Sorry if this is a dupe post. I thought I'd submitted it earlier but it doesn't show up in my 'Threads you've started' area in user CP
Hi all,
I'm bored so I'm trying to come up with a new homescreen layout.
I want to design a wallpaper that lines up with the widget spacing on the homescreen but can't for the life of me work out the vertical height in pixels of a 1 row tall widget in touchwiz.
Does anyone know the vertical pixel location where the grid begins (just underneath the notification bar) and the pixel size for 1 row? I should be able to work the rest out from there.
Cheers in advance

Hey I've switched back and forth between ADW and LP quite a few times and I feel like I know both well enough to say that LauncherPro is better for my tastes... but there is one thing that ADW does a lot better. Auto-resizing icons to fit the grid on the homescreen. I like to have small icons with no labels on my homescreen. It gives it more of a minimalistic look. Has anyone else noticed that anything past 5 columns and 6 rows starts to chop off the edges of icons in LP? Is there a fix to this? Is there a way to at least remove the glow for selecting icons? That gets chopped off really bad leaving only two sides of an icon glowing/being highlighted.
Menu > Prefererences > Appearance Settings > Hide Icon Labels
For the glow around the icons, you could change it to a color that matches your wallpaper, then you won't really see it.

I'm trying to find a mod/widget/or theme that I can put tabs flush against a home screen (vertical). These tabs would all be folders/apps. And if possible customizable titles for the tabs.
Anyone know of something I could use? Thanks in advance!
The only thing I know of that comes close would be Circle Launcher. It can be used in a vertical or horizontal straight line. I'm sure you could maybe position it against one side and you can customize the icons/labels.
Good luck!

PS - if I've forgotten to include any pertinent bits of info, just let me know.
Hola, OGs of the keyboard slider,
I have a few questions to ask to improve my homescreen (the black minimalist screenshot).
CM9
Apex launcher
Advanced Clock Widget
Metrostation Icon Pack
1. Which 5-day weather forecast widget is shown in the other attached screenshot? Or a similar app. One that can show vertically would be great, too.
2. What app can display message/call/email notifications as a widget? Preferably one that hides until a message/call/email is received: i.e. doesn't show "0 new messages".
3. Is it possible to have two distinct layouts for the homescreen, one for portrait and one for landscape? Rather than deal with bunched icons or icons hidden offscreen, I currently have Apex lock the homescreen to portrait, even with keyboard slide. I'm okay with this as apps aren't affected but the app drawer is and I often slide the keyboard to unlock my PIN password on the lockscreen.
4. Can I style the PIN password lockscreen in CM9? Every cool lockscreen I've seen never has the PIN pad out.
My previous phone is a Sony Z5 compact with a lower resolution and smaller screen. On my home screen and other panels I can get 5 rows of 4 icons (not including the app bar along the bottom) i.e. 20 icons + the shortcuts along the bottom.
However, on my HTC 10 I cannot find a way of increasing the number of icons - I can only get 4 x 4 and they are really widely spaced out.
I am missing something really obvious? I tried using a smaller font size - but that does not help.
I know I can increase grid size on the apps pages - but that does not affect the home screen etc
I know there is a FreeStyle theme but that looks too wacky for me...
Any help welcome. Thanks.
You can't on stock.Different launcher or custom rom.
ok - thanks.
Will check out alternative launchers....
Tried Google Now Launcher which seemed to be good enough - but you can set the Home Page panel position - I like one panel on each side.
Tried Nova Launcher and that does it.
Thanks.
