Option Action

Dialog selections are discussed below the image. For navigation to an item make a selection in the Option Action image.

Option Action dialog elements discussed below. To navigate click the element in the figure above.

The top three actions are not “tap” or “swipe” options but do give the user a direct action on the selected object:

• Replace object - The “on-the-fly” method to change the existing object. Selection here will navigate to to the “Graphic - Selection” dialog (Object Design menu > Add > Graphic)
• Invisible when edit mode is off - Checking this box will hide the object when the setup is running normally. If the object has an action linked to it (tap or swipe), the action can still be effected or through a Launcher action. Think of this as a method to unclutter a display or hide a secret.
• Ignore touches - When objects (such as images) are on the page for design reasons only, by default a touch may cause a momentary highlight as a reaction. Selecting this option makes the object totally stationary with no actions associated to it.

Total Launcher provides for objects (icon, text, images, widgets) to have up to 5 action triggers, each trigger with its own launch animation and sound. The triggers are described below:

• Tap - normal tap
• Swipe up - finger or mouse on object then an upward movement
• Swipe down - finger or mouse on object then a downward movement
• Swipe to the left - finger or mouse on object then a push to the left movement
• Swipe to the right - finger or mouse on object then a push to the right movement
• Action - ⬇️ These 6 actions are defined by making a selection in the Option Action image
  • Default (Do nothing)
  • Application
  • Window
  • Folder
  • Launcher action
  • Sequence
• Launcher animation - Choose how the object presents itself when returning to the page
• Sound - Choose a launcher resource sound when the object is “tapped/swiped”“
