====== Total Launcher Arc Calculator: Visual Angle & Degree Converter Tool ======

The **Total Launcher Arc Calculator** is a free visual design utility created by **uiTLM** to solve the blind coordinate problem when creating vector Arc shapes in Total Launcher. In Total Launcher's native Shape dialog, arcs are configured without a visual preview, and angles originate at **3 o'clock (0°)** rather than the standard **12 o'clock** clock face. 

This interactive tool lets Android themers and layout designers visually dial in start positions and sweep spans on an analog clock dial, automatically translating the geometry into Total Launcher's native radial coordinates. Use the real-time web calculator below or download the standalone Android APK for offline use.

====== uiTLM Arc Calculator ======

The **uiTLM Arc Calculator** is an interactive design tool designed to eliminate the guesswork involved in configuring Arc shapes in Total Launcher. By translating intuitive 12-hour clock-face coordinates into Total Launcher's native radial system, the tool can design visual wedges and curved lines in real time and paste the exact angles directly into layouts.

===== Why Was This Tool Created? =====

When adding an **Arc** shape via **Add > Graphic > Default > Shape**, Total Launcher presents only two blind adjustment sliders: **Start angle** and **Sweep angle**, with no preview of what you are drawing.

Total Launcher calculates coordinates starting at **3 o'clock (0°)** and sweeps clockwise:
  * **Clock 12:00 (Top)** = TL `270°`
  * **Clock 3:00 (Right)** = TL `0°`
  * **Clock 6:00 (Bottom)** = TL `90°`
  * **Clock 9:00 (Left)** = TL `180°`

The calculator handles the coordinate translation automatically using the formula:

''TL Start Angle = (Clock Start - 90° + 360°) mod 360''

===== Features & Controls =====

  * **WYSIWYG Clock Dial:** Displays a real-time preview of the start position (green ray), body arc (blue shaded sector), and termination point (red ray).
  * **Touch Step Buttons:** Quickly nudge values in ±15° or ±1° increments.
  * **Numeric Keypad:** Tap either pill badge to open an on-screen keypad and select common angle increments (45°, 90°, 180°, etc.).
  * **One-Tap Clipboard Copy:** Tap individual values or the **Copy Both** button to copy your values for direct pasting into Total Launcher.

===== Standalone Android App (APK) =====
