Did they remove the App grid size form the latest update?
In settings it still shows App Grid Size as part of being a setting in Wallpapers but when you go in there it's gone along with Theme matching beta.

Are you on the latest update? I found it last night (and just double checked)
Under `Dark Theme` I have `Themed Icons`, then `App grid`
It's there on mine just below where the last poster mentioned (@CJ0206 ). The good thing is it now works properly, before it was doing some comically strange sizes and things over all apps

Yeah, I had to update it, wasn't happy with the default settings for the grid layout
I am on the latest update and it's missing from wallpapers.
Clearing storage and clearing cache didn't do anything either
Just to confirm I also have the grid options available. I'm on 5x5 right now. Themed icons look a bit scheibe atm tbf

Yup. There's zero attempt to theme third party icons.
So on your home screen it's either have Google apps on display only or disable themed icons.
What a let down.
(Removed Link)
Here's what I have
I thought it was just me and was debating a full wipe and reload... but I'm still just getting things settled, I don't want to start over.
I can also confirm that I have the latest version and storage and clearing cache didn't do anything for me either. Any other suggestions?

I figured it out: I had changed my display size to small. When I changed it back to default, the option to change the app grid size in Wallpaper and Style returned!

Holy grail hahaha I tried that earlier with no luck. But I did it again and it didn't show.... But I left the settings then restarted my phone and bam!!
Thank you very much
Quick update: I wasn't happy with the look of the default screen size, so I changed back to small and the 'advanced' Wallpaper and Style options are still available. Even after reboot. It's a win all around!

I created these simple wallpapers with transparency. The grey is 75% transparant.
New! Windows Logo pack:

}
WP7 wallpapers:
Stars pack. These are also 75% transparant:
The lockscreen becomes transparant when there is an animation, so when you touch it is tranparant.
Download:
WP7 Wallpapers.zip
Stars Pack.zip
Windows logo pack.zip
How to:
1. First download the zip file with the wallpapers.
2. Mail the wallpaper you want to yourself.
3. Go to the mail with your Windows Phone.
4. Tap on the pic in the mail. This will download it. Like pictures in e-mails.
5. Open the pic.
6. Don't save it to your phone. Tap 'use as wallpaper' from the options.
7. Now you have a nice lockscreen.
It won't work with password on!
Let me know what you think about them.
really like the idea of this, just one question, when I set it as wallpaper and wake the phone up (Not touching it) it shows the wallpaper as it should but in the background it shows the full image of the lockscreen off centre faintly in the background..
It's quite hard to explain but I don't yet have a camera I can take a picture of.. although when I do touch the screen to open it the opacity shows and looks nice..
I'm running mango if that may mean anything.
Cheers,
MVP

Glad you like the idea. It isn't working because of Mamgo. They took it out of Windows Phone 7.5. But maybe I will make wallpapers without transparency for Mango.

Hi I want to share the apps I use to make my Samsung Galaxy 2 look like it has a higher resolution. I tried lcd density but I didn't like it because it messed up a lot of apps. So I downloaded go launcher ex. It has a setting where you can change app icon sizes and grid sizes. So I made the app icons smaller and made it a 5x5 grid so I can fit more apps on the screen. Then I downloaded a font size app and made the font of the phone smaller. I also change the default zoom in the browser to far. I feel like it makes the screen look better than stock and not make me want the galaxy nexus screen so much.

Outside of going with a 3rd party launcher does anyone know how to change the default homescreen grid size? The app drawer has an obvious setting for its grid but I can't find one for the homescreen. I have jumped on to ADW for now but actually like the native launcher except for this one thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No native method to increase grid size. They didn't build any options in for it.
Well that figures. It looks pretty lame to me to have a 5.5" 1080p screen and only have 4x4 icons on it.
Change dpi, at 244 you have 5x5

Not to mention that it looks horrible at that density.
I'm working on some things. The notifications and grid size are two of my priorities. I hope to have some things done this weekend.
taste and color....
Just try and see if you like, revert it if you don't like...
I like this and I don't see how it's horrible at this density.
It's smaller and give more space on the screen.
320 or 360 dpi is way better than the default 480. If that doesn't suit you, there are plenty of other launchers that'd get the job done nicely. GEL + XGEL works well too and gets you a "fuller" Google experience
I like the stock launcher but the icons are too big and only 4x4 is very wasted space.
I'm using nova launcher, grid size 10x7 with sub grid positioning and icon dimension 80%, now it's looking better, without change dpi.

I've setted the dpi to 385 and then I have enlarged the font size.
With these settings the final result is very similar to the original but with smaller icons and with the 5x5 grid you are looking for.
As others have said just give it a try you can always get back

I liked the way the icons looked but my Swiftkey keyboard was giganormous, as in I could only see the upper left corner of it. Reverted back for now.

I experienced it as well. I switched to other keyboard because of this issue. Then, I found the older version that works. Now I'm using Swiftkey again. Apparently, the latest update broke it. You need 5.3.2.67-x86
even on changing DPI to 500 or even 550, Icon size does not reduce, the text on the phone becomes tiny but icons are still humongous, its really poor design, only other option is to use other launcher but there is no launcher with google no integration. please suggest me any launcher with google now integration.
You may nees to use custom theme, best i have tried and liked is mini os theme. As attached.

You can use the Rootless Launcher (Pixel Launcher) if you have the international version. It has the Google Now add-on, so that it looks just like a Pixel phone (short of the menus).

Before you chance to the rootless launcher, you have to go to the permissions of it and enabled them (I think there are two). Once you change the permissions, you should be able to change the default launcher and not receive those recovery error messages.

Hi everyone,
for some reason I have no themed icon option in the settings.
I can only change wallpaper and system color.
Anyone has a fix for this?
Thanks!

Exactly...see attachment.
You also don't have grid spacing. Just to be sure (I'm sure you have but good to check) you've scrolled the page down right?
The obvious covered, I'm stumped. If you go into card mode and click the app info bubble, it says 13 at the bottom?
Are you using a launcher? Many of them won't support the themed icons and the switch will disappear. There are a few ways around this though

I am using Nova Launcher. But I thought since the release of A13 stable it does not depend on the launcher anymore?
i got the same here.not a big deal for me,i use klwp.
thats only work with pixel launcher as standaard.
Pro tip: turn the themed icons on using the pixel launcher. Then switch to the launcher of your choice. The themed icon switch will disappear but the system will still theme them because it's still switched on. Even post reboot. Profit
