Window

Window is another great feature in Total launcher.
Briefly to say, it is a "pop-up (floating) page". You can pop it up on anywhere of the screen with a shortcut or a gesture. It is able to be open even from another app supporting to launch a shortcut. To do this, just create a window and customize it in the same manner as the page. Please watch the following video to know how to create, resize and customize a window.

Making a pop-up (floating) app drawer

To change the position or size of the window, long-press on empty area of the window or press the edit button on the top of the screen. There are a lot of options for a window which are able to be accessed with the options button on the bottom-left of the screen while the window is in resize mode.

1. Window options

- Open alone : Close all windows and folder currently opened before opening this window.

- From bottom : Uses Y-position based on the bottom of the screen.

- Full height : Fits the window bottom to the screen bottom. When the "From bottom" option is on, it fits the window top to the screen top.

- Background : Background of the window.

- Stretch background to window size : Stretches the background image to fit the window size ignoring the original aspect ratio of the image. When this option is off, the background image is crop to fit the window size keeping the aspect ratio of the image.

- Show shadow : Enables the shadow effect around the window.

- Gesture to close : Select a gesture to close the window.

- Action on open : Set an action to invoke when the window is just open.

- Delay of action on open : Delay in milliseconds to invoke the action on open.

Action on close : Set an action to invoke when the window gets closed.

Delay of action on close : Delay in milliseconds to invoke the action on close.


The following video shows how to customize window background.

Several great options are added for window and page from the version 1.3.4 of Total launcher:

 - "Action on open" / "delay of action on open" for window.
 - "Touchable behind" in animation & UI options.

These options leveled up creating dynamical UI. Let's watch the following video how the options work.

2. Window animation

The animations of opening or closing of a window are able to be customized in the "animation" tab on the right side of the window options. These options are defining the animations for the window. If you want to make some animations for individual objects on the window, refer to Animations of object.

Create a Backup for Current Layouts and Settings

Total launcher provides powerful backup and restore features through the Backup Center. The Backup Center can be accessed from the menu or the Launcher options. Click the "+ button" at the bottom to create a backup, and all data including the currently set layout, options, folders, and tags will be saved. To restore the created backup, click the backup name. Uncheck (default) the box below to restore the folders and tags at the time of backup creation. If checked, the current folders and tags will be maintained. When the backup is restored, third-party shortcuts or widgets will need to be reconfigured. This is because the actual data for the shortcuts or widgets is on the third-party app side, and Total launcher cannot save them when backing up. * Important Information * All backups are stored in the app storage, so if you uninstall the app or reset the app's data, they will all be erased! Therefore, to keep your backups safe, use the "Export backup" function. Y...
