Launcher with Locale API

[Bushmills]

Automagic custom widget have an undeniable advantage over other desktop objects of most launchers: the different gestures they can respond to - at least if they're displayed in an overlay. This requirement limits the usefulness of gestures considerably.
But many launchers don't allow a similarly extensive set of gestures on desktop objects.
With lightning launcher, Automagic custom widget can be configured to respond to a substantial set of gestures again, without requiring that the widget is placed in its own overlay. This actually applies not only to Automagic widgets, but to any desktop object, including Automagic shortcuts.
I wrote "Almost" in the topic, because there is a small hitch: the Automagic widget receives no information what gesture was responsible for triggering a flow, bound to a widget. Should the flow wish to know, an individual flow is needed for every gesture. I posted a feature request, hoping that enough information is provided by Android to make it possible to pass that information to the flow.

Hey Bushmills,

That Lightning launcher sounds awesome and can pair very well with Automagic. The concept of separate desktops is similar to a UNIX multi-desktop environment.

Your multi-function widget looks especially cool, do you mind sharing it and explaining which features does it have?
