Everything looks HUGE on Nova? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So since I bought my Edge back at launch I have been pretty happy to stick with TW but recently I decided to install Nova Prime because the themes available are all pretty crap to say the least, especially the icon packs. I have set up the same grid size as TW, same number of screens and exactly the same widgets, however on Nova everything looks huge compared to TW:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The screenshot on the left is TW, Nova on the right. It's almost like a DPI thing but unless I'm being completely thick I can't find anything in the Nova settings which lets me change this. I have tried various different grid sizes but always the same result. The only 'size' setting I can find is for icon sizing and that works. I am stock, unrooted. Can anyone point out what I'm missing?

dumb question, how to set wallpaper optimally?

I'm trying to set a 960x800 image as a wallpaper, it's actually packed in with Onyx but I switched to Axura and I pulled the wallpaper out of the Onyx TW chooser, so I'm trying to set it as a wallpaper but there's this weird cropping thing I have to do and no matter how I do it I can't get it zoomed out enough so that it looks like it did when it was in the Onyx TW wallpaper chooser... it always zooms in too close when I try to use the cropper thing.. does anyone know how to do this correctly???
It's pissing me off, this should be dead simple

No workie...?

it 'workies' but how am I supposed to stretch the box? sometimes as you're dragging the lines the image zooms in and out.. like what's the optimal position of the box? the way you've got it pictured? so you don't want it to cover the whole image?
When out zooms in pull the bottom or the top that usually corrects it

[Q] GO Launcher EX Widgets With A Different Launcher?

I really like the Go Launcher EX widgets, particularly the messaging widget. However, I despise the launcher itself. Dosn't fit with how I want to use my phone or how I want it to look. I want to go back to ADW and keep the widgets. Ideally I would like to know if you could just fix permissions or something and then use the widgets. I would settle for a substitute, but nothing is quite as functional. Pure Messenger, Colorize, & LP+ all look nice but are NOT what I want. I want a widget that works with the stock mms, allows you to scroll through your conversation chat style, shows your replies, and allows you to respond WITHOUT opening the messaging app. (2 Screenshots Below Of The Widget For Reference, Talking About Football On Sunday, Conversation Goes Upward )

Dock Icon in PNG shows blank

Hello,
I'm really really new in terms of customization but of course I'd like to learn and try.
I have Launcher Pro installed and I wanted to change the dock.
When I click on the App Drawer Icon and select the png file I want to replace it with, it's just totally blank
Here is the icon I want to put (the 2nd one): thecustomandroid (dot) com /2011/10/docks-by-desylvia/
In fact I'm trying to get this overall look but with no tutorial it's not easy and I don't want theme packages, I prefer personal customization with different widgets etc. And I like that dock but I just can't find it anywhere. I've read it's from Gomorrah.
Anyway, I just need help with the PNG icon, I'll do some additional research for the rest .

Oh and by the way this lock screen and the homescreen are from Desylvia.
Thanks in advance for your help.

most wallpapers look ugly on Stock ICS

i have been running ICS roms for a few months, and apart from from maybe 5 wallpapers (phasebeam) nothing else suits it (unless its aqua/blue) its a combination of the blue status icons/time & the horrible ics dock icons

whereas on touchwiz literally any wallpaper suits it
anyone agree?
Questions go in Q&A please.
500 plus wallpapers in the Themes section .

Yeah I know what you mean ^^ Everytime I try to change a wallpaper in ics, i keep on going back to the black and blue combo...
Yes, it's an *advantage* to some kids, that pure ICS, lmao. You need an additional app to set a wall. Rofl.

Show off your home screens

The screen size of this phone is going to be a benchmark size for the phones coming next year after Google themselves have gone for a 6" screen. How best do you utilize this massive real estate? Widgets etc that make use of the screen. Will start with mine.
