[Q] Launcher design

[DrDee]

I have been thinking about a launcher design for a while and I thought I might ask if it is possible.

The idea is that there is no app drawer as such.
Home screens are swiped left and right as per normal with the addition that you can also swipe up to get at additional home screens (think of the Sony PS/PSP interface).
So you would have parent home screens each with its own daughter screen underneath.
So you could set up a home screen with your favourite games, then swipe up to get its daughter home screen with *all* your games.
I guess in a way it would be like having a swipe up app drawer for each home screen but the daughter screens are not limited to just app icons, they could be treated just like two rows of home screens.

God! Am I making any sense?

Perfect sense and it sounds cool. And yes I am sure its possible to make with the right expertise, but if you have little/no experience try starting with basic apps and basic launcher builds, you'll find plenty of source codes for these and then just keep working your way in to it
Best of luck!

Yea thanks, pretty sure there was a portal post about a customisable launcher, will see if I can work my way through it.
I am a graphic designer so there is little hope of me making too much progress in building an app lol!
