Currently I have a folder that holds a widget.
Currently I have a folder that holds a widget. Folder shows up only when I use a tap gesture. So far, so good. This is my sliding calendar folder then that only shows up when I want to see it.
What if I wanted this tap gesture to show two folders, one up top and one a bit below it.
Reason being I like my desktop very spartan with only 4 buttons at the bottom. I might also want to have a couple of info bars which only fire up on request though.
Would this be achieved through panels or can I still use folders? Also, how can I get the single tap to show the two panels\folders – both in predefined positions?
I’m a thunking some scripting is needed. Anyone care to throw me some bones as to where to look?

If you used panels, you could slide then both into the “open” position showing both widgets. Then run TrianguloY multi container bookmark script. Then make a short cut to the resulting script that will be made. Then tapping shortcut will slide both panels open. Run it again to make a script for “closed” position.

I’m sure there are other ways, but that’s what came to mind.

Chris Chastain isn’t opening folders easier than sliding panels? You can choose animation also.
Edit:
To launch an item from the current desktop using script you do this:
LL.getCurrentDesktop().getItemByLabel(“XXX”).launch();
If you have them (like I do) on a different desktop, replace getCurrentDesktop() with getDesktopByName(“YYY”)
Now just replace XXX and YYY with the appropriate names.
You can use this multiple times in a script if you want to launch multiple items.

How would I go about using specific panels to sjow\hide? I already have one I use as my dock which should always be visible.

Rachel Ambler to hide panels you need to scroll the desktop, so make bookmarks.
Edit: You can also make the panel invisible (haven’t double checked) so just use the launch script and replace launch() with setVisibility(false) to hide it and setVisibility(true) to display it
Edit2: If you want the script to toggle the visibility, use this:
var item = LL.getCurrentDesktop().getItemByLabel(“XXX”);
if ( item.isVisible() )
item.setVisibility(false);
else
item.setVisibility(true);

Bogdan Tautu that sounds like it might work. Thanks!

Couldn’t you use a folder that holds the 2 folders you want to show?

I like Spartan as well, so I have one icon for my phone at the bottom center that is almost transparent, then above that is a wide short folder. This folder contains 4 other folders, all 5 transparent. Each of the internal folders slide from each of the sides. 3 hold 2 widgets each, the 4th holds a weather widget, 2 app icons and 4 folders each with my most commonly used apps grouped together. I set the containing transparent folder to open each containing folder with a different swipe, and pressing opens app drawer. Only thing visible on my desktop is the phone icon you can barely see.
