De ontwikkelaar van Action Launcher; Chris Lacy, is een flinke update aan het uitrollen voor Action Launcher. De app die officieel Action Launcher 3 heette, krijgt met de grote update een grote hoeveelheid verbeteringen en nieuwe functies. De update brengt ons bij versie Action Launcher 25.2.
Action Launcher: juni update
Er wordt een grote update uitgerold voor Action Launcher. Deze uitgebreide launcher voor Android krijgt met de update direct een nieuw logo waardoor de applicatie nog sneller te herkennen is. De app wordt niet langer meer Action Launcher 3 genoemd.
Eigenlijk is zo’n beetje alles vernieuwd met de update. Een interessante wijziging is de mogelijkheid om het icoontje van de Google Clock app te laten animeren. Hierdoor kun je hem zowel als widget als app-icoon gebruiken. Ook de App Shortcuts bieden extra mogelijkheden en er is nog veel en veel meer. We hebben de volledige changelog van de update hieronder neergezet.
- NEW: Action Launcher 3 has been renamed to Action Launcher, and has a shiny
- new icon to prove it!
- NEW: Use an animating, Android O-style clock icon for the Google Clock app
- (requires Lollipop or later). This animating clock is also available as a standalone
- Widget.
- NEW: By default, all new installs of Action Launcher will use Pixel Launcher style All
- Apps, folders and everything in between.
- NEW: Many Pixel Launcher features that previously required Plus are now free for
- all users. Furthermore, the app is now far less aggressive in prompting users to
- upgrade to Plus.
- NEW: Full integration of Pixel Launcher’s UI styling for displaying App Shortcuts
- (previously known as Quickcuts). App Shortcuts display when long pressing an icon
- from either the desktop or All Apps list.
