With all the discussion on LLx icons, and especially what is LLx, I was wondering about the name.
Lightning Launcher “Extreme” made sense at the time where there was 2 version of this launcher. The free LL and the paid LLx.
But now that Pierre took the free version out and only LLx Remain. I feel like the extreme is not required anymore. Worst, in my opinion, whenever It might even give a wrong signal. Not to say that LL is not a fantastic or extreme tool. But extreme is a very strong word, that only takes its meaning by comparison (extreme means there is something between the extreme). Being a mild nature, I tend to doubt most “extreme” names seeing it as a marketing tool aimed at teen.
So I’d think going back to the more simple LL (which is in itself a great name) might be a good idea.
That’s just food for thought… I am not asking for a name change, just that I don’t see the justificaiton for extreme anymore.

This is true. I was worried by the fact that removing eXtreme could lead to a very big confusion, but as time goes, it may not be a critical problem anymore.
I will seriously consider the change.

I agree. I think it’s time to remove the extreme “eXtreme”.

Daaaayum everyone’s pulling this launcher to bits! 1st it was the icon then it was the theme and now its the name, I don’t see anything wrong with Extreme it fits the launcher because it offers an Extreme amount of options/customization, it makes people think well what’s so extreme about it :/ Then they try it and be like woah this is Extreme alright

Just change it to X (This will have historical meaning: In the beginning Pierre built LL and LL eXtreme )
So we remember about Legendary LL, the ancestor of LLX
😀 😀 😀

Abednego JS Not a bad idea. And it would make sense if as we saw with the last beta the interface and aspect evolve. Changing icons and name as an update to a new version. This would make a fine renewal. And avoid the idea of a “downgrade from extreme to nothing”

+ Josh Gray, not Launcher X, but Ligthning Launcher X. Shouldn’t be a risk for confusion as such the name are quite different.

Abednego JS Sounds like a good premise for a geek-tech role-playing game :The Legendary LL does battle with the evil goliath Nova…. I should probably stop here before I start laying out scenarios and writing code… 😛

I like LL X, indeed for some people they may think about it as new version of “launcher X” (is that launcher for PalmOS?? I googling it and found Launcher X for PalmOS), but it can’t be a serious problem.. That’s why LLX need some historical references / documentation about itself.
Please don’t stop Carolyn Boyle!! I’ll play it 😀
