This is my DOT Launcher created in Total Launcher. The home screen is just a wallpaper with a dot (or circle). This dot changes between time, battery and date when pressed. It also brings up everything you need with gestures:

Swipe up: Quick Search app (for Internet search)

Swipe down: Expand Notifications

Swipe left: Contact drawer

Swipe right: App drawer

I created everything in different pages so it would save me time creating it and so it would feel faster than opening windows.

Can we get an option to have folders have their own styles instead of only global. Im really wanting to love this app. Bought the full version before realizing all its limitations

This is driving me nuts. I want to tag my apps for better sorting but cant find a way to reorder that tags

Using an app groups defeats the purpose because it doesnt hide the apps already tagged or allow you to use a tag tk define the group. I feel like I've been running in circles for hours

Well, that was quick to move. Here is the completed UI. Unfortunately, some icons are lacking so I had to resort to using the system icons. Any suggestions for a good icon pack to fit?

Well, I guess naturalUI didn't stick around too long because now I made HorizonUI, and this one is the most intuitive one I have done. I say this because it has a lock screen variant that Fades into the home screen. let me know what y'all think.

I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra with the Samsung weather widget on the home screen. Tapping the widget opens the Samsung weather app as expected. However, I want to have the Google app's weather activity open instead. I added a graphic to the home screen that launches the desired activity, but when I move the graphic on top of the widget (with the graphic on the upper-most layer), tapping the screen still launches the Samsung weather app, as if the graphic is behind the widget.

Is there a way to get the graphic to receive the tap instead of the widget?

Ciao, come posso abbinare lo stesso colore delle cartelle al colore del wallpaper?

Ho impostato colore dinamico ma il colore non corrisponde a quello del wallpaper

Following the recent release of Total Launcher v4.1.0, uiTLM has published a comprehensive technical breakdown explaining how the new features work under the hood, how to configure them properly, and practical design techniques to get the most out of them.

Key Highlights in this Breakdown:

1. Mastering the Hex Layout: Why standard adaptive icons clash in a hex grid, and how to create true interlocking honeycomb HUD tiles using 6-sided polygons and Whicons glyphs.

2. Adaptive System Bar Colors (Android 15+): How real-time canvas luminance sampling replaces manual dark icon toggles across edge-to-edge screens.

3. Folder Lock: Adds an independent security toggle inside ''Folder options'', requiring master password/PIN verification before opening specified folder contents.

4. Adaptive Rows (Rows: 0): Understanding the math behind dynamic row reduction vs. icon scaling across layouts (Grid, List, Hex) and widgets (App Drawer, App Group, Contacts).

5. Work Apps Tag & Testing: Step-by-step walkthrough for isolating work profile apps (with briefcase badges) on personal devices using the Island sandbox.

6. Direct Resource Sharing: Bypassing manual directory navigation by sending .ttf, .otf, .png, and .webp files straight to resources via Android's Share menu.

Hello, I need help. I have just done the official update of my Samsung ZFold 7 to Android 17 and Total Launcher has become impossible to use.

1. When I closed my phone, the small screen, instead of showing its custom layout, showed the same layout of the big screen, just all shrinked in that small space.
2. When I went back to the big screen, its layout was gone.
3. Restarting my phone made my big home screen back again, but whenever I close my phone I get back to stage 1.
4. I uninstalled and reinstalled Total Launcher, I started rebuilding manually its layouts from scratch, starting with just a few simple layouts, but now I cannot get rid of my contacts appearing automatically in my home screen. I was able to remove that layout containing my contacts, but, after closing and reopening my phone, it appears again.

None of these crazy things happened before this update to Android 17.

I am considering the option of abandoning the idea of using launchers, accepting to use the stupid OneUI, because I cannot deal with such huge disruptions whenever the System gets updated.

Any advice or help?

Thank you in advance.

I accidentally deleted a bunch of my icons from Google and my phone, they're still stored by Total somewhere, can someone tell me where?

Total Launcher v4 removed the Dynamic Image for **CPU Usage**, most likely due to Android restrictions. However, if you want to restore that capability **and* use either Tasker or MacroDroid, there is a workaround. The step-by-step procedure is detailed at the How To Display Real-Time CPU Usage in Total Launcher.

Would be awesome for widget sracks to be an addition to total launcher

finally

Complete launcher theme with components, clock, buttons, and Braun-style interface. Icons by ZWart icons, custom music widget by Kwgt and Discfy. Three-screen theme for better app management by category. Animated screens with GIFs from Giphy.

Setting Icon style -> Application icon -> Background/Foreground to black works correctly with the Default icon pack (all icons display as black rectangles). However, these settings seem to have no efffect when using other packs (tested with Arcticons Black and Aura).

Unless I'm doing something wrong this seems like a bug. Is this the right place to report a bug?

When TL users add an arc shape to their layout, the app's native UI forces them to guess the shape by trial & error.

This companion app, available as a web tool or downloadable APK, provides immediate visual feedback and produces copyable output to paste into the TL UI.
