provisional solution for different wallpaper in portrait layout and different for landscape layout
1) For portrait layout set original android wallpaper, how you best suits. (Customize Lightning…/settings/current desktop/wallpaper and background/change the system wallpaper…
2) Add…/application or shortcut/choose some item. For example shortuct/activity/ll-action/do nothing (lock). Now you have on desktop new icon (house with lightning).
3) long tap to this icon. Customize…/more…/ in text set display the label to no. In Icon set display the icon to no. In Box select (tap to) content and select normal background (and choose your prefered picture optimalized for landscape layout). In + set clickable to no. Press back key.
4) Now you are on desktop. Go to: Customize Lightning…/settings/current desktop/layout/dual position set to yes. Now go to: Customize Lightning…/settings/general/Honour pinned items in edit mode set to no. Press twice back key.
5) Now you are on desktop. Long tap to free place and select edit layout. Now long tap to your shortcut with your new picture wallpaper. Select positions…/move front/behind/ and select left red icon, now press back key.
6) Now you rotate your device to landscape layout. Find your shorctut with picture. Tap to free place and select edit layout. Now long tap to shortcut and select position…/detach from grid, zoom out, and resize your shortcut for all home screen (bordered with white line) – you can zoom in/out for better work. If you resize shortcut, you can see white line on shorcut. Please add this white line to white line from editor layout. (for all side). You can long tap to shorctut and select position…/geometry/ Press dot in cross. Press width and set your width. Press height and set height. Again press dot in cross (many time) now is on screen with left and top. Please set left 0 and top 0.Press back key. Press home key. Long tap to free place, select edit layout/position/pin. Press back key. Now you have own wallpaper for landscape layout different from portrait layout, but…
7) Now you are on desktop. You must have device in portrait layout. You can see your shortcut with wallpaper for landscape layout. Now we must hide this shortcut. Long tap to free place and select edit layout. Now long tap to your shortcut and move this shorctut outside the screen (far away after white border). Press back key. Press home screen button.
8) Propably on both layouts (landscape and portrait) you can now slide with other apps and widgets… You can go to edit layout and add some stop point (How you prefer).
Unfortunately, this can not be solved for background in all apps (app drawer).
]]>Pierre Hébert if you are going to rework the geometry menu, I have some suggestions, mainly add sub-settings in that…
-one will be the actual geometry settings
-another one could be the possible new window resize tool
-add the front/back little menu
-a menu with some toggles (honour pinned items on/off, show/hide invisible items, enable/disable the drop feature…) and maybe functions as reset geometry
Take this as an idea. I’m sure it will give you others.
]]>New update messed up stop points.
Would it be possible to only “partially apply” APK-templates?
I mean: I soon publish an update of my template. Mostly I added many new styles (read: “Desktop Settings”), added on requests some new folders and only a liiitle bit changed the layout.
But: If users download the update, they need to reapply it, right? But if they do… i.e. all their sorted apps in folders, their own widgets are lost.
Another idea: The styles i my template are saved as “desktop settings”, containing ALL settings. How about “themes” that contain only a subset of the desktop settings (delta) like colors etc?

I apologize if there’s already a way to do this, but I want to have both the transparent notification bar, and have my widgets bot encroach in the bars space. The example shows what I’m running into. Thanks!
]]>Probably this is a stupid question, but i need a tip: How is possible to chose the home page?
interFACE
Lightning Launcher
Zooper Widget Pro

and Panels with Horizontal Scroll

v9.0.4
Today I am releasing a new version in the beta channel. It contains bug fixes only and it will be stable, but the reason why it is not in the production channel is that it includes a sensitive modification regarding the scrolling animation, and as a consequence it impacts the general user experience.
The goal is to improve smoothness and remove hiccups seen on some devices. It has been tested successfully on a particular phone with the help of Moritz but it would be great if it could be validated on more devices too. A thing to note is that the “Scrolling speed option” is disabled in this version.
The full change log is:
* reworked scrolling, for a smoother user experience
* fix app not launching from the app drawer when already running and auto exit option is checked
* remove “All apps” from recent apps
* full text search in app drawer
* folder background is not copied to non folder items when copying the style
* fix “Add to launcher” action not working with panels
* fix some crashes
* fix some widgets not fully deleted when reseting or removing a desktop
Available in around 2 hours !
