Allow setting rotation offset for the pie #100

Closed molikuner closed 3 months ago

Problem

It's not possible to have an app in the bottom center of the pie when 6 apps are used in the pie.

Solution

Allow the user to rotate the pie (potentially similar how the pie can be resized).

Use case

I came back to this launcher after some time switching between others and now I'm missing the possibility to swipe down to open the notification shade. I wrote this small app to allow me to open the notification shade by "opening an app". Though now the problem is that I can't just swipe down, but instead need to swipe at a (slight) angle.

Wow, this is really creative to use a small app to open the notification shade! 👍

I totally understand that you want to rotate the pie in this case, and I was playing with the idea of adding rotation ever since (it's even supported by the pie drawing code already). I just thought it would probably of no use for anybody and so this feature isn't exposed yet. But I will add this to the pie editor in the next couple of days!
