Hey guys,

just to let you know:

Currently I'm hardly working on the implementation of custom categories and I think I got finally the idea how to implement it well to fit into the app concept. So I hope I can soon provide a big update.

Yeah...

I'm struggeling with the categories at the moment. Until now I was not able to find a convenient way to integrate them without breaking the fast loading. So I need a bit more time to finish the next version.
(Also I was quite busy the last week in my real life)

As soon as I managed it I will a test release here in this forum without customizing capabilities but with categories for testing. If this test will be successful the next official release is not far away.

Hope you could be a little more patient.

Thanks.

    Hey guys,

    I want to show you my first app "Exquisite Drawer" which I have just released to Play Store.

    You can get it right here:

    Lite Version: Exquisite Drawer Lite
    Pro Version: Exquisite Drawer Pro


    You want to know which changes made it recently to the app?
    Here you go. Changelog in Post #2



    This app I wanna share with you is a replacement for your standard App Drawer.
    Now you might think:

    "What the heck? Nobody needs this since every phone has already an App Drawer"

    And you are right. But then. Go into your apps and look......

    Does it look good? Really?


    I don't think so. And this is the reason why I created Exquisite Drawer.

    What is different with this app? Why would you want to download?

    That's a good question. To answer this let me show you some screenshots:

    From these Images you can get a lot of information what the app is able to do but I will list the main features here:

    - Change Colors of Text and Background individually (so there is no dependency on other elements)
    - Enable or Disable sertain UI Elements for your liking (such as Actionbar or Titlestrip)
    - Change Textsizes
    - Use system or inbuilt font


    Also you have the ability to display two different images within Exquisite Drawer.
    One on top of the Applist and the other below.
    So every time you want to launch an app you will see your favourite image.
    The best thing about this is that those images do not affect your workflow since they scroll out of view.

    Another exciting Feature is the inbuilt Theme-Switcher. For now there are 6 different designs which can be applied by only one click. At the end of this Post you will see them all.


    What else to mention?

    The lite version is a stripped down version of the app.
    But you get a bunch of features over there too:

    - Theme Chooser
    - Change background color of Titlestrip
    - Change fontsize of Titlestrip
    - Hide Applicationicons
    - Hide Actionbar
    - Enable/disable Headerimage and/or Footerimage
    - Choose a custom picture
    - Choose side of Navigationdrawer


    What are the pro only features?

    - Use a custom Font from your sd-card
    - Change background and font color of Actionbar, Applist, Navigationdrawer
    - Change Textsize of Applist and Navigationdrawer
    - Disable various Itemdividers


    When I say you can change the color you propably thing about a list of predefined Colors which you can choose from.
    But this is not the truth.
    Infact you can choose any color you can imagine.

    This screenshot shows the Colorpicker:

    The same for Fontsizechanger which can be choosen incrementally.


    So this was a quite long post. And when you reach this point I wanna thank you. Now there are only some Images to come. At first you will see the whole bunch of settings which are available and after that you will see all of the available Designs.
    I hope you like it.

    ok having to write this all again cause it failed previously and message disappeared :(

    anyways i wasn't really expecting anything special when i came here but was curious to see what it was about. so i decided to take it for a quick test drive and i must say im pretty impressed. even considering that it was just a lite version an all lol

    the theme options are pretty cool even on their own. (pro allows more color/customizing of course). i was digging the simplistic black n white look too! also like the long hold app option that allows you to go pro, launch app, show app in play store and uninstall app. nice job there!! although i was slightly curious why purple rain & black n white theme didn't have these options?

    overall was working smooth, don't remember coming across any bugs which is very good!! couldn't test battery life cause only used for a short period but im pretty sure it wouldn't have affected it much!

    well want to say, keep doing what your doing dev! thumbs up from me!! :good:;)

    Will there be support for icon packs?

    This is definitively on my To Do list. But I actually don't know when it will be available. The next thing I am working on is to improve the overall performance and loading process. When this is ready for primetime I will implement new features such as:

    - custom Categories
    - hiding Apps (with a special feature ;))
    - Exporting and Importing Designs
    - Iconpack support

    and many other things.


    Thank you for your suggestion.

    Also to everybody:

    If you feel that anything is missing just write me. Also when you think that some strings should be improved just say something and I will look into it.
