So on my Desktop & n my App Drawer I set a wallpaper thru “Set a Wallpaper ‘, then if I try to put a wallpaper thru ‘Set a Desktop wallpaper’, this small picture appears on desktop & in App drawer.?

*Is there any way to place separate walls on the desktop & app drawer?

*Can I change the size of this 2nd smaller wallpaper?

Thank you again very much for the assistance with setting up my Lightning Launcher!

New APK: Sort apps into categories

New APK: Sort apps into categories

This has BETA status use at your own risk.

Only for use on an empty desktop, will delete all items if there are any!

Usage

* load it as script in an empty desktop (or one you don’t need anymore, or one you launched that script in before)

* grant account access if needed (only first time)

* it will probably stay open as black window with only a title and maybe “Initializing Query” as text. if it does, close it.

* it will probably say now, “Request Canceled” as a toast. If it does, just load it again.

* wait for the queries to finish

* a dialog should pop up now showing all categories which are gonna be created

* you can select one or more of them and press group. Then you can enter a new name for this category/these categories.

* Press commit if you are finsihed grouping stuff.

* the desktop is now gonna get filled with folders containing all your apps

* the category “Other” contains all apps which aren’t on the play store/couldn’t be found

* bug: the items in the folders all stay at position (0/0), so you have to open all folders manually and press menu->items->sort a-z

As always, if you have something you would like to do, but can’t do within the script, tell me

At the end of the clock_init.js file

At the end of the clock_init.js file,

I don’t understand what theses lines are doing, can anyone

help me with this? :

// hack: the resumed event is triggered as soon as the item is created, hence before the “i.resumed” event handler is set

// the following lines will effectively pause and resume the launcher, and start the clock

// that’s ok

var intent = new Intent();

//that’s not ok :

intent.setClassName( “net.pierrox.lightning_launcher_extreme”, “net.pierrox.lightning_launcher.activities.Dashboard”);

// not ok

intent[‘putExtra(java.lang.String,int)’](“p”, d.getId());

//ok

LL.startActivity(intent);

Hey guys, I’ve had a new Idea.

Hey guys, I’ve had a new Idea.

The problem is: It’s working for me, but I can’t prove if its working on other phones, especially in other countries.

So, it would be great if you could help me with this.

First i need to say, this needs 3 premissions, which could help to spy your phone, and it does also request Google access.

Of course it does not spy you or your phone, instead it does request data from google servers.

So if you don’t trust anyone – or me in particular 😉 – , stop reading here.

What you need to do:

* download the apk

* load it as script

* grant account access

* it will probably stay open as black window with only a title. if it does, close it.

it will probably say now, that you need to grant permissions first as a toast. If it does, just load it again.

* tell me the toast output you get. If everything worked correct, it should be:

YouTube, Lightning launcher Extreme, File Explorer

 in 3 toasts.

My second question of the day is … Stop Points.

My second question of the day is … Stop Points.

Why is it that some lock solid at the stop point, and some like on the sidebar i’m doing have a bounce at the edge. On the points that bounce, (like the sidebar) if i keep swiping in that direction i can pull the sidebar across, yet other things are locked solid ?

So

So

A lot of people have been complaining about the padding in widgets, something that seems to be an android issue, even thought other launchers seem to ‘fix’.

This is Lightning launcher! And we can also fix that!

The issue is that the widgets seem to have a margin (20px in my case), and suddenly I thought…why not set the margin of the box of the widgets to -20?

This is not possible with the normal lightning UI…but it is with scripts 😀

When setting the properties, lightning don’t check if they are positive, so you can simply put a negative margin to ‘reduce’ the widgets.

I quickly made this script that lets you easily ‘fix’ a widget running the script from the widget, or even all in a container running the script from the container (it lets you ‘revert back’)

Note: as I said, for me the ‘ghost’ margin is 20px in all directions, you can test and change those values in the script in case you have different ones.

Pierre Hébert​: what about let the normal user set directly negative number in the box?

About the LL scripting API documentation, I tried to copy the site with HTTRack, but it doesn’t work as expected.

About the LL scripting API documentation, I tried to copy the site with HTTRack, but it doesn’t work as expected… (but for the wiki it works)

I have a lot of free time in train with no network, so I wanted to have an offline version of the LLX API docs, is it possible to have it ? (zip, pdf, .. ?)

thanks !

PS: or even a standalone app with all api docs..
