My Material Launcher (Version 3)

My Material Launcher (Version 3)

Have a look at the YouTube video because the screenshots are static and don’t really show it properly: http://youtu.be/LI-a5uerLmQ

This is my third attempt at a material themed homescreen/launcher. This time around i have used Lightning Launcher, Zooper Widgets and Tasker. (Also present is the BBC news widget and the Google calendar widget).

It is my first time using Lightning Launcher, so i am sure there is a lot more i could do with it, but we all have to start somewhere, lol.

Let me know what you think and, more importantly, let me know if there is anything you would change or improve.

Panels are great!

Panels are great!

However, I have a problem with showing widgets which are more than one row high inside a panel. The default height of a panel is one row who means that a 2 row high widget gets truncated (see photos).

I’m probably missing something obvious, but does anyone know how to increase the height of a panel to be 2 rows high?

I have run into a little bit of a mystery that I hope someone can clear up for me.

I have run into a little bit of a mystery that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have a panel at the bottom of my main desktop that acts as a scrolling dock.  As everyone who uses this app knows, you have to have app icons on your desktop in order to move them into the panel. For this specific purpose I have left open space on my main desktop right above the panel and below the widgets I have on that desktop. In the past when I would go into the app drawer and long press on an apps icon and then select “Add to launcher”, a shortcut for that application would be added into that empty space on my main desktop and I could then add that shortcut into the panel. I populated the panel with that method and everything worked just fine. Recently I decided that several of those shortcuts in the panel could be replaced with shortcuts from different apps that I found  I am using more. I went ahead and removed the shortcuts from the panel that I wanted to replace and then went into my app drawer and long pressed on the two app icons within the drawer of the newer apps and choose the “Add to launcher” command from the popup menu. Unfortunately, no shortcuts have appeared on my main desktop or in any of the free space on the other two desktop I have setup. I have even zoomed out on these desktops to see if they were being added in an area outside of what I could normally view and there is nothing there. I have tried this a number of times with the same results. At this point, I cannot populate the free space in my panel because I can no longer add shortcuts to my desktops. This is the first time I have tried doing this since the new version of Lightning Launcher (with the new editor interface) had been released…..so have things changed in respect to how a panel gets populated? Am I doing something wrong now? I need some help because I now have a scrolling dock (in the form of the panel) at the bottom of my launcher with conspicuous empty spots that are like missing teeth and I have no way that I know of to fix this.

This is the first home screen I am sharing.

This is the first home screen I am sharing. The theme galore with colors. I’m using Kustom Live wallpaper over Lightning Launcher, using Tasker to control various functions and designs.

The icons in the centre are material fonts and have Notification counts, derived through tasker profiles. The icons at the bottom are on a circular panel of llx. The sidebar on left is made on klwp, folders on llx and some data based on tasker. The background image, photo and theme Colors are controlled and changed at predefined intervals through tasker variables.

I’ve followed and taken the help of many people of the community. Hope you like it….

This is still a work in progress. I’m expecting your valuable feedback to improve this further. Thank you.

Hello Everybody

Hello Everybody,

You may have noticed that I wasn’t here these days.

The reason is a bug in my bike driving software which lead to a crash, ending with something like BrokenLegException, lol!

Well, more seriously, I spent a few days at the hospital but I am now back to home and I am fine.

Still I need to take some rest, don’t expect to hear from me too much, I am sorry for that.

I just wanted to let you know that things are still going on, I had some pretty good stuff in the pipe that was near ready for a beta, so maybe an update will come in a not too far future 😉

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi There

Hi There,

is there a way to get an all-app sidebar, like action or sf launcher have? without adding all apps by hand 😉

Thanks

The icons switch orientation about one second after opening the app drawer.

The icons switch orientation about one second after opening the app drawer. The icons in the dock are also sideways. I’ve changed the orientation settings for both the desktop and app drawer but it still doesn’t fix it.

Question about panel behaviour.

Question about panel behaviour.

When I tap inside a panel, whether it’s on an item or just its background, I see a ripple animation. This only happens in panels, AFAIK.

The question is – Is there some way to turn that animation off?
