It’s possible pop open panels and edit them full screen to a limited extent.

I haven’t tested the following on any device but my phone, but I figured I’d post this in case it works for anyone else

It’s not really a feature yet, more of an Easter egg at this point; but if you have a panel that has no horizontal scrolling (vertical is ok) you can make the panel pop out like a folder by swiping left on it. Long pressing puts it into edit mode it & looks just like a folder.

You can then edit the contents like a folder, but after popping it out you have to restart the launcher to be able to click on the panel contents again. I just keep a re-start shortcut next to the panel until I’m done editing it. It can be useful sometimes but at this point objects are not always positioned correctly on the pop out, and it only works for panels with no horizontal scrolling. It can be useful for hunting down objects when they seem to disappear, though.

Pictures 1. and 2. show the panel in place, 3. shows it popped out like a folder after swiping left on it.

To get horizontal scrolling panels to pop out like this is going to be a complicated programming problem & thinking about it is starting to give me one of those headaches but I’m confident Pierre is up to the challenge. ;-P

Just found a site which generates android app element 9-patch pngs. Mainly for app developers, but might be handy for themers as well. Will give it a try and see how well elements can be used.

Stop points do not work for me.

Stop points do not work for me. I have tried checking and checking all possible combinations in the editing, but screen continues to scroll past them. The editing handle off certain widgets and icons go outside of a screen boundary. Is there a way to stop scrolling beyond that screen boundary?

Is there the possibility to have the ll appdrawer within llx? I found the llx appdrawer really heavy, and it makes llx really slower than ll

I have a question about edit item within panels. I can not edit items inside a panel. I long press the item but nothing happens? When I long press items outside they go into edit mode. I have recently made a factory reset and an upgrade to JB 4.3. There has been some other issues after that, but I can not figure this one out. I have not dug into panels before, so maybe I am doing something fundamentally wrong.

This is just a fluke wallpaper. A completely accidental, perfectly focused photo of the fabric of my shorts. Taken during a fat finger moment (I was switching to front camera).

Anyway I really like the way it looks, and if you do too, grab it.

I know that folders can be named and those names can be used to open/close specific folders, but can desktop bookmarks be referenced the same way?

Just a very small suggestion..

Just a very small suggestion..

On the ‘box’ tab when customising an item, it would be lovely if there was a series of buttons to select specific parts.

I don’t know if it is necessary, but if I change the color of something I have to manually select the centre, then each of the 4 borders, then the margins.

Then I usually select the top and left border, make them lighter, and darken the right and bottom ones.

It would be nice if there were a series of buttons of to one side that selected these areas.. Even just one to select the borders (I find I often select a margin or padding section by accident).

Or be awesome if there was a button for each of the selections (margin, border, content, all) that toggled them (eg have top and left border selected, press the border button, and it deselects those 2 border items and selects right and bottom).

This would make editing ‘the box’ a lot easier, I believe. Discuss? 🙂

Not sure if already suggested.

Not sure if already suggested. Dynamic text works great (just discovered that in Lutz theme). But if you want to get more reminders count you need tasker. Tasker integration would come just handy especially with panels used as task bars or quicklaunch…

That is definitely not an urgent update but that would definitely makes LLX a killer tools for Themers…
