Developing Theme

Welcome!


Here are three approaches to collaborate with Total launcher!

I would like to start a theme business with Total launcher.


Great! It will be a big chance to success for both of your business and Total Launcher. You need to make your own theme picker application for it. Please read this document, which shows how to make your theme picker and theme packages with some example projects.


I wanna publish just a few themes for Total launcher.


Just make your theme packages. You don't need make your theme picker. If you want, however, I can add a link to download your theme package into my theme picker named "ChYK's Theme Collections". This will be very helpful to increase the download of the theme package. Please read this document to know how to make a stand-alone theme package.


I'm just an icon pack developer.


You can make your icon pack support Total launcher with the following codes. Please let me know after making it support TL. I will add your icon pack into the list of recommended icon pack list in this site.


Intent intent;
intent = new Intent("com.ss.launcher2.ACTION_APPLY_ICONPACK");
ComponentName cmp = ComponentName.unflattenFromString(
                    "com.ss.launcher2/.ApplyThemeActivity");
intent.setComponent(cmp);
intent.putExtra("com.ss.launcher2.EXTRA_ICONPACK",
                "[your package name]");
startActivity(intent);

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.
