Import Settings From File

This section allows the user to import a launcher configuration file (launcher.cfg). Launcher configuration files are generated by the launcher application and are a way of cloning launcher configurations from one device to another. To import a configuration, click the Import Settings button and use the file picker to select the launcher configuration file.

Screen Shot

Once a configuration has been imported, all other controls will be reset and disabled, and a clear button will appear. Clicking the Clear button removes the launcher configuration and re-enables all the other controls.

Allowed Applications

The allowed apps section controls which applications and URLs are available from the launcher. This section provides the ability to add, delete, and configure the allowed applications. Screen Shot

Adding an application

To add an application, click the Select Apps or Add App button.

The Select Apps button brings up a list of all preinstalled applications. To select an application, click the checkbox to the right of the application. To deselect the application, click the checkbox again. Pressing the add button at the bottom of the screen will close the popup and add all the selected applications to the allowed list. Pressing the cancel button will close the dialog and discard any change.

The Add App button brings up a dialog that allows the user to add a single application (native or web page). This option is used for adding custom applications that do not come preinstalled on the device. To add a new APK, first select the APK app type. Then enter the APK's package name and give it a label. The label is the display name of the application in the launcher. Once all the fields have been filled in, press the add button to close the popup and add the application to the allowed list. Or press the cancel button to close the popup and discard all changes.

note

All custom APKs need to be installed on the device or included for installation with this profile. Refer to the applications -> install section for details on installing apps.

Adding a web page

Adding a web page is like adding a single APK. First, select the Add app button. Next, change the App Type to web app. Then enter the web page's URL (http:// will automatically be added to the URL if the scheme is not included). And give it a label. Once all the fields have been filled in, press the add button to close the popup and add the web page to the allowed list. Or press the cancel button to close the popup and discard all changes.

Deleting an application/web page

To delete an entry from the allowed list. Click the () icon for its list entry.

Configuring an application

Each application card can be expanded, by clicking the down arrow (), to allow modifying that app's configuration. Each application has the following configurable settings:

LabelThis is the user-friendly name displayed with the icon when shown on the launcher screen.
Package NameOnly available for custom APKs added using the Add App button. This is the package name for this application.
URL

Only available for Web pages added using the Add App button. This is the URL to the web page the browser should go to when launched. http:// will automatically be added to the URL if the scheme is not specified.

Change Icon

Clicking this button allows the user to select a custom icon for this application. If this option is left empty, then the default icon for the application is used. A preview of the current icon can be seen at the top left corner of the app card. Once a custom icon has been selected, the icon preview will update, the name of the image file will be displayed, and a clear button will appear.

Launch application on startup

When enabled, this allows the user to select an application or Web page to launch immediately when the launcher starts. Note: Currently launcher only supports launching a single application on startup. If multiple applications are set to launch on startup, the launcher will only launch the first application it comes across with this option set.

The application list also supports reordering its entries. To select an item from the list, hover your cursor over the desired app, then click and hold the left mouse button. Once you've selected an item, drag it up and down the app's list to place it in the desired position.
