Inside a panel, Customize >> Copy style copies the panels settings, not the ones of the clicked item.
Oookay… here’s a single screen version of my last theme.
Sadly short after the contest deadline (any chance, though?). But “lady first”, young girl needed her bottle of milk and diapers changed.
Sleep is overrated, so I threw together the bits. While it works okay, I’m not write satisfied. I’d like more empty space. Will tune it, but not now. 2:50, time to get some sleep.
My second entry for the contest, shore before deadline. Descriptive screenshots will be added shortly.
Summary:
– Expandable main apps folder (“panel” from LLX Alpha)
– Vertically scrolling panel for widgets
– Multiple folders for categorizing apps
– Elegant Clock created solely with LLX Dynamic Text(!!)
– 3 different clocks in horizontally scrolling panel (NOTE: Josh Gray mentioned this also, just borrowed the great idea!!)
– Different Styles though loadable settings: Holo Light and Dark backgrounds; borders light, dark, Holo blue/magenta/red/orange/green
– Portrait only for now, did not have time to arrange in landscape (but will, have ideas)
– Works with any wallpaper
– Icons are all Android developer icons, thus free
All widgets used in the “Widgets” panel are purely for demonstration purpose, not included in theme!
Enjoy…
Whatever the contest brings, I think this one I’ll try to publish as APK soon.
Urgent question (not sure wether it really is a bug) to Pierre Hébert regarding inheritance in panels.
What I found: If I define folders’ background and borders at desktop level, changes apply immediately to every folder. But if I move a folder to a (new) panel, settings are kept at first. But changes at desktop level (“Folder windows”) to borders do not apply to these folders; however changes to background color do.
How is it supposed to work? Will settings inherit or is it currently a coinsidence?
It would be great if all “box” settings would inherit from desktop to folders in panels. Also in panel’s settings there are no “folder windows” options.
]]>Would it be possible in app drawer to implement auto-categorization?
What version should we target?
Also I found an obstacle: adding a Go to Desktop and Position majorly failed when loaded on a device with not only different resolution but also different aspect ratio. Hoped LL(X) would take care of that and transform the coordinates.
Third thing: should the theme be more some sort of a feature showcase or a basic desktop pretty much usable from start for new users? I’m working on the later one, thinking a theme demonstrating as much features as possible should be downloadable as some kind of tutorial, but not a default theme. This might frighten new users.
]]>Would it be possible to support sensors in addition to gestures?
I’m thinking of the following:
– flick the device to the right: open the sidebar
– flick it to the left: sidebar closes
– flick it down: app drawer opens
I hope you get the idea. Would be AWESOME and one really unique feature (…not that LL already has gazillions of unique features…).
