Hi

Hi,

I’m curious to know if it’s possible using Lightning Launcher, to toggle hiding anything on a given screen (so that just the wallpaper is shown) and then restoring those items.

TIA!

    Yes: all, a part, replace items, change things… Using scripts or even bindings.

    You want to know how or just with the confirmation is enough?

    TrianguloY — I’d appreciate it if you could tell me how this might be achieved, yes please. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Well, another very easy way to ‘Show and hide all items’ is to create an empty desktop, and use the lightning actions to go to the next/previous desktop, or to a specific one.

    Another easy way without creating a new desktop, to hide only some items for example, is with a binding:

    Set the visibility binding property of an item to a variable (any name, I’ll use ‘myvariable’ but you can change it)

    Select item, edit, properties, bindings, visibility, and write $myvariable

    Then where you want to show the item use the lightning action ‘set a variable’ with the variable name myvariable and the value 1. If you want to hide the item set it to 0. And if you want to toggle it set it to 1-$myvariable.

    Add shortcut, lightning action, set a variable, fill the dialog.

    If you have a lot of items to hide you can set the binding to each of them, or place them in a panel and set the binding to the panel instead.

    And the advanced version with scripts is a lot more customizable, but longer to explain and understand too.
