Ok i will try it with 1.1.19 and report if it works.

Ok, first report:
The taskbar looks not very good, see screen shot of the home page.
The programs page is very hard to scroll, it overshoots always and one has to scroll up and down to get to the program. One can only scroll over the program tabs and also to stop scrolling, so it is very often the case that a program is unwanted launched. It would be better if there was the possibility to scroll on the side of the program tabs.
On the other pages the regular windows taskbar is shown.
That is all for the moment... i am still playing with it. I love the look of this theme, really. Thanks for this.

thanks for the fb - the artifacts could be a result of the rom you are using. i have had that appear once or twice since upgrading to 6.5 but it does tend to disappear?

Yes you were right, it has disappeared now.
I sense a bigger battery drain, but i am not sure if it is due to TL itself.
Also i think the sliding from one page to the next or the opening of a page through the buttons could be a bit faster.
Otherwise this theme just rocks.

Are you DaceC?
This theme is amazing and your best work, I tested on my Imagio and it works very good.
I always recommend to use Standalone mode with TL instead of plugin today, it works better.
congratulations!!

Yes I am DaveC ironically I hadn't intended to get so involved with TL when I registered so decided to use mix up my name. Now im stuck with two names.
I have never actually tried standalone mode - will have to give it a go.

While I am not personally a fan of the theme style, I must say that I am impressed. Very good job sir. Keep it up!

If you are using stanalone mode, just delete the "Background" path if you have one.

you have to go into the subsystems and hailing freqencies and set to vibrate or sound off at the moment.
i could probably add a switch to the config file that will mute the theme sounds but not the phone sounds for 1.1

Go to ThrottleConfig then click on "theme-standalone-Background" be sure is empty if not click on the text and leave it in blank.

If you are running as a today page try in standalone.
What device resolution are you using? i think for thr W version I could space the icons out a little more but in the mean time you can press and hold to scroll up or down in blocks without it actually selecting the item you have pressed.

I have the same device as you Omnia i900, WQVGA.
Ok scrolling like that works better.
I have seen that sometimes i have to restart TL as it becomes sluggish and unresponsive.
Will try to use as standalone, i only need to see how to exit TL programatically, as i use a switcher to switch between Titanium, TouchFLO, MobileShell and TL.

that must make for a huge memory overhead

[Q] Clean home screen

Hello
Purchased my Galaxy note several days ago.
I'd like to know if it's possible to make or 'create' a home screen without any widgets and/or shortcuts. I just want to see my wallpaper on it. In case need a shortcut I'd like to switch to another homescreen where i've configured the shortcuts I need.
Thanks in advance!

Sure, it's possible.

Yes, of course you can! You are allowed upto 7 homscreens in the default Touchwiz UI. All you have to do is select one which has no widgets or shortcuts and have it as your default screen. You can also manually delete widgets and shortcuts by holding the widget and dragging it to the bottom of the screen (dustbin icon).

To preview all your homescreens pinch inwards (similar to pinch to zoom out)..

If you want a completely clean screen, you may have to use another launcher. I use ssLauncher, and it can do that. Others can too, I am sure.

Actually, you can get rid of them. Just tap on applications button from home screen (bottom right button) > menu button > edit > slide bottom buttons away and voila
If you do this, make sure at least the applications button is somewhere on another home screen.
Don't think it's very practical, though.

At this point I have 2 homescreens left. One with the application button at the bottom and the widgets and shortcuts I use most and one with only my wallpaper but still the application button visible at the bottom. As you can understand I want to get rid of the application bottom at the last mentioned homescreen, but that doesn't seem to work. Tapping on the application button the application menu opens, but the application button then is no longer visible and it is changed in the homepage-button.

you might want to look into the app called SwipePad
its awesome for minimalistic homescreen with LOTS of options for quick app access

Thanks for the tip....but I'd prefer to accomplish this without installing an app that changes my lay-out and graphics and also changes it to English. I don't have problems with this language, but I'm Dutch, so I want my phone keep it that way.

[Q] How to change what main apps are showing at the bottom of the screen in ICS?

Hi guys,
Probably simple one but buggered if I can see it....
Have just upgraded to ICS via Kies (think I got one of the early german handsets that Expansys were selling before UK launch).
I can't seem to find how to change the main apps that are permanently showing at the bottom of the screen. I'm sure before I could just drag and drop them from main screen to menu bar.
Thanks
Sorry Mods... just realised posted in wrong section please delete

tap menu button, then edit..then drag

Thats what its used to be on Gingerbread but when I do it now all I get is the 6 homescreens showing as little screenshots which can be dragged in the Remove trash can below.

Change display aplication menu.

Hey there, i have a moto x 2014 and i was happy until yesterday when the display icon on menu app change, it change between on screen slide left to right and right to left but today it was like a long list from top to bottom. I search in internet and ask to many people and nobody can tell me where is the option to turn the menu back, even i contact the motorola support and they can't do too. So i ask for help in the most big forum that i know.
I have android 5.0.1 and not install any program in the last time, i am sure this is a configuration problem.
The next images are took from internet and i add figures to understand.

oi59.tinypic.com/2s6mw5y.jpg

[SOLVED] How to bring back vertical recently opened apps display?

Galaxy A71, Android 12, One UI = 4.1. When I first got my Galaxy A71, the recent apps button showed a vertical stacked overlapping list of my recent open apps. This was great. For some reason, this display was replaced by a horizontal slide list that only shows 1 open app at a time. How to go back to the vertical stacked overlapping list of open apps?
Can a custom launcher do this?
See the left side of the top pic to see the open app display I want. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/11/android-5-0-lollipop-thoroughly-reviewed/6/

Try using Good Lock (or NiceLock) + the Home Up module. It should let you customize the recents style (called Task Changer inside Home Up)
