For full theming is there a chance we could use 9patch for the desktop menue popup, the app picker popup that appears for sharing an image and the widget add menue?

v8.7 is ready!

v8.7 is ready!

And there is a BIG changelog. I don’t even know myself how it could grow this way. Maybe this has something to do with the beta…

Since the v8.6b1 release:

– add folder placement options as well as new animations (this is an easy way to create side bars)    

– add open folder action

– add an option to close other folders when opening a new one, and the auto close option will now also work for the desktop

– add support for nine patches (item box and folder window)

– better backup/restore screen

– add support for label selection in Unread Gmail Dynamic Text

– add rotation change events (useful to configure one desktop per orientation for instance)

– improved icon pack support (mask)

– 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

– remove hardcoded ‘close folder’ action in some situations

– folders are no longer automatically closed when returning to home with the home key so that this is consistent with the back key

– enable the dual position option for the app drawer too

– add desktop&position launcher action (same as the shortcut, but easier to configure)

– fixed a problem with unread sms count not always updated

– fix dynamic text tabs

– fix a bug with styles that prevented the use of this feature (crash and other problems)

– fix several bugs with stop points (direction not taken into account, wrong vertical snap and some problems with barrier)

– fix direct dial shortcuts when use in item or gesture events on some devices

– fix a few other minor bugs

Have fun !

Adding a taptu widget when zoomed out creates a “massive widget”

Adding a taptu widget when zoomed out creates a “massive widget”

This might be a taptu issue but it’s behaviour is unexpected on llc.

To reproduce:

Install taptu

Add widget to desktop (while at 100 p) = all good and normal.

Pinch zoom out and repeat = jumbo sized widget.

I added some small icons around the button indicating what the various swipe directions do. Tap is main menu, long tap is app drawer.

If you want the same clock, install One More Clock widget and import this tweaked clock: https://www.box.net/s/3l8w6ri9q1qiogkrwgo5

The nine patch and apk themes

The nine patch and apk themes

Do nine patch pings get included when you make an apk for a theme? Or do you need to give out a seperate file with the images and have the end user apply them?

Current Desktop > Wallpaper & Background > Change the desktop wallpaper… > External file manager

Current Desktop > Wallpaper & Background > Change the desktop wallpaper… > External file manager

The above option opens icons instead of wallpapers provided in the icon packs. I am not sure whether this has been reported already. So please apologies in case it has been already reported.

Hardware homebutton’s zoom 100% action doesnt work at sub-folder opened

Hardware homebutton’s zoom 100% action doesnt work at sub-folder opened

You can watch this bug situation lik this.

Create a folder A in a desktop.

Create a child folder B in  A.

Maybe your General –> Events&actions –> Home keys is likely to be set as “Go to home desktop, then zoom 100p” or “Zoom 100p”.

Ok. Open folder A, and move your underneath desktop page to not homepage.

Then if you tap Home key, your desktop will (go to homepage) and zoom 100%, right? Till now, no problem maybe.

(My virtualbox’s Android 4.1.1’s LL doesnt move/zoom at this situation, but Bluestacks Android ginger and my ICS phonne works)

Open folder A, child folder B, and then move your desktop page to not homepage. Then tap Home key.

On my phone and PC’s bluestacks/virtualbox, LL dosent driect to homepage/zoom 100p during subfolder opened.

BUT, if I put a LL’s shortcut which (goes to home and) zooms 100p, and if tapping that shortcut under situation like subfolder open and desktop page moved/zoomed, above problem doesn’t appear and works well.

This bug only appears when tapping hardware HOME key, I couldnt test software HOME key because I have no such devices.
