Layout Options - List
Dialog selections are discussed below the images. To navigate to an item, select it in the List Layout Options images.
The Layout Options - List dialog configures spatial dimensions, sound behaviors, typography, and container backgrounds for vertical linear layouts:
- General:
- Rows: Defines the number of visible item rows displayed simultaneously within the container boundaries (default is 5; range is 1 to 16). Scrolling reveals additional rows.
- Launch animation (PRO): Sets the visual transition animation triggered when launching an item from the list (defaults to
System default).
- Launch sound: Assigns sound effects to specific touch and directional gestures performed on any item within the layout.
- Tap: Audio file played upon a single tap interaction.
- Swipe up / Swipe down: Audio files triggered by upward or downward vertical swipes.
- Swipe left / Swipe right: Audio files triggered by horizontal swipes across list items.
- Icon: Controls global sizing, spacing, and color styling for all item icons within the list.
- Icon size: Scales the display dimensions of the icons. Range is 10 to 860, with a default of 180.
- Icon padding: Adjusts internal padding surrounding each icon within its bounding box. Range is 0 to 215, with a default of 0.
- Icon opacity (%): Sets global transparency for all icons. Range is 0% (fully transparent) to 100% (default, fully visible).
- Icon saturation (%): Adjusts color intensity from grayscale (0%) to full color (100% default).
- Icon color filter: Applies a uniform color tint overlay across all contained icons using the Launcher's dynamic color scheme (if activated) or the Color Picker utility for user-selected shades.
- Label & Shadow: Controls typography, line clamping, and text contrast.
- Show label: Master toggle to enable or disable text label visibility.
- Typeface: Selects the font family applied from the user device to all labels in the list.
- Label lines: Sets the maximum permitted text lines (1 to 3) before truncating.
- Font size: Adjusts label point size (0 uses the global theme default).
- Font size: Controls label text size. Range is 0 to 115.
- The size defaults to
0for a dynamic auto-fit; it automatically calculates font scale based on available row height (rendering equivalent to approximately60on standard layouts). 1to59enforces a smaller, fixed point size below the standard auto-fit baseline.61to115enforces a fixed, enlarged point size above the standard baseline.
- Scale X (%): Horizontally compresses or expands label text (50% to 200%).
- Text color / Text color (pressed): Defines resting and active-tap colors using the Launcher's dynamic color scheme (if activated) or the Color Picker utility using hex numbers (e.g.,
#FFFFFFFF). - Shadow color / Shadow radius: Configures blur radius and hue for underlying text drop shadows. More complete discussion on shadows and radius can be found at the Resource - Shadow] and [[section:section-shadow-radius-technical|Shadow Radius sections.
- Shadow offset X / Shadow offset Y: Shifts drop shadow position horizontally (X) and vertically (Y).
- Background: Controls container-level and item-level surface backgrounds.
- Background: Sets the fill color, gradient, or image resource for the entire list container.
- Margins: Defines outer border spacing (left, top, right, bottom).
- Item background: Resting background visual for each individual list item row.
- Item background (pressed): Background appearance displayed while an item is being tapped.
- Item background (focused): Visual state displayed when an item is selected via hardware keys or focus controls. This is key when D-Pads, keyboards, Android accessibility tools, or other rotary and stylus/cursor navigation items are used.
