Are there aany launchers out there that allow you to align icons manually, ignoring the grid completely? Preferably that allows resizes of icons and removing of icon text?

Launcher Grid Size

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.

Width/Height of margins in Apex Launcher

Hi Guys,
I am wondering if you can calculate the width/height of the margins (if you enable them) for Apex Launcher? Assuming a HPDI device with resolution of 480x800.
I am trying to do some custom themes and need the numbers to ensure perfect alignment.
On a slightly different note: Am I right to say that you cannot disable icons from snapping to the grid in Apex? the positions of you icons have to be centered within the grid?
Thanks.

[Q] resizing icons on themes

I was wondering if there is a way to resize icons on various themes? I want to add some of my own apps and figured out how to do that and edit the icon to my own custom one but can't figure out how to resize them.
Change the grid size of the launcher to resize the icons. More grids = Smaller icons and vice versa.

[Q] "Set Icon Pack" not updating desktop icons, except those from old Launcher

[Q] "Set Icon Pack" not updating desktop icons, except those from old Launcher
Under Gen, Manage App Drawer, Set Icon Pack. Changes all icons in app drawer to reflect icon pack.
It will not change the desktop icons, HOWEVER it will change the desktop icons it migrated over from my old launcher. If I add icons from the App Drawer to the desktop or any other way I can think of (long pressing on the desktop and adding icons) it will never change the icons when I change an icon pack. I can see the icons not changing if I manually went in and changed them but I don't see why this is working this way. I even changed the icon pack back to the default then added my icons changed icon pack to non default and the desktop icons did not update.
Is this a bug or a feature? With Set Icon Pack, Themer will update all the desktop Icons from when I migrated my icons from my old launcher but not on anything after that?

Question At a Glance Widget too Large in 5x6 Grid Layout

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.
