LLX DualEdge

LLX DualEdge

Went ahead and made a blue one and a red one, with matching lockscreens. They are both included as desktops. Delete the one you don’t want. Nothing fancy but functionally minimal.

Thanks once again to Chris sledge for his awesome UCCW clock skin, blatantly and liberally used here.

Keep in mind this was made on my 480×800 device!

In light of the ability to allow items to rotate in place when switching from portrait to landscape…

I think it would make sense to allow separate portrait/landscape positioning of items even when desktop is locked in portrait.

Is this feasible? At this point that’s all that is preventing a successful dual mode layout.

I think another way to achieve the desired effect would be an option to just lock wallpaper into portrait or landscape, even when desktop is not locked.

Edit:

That may be the most logical method, because really my main reason to lock in portrait is just to keep the wallpaper from screwing up. It’s hard to make a wallpaper that “works” on both portrait and landscape.

Stop Points –

Stop Points –

What do you guys think about color coding stop points?

For instance, one color for barrier, one for desktop wide, one for both, one for neither.

Would this be useful, or just more confusing?

Comments?

Strange behavior when editing a panel within a panel.

Easier to explain with video.

Steps:

Edit Layout , desktop

Edit Layout, panel 1

Edit Layout, panel 2

Exit edit layout mode

Strange behavior

Restart launcher

I have a shortcut at top of screen to restart launcher, which I press after demonstrating bug to restore normal appearance.

Also,

Is the black panel, upon selection intended? Or is this another 2.3 transparency issue?

Android 2.3.7

I think I have narrowed this down…

The issue of panel contents position not sticking:

This may be a memory issue, but I have found that using the geometry adjustments, panel contents position keeps reverting. When manually repositioning (difficult because item “swells” by way of animation) the position sticks.

TopTab LS

TopTab LS

Screens do not scroll… You tap the tabs at top.

FYI:

Home screen clock scrolls up to show your music app widget.

Photo page widget is Simple Photo Widget.

Tools page widgets are from Android Tuner (awesome root app).

Misc page widget is Beautiful Widgets.

Mostly the same as the old TopTab, except:

Updated to include Lockscreen, themed app drawer and more scrolling panels for your apps.

Lockscreen clock, date and battery are dynamic text built in to LLX. Weather and calender reminder are Minimalistic Text widget.

Swipe up or right on thumbprint to unlock.

Long press in empty area shows Notification bar, tap empty area shows Notification pane (as in all my templates).

Scrollable folders that swipe open from left and right on any screen.

Dock icons are custom transparent and embossed, by me. All other icons are stock.

No wallpaper (hopefully saving a little memory!)

Designed on a 480×800 device so your mileage may vary.

In BOX, the Margin segment doesn’t highlight to indicate that it is selected. Function works fine, however.

Some one has mentioned this before (maybe gerd reuter?) But I would like to re-state…

Is it possible to have gestures (most particularly “empty spot” functions) be allowed per individual desktop only?

Currently it seems to be a global setting.

Thanks for your work Pierre Hébert
