v8.8
In the coming weeks I will have quite a lot of work, hence I probably won’t have the time to work on big features. I will instead focus on polishing things a bit. And this new version is exactly this: it improves (a bit) the layout editor:
– a brand new “geometry editor” is available through the item menu / position / geometry. This will allow setting precise values for position, scale, rotate scale and skew of any item (even stop points though this is weird and I still need to improve this, lol)
– an new option in general settings “Single finger scroll in edit mode”. Basically what it does is switch between tap and drag item moves the item or scroll the desktop. The purpose is to avoid false moves in edit mode. By default it is off to preserve the current behavior, but according to your feedback I may toggle it in a future release.
A few bug fixes also found their way in this release:
item preview size in landscape mode, home key occasionally not working, some random crashes.
Oh, and I finally added these transparent status and navigation bars options for Android 4.4 !
Edit: and here is a small video of the geometry editor: Lightning Launcher – Item geometry editor

Thanks, Pierre, sounds very promising!
Kit Kat installed yesterday on my Nexus 4 (Factory Image without wipe worked like a flaw!), looking forward to it.

Hmmm. Generally transparent bar works, but sadly messes up my layout, have to work on that. What I noticed is that overlapping widgets somehow flicker, behind status bar, like the z-index is screwed up.

Lutz Linke transparency increases the size of the desktop, I guess this is why it modifies your layout. (more space vertically)
