I decided I’d post all of this layout. It does not require root but does require some files copying.
Firstly it requires the “Push On” icon pack ($1.66au) : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esethnet.pushon
I have also used the drawable xhdpi file available in the long press help on folder backgrounds, and the file ‘ btn_default_normal_holo.9.png’ from within that. That page is here : http://www.pierrox.net/android/applications/lightning_launcher/help/topic.php?id=135&v=142
Each icon on the left opens a folder, all of which (except settings) use the same layout. The large icon in each is at 240%.
The only folder using a different layout is settings which has 2 more rows, and labels to the right.
Swipe up on the camera to open the images folder, and all apps to open settings>apps
Lastly you need the backup file, which is on my Google Drive here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3tmtJvTrQP3X0xWUVFvNHFyRlE/edit?usp=docslist_api
Copy the backup file to SDCard/lightning launcher.
Go to your ll settings Export/backup yours first 😭 and restore from backup.
Export the two styles..
1. Open the files folder and long press on a blank spot (title row is good) then save it’s style.
2. Do the same with the settings folder.
That way if you make a new folder you can import one of the two layouts depending on your preference.
The app drawer uses my preferred ‘2×9 raised tile’ layout.

Anyway I really like the way it looks, and if you do too, grab it.
Just a very small suggestion..
On the ‘box’ tab when customising an item, it would be lovely if there was a series of buttons to select specific parts.
I don’t know if it is necessary, but if I change the color of something I have to manually select the centre, then each of the 4 borders, then the margins.
Then I usually select the top and left border, make them lighter, and darken the right and bottom ones.
It would be nice if there were a series of buttons of to one side that selected these areas.. Even just one to select the borders (I find I often select a margin or padding section by accident).
Or be awesome if there was a button for each of the selections (margin, border, content, all) that toggled them (eg have top and left border selected, press the border button, and it deselects those 2 border items and selects right and bottom).
This would make editing ‘the box’ a lot easier, I believe. Discuss? 🙂

Each folder has the same settings, slide in on left, out to right, top aligned at about 60 pixels.
]]>I think this is a bug. Could be intended.
If I assign an action to a gesture on an icon, that is copied to the new icon if I copy styles.
Example on the ‘all apps’ icon, if I swipe up I have it set to open settings>apps.
I then have the hangouts app to open a folder for email, SMS etc on upward swipe.
If I copy the style from one icon to another, the action on swipe gesture is copied too..
So after copying the style from all apps to hangouts, hangouts opens settings>apps too.
I figure since the gestures are part of the style settings on the + tab, they’re getting copied at the same time.
So it’s sorta maybe a bug maybe a feature.
This is my preferred application drawer layout.
This is my preferred application drawer layout.
Font used is ‘Caviar Dreams’.
Grid is 2x9y.
Each item has
* a ten pixel margin
* three pixel borders at 50% transparency ..
** Top+left are white, right+bottom are black.
* Background is a 25% teal.
Personally I love the look. Would anyone else think this would be a nice default appearance for the application drawer?
It would definitely give LL a distinctive appearance for the drawer. Thoughts?
]]>Add a ‘close all folders and open folder <x>’ action?
For example I have bottom row of buttons that open separate folders. If I press button A then B, both folders appear on top of each other. I’d like it if I clicked button A, that all other folders closed, or is there another way to do this?
I really enjoy fiddling and exploring this launcher.
It would be really nice if instead of the current arrangement, there were internal names for these items like variables, and you use a format string.
Example:
Using text preceded with %symbols used like VB’s format string, or tasker variable names, you could just display %date to use the system format, or something like %dd %mmm %yyyyy to display 07 January 2014. The reason I suggest a % is so things like ‘Today is %mmm %d. You have %gmail unread and your battery is %batt full.’ could be entered as the format text.
I understand this is not a minor tweak but I think it would make the text elements a lot more flexible (they are good even so) and maybe from my not vast programming knowledge make handling and expanding them easier (eg adding one for signal strength would require a new variable name, rather than a new text element, but would need code to manage the value displayed either way)
