Current: The Object Action dialog offers the option “Invisible when edit mode is off” which 'hides' any object when Edit Off is effective and the launcher is running. If the object has an action link to it, such as opening an app, a tap to the area will still cause the action and the app will open. This is great for hidden actions.
Requested: Add a Launcher Action to reverse the current setting in the Object Action dialog. A “toggle” Launcher action and a discreet “Hide” / “Show” selection would give many customizing options to setup designers and users.
Why the current workarounds are inefficient: While this behavior can currently be simulated, the workarounds introduce significant design friction:
• Using a Window: Requires creating a separate, transparent window container just to hold and toggle a single object.
• Using Multi-Page Swaps: Requires cloning layouts and globally enabling “Disable page transition by touch” under >Key & Gesture, which sacrifices normal page swiping for the rest of the layout.
• Using Invisible Overlays: Stacking an invisible object on top of a visible one works for launching apps, but cannot dynamically reveal/hide graphic elements on command.
Example Use Case: A user could create a clean, minimalist home screen with a single discreet button. Tapping that button triggers the Launcher Action to “Show” a hidden group of favorite app icons or widgets, and tapping it again toggles them back to “Hide,” eliminating the need for complex multi-page or window setups.
