Lightning Launcher- English
English
Josh Gray
Lightning is a blazing fast launcher that is customizable to the extreme.
\nIt\'s light on memory and never slows down.
\n
\nYou\'re not restricted to pages anymore. Instead, your desktop is a beautiful work of art on an infinite canvas.
\nThe possibilities are endless.
\n
\nMajor features include:
\n•Different layouts and grid sizes for both portrait and landscape orientation
\n•Panels, scrollable desktops on top of your current page
\n•The ability to pin items so they never move
\n•Box settings: customize the background color, borders, and margins of any item
\n•Free mode: A grid? What\'s that? Free mode gets rid of the lines, and allows for rotation of items
\n•Multiple desktop grids
\n•22 different gestures with 29 different actions (which can also be launched with shortcuts)
\n•Use one of your desktops as your lockscreen! (beta only)
\n•Stop points: tell Lightning when to stop scrolling
\n•Custom scroll directions
\n•Full control over any item, including:
\n1. text font, shadow and color
\n2. custom icons from your gallery, plus scale and inner scale
\n3. choose how close and what side your icon is to your label
\n4. box settings, with support for .9.png as the background (look this up. .9s are cool.)
\n5. transparency, and direction gestures to launch any action (ex. Swipe up on the Chrome Icon launches Dolphin Browser)
\n•Save your custom desktop to either a full backup or as a style option
\n•Export your setup as an APK
\n------
\nLightning does support transparency of the status and navigation bars available in KitKat.
\n------
\nAs with most power tools like Tasker and such, Lightning has a bit of a learning curve. But there\'s no other launcher which offers the power of Lightning.
\n
\nZap!

Exit edit mode
A page indicator displays the current page position in the desktop. By default this is item pinned and not clickable. Enter the edit layout mode first to change its style, color, etc.
A stop point is a tool to create custom scrolling scheme: the desktop will stop scrolling at stop points. Long tap on a stop point to edit its properties. Stop points are only visible in edit mode.
A bookmark saves the current position and scale of your desktop. Once the bookmark has been created you can move it anywhere else, tapping on it will automatically bring you back to the memorized desktop position. It works inside panels and folders too!
