V14.2b2 Surprise… new beta!
That’s mainly an update to fix issues with Oreo. It builds upon the previous beta version but there are more than simple corrections in it.
My development tools had to go through a full update in order to support Oreo. As I hadn’t done this for a while, I discovered that a lot of things have changed… It took more gigabytes to download/install than I thought it was possible, and also a few more surprises, but at last it’s running now.
What’s new in this update:
– fix for Oreo adaptive icons
– rework of the translations loader, due to changes in build system
– minor change in how system bars are handled in Oreo
– built with newest Android tools
Hopefully it won’t break too much things, but make a backup before to update please. That’s a healthy precaution since I’m not too available these days.
Regarding the previous beta: did anybody play with the SVG stuff? Was there big issues in this version that requires fixing?
Have fun!

You’ve been missed.
Welcome back, sir.
Thank you for the update.
It slightly altered the positioning of some of my items, but a few minor tweaks, and all seems well.
I already see more than enough improvement on Marshmallow to justify the minor retweaking.
You’re SO appreciated!

Pierre Hébert nice to see you back with us.
There is an issue since last beta.
If you press the back button inside the folder, not only the last folder is closed, but also the appdrawer. Is it possible to make it like it used to be? Back button should close only the last/top folder.
Thank you for the best launcher ever.
No troubles with last beta on KitKat.
It’s great that you continue to develop the LL. But don’t forget about personal life.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll look at the issue with the app key in the app drawer soon. Regarding the beta, there is no need for an invitation. As far as I know you just need to make sure that you are using the same google account for the play store and for this community.

Regarding the SVG I remember playing at the beginning, but I didn’t used it much. I’ll try to find time to play more with them, it seems so much fun and I’m missing it!

Indeed SVG has a big potential for custom widgets and animations, but as for today it’s probably too low level to be used as is.

Pierre Hébert I also played with SVG long ago. If I remember correctly :
I could not create from coding.
I could not make them stay over restart.
