Auto closing folders.
Auto closing folders.
Hi, I gave tinkered with LL for a while (but no scripting etc.). One thing I struggle with is that I have a number of folders, but when I open a folder abd select an app the folder stays open. (I would need to tap the folder icon for the folder window to close).
Is there any way to make it so folders close whenever an app is selected or another folder us opened?
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.
Hi guys!
Hi guys! To start off, I’m new to LL. I’ve been hopping around many launchers claiming to have a lot of “customization” available until I ran into this app. This one’s the true definition of customization. Anyway, I’m trying to learn the launcher one step at a time. So far I’ve been able to change everything to my desire except for that App Drawer bar which is in Orange (doesn’t really fit my theme). Does anyone know how to edit it or make a custom drawer? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

About the ‘how to have a ➕ desktop’
As Lukas said implementing this from a script can be tricky and will result in a long and complex script due to the personalization the launcher has.
However I though a way to implement this with a relatively very short script that has limitations and very specific instructions that you must follow, but If you follow them (and they are not so strange) it should work correctly. It can be also a start point in case someone want to improve it and make it more ‘universal’
The instructions are:
Set the script to run in the position change event of a container.
Place items that will be the ‘prohibited’ zones (in the video the red ones) that need to have those properties:
Properties of the barrier items:
Label set to “barrier” (this can be changed from script if necessary).
Scale set to 1,1 and skew and rotation to 0.
[Note that it is not necessary to have a red background, but it helps visualizing].
Caveats:
If you enable diagonal scrolling it won’t slide when touching a barrier, it will simply stop. Consider not using diagonal scrolling.
If you enter exit edit mode while a barrier is on view it will jump to the previous saved position, or not move at all if there is no saved one. Consider exiting edit mode always in a ‘valid’ position.
If there are a lot of items in the container it may lag.
With seamless mode it won’t necessarily work as expected. Consider duplicating the barriers yourself if necessary.
Improvements that can be made (for scripters)
Save the barrier’s rects instead of calculating them each time.
Slide instead of stopping when diagonal scrolling is on.
Use also the scale of barriers and maybe even rotation and skew.
Make it valid with seamless mode.

This will open up more ways to improve the lock screen and implement new features.
Also, this will help the developer to generate revenue to support the development.

Hi!
I would like to have my pages shaped like a cross ➕. How can I do that?
if my desktop has nine pages like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
I would like to ignore 1,3,7,9 so each left swipe From 2,5,8 will go to 4, and left will go to 6.
Up from 4,5,6 will go to 2 and down to 8.
thanks!
I am new to this launcher.
I am new to this launcher. I want to know how easily I can put the apps on ‘My Drawer’ into customized folders. To select each app, then dragging to the created folder is too much time consuming and irritating. Please help.
This is a suggestion, but maybe there is currently a way to do this and I didn’t found it yet (If that’s the case…
An item.bringToView() function that will scroll/open/change all necessary containers so that the item is visible on the screen (more exactly ‘inside the screen view’, maybe it is behind something and you can’t see it but you get the idea)
Technically the effect I’m looking for is the same as when you click the pencil button of an item in the hierarchy menu, but without entering edit mode (but if it’s easier entering it I’m ok with it)
I know you can go to the desktop, open the necessary folders and scroll to the places where it needs to. But lightning already does this.
The effect I want is a script that, with the id of a item, can do ‘here you have that item’ and so the user can find items easily from script (as I said, like the hierarchy menu)

I’m new to LL, experienced with UCCW, Zooper and Tasker but having difficulties making a simple scrollable dock with 3 pages (horiz) 4 icons each. When I add icons to the panel I end with some empty pages. Once (don’t know how) I got a 4×3 without empty pages but the icons were in the wrong order and managing priority had no effect.
How can I remove that empty pages?, also sometimes it scrolls vertically (into empty pages) even after I check for Horizontal Only in Scroll Direction.
Using LL 5.1 and my panel settings are Mode columns (fixed number), number columns (4), mode rows (fixed number), number rows (1), desktop size not checked, and Snap to pages checked. Seamless mode X & Y not checked for now, but when working well I’d like seamless for horizontal.
]]>Provide the way to tell desktop’s onLoad SOURCE
I’ve just found(learned) a desktop’s onLoad event is called even on
opening
If we enter that menu, we see a series of desktop’s thumbnailed images.
In that menu, all desktop’s onLoad events are called if they aren’t already loaded. It does make sense to call onLoad event at that moment.
I think most of onLoad event-handler-script of desktop do some initialization about desktop items like folder/panel etc.
But if onLoad is called even that menu scene, we dont’ have to initialize, moreover, we CAN’T initailze, because desktop’s sub items(folder,etc) is not instantiaed yet. That means NULL error-prone.
So I’d like to have a way to tell onLoad event’s SOURCE.
For now, all cases give C_LOADED value.
If a desktop is loaded for Config-desktop menu, then LL can give its source as other value. Then we can deal that case differently.
