What size grid are you guys using that are using Nova or Apex? I tried running 9x7 which is what it seems like it should be at 160 dpi... but then the icon labels don't show up. So I moved it back down to 9x6 and the icon labels show, but now my Asus weather widget is cut off on the bottom. I feel like I've tried every combination, but no matter what I try I can't get Nova to show both the icon labels and not cut off my weather widget.
Trebuchet works, but the grid seems a little small on that TBH, and I like the card stack animation on Nova.

So I made some icons for a theme I am trying to put together with ADW Launcher EX. The icon is for the "Launcher Actions" icons to move from one screen to another. I noticed though when I apply the icon I made it seems to be a lot smaller than the icon space provided, no matter how big I end up making the icon.
Anybody have any ideas on how I could make it bigger or have a different method of moving from one screen to another with the ADW action thats there?
is there any white space/empty space around the icons you can crop away?
No there isnt. I am saving them as pngs and are as close to the image border as I can make them to be.
Is there a way to make the icons on the home screen larger? I tried using Go Luncher and ADW but couldn't find any options to change the icon sizes.
There is a video on youtube that shows NT running ADW with big home screen icons...not sure how it was done.
You can adjust the size go launcher. Go to go lancher's settings, and look in character settings. There you'll see icon size.
That doesn't work too well, the icons become blurry and the labels disappear...any other suggestions?
I've tried Go Launcher EX, but I hated the small dock icons. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Nexus, is there a Launcher that:
1 Don't alter the ICS dock icon size, or that have an option to resize the dock icons?
2 That support swipe gesture in the dock? (Swipe upwards to open shortcut)
3 Where it is easy to swap icons?
Which Launcher can do this?
With ADW Launcher you can easily change icons and you can resize the dock icons in the settings. I'm not sure if the free version has dock gestures but it does have gesture support.

Latest Go launcher EX has option to resize dock icons too.

No? I've installed the latest Go Launcher EX and can not find that option, where is it?
The "Icon size" setting only changs the icon size of all icons...
changing icon size to large instead of a custom size seems to also change dock icon sizes in go launcher.
ADW seems to be the only launcher I've used that has the ability to tweak dock icon sizes and numbers properly.

However, Go Launcher latest updates did claim that resizing the dock was doable, so let's hope it's possible for Go Launcher soon.
i managed to make all the dock icons the same same by unchecking Icon Base (show/hide icon base) under pref -> visual styes -> icons

I went to preferences->visual->icons and changed the size to small, the icons were normal size (larger) then! I hope this helps!
So I'm redoing my home screen, and I want to have a few text icons that take me directly to specific home screens. Apex launcher has action shortcuts for this, but they are only 1x1. I cannot use widgets to get these actions... I have to use shortcuts. I have done what I want with 1x1 shortcuts, but they are just too small for my taste. I really want 2x1 shortcuts. I have not been able to figure out how to make them with either Simple Text or Desktop Visualizer.
Any suggestions?
I have exactly the same question. Did you ever find a solution?
edit: I found a clunky work-around by taking advantage of the fact that Apex lets you overlap widgets. I made a totally hidden apex action shortcut by removing the shortcut text and using a transparent icon that I made with Simple Text (careful with these, because if you forget where they are on your homescreen they're hard to find!). Then I put a 2x1 Simple Text widget (that does nothing) over the top. The problem of course is that the shortcut only works if you press the 1x1 area where the apex action shortcut is!
For some reason the Google At a Glance Widget is bounded to a 5x2 space when the home page grid is set to 5x6 layout. In 5x5 layout the widget stays at 5x1.
Does anyone know why this is happening or a way to force the widget into a 5x1 space while on the 5x6 grid layout? The normal long press and drag to resize doesn't work. It just bounces back. I've also tried loading the widget while on 5x5 and then changing to 5x6, but then it bounces right back to 5x2 spacing.
For anyone else who finds this and has the same problem, I installed "Another Widget" from the playstore. It replicates the "At a Glance" widget but with much more customization available.
