Width/Height of margins in Apex Launcher - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Help with ADW Launcher

Placement of icons in adw launcher's dock contained in the default_workspace.xml file is confusing me.
First icon is launcher:container="-300"
Last icon is launcher:container="-400"
How do I specify the icons in-between? Negative values between -300 & -400 don't seem to work (-325,-350,-375).

[Q] Launcher with scalable icons?

There are many launchers with the featuring allowing resizing of widgets.
But I have yet to find a launcher that allows scaling of icons. I can't resize my application icons to 2x2 size, then change it to a custom image since the default icon would be blurry by the resizing.
Anyone knows of a launcher that does that?
Try Desktop visualizer. Can be found from Android market and its free.
Thanks for the suggestion. However i'm still faced with the issue of being unable to scale the icon I create using desktop visualiser. Such a shame since some custom icons are very high resolution and I would really like it to take a bigger space etc 2x2 instead of 1x1

[Q] Launcher without icon size restrictions?

I have tried numerous launchers and have found it difficult to find any launchers that allow you to go above 72x72 resolution for icons. The only one that would was Go Launcher EX and that simply scaled them up to a barely noticeable 82x82.
Is there a launcher which allows you to load icons that are say 100x100 and that does not scale them?
Thank you
Anyone have any ideas?

You have to consider that the program is in beta, and some themes don't work so good.
Yup, we're still in beta.
We're working on icon scaling for a future version which will fix this issue. :victory:
Icons are small since Themer has a grid of 13x9 by default which makes the icons take less space. Change the grid size if you want bigger icons. But it will mess up the theme of course if you are using one.
Themer's icon size
The size of the icon also depends on the grid size. With other launchers, increasing the grid size will lead to icons becoming cropped, Themer makes them smaller.
What may help is increasing the grid size, to do this, go into: Themer Actions > Advanced > Desktop, and you can decrease the grid size from here. Take note that your widgets will be affected and will have to be resized accordingly. Hope this helps!

[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.
