I’m wondering if the icon change effects (like in Android L preview [like how the menu icon turns into an arrow]) will ever be possible. If so, would it greatly impact LL in terms of performance and space taken?

Please test: demo templates for my ZW-scaling suggestion (https://plus.google.com/+LutzLinke/posts/4UVqKs9Etut).

Please test: demo templates for my ZW-scaling suggestion (https://plus.google.com/+LutzLinke/posts/4UVqKs9Etut).

Pierre Hébert and all others:

I created a demo page with some Zooper Widgets on 720×1280, 320dpi and exported as template (just 96kB). This template loaded on different screen will result in incorrectly scaled ZWs (see attached screens).

So I created a few patched templates that should scale correctly directly after applying for the following devices or resolutions:

720×1280 Nexus4

768×1280 Nexus4

800×1280 213dpi, i.e. AsusPad MemoPad 7 HD

800×1280 149dpi, i.e. Toshiba AT700 10″ Tablet

1080×1920 388dpi, i.e. Samsung Galaxy Note 3

1080×1920 424dpi, i.e. Sony Xperia Z2

1080×1920 431dpi, i.e. Samsung Galaxy S5

1080×1920 441dpi, i.e. Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony XperiaZ1

1080×1920 445dpi, i.e. Nexus5

1200×1920 324dpi, i.e. Nexus7(2013)

1440×2560 538dpi, i.e. LG G3

You can download them here:

https://app.box.com/s/hdj5buwi3quqt89rwql9

You can merge to test and delete that desktop afterwards.

Formulas used are a bit different (see LLTemplateScale_V2.xlsx):

preset_widgetwidth >> x Ratio Width

preset_widgetheight >> x Ratio Height

pref_widget_scale >> x 1/Ratio DPI

preset_dpiheight >> x Ratio Height/Ratio DPI

preset_dpiwidth >> x Ratio Width/Ratio DPI

If you own a device listed above (or a similar device with matching resolution and dpi), could you please test, do a screenshot and send it to me and Pierre?

Thanks for your help!!

Speaking of…. Is there a way to get to battery% in a script?

Is there a setHomeDesktop() method or something similar for desktop objects, I have LLx as well as the original legacy LL desktop switcher widget pro if I would need to downgrade

Resize icon when we are selecting one from our files.

Resize icon when we are selecting one from our files… I had this functionality in Nova, but it’s not possible here… 🙁

So when I select an icon, I pick one, then I can, or not resize it

Again with the same setup and widgets in folder.

Again with the same setup and widgets in folder.

I set the same height for 2 widgets: 590. Both have borders, padding and margins set to 0. Folder snapping is set to Edge. Widgets are not equal in height- why?

Better scaling (ZW) widgets when applying templates with widgets.

Better scaling (ZW) widgets when applying templates with widgets.

Since after restoring an LL template with Zooper Widgets those in many cases need adjustments, I did some investigations how to improve this issue. If this could be applied, Pierre Hébert , LL would be REALLY the BEST (well, it already is… but anyway) template-able launcher.

I exported a template on my Nexus 4 (768×1280), imported on my tablet (800×1280), fixed some widgets, re-exported and compared.

Findings:

File “*manifest*”:

screenDensity 320 >> 213 >> Ratio 0,6656

screenWidth: 768 >> 800 >> Ratio 1,0417 >> Ratio*dpi 1,5649

screenHeight 1184 >> 1216 >> Ratio 1,0270 >> Ratio*dpi 1,5430

If those ratios would be applied to the values (verified, worked great!!) in Zooper Widgets’ preset.json (inside widgets_data settings file) as followed, the ZW widgets would look quite perfect immediatelly after the applying the template.

preset_widgetwidth >> x screenWidth ratio

preset_widgetheight >> x screenHeight ratio

pref_widget_scale >> x Max(Ratio W*dpi,Ratio DpiH*dpi)

preset_dpiwidth >> x Max(Ratio W*dpi,Ratio DpiH*dpi)

preset_dpiheight >> x Max(Ratio W*dpi,Ratio DpiH*dpi)

I’m not pretty sure about that “Max(…)” since the only difference between my devices’ screens is dpi and width (768×1280 and 800×1280), but according to calculations and tests it works.

Here’s a sheet with my calculations for those interested:

Hey!

Hey!

How can we change the default label of apps in the app drawer? (without using the MyDrawer panel)?

add to LL parent control. For example disable long tap to home button, enable launch only selected app, or enable launche only app on destkop, etc.

Looking for confirmation that what I want can be done and maybe a snippet showing the actual call.

Looking for confirmation that what I want can be done and maybe a snippet showing the actual call.

I want to take a folder or panel and reset the custom attributes of all objects. I am not talking about the position type of attributes. I want to reset all custom font, icon, box, etc properties so that they become unchecked in the gui and will then take on whatever gets set in the Items (customize, more) menus.
