Need some assist with stop points. I’m having a difficult time wrapping my brain around the new changes.
My current desktop has slides set up to the left and right screens from the home screen.
I want to setup scrolling stop points so that I can hide a toggle widget off the top of my main screen. I want to flick down to show the toggle widget and then flick up to hide it.
I want to apply stop points so that it doesn’t scroll past the widget when I flick down. Also, when it is showing, I want to be able to block any left or right sliding.
I’m pretty certain this can be done with the new changes to the stop points, but I can’t wrap my brain around how to do it.
]]>My first Lightning Launcher try.
My first Lightning Launcher try. Seeing some of the cool stuff gerd reuter keeps posting using LL Extreme inspired me to give it a go. It’s got a steep learning curve, so I know mine isn’t as functionally cool as Gerd’s are, but I am pleased with it nonetheless.
Apps:
Lightning Launcher Extreme (5×8 desktop)
Zooper Widget Pro
Popup Widget Pro
Media Utilities
Power Toggles
Tasker
Features:
– Quick access to your phone, messaging, mail, browser, and app drawer whether the slider is closed or open.
– Quick Weather View with tap link to your favorite weather app.
– Notifications for missed calls, SMS, and GMails.
From the bottom of the main homescreen:
– My daily MOTD widget popup that I’m still building (in this case, it displays a daily bible verse, and will be customizable in final release).
– A calendar widget popup. I am still working on some design elements to make it more interactive (ie, select different months and years).
– A custom media player popup built on the MU GA framework.
Hidden Shortcuts
– Sliding open the slider to initial stop point reveals the background and any shortcuts you want to hide from the desktop.
– You will also find shortcut links to the camera and gallery (hidden so you don’t inadvertently access either app while the phone is in your pocket).
– Indicators: Bluetooth connection indicator, battery status/level, and WiFi status that changes to cell status when WiFi is disconnected.
– Sliding the slider past the stop point reveals the toggle bar. Since Power Toggles doesn’t have a vertical bar available, I am building a vertical bar using single bar widgets (or in Zooper and Tasker – depends on how ambitious I feel).
Feel free to comment – the good, the bad, the ugly.
