  1. Carousel transition effect

    This effect is from LG phones like Optimus G. Personally its one the most clean and cool transition ive ever seen.

    • Gestures in empty area of drawer

      It would be nice if gestures also worked in empty areas of drawer. Currently only works if gesture starts over an icon.

        • Have application drawer default to the beginning of the list upon opening

          Instead of the drawer remaining in the position I last left it I would like the option to have it default to the beginning of the list. If I know an application is on the third page I swipe three times and I'm there. But, if I'm on the fourth page I have to search around to realize where I am and where I left off.

          • basic color themes for launcher (like Nova)

            this may be the only nova feature left that i like. it's tiring to set new themes just for the color of its skin and some don't even support skin color change, they are just set to ICS blue. i hope that apex can implement this too even with just the basic colors like Nova

            • Add a bottom-center option to the notifier

              Add a bottom-center option to the notifier.
              I use small text icons, so I want the counter notification to be displayed centered below. It looks weird now when it's either to the right or left below it.
              I can send a screenshot if you want.

              • Please add an option for the stock Jelly Bean home screen transition effect.

                It is a slide like the "none" option, but has the fading blue outline of the "tablet" option. I can't find a video of it to show as an example, but check out the Nexus 10 stock ROM to see what it looks like. The Motorola Xoom with Jelly Bean has the same home screen transition effect.

                  • Multiple Scrolling Rows

                    An idea of mine for Apex Launcher involved something I think could be an extremely handy yet somewhat simple tool. The idea would be multiple rows on the homescreen that could scroll, multiple rows being able to be locked together. I'm probably not good with words, so here's a gif demonstrating the basis of my idea:

                    http://i.imgur.com/zSWeiGk.gif

                    In this gif, the first, second, and fourth rows would be linked, allowing them to all be moved at once. The third and fifth rows would be individual and only that row would slide if dragged to the side. By default all rows…

                    • MailDroid unread icon needed....

                      MailDroid is the most feature-rich Android email app that I could find in Google Play but it does not seem to be supported by Apex Launcher.

                      Could we get an icon for MailDroid?

                      • GTasks icon breaks tray...

                        If you add the GTasks 1x1 unread tasks widget to home screen, it does not show up and the icons in the bottom tray disappear and you have to restart Apex launcher to get them back.

                        • I suggest you man or shut down the forums at http://blog.anddoes.com/apex-launcher-faq/ . Crammed full of gay porn crap and no answers.

                          Fix the launcher so that it points to a valid forum for reporting bugs. Now it points to http://blog.anddoes.com/apex-launcher-faq/ that leads to http://forum.anddoes.com/ that leads to the Bugs forum that is nothing more than a gay porn dumping ground.

                          • Random effects in the drawer

                            Random effects in the drawer would be great and not so monotonous.

                                I have created custom app drawers (tabs) but when creating a shortcut to the app drawer it only opens the last active drawer tab. Would be nice if you can create an app drawer shortcut that takes you to a specific tab (drawer).

                                • remove dock margin when dock is disabled.

                                  If remove the dock the margin still there keeping my icons a few pixels off compared to the top margin. I believed this is a bug since after I disable the dock no icon van be placed where the dock was. Deal breaker for me unfortunately.

                                  • Other screens should not be visible behind docks in Landscape

                                    Currently in Landscape mode the screens on either side of the current screen are visible behind the dock and search area, this makes the dock & search look UGLY

                                    Can we either have the choice to have that as non-transparent (showing wallpaper)?

                                    Thanks
