How to Customize Your Search Screen

 There are 2 types of search screens in Total launcher, which are open by the launcher actions: App search and Contact search. App search screen Many users often ask me how to customize the design of these screens. So, I'd like to explain how to do it here.  You should know first how the launcher action (ex: App search) works. When you invoke the launcher action, the launcher tries to search a most top app drawer widget. If the launcher has found an app drawer widget, it would be used to show the search results. Otherwise, it opens the built-in window with an app drawer in the screenshot. As you guess out now, since you cannot change the design of the built-in window, you should make a your own window instead. Here's the steps for the solution. 1. make a new window. 2. put an app drawer widget onto it. 3. customize the design of the window and the widget. 4. set "Action on open" to the launcher action (App search) in the window options. 5. open the window for your own

Released Version 2.9 with a New Design

Today, a new version of Total launcher was released with a new app design, which is a material design based on blue. I'm sure that the new design gives this app a more trendy look. Another big change is support for foldable devices". The concept of this feature is super simple. When the "Support foldable screen" option is enabled in Launcher options > Behavior, you can configure different layout designs for the folded and unfolded screens. This is the same way it works for different screen orientations. Please refer to the following link for details on the update. https://total-launcher.blogspot.com/p/update-history.html Thank you!

Transition Animation between 2 Objects is Amazing!

Today, new version (2.1) of Total launcher was released. This version contains a lot of new features as following: - supports transition animation between 2 objects on a page and a window or on 2 different windows - new launcher actions: brightness level, auto brightness, media volume level, auto-rotate screen - new widget: analog clock - added "item spacing" option for app group, app drawer, contact and layouts More than anything else, I'd like to introduce the feature of "transition animation". You can build a transition animation between 2 objects existing on different windows by setting the same "transition ID" for them. Here is the video for an example. I believe you can open a new world of animations with it.

New Total Launcher was Released!

After a long time struggling to find a right direction of developing TL, new version (v2.0) was released! I think this version will get more satisfactory to both of the power and casual users, since a big improvement is on there with the following features. 1. Layout There are 2 types of layout: Grid and Circle Layouts You can customize the number of items, backgrounds, the style of the icon and label and so on. Each item on a layout can be set totally 5 actions for tapping and 4 directions of swiping. A circle layout 2. Sequence Now you can invoke multiple actions at once with a sequence. For example, opening a few windows at once or set the brightness down and launch an ebook. An example of a sequence I have a plan to add more launcher actions like wifi on/off, adjusting volume or brightness in the future updates. 3. Enter/exit animations for each object When you come back to the launcher or open/close a window, each object on the page or window can
