Im using Lightning v14.3 on my S24 Ultra which runs Android 14 and i havent had any problems. Im sure theres some with features i dont use but for me its been fine, using it since it was delivered on the 27th last month.

JayM

Ah I thought that might be what was up.

Can someone sort out the formatting please.

JayM

Not really a feature suggestion but if/when theres a new release this could do with updating straight away, it's said "Lightning Launcher on Google+ " for years (even though it does actually link to here). People are probably just reading that knowing G+ is gone and and probably don't even think to ...

JayM

Awesome and congrats on the 100th post

JayM

Still using in 2023 on Android 13 :D

I had a feeling Pierre had left the Android scene like, im very curious what he's using now though. Surely he hasn't switched to IOS 🤔

JayM

Have you checked you didn't enable the lock setting?

JayM

It's probably just an Android limitation probably to do with images using a lot of memory, holla back if you figure it out though. Maybe try knocking it down to half that amount.

JayM

It hasn't been updated in about a year so you should really expect it to be buggy, newer Android versions haven't actually been tested by the developer. Were does it say the scripting language is Java? Android classes can be used which makes it possible to use stuff like webviews, buttons, imageview...

JayM

scrolling transitions have been done before using scripts so yeah probably possible to do open app transitions the same way.

JayM

Sounds like a cool idea, if it is possible I think you would need a 14 page setup and every page would need at least 1 item. none of them should be blank/empty

About the Sunday thing I've seen that before quite a few times, mostly in calendar apps and I always thought it was weird.

JayM

I don't know either but I know there's a variable editor script so maybe that can delete em. https://www.lightninglauncher.com/wiki/ ... ble_editor

JayM

:/ just tested it worked fine for me are you sure you set it up right?

JayM

item.setVerticalGrab(true);

lowercase i in item

I had a gut feeling that was the case.. Is there by chance a preferred way to report bugs or is Lightning Launcher just without any support at this point?

I think the dev prefers them to be reported here but yeah it's pretty much without support at this point.

JayM

Probably won't be fixed anytime soon, this place is dead

JayM

Figured it out its s.iconEffectScale

JayM

I noticed a while ago that after applying an icon pack a lot of my icons have the inner scale knocked down to 60% I prefer them to be at 100% but changing them one at a time is a PITA selecting no item and changing the inner scale seems to ignore them so I thought I'd have a go at writing a script t...

JayM

bindClass("android.app.WallpaperManager"); bindClass("android.app.AlertDialog"); bindClass("android.content.DialogInterface"); bindClass("android.widget.LinearLayout"); bindClass("android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams"); bindClass("android.widget.Button"); bindClass("android.view.View"); var VARI...

JayM

This script pulls colors from your wallpaper and let's you choose 1 to set as box background colors on any items that you tell it to.

Script in post #2

JayM

Still can't get transparency to work but I'm not giving up yet and I'm gonna upload the script before I lose it. I made a couple changes to its appearance so more of the desktops visible and easier to use, simply edit line 11 with your variables name. Uploaded here if you wanna try it out https://co...

JayM

here's a look at the new version hopefully I can get the transparency working.

JayM

So when trying to change an apps icon a lot of icon packs don't display any icons in the icon picker and some don't even show up in the list of installed packs :/ I thought it would be nice to compile a list of icons that do. I will try and keep this post updated with any new packs I find, if anyone...

JayM

this video the dev made might help, he uses bindings to move an item https://youtu.be/JgVZ9pxz_XI

Binding documentation is here https://www.lightninglauncher.com/wiki/ ... d=bindings

JayM

I got into it when the dev added scripting to the launcher so my skills are pretty basic, it doesn't support transparency because I couldn't figure out how I'd go about doing it from what I read here https://gist.github.com/lopspower/03fb1cc0ac9f32ef38f4 I'd just need to swap the first 2 characters ...

JayM

Cool, i made a quick update to the script so it can also pull color from the wallpaper for now it only gets the dark muted color because I found this to work the best for my setup and tbh the community's kinda dead so didn't think many people would be using it anyways, but it's easy to modify to get...

JayM

Yeah this has been around a while it really needs fixing, as far as I'm aware the only way we can fix this is to clear data on the app

JayM

You can make the menu part easily just by using a sidebar that displays from the top of the screen, the hard part is getting the sidebar to display at the right time and the item selector thingymajig (glowing green line in video), with script it's possible to move an item using a drag gesture and i ...

JayM

load up script editor and paste this code LL.setVariableString("mycolor", "c:" + LL.pickColor("Set Background Color", 0xffffffff, true)); Now go into the bindings tab for each item you want to use this color and add a new binding set the property to box and value to $mycolor. The box property syntax...

JayM

Pierre said before (many moons ago in the G+ days) it's to do with the way the icon packs display there icons. FWIW Oreo square and nougat square from A1 design work in Lightning I've been using Oreo square for many moons now I gave up looking for new packs after installing about 20 and finding only...

JayM

It does my head in having to keep nova installed just for that 1 thing, yeah sesame shortcuts would be a game changer for sure. Last time I tried ADW it didn't have any of that il have to check it out.

JayM

there was a script for alphabet sections but I can't find it, there's a script for a scrollbar here https://www.lightninglauncher.com/wiki/ ... repository

JayM

Looks like a 2 page setup page 2 is home theres panels on page 1 and there all positioned on the right side of the page. On page 2 theres text items positioned on the left side of page 2 in line with the panels, page 2 also has a pinned item on the right side. Scrolling the desktop brings page 1 (pa...

JayM

The video was just to make things a bit more clearer.

JayM

Cheers but I cant get this to work it's still detecting scrolling on the main panel :/

JayM

i think i might just be trying to use them to do something there not designed to do there's a barrier setting though so i think its possible. Im trying to recreate this drawer from action launcher https://community.lightninglauncher.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=33 The screenshot should give you a better ...

JayM

What features of other launchers do people like and wish Lightning had? im mostly just curious but maybe with scripts we can bring some of those features to Lightning. Here's a few things i like Action Launcher Navigation drawer alphabet strip thing The Navigation drawers Quick theme (pulls colours ...

JayM

Does anyone actually know how to use these? i think i sort of understand them because i've used them to do a few simple things but then il get an idea that im pretty sure needs stop points to work, but when setting them up i find i don't have a clue what im doing because my idea never works. Looking...

JayM

So i was mooching through the forum and came across this post https://community.lightninglauncher.com/viewtopic.php?t=100 i had to restart the launcher myself a few days ago and i did it using a shortcut, totally forgot it can be done with 1 line of code. Anyways best way to do this IMO is open the ...

JayM

no idea how that happened or how to prevent it your the only person this has happened to, well on here you are anyways but i don't remember anyone ever mentioning it on G+ either. Im guessing this is one of them bugs that probably isn't fixable without being able to reproduce it.

JayM

ah i see thanks for the info

JayM

try this https://www.lightninglauncher.com/wiki/ ... background

JayM

3. that should be possible by editing the box propertys of that row of icons you can add margins/padding this is only possible in the my drawer layout.

JayM

I think i might of found a bug in the new tap outside folder to close feature. steps to reproduce 1. add a folder to the desktop and put something in it (untested without) 2. tap on the folder icon and the folder opens (as expected) 3. tap it again and it closes (as expected) now turn on tap outside...

JayM

did you actually add the badges to the launcher? To add a multitool badge long press your desktop press + then plugins then badge then select the apps you want. Once the badge is placed you can customize it like any other object. this thread might help https://community.lightninglauncher.com/viewtop...

JayM

yeah same here

JayM

try this it lets you set badges for all apps

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .multitool

JayM

I've never tried this but there's a script in the wiki to use any container as an app drawer. IIIRC its also in the multitool plugin.

JayM

if your phones rooted why not just disable the stock launcher or better yet convert lightning to a system app, if this is still possible to do these days.
