Dynamic Image - Add Image
In the app, the user selects the desired Dynamic Image and is returned to the previous screen, with the dynamic image shown in the selection box (if a background) or on the page (if an independent object). In this demo, to return to the previous page, swipe (right to left), use the browser's return arrow, or select the Backlink icon
from the right sidebar.
When learning Total Launcher, background knowledge of various dynamic images will be useful. Dynamic images automatically update data or change appearance based on device state (e.g., Battery level, Wifi signal, Time). Users can create other dynamic images (e.g., custom clock faces). Make sure to review the Dynamic Image Categories section below.
Dialog selections are discussed below the image. To navigate to an item, select it in the Dynamic Image Add image. If NOT selecting any item and wanting to return to the prior page: swipe right-to-left; use the browser’s ‘back’ arrow; or use the Wiki’s Backlink icon
on the right sidebar (mobile: drop-down dialog at the top of the page).
The image above shows the default 'Type' landing page when adding a dynamic image to the page. In the app, selecting Type will open the dialog which provides a selection to change the 'Type' selection and then display that 'Types' dialog. In this demo, selecting the element Type in the image above shows the 'Type' list. A selection from that list will navigate to the discussion of it on this page.Dynamic Image Add dialog. Make selection above.
Pro Tip: A dynamic image can be attached to a Launcher Action (like tapping the Battery icon to open Battery Settings) using the Action on Tap menu.
