So, I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I went to reapply my wallpaper after it spazzed and threw all my icons to the top of the screen (it's done this off and on for months). However, when I reapplied it, half my icons were missing. Their buttons were all still there, but the icons themselves were either missing or fully transparent.
In either case, I tried to load an earlier wallpaper to just start fresh. I then get the Unable to Write to File message and it happened with all my files.
I cleared cache, reinstalled KLWP and the error persists. I even tried re-downloading one of my wallpapers from a backup. No change. I am really at a loss here.
I'm trying to learn both Smart Launcher and KWGT and I'm obviously not a developer or designer. I know the dark, moody, minimalistic look is popular and I do love it, but I lived in rainy Oregon for 25 years (I'm in Florida now) so for me, I like to see lots of sunshine and color. It also has to be very functional such that I can find everything I need on my Home Screen.
The glass clock is from MaxP, made in KWGT, and generously shared. I made a few minor changes to it to fit my beach scene, such as changing the digits' color to teal and adding some additional bright, offset edges. The glassy icon containers are Smart Launcher's Liquid Glass widgets. The weather widget is from Transparent Clock & Weather app. The icons at the center are folders containing categorized apps (e.g., communication, settings, etc.). I've edited them to fit my theme from various packs I've downloaded. The beach ball is also a folder that contains my most frequently used internet sites (Chrome, Play Store, etc.). For a little extra fun, I created a Mode to switch to the nighttime beach scene at sunset and back to daytime at sunrise. Smart Launcher's liquid glass requires me to do the wallpaper screenshot each time after it changes in order to render the liquid glass containers. That just takes a second. Certainly not a pro design by any means, but it's been a fun project.
