Hi Lightning launcher peeps, little help needed

Hi Lightning launcher peeps, little help needed … Is there any way I can set an app shortcut … Incognito tab for instance to be a long press to launch, rather than use traditional app shortcuts ? Thanks for any help ☺️

All, I’m sure I’m just being an idiot, but I can’t for the life of me find the way to get rid of the folder “icon”.

All, I’m sure I’m just being an idiot, but I can’t for the life of me find the way to get rid of the folder “icon”. When I choose an icon, it just put’s it on top of the grey folder icon and I can see the edges of it around my slightly more rounded icons that I want to use.

Any way to get rid of the grey box? Everything I do seems to get rid of the grey box and the new icon I select! I suppose I could just make the folder icon transparent and put the icon I want underneath, but there feels like there is a “proper” way of doing this! Any help appreciated!

Also welcome back to our dev! I love LLx. Thought I might have to go elsewhere but I’m sticking with this as I love it. Keep up the good work!

PS: I got around the other issue of the think nav bar I posted last week by just putting some toggles down there. Will post a pic in a sec. It shows the folder icon issue too

V14.3 beta

V14.3 beta

This beta version introduces experimental support for nested scrolling in panels.

For this to work, you need to set “Overscroll animation” to None (in the Scroll/zoom options screen) in the inner container, otherwise it will not work.

Feedback welcome!

* Remove READ_CALL_LOG and READ_SMS permissions because their use in launchers is now forbidden by the Google Play Store policy. A dialog box with a workaround will be displayed in case these permissions are needed (in badges). More info here: https://www.lightninglauncher.com/wordpress/permissions-handling/

* Fix the floating desktop on Oreo, thanks to TrianguloY

* Partially fix the issue with the app drawer not being automatically updated upon app (un)install on Oreo

hi

hi,

love the launcher, by far the best one I’ve ever had in terms of customisability and functionality.

how does nested scrolling work in lightning?

I thought the most intuitive approach would be to treat overscroll as scroll on a parent, if the parent can be scrolled.

for example, let’s say I have 2 pages vertically, and on the page that’s on the bottom I have a panel filling the whole page, that freely scrolls vertically, for example containing an app list. when I scroll to the top of the panel and then try to scroll up further, I’d expect to scroll back to page 1, but that does not happen, instead it just overscrolls the panel. swipe up/down events also don’t trigger on overscroll as I’d expect them to.

is that intended behaviour? is there an option that I missed to turn it on/off?

sorry if this is the most asked question ever

V14.2.1 stable

V14.2.1 stable

A new version with a required update due to Google Play policy change, and two fixes:

– remove READ_CALL_LOG and READ_SMS permissions because their use in launchers is now forbidden by the Google Play Store policy. A dialog box with a workaround will be displayed in case these permissions are needed (in badges)

– fix the floating desktop on Oreo, thanks to TrianguloY

– partially fix the issue with the app drawer not being automatically updated upon app (un)install on Oreo

I wasn’t too sure I could still code in Java, build an APK and publish it on the Play Store, but hey, it’s like riding a bike: it can’t be forgotten!

Bug?

Bug?

All, I just got a Huawei running EMUI9 on pie (mate 20 pro). Everything was working fine UNTIL I touched the items under

System bars > Navigation bars

Now my Nav bar is about twice as high as it was before… The weirdest thing is I can force stop the program, clear the cache, uninstall the program, reinstall and still the nav bar is the same! Resetting LL also doesn’t help… If I go into the menus or to any other program, the nav bar returns to it’s original height, it’s only in LL on the desktop and app drawer tyhat it happens. Even in LL menu it is the correct height. I see from screenshots from some others that I don’t think it’s just me. Any help greatly appreciated!
