Alright, so I’ve been working all day on LauncherPro, fixing bugs and adding features. It’s late and I’m tired, but didn’t want to go to bed before publishing the update, so please bear with me.

What’s new in 0.2.0:

  • Fixed missing highlights when navigating app drawer with trackball/dpad.
  • Fixed bug where some widgets would sometimes get dragged when doing a pinch gesture.
  • Fixed force close problems when pressing a shortcut on some devices. (Haven’t been able to test this since I can’t reproduce the bug, but it should work)
  • New: Added a button on the app drawer to go back to the home screens.
  • New: Added options for 4 and 6 home screens. Now you can choose anywhere from 3 to 7 screens.
  • New: Option to auto-rotate the launcher to landscape mode when the device is rotated.
  • New: Option to have the Home key on your device take you to your default home screen instead of showing the previews. If you’re already on the default screen, it will bring up the previews.

That’s it for now. I think I came up with a pretty nice way to handle the shortcut dock customization. If there are no big bugs in the current release I should be able to start working on it tomorrow, though it probably won’t be ready until next week (going to New Zealand for the weekend).

Thanks again for all the comments, suggestions, and bug reports. Keep ‘em coming!

PS: I’ve been swamped with emails about LauncherPro in the past two days and haven’t had time to reply to most of them yet. Please bear with me and know that your emails aren’t being ignored.
