Widget: Drawer handle

This serves as an expanded trigger area to pull out a specific sliding drawer which is particularly useful if the default used by Total Launcher (a narrow invisible trigger area on the edge of the screen) is deemed too narrow or not accessible.
Total Launcher supports four sliding drawers (left, right, top, and bottom).

Customization and Configuration

The customization options for the drawer handle widget are specific to its function of linking to a sliding drawer and styling the trigger element.

  • Target: This setting specifies A sliding drawer which this widget works for. The user will select the specific sliding drawer the handle will activate: • left • right • top • bottom
  • Image: Select a substitute for the devault chevron (<∧>∨) in these launcher resources:
    • Icon pack - See here.
    • Shape - Easily a user-specific shape could be customized. See here.
  • Color filter: A color can be set to draw over the drawer handle. This uses the launcher's Color Picker described here.
  • Background: Defines the background selections (color, dynamic color, icon pack, shape, image and dynamic image) for the widget container. See Background for more details if desired.
  • Margins: Allows adjustment of the margins surrounding the widget container. See here.
