Hi everyone,
Anyone else think the icons on the screen are too far apart?
Do any of the ROMs/MODs address this problem/issue?
Use LauncherPro, you can set how many apps/icons you have by the column and by the row. I think ADW does this as well..
Edit: I have mine set to 8 rows & 5 columns, no labels.

Move icons closer together!
Seriously...........I use ADW EX............have columns set to 5 and rows set to 7. You can also scale your icons and icon text with ADW.
Image below will illustrate the distance between icons. I have found if I tighten up the grid anymore, especially in columns, they get too close together.

Sick wallpaper! Will you share?
use Go Launcher EX, it's free and has most of the features of LP+ (widget resizing being the biggest)
Regina Launcher also does the trick, plus it has a nice 3D look

Can someone point me in the right direction, I tried and failed miserable at making something this nice.
If you have made something like this, or have pics that would work, please share
Well, I tried and failed.. if someone comes across this, please PM me if you have some nice icons that will fill a page as if it were a wallpaper (like the link in the OP).

If you use adw ex you can choose no icons in the ui main dock settings , put icons on the hidden dock so you can at least open your app launcher .when you remove the icons from the main dock ,you can then place widgets where the icons would have been. then use desktop visualizer icons/widgets to completely cover the home screen. Then put the "regular" icons on the hidden dock you can swype them up/down ,they will appear over the desktop visualizer icons ,and will work.( incase you dont want the empty looking dock option )you could put your launcher and like for or five icons there (on the hidden dock), the only problem I'm having is finding images that will look good as desktop visualizer icons

Hi all,
I have found the MIUI style launcher , translated from Chinese to English,
tested it on HTC wildfire and it works perfect, tested on CM 7.0.3
except some Chinese words which appear some times in some apps and widgets.
it has themes and wallpapers that you can download online

yeah it comes with an icon pack, but the launcher sucks, it is smooth and all but icons are all over each other lol, its just messy, i tried changing the dpi from 120 to 110 to maybe make it better, nah the app just force closes, so, app looks like crap. its nice if you got a bigger resolution screen tho.
don't change the main theme and it will fit for wildfire screen
or look for themes with square icons.
other themes ( with round icons) icons go over each other.
I was fliping around and saw this.. its nice..
not sure what theme or icon pack this is...

Hey XDA, wallpaper won't set correctly for me across different ROMS with Apex Launcher. I tried Wallpaper Wizard, QuickPic, Wallpaper Setter, Wallpaper Set and Save, Image 2 Wallpaper, etc many more and its frustrating.
Wallpapers are 1600x1280(correct height, height is what's cut)
Here's an example of what happens across all apps I try it with, quickpic here:
Wallpaper is:
{
"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"
}
Cropping like so:
But wallpaper is cut off on top and bottom
ok so i just noticed that it is ok on portrait but the above screenshots are landscape. is there a particular different resolution for landscape that i should use?

In landscape your height is 800
Here's an idea -- try SuperWall Lite -- it's a live wallpaper that you can set different images for portrait/landscape. Re-size a copy of the girls so the height is 800, then you can have the best of both!

Makes sense, thanks.
Running latest f5 from fj with nova prime. Set using quickpic.
Only crops heads in landscape. Like other guy said, different height so logical it would crop some off.

I already notice, that if I'm trying to use a static wallpaper, the launcher cut it in two....
I'm using multi picture livewallpaper and all is on my xoom installed.
Had some one the same problem?
Hey guys,
Sorry for the bunch of questions in recent days. I'm new a this while being fairly compulsive. Ok so let's make use of the ability to make screen shot. In the picture below, apps on the left are from stock touch wiz, and the second set of icons (more to the right) are from the TW SIII mod from pale horse. As you can see, apps on the right have much more space between them then on the left. Is there anyway for me to make it so apps on the right have the same space between them than apps on the left? It is very obsessive of me I know.
Thank you
Install the Apex launcher. Then you can change the grid of your desktop to any spacing that suits you.
And this is for caring about icon spacing. . .

What did you do to fix this?
Another thing Apex can do is let you resize icons. Maybe that could help?
And you know the CDO picture was strictly a joke - not trying to do anything here but assist.
That was a good one ranger...LOL
And yes....we need a sense of humor around here once in a while....g
Right? You know sometimes you can get someone's undies in a bunch by just saying hi.
Ahah no worries I can take a joke. I embed up doing nothing. Apex had the same problem so I just took a deep breath and accepted things as they are.

Did you browse the Homescreen thread? Maybe you can see a solution there. Anyone there will share their setup with you.

I use SSLauncher, and do whatever I like with the homescreen(s). Spacing, resizable widgets, etc.... SSLauncher=freedom!
from the looks of your photo something was changed other then just icons. your homescreen indicators and wallpaper dont line up. you can try changing your screen density to something larger to fill in the gaps. stock is 320. i use apex like ranger recomended and hide icon labels then change grid size. i use 8x5 and this makes all my icons very close(i also use text for icons rather then pictures). you should play around with it. pro version also lets you resize and overlap widgets so you can get icons close but still have widgets look like they should.
