The best thing is to just play with it. To make a dock bar, add the "app group", edit it to 1 row and 7 columns. Add the apps you want, adjust icon size, move it wherever you want, and then pin it to all your pages.

Nice find. Pretty good. Coming from my heavily customized Nova Launcher this is light, refreshing and efficient.

Hi folks;
I stumbled upon this launcher last week. Used it all weekend and really like it. Extremely light and fast and unbelievably customizable.
Released by ChYK, the author of sslauncher. It's still in beta, so there are some bugs. I think you will like it.

The reason it is not possible

Too bad, you can not edit it?

Please let me tell why it is not possible.
The vertically scrolling view like app group or app drawer is reuse the child view (for item) while scrolling to increase the scrolling performance (smoothness). That is, the child view scrolled off will be reused for appearing item because it is exactly same for all items. Now let's think the situation that a different widget are in there. The widget is absolutely different view from the others so it must be recreated whenever it appears as scrolling. This will cause lags.

Lightning Launcher Extrem has an Option for sliding Folders with horizontal or vertikal scrolling and it works great. It´s also for Apps, Shortcuts and Widgets.

And the other big problem, notifications don´t work. Gmail, Outlook, Telegram and so on. Only the Messenger works.

Please remember that this is a beta. There is a lot of work yet to be done. Also, email notifications works.

Maybe, it is not a list view, which reuses child views, but a vertical scroll view, which creates all child views in memory.

    The launcher is really great and u can do almost everything but it lacks the possibility to close pop-up windows through gestures instead of using the back button. That would be a cool add to the program :)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    You can do it. Try to find "close the topmost window/folder" in launcher actions.

    But for some app i can' t. For example the apps in the screenshots. Perhaps you could use the same method of selecting apps as in the folders or app groups. So we could select which apps should get a notification.

    I'm currently considering to add an option to filter the notification count.

    Love the customizability of Total Launcher, but don't understand its security measures.

    As far as I can tell, however, you can't firmly stay in Total Launcher - often you have to 're-choose' it.
    And if it's that easy to get out of it (really, it's hard to just STAY IN IT consistently), what's the point of password protected and hidden apps and so forth? Anyone who wanted to get to those apps would just do it outside of Total Launcher.

    Is this wrong? Can one establish TL more firmly as the GUI for the phone?
