Pop up widget. Don't know if I'll use this for ever but I'm enjoying it right now.
In essence it allows you to put shortcuts to widgets on it your home screen. When selected the widget appears with an attractive animation.
I have gone from six screens to one thanks to this app.
In theory it should mean that your device has more free memory and probably better battery.

Just fully stock (odexed) with some apps:
- LMT Launcher (Pie softkey)
- FullScreen Toggle (Hide stock softkey)
- Xposed (Easy to mod many things as long as you find the matching module, and it plays with both ODEXED and DEodexed!)
- Statusbar Clock Color Mod (An Xposed's module, use it to have a transparent status bar, clock's customized font and so on)

I don't think apps do that...that's more of an operating system thing...unless you search for some launchers on the Google play market....but don't forget to also download a launcher/home switcher if you want to use the previous launcher back again
but if you really want customizable features..you may need to get a custom ROM. thus rooting may be compulsory during the procedure

are there any launchers that can adopt the deafult icon placement system as the way it has been placed in the stock lik all my icons should b in the same order without me arranging it???
not sure what you mean by "default icon placement system" do you mean icons on the home screens?? if yes then I think you may have to re add them... have you heard of Go Launcher??? very famous..go see it in action maybe on YouTube if available....I think it's one of the most customizable and supports themes too

I agree. I like the options that ADW has for it's drawer...
Me three. That's the only thing it's missing.
We're planning on a complete overhaul of the app drawer, and hidden apps is definitely going to be included. :good:

Hey there Moley,
Good news is, the devs have been listening, and you can expect to get subtle changes (app drawer transparency, hidden apps, folders) in the next few updates :fingers-crossed:

That is good news can you also confirm that there is more weather provider being added which will have more weather condition icons as at the min there are only 9 day 9 night weather icons.
I have been talking to the team direct via email where I was told about this hopefully coming soon.

Yeah features like this are still being looked at, but we first want to improve on the other features (as seen in out latest update). We'll get there though!

One thing to make this update better.
In background transparency add the option to set a wallpaper as when entering app launched it moves all the widget in the background!
Like this

useful thread, was looking into this, thanks
What an issue
Like the addition of the hiding apps,still waiting for multi scroll through screens,the only niggle for me at the moment,not a biggie really though.
Saw some of the reviews and to be honest remember it's more or less still beta and things need to be ironed out.Still very workable though and still enjoying making themes.

How to guide...

I was looking for a "how to guide" on how to make themes for the app, but I did`nt come across any here.
So is there some sort of template or guide somewhere that lads like me can use in order to make some themes for the app, cheers.
there is a video guide m8 probably the easiest way to do it is to download a theme and get used to changing things around to how you want them ie change the wallpaper,icons etc

I'm having problems with themes, some of the widgets are not aligned properly, I try to do it manually but is not working, I just recently moved to SlimBean from Omega, no problems on Omega, I guess it's the DPI SlimBean uses, should I go to the next bigger DPI?

Chances are it's DPI issues, Themer was designed to work only on stock DPI as well as the supported resolution. We will consider changing this in the future though.
Any chance for a more advanced tutorial?
I am sure Themer got so much to offer that wasn't cleared on the previous tutorial

If you can make a .ttf file then yes just add the .ttf file you make to MyColorScreen-Themer-EverythingWidget-CustomFont
Then you will see any .ttf files you add in fonts on themer

I`ve given up on the custom font for now, thanks for the info though.
I`m trying to set up a badge foe my signature, link to MyColorScreen, how do I do that?
Edit: I managed to get a temp badge up, also my theme seems to be up, but on the preview screen on MyColorScreen, the default screen is the left home screen, how do I get it to be the main or middle home?

To set screen 2 or any other long press home screen when widget's are locked and select +/- home screen there you will find 2 columns 1 for number of home screens and 1 to select which is the default home screen.
IE: for a 3 page theme and default screen as 2 it would look like in my screen shot

[Q] Stock App Drawer

Hey,
Is it possible to use the stock app drawer with Themer? I can't find one that I like more, I just prefer the way it handles things and the way it looks.
Thanks,
Ninja!

Hi, we will look into adding more features in the app drawer in the future, but for now we want to move away from the traditional app drawer
