Launcher Modular

syper

Thank you for your ideas I would look at what is possible to do.
Thanks also for the donations.

This launcher is really good and with the round icons the launcher looks incredibly great. I also use it as my standard launcher and I hope it will be further developed in the future.
Unfortunately some tabs like the news are not working for me.

syper

@Invy Have you installed the SimplestRSS application to put your news in an rss feed?
https://open-store.io/app/simplestrss.kazord

The purpose of the launcher is to operate using data from other applications.

Invy

@syper Thanks for the advice. My mistake. With SimplestRSS the News-Tab is working fine now.

Just an idea:
as the app drawer on Unity 8 is lightning fast and handy to slide in from the left - wouldn't it be more convenient to remove the app drawer from Launcher Modular and just leave the start page plus the rss and calendar pages - then the experience would be close to my all-time favourite meego on the Nokia N9 plus a kind of 'widget page' so maybe we could get the best of three worlds and still an unique approach

@elastic
We are looking to have more flecibility on the display of applications and therefore be able to hide them if the user wishes.
that comes close to your idea.

Laucher that looks realy great, exactly what i searched, will wait for an update of it to use as it seems not quite compatible with my system (not able to add image scope to default one for me for exemple, launcher crash)

Just one question, i still tested it and didn't managed to get this beautifull transparency working :
text alternatif

How can i do that? I tried the options but nothing get me there.

EDIT : bon je viens de voir que t'es français (je m'en doutais un peu vu le nom/prénom), alors je te dis merci pour tes efforts, ton application est très jolie, j'espère pouvoir m'en servir rapidement pour remplacer ce fade launcher de base avec ses deux pov'scopes, encore pire que le launcher canonical lol.

@Keneda Peut tu me joindre par Telegram ? sur le groupe FR ? ce sera plus facile pour savoir ce qui ne va pas chez toi et résoudre le soucis.

Can you reach me via Telegram? on the FR group? it will be easier to find out what's wrong with you and resolve the concerns.

Keneda

@syper j'vais causer anglais pour que ça soit "universel" lol

Ok so i've tested more and found that the problem came from system settings, i changed background and then transparancy worked fine.

However i could talk you about other things.

I never used telegram, what group exactly i must join, how to find you there?

@stanwood

I've just updated to OTA-12 and there is the default dash launcher again. I tried to reactive Launcher modular and it didn't help. I tried to reinstall Launcher modular and it didn't help. The default dash launcher is awful. How can I active Launcher modular on OTA-12? Because Launcher modular I like it very much.

Keneda

@petrmasek
You can't replace "default dash launcher" with LM now, just launch LM and use it like any app.

Keneda

@syper
Are you still working on LM?

syper

@Keneda Yes but it's hard to get a replacement for the default dash.

Not a breaking problem for now, just make your launcher app greater and bug free (i.e. i still have crash when trying add image page) :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Talking about that i noticed you just apdated it, v0.1.8, but last changelog on open store is for v0.1.7, could you update?

Edit : Wow just seen that you made possible add custom icon for "url website", "terminal command", and "launch app"!
If you can add a file/folder option to that (for exemple i'd like to make a quick file acces for my work planning ods file) it would be great.

Edit 2 : Saw that you made it possible to change scaling of icons, awesome!
That would be great that for the apps you make it possible to deactivate them on home page, and add an app page, for those who want separate widgets and apps.

Anyway take needed time to keep up that wonderfull work!

The publication comes directly from Brian Douglas so indeed the changelog does not arrive at the same time sorry.

For quick access to files it is an excellent idea !!!

For the image page indeed there is a bug which only concerns certain devices (I don't understand why ...)

For the deactivation of the icons it is in progress;)

Is there any log that could help you?

syper

Maybe you can always send it to me, I'll watch.

OTA 12 ?

Thank you for your continued work on Launcher Modular!
