Great module.. I was hoping the transparency thing can overwrite those activated within GravityBox.. Really don't like it when in Walkman, the status bar is in black and the nav bar is transparent.. Looking forward to further customizations, if there are any..:)

Love the module so far but the status bar isn't transparent while gravity box is enabled im not sure if it works when gravity box is disabled and also is it possible for you to mod the app drawer folders to follow the rows and colums for when its changed from the stock 4x5 layout.
Edit: another request if possible could you make the reflection more visible if the stage is hidden in the home drawer if your not sure what i mean i can send you a screenshot

All, thanks for the feedback!

the status bar isn't transparent while gravity box is enabled im not sure if it works when gravity box is disabled

Try to configure GravityBox as shown in the screenshots below and let me know if it helps.

is it possible for you to mod the app drawer folders to follow the rows and colums for when its changed from the stock 4x5 layout.

Sure, will do.

could you make the reflection more visible if the stage is hidden in the home drawer if your not sure what i mean i can send you a screenshot

Yes, a screenshot would be nice.

Works perfect, just what I wanted to hide in the Xperia original theme the dock stage and dock reflections. Thanks!

@greg2001 another request if possible is there any chance of the nav and status bar going the same colour as the dark transparent background that gets used when you open a folder on the home screen like in the attached picuploadfromtaptalk1389298964501.jpg

Greg i think this module would have a really good use been incorporated into the settings on the existenz rom that is made by niaboc79 i think if you talked to him he would let you make a modded version of his settings apk or you could let him port your code into it himself as he is a very friendly and a awesome dev too.

    An ideea to enable and disable text labels from dock icons? ( smth like the ics xperia launcher ) , or the ability to choose from different docs like from other xperia launchers you know. What do you think?

    @greg2001: I know, that this is in GravityBox. But It would be cool, if you could add the "Close all" button for recent apps also in your mod incl. placement of the button (down left, down right....). This "Close all" is the only reason I use GravityBox.

    I'll put both on my list.

    BTW, right now I'm working on a (imho) pretty cool feature (see screenshots). What do you guys think?

    I.noticed that when im press the home button from an app in landscape mode thw launcher gets messy and I've to kill xperia home to get back in right portrait mode(I've seen locked the home in portrait with appsettings xposed module since the launcher itself dont have an option to do that...)

    Yes, will check that.
