From Pierre Hébert post:
“…this (LL) is some kind of toolbox to create a home screen…”
Toolbox, material design, house but not a house…
First I thought about adding a paint brush, a screwdriver or even a wench, but I didn’t like the effect. That’s why I added that android icon.
The other one tries to be the ‘scripting’ feature…tries.
This is another point of view for the icon discussion. Keep the idea (a toolbox and stickers) but not the picture itself (I made it entirely with my mobile phone…not bad I must admit )
As usual, this can make you think and gave ideas to other possibilities.
not as cool as TrianguloY ‘s snake with icons, but I had a funny hour scripting it.

Setup is easy: create a shortcut, hide label and icon and set the script to the Touch event.
Steering is also easy: tap left to turn left, tap right to turn right, tap long to start.

Josh Gray Pierre Hébert Here’s the Color Scheme Chooser mock-up. Quick and simple. Tap the left box to choose from palette, tap right box to manually pick color. Color Scheme could be edited / switched via a top right edit button. Or a single color could be changed by long tapping it; Color Picker shows up.

Working a lot with PowerPoint I thought Color Schemes would be a great addition to LL.
(In follow-up to Josh Gray ‘s suggestion regarding color picker >> https://plus.google.com/113418323387583377848/posts/28pYQWzeQu3 )
I mean: in addition to the usual color picker, it would be possible to choose an indexed color from a color palette (of like 16 or 32 colors). Let’s say one could define color at index 0 for background, at index 1 for main text, index 2 for accent, index 3 for header background etc.
Defined at desktop’s level (no necessity for container level, just like PowerPoint or Word), it would be easy to change a whole setup’s look by simply switching the palette/scheme — as said, just like in PowerPoint. Darkness becomes Light, Lead becomes Gold etc.
Changing palettes should be possible by script also. Think of palettes for Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night — combined with a simple scheduling script = awesomenesss^3.
Palettes could be saved with a template, like Styles. Import/export in JSON-format would be great, too, but not a must.
Pierre Hébert , I know you’re little on time, but let’s hear your opinion. There’s still the open “inheritance” topic and I think Color Schemes would to a great extent be a proper exchange.
]]>Quick question…is there a repository of old versions of LLX?..seems the new versions arent displahing images very…
9 patch resources
9 patch resources
Since Nov, 2013 LLX has supported the use of 9 patch images as backgrounds for icons, folders and panels.
A 9 patch is simply a special .png graphic with stretchable area(s), defined by 1 pixel black lines. It will be automatically resized to contain anything from nothing at all, all the way up to an entire panel or folder window.
More info
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#nine-patch
You can use Photoshop to create or edit a 9 patch image, but these must then be compiled for use in LLX. One way to do this directly on your device is with AIDE (paid version) from Play Store.
Simpler way is to use 9 Patch Editor (in the Play Store). It can save your image in a compiled form.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.denley.android.ninepatch
Once you have the compiled 9 patch image somewhere on your device, just select Customize for your icon, panel or folder, and under the Box tab, tap Normal background image and select the file. You can use the same or different file for Selected background image so for instance an icon “button” can appear to be pushed in when tapped.
