Adding a few tweaked versions of my initial idea seen here:

I personally like the second better out of these two I think. Colors still up for change as always.
When I customize my home screen,I use a lot of panels and folders(about10~20!) as usual.
To my surprise,LLX consumes 112MB on RAM.
Please teach me how to reduce memory consumption of LLX.
Only reduce the number of panels and folders…? X(

Just another attempt at an icon. Yes I know the “X” inside isn’t the best quality. Gimp just isn’t as good as Photoshop for something quick and I don’t have time to fix it before going out tonight. I will work on it a bit later tomorrow or something. Colors again can be changed that’s not a big deal.
]]>This is a behavior of stop points that seems to be wrong.
Snapping stop points always acts when you release the finger in a ‘no-fling’ state even when the direction of the scrolling is different to the matching direction.
It is difficult to understand, so here are instructions.
In a desktop where you can scroll in the four directions place a stop point in the right second screen. Enable the snapping. Optionally but better to understand the bug, set it to react to the right side and only to right-to-left direction (and desktop-wide recommended)
If you are in the origin position and scroll up and down, when you release the finger you can:
a) release it while fling: the desktop will continue scrolling up or down a bit and will stop. All ok.
b) release it in a stopped position: if you move the finger up and down, then you stop it, and release it in this ‘stopped’ state, the desktop will scroll to the right: the stop point is acting, and it is supposed to not do it.
[If you need a video tell me]
I guess the bug is because when you release the finger and the launcher search for a snapping stop point, it takes only the current velocity of scrolling, and not the previous one. It is understandable because if you instead scrolled horizontally and released the finger in the stopped state the stop point will need to act, but only if the last previous movement the finger where moving right-to-left. Now it also acts if you scroll a bit to the left, stop the finger and then release the finger.
An even more funny behavior: if you have another stop point at the bottom, both will act scrolling the screen diagonally. If you have another at the left, one of those will act (I think the nearest one)
So, instead of only decide if a snapping stop point need to act or not, instead of decide it only with the current scrolling velocity, you will need to keep a variable with the last non-zero one and use that instead if the current one is zero.
In my opinion.

There is something very fundamental I’m not understanding about how icons are rendered in this launcher. Using the geometry editor, you can see the item is 200×200, scale is 1. And the blue box is (correctly) being drawn at precisely that size. The icon Scale and inner scale are set to 100%, and all padding is set to 0. However when I choose a 200×200 .png image as my icon, it’s getting downscaled and drawn small in the middle. I very much would expect it to fill the blue box in its entirety. What am I missing? Even if I pick a big picture (like a 1080×1920 screenshot) it gets drawn tiny with lots of blank padding around it. Why is it getting scaled at all?

Is there something wrong with icon packs in LLX? the main reason I don’t adopt it as my launcher is that icons get all weird.
In the included pictures, the icons themed by the pack got small, and the other icons are bigger with an ugly border around. Am I doing anything wrong?
]]>I’m not sure if this was ever in the launcher but I’ve recently had a use for it and it’s not there.
I’m talking about double tapping shortcuts and apps. when I go into customization options I see alot of options (press, long press, swipe, resume, pause, tap) but no double tap.
the reason I’m asking is because I wanted to have the app open on a single tap but open the folder with its widget in it on a double tap. perhaps there’s a reason it hasn’t been added into the list but it would be cool.
]]>recently I was playing with a certain script that took my apps and shortcuts (and widgets but I didn’t add any) and…
what if there was a script that when the wheel turned 1 way it turns media volume up and turned the other way it turns media volume down….. like a volume nob on a stereo?
come to think of it I’ve been looking for a widget that allows this (yes there are some but they require that I first click the widget as opposed to just turning the damn nob) but im yet to find one that doesn’t require a click action first. most stereos I’ve seen don’t require a click action so I don’t feel I should have to click a widget first before changing the damn volume, I don’t care what Googles policy is. but that’s beside the point
the point is the wheel looks like a volume nob and I just think it would be cool if that was possible. I’m placing (originally was planning… damn swipe) it in the discussion section because I just want to know what it looks like to you and what crazy ideas everyone had in mind. perhaps someone can even craft a script that does this who knows?
