use a Transarent icon without functionality for the “trick”
