Drawer tasparency opening a folder

Drawer is set to 100% trasparency but when i open a folder in drawer ,backgroud gets blakish while status bar and nav bar remain trasparent, really a bad look :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] demoncamber:
I'm not really digging the apex beta kitkat changes, the only issue I have is the folder background is a bright manilla transparent background, and I can't seem to find a setting to change the color back to the dark gray I had before. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] eurochild:
i managed to finally get rid of this white folder background by applying only the skin of an icon pack in apex theme settings

app drawer bug on nexus 5

I have the same problem on my Nexus 5, running Android 4.4.

If I add icons or change their position, hitting app drawer and then back shows a different screen than if I click home and swipe to it .. :( I need to restart Apex each time i make any change for the home screen to synchronize :( A nasty bug indeed.

the widgets didn't restored

hi

I have the nova and apex and adw launchers.

I tried to restored widgets with nova and adw launcher with titanium pro. but the widgets didn't restored.

I tried the apex launcher and it worked perfectly [apex restored all the widgets and widgets's data automatically]

why?

Hello I am using the latest beta 2.20 I cannot apply wallpaper through apex it does not apply the wallpaper through the buttons (Nexus 4) I can apply it only through gel and even then wallpaper in apex looks wrong.

Hello

v2.2.0 beta1 on Samsung Advance S with 4.1.2.

Apex crushed on widget drawer if I use other motive than default.

With default also occurs but very rarelly.

With others launchers, it does not happen.
[Android Apps and Games] Micoolef:
Running Android 4.2.2 with Apex 2.2.0 beta1 and have had no bugs or compatibility issues. I've seen a lot of reports here lately and I just want to say that some of us are running smooth.

I have seen it mentioned a few times here, but I haven't seen an accurate description. Google changed how wallpapers are cropped and applied for the worse with 4.4. Instead of seeing the margins, you have to guess where to position the wallpaper now. I am not sure if this is an Apex issue or just a general Android issue, but whenever I apply a wallpaper, it centers with the left-most page and not the default page (as it should). Hopefully this explanation will make it easy to fix on future updates.

Keep up the great work!

On my nexus 4, I have the same widget box alignment issue as above. Also since beta 1, there is a bug for me in Behavior settings>activity animation where slide left does not work like slide right, its not seamless and slides to a blank area before the app overlays ungracefully. Not sure if others facing same issue.

Somehow after using my phone a while Apex stops to refresh the homescreens. My toggle switches still work but you can't see the change being rendered. If I restart Apex it works again for a while until it stops rendering again... Any clue?

Also it would be nice if some of the Kit Kat changes such as transparent bars and light folder background were optional just like scroll indicators. I hate light stuff and would prefer things as dark as possible

[Android Apps and Games] mortstar:
This might be showing my complete newbie-ness, but I was wondering if there is a way to turn off the background highlight when scrolling between home screens? At the moment in 2.20 beta 2 when you begin scrolling the whole screen gets a white-gradient on both the screen that is leaving and the one arriving. I've had a play with all the settings but can't seem to turn it off.

Previously it was a blue border around the whole screen, which was less intrusive, but I'd still like to turn it off if possible.

So happy to be back on this launcher. One request .. The text in folders doesn't wrap to another line and has '..' at the end. Can you make the App Drawer like this? It looks like crud when an app name wraps to another line.

Also, it would be awesome (as someone has requested already) to have the option of full screen app drawer like GEL. That would be the only other thing I would want in this launcher and I would be 110% satisified. Right now it bugs me having the wrapped text so I have the text labels hidden but would like to show them. Thanks again for your hard work!!

If by fullscreen, you mean hidden status bar, I have a toggle on the desktop to show/hide it, which works in the app drawer too. Otherwise, we are probably thinking of something different.

The new 2.2 fades the side of the background wallpaper, and I really dislike the look. Is there any way to disable this "feature"? It does not happen if I revert back to 2.1.

This is on my Nexus 10 running Android 4.4.2.

My Droid Razr M running Android 4.2.1 does not exhibit this issue, so I assume it is related to Kit Kat.
[Android Apps and Games] mickey4mice:
Is there a way to disable top/bottom gradient in translucent mode? One of the reasons I'm not using GEL is I hate this gradient look, in pre-Kitkat days, it was the shadows, which Apex was able to hide. Hope to see a similar function to disable this translucent gradient as well.

There is written, that it prevents the launcher of being killed by the system - because of low memory, e.g.

v2.2.0 BUG REPORT

For the most part, really liking the update. However, two of the sub-menus in "Add to Home screen" ("Choose app" and "Choose shortcut") render with black text on a dark blue background, which makes it impossible to read. Also, the sub-menus display inconsistently; Actions and Widgets are Holo-like, but the rest look like Windows NT dialog boxes.

Edit: Now that I look at the first screen-shot blowup, it's not even black text; it's dark gray on dark blue, which is even worse.

I am having an issue in which zooper widget will stop updating. The widget would be stuck at an instance of time along with any other indicators. For example, even if the time is 9:57 AM and the battery was at 80 percent, the widget would be stuck at, say, 6:40 AM and the battery level at 6:40 AM. Even if I try to force update through the widget app itself, the homescreen widget will not update. Only if I restart apex launcher, it will update.

[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Okay, just installed and played around a bit, first impressions are that it's pretty good so far. :cool:

Things I like:

- Seems pretty quick and responsive. Zooming in and out of previews is a bit choppy, but that's the only slowdown I've seen.

- Pinch for previews is good, and the animation is MUCH better than the Nova Launcher one, even if it is choppy.

- Being able to go all the way up to 9 screens, and also being able to set the default screen.

- Ability to show/hide widgets in drawer.

- Ability to hide the dock.

- Homescreen gestures.

- Transparent background in app drawer.

- Ability to customise the menu in the app drawer.

- Ability to lock the desktops.

Things I don't like:

- No option to have Home button return to default screen if not already there, then open previews if it is there.

- When increasing the number of screens, extra screens are added at the end, and there's no ability to rearrange screens. This makes for a lot of work dragging stuff between screens if you want to go from 5 to 7 screens, for example, with 1 extra screen at the beginning and another at the end.

- No ability to add icons for 'launcher actions', like in Nova.

- No ability to change app icons.

I'm switching my default launcher to this for now, as for the way I use it, this is much nicer than Nova Launcher. If Nova gets >16 apps per folder first though, I'll be switching back. ;)
