So I made some icons for a theme I am trying to put together with ADW Launcher EX. The icon is for the "Launcher Actions" icons to move from one screen to another. I noticed though when I apply the icon I made it seems to be a lot smaller than the icon space provided, no matter how big I end up making the icon.
Anybody have any ideas on how I could make it bigger or have a different method of moving from one screen to another with the ADW action thats there?
is there any white space/empty space around the icons you can crop away?
No there isnt. I am saving them as pngs and are as close to the image border as I can make them to be.
Ok I am running Miui with adw launcher ex and I am trying to make a clean theme with minimalistic text. I cannot seem to get the minimalistic text widget to lay flush with the screen however. (see below pic) The right side and the bottom will not lay flush with the screen. I have seen plenty of screens look sooo clean using miui and minimalistic text and adw launcher but I cant for the life of me figure out how to get this set up going. Also it seems that when people make this clean themes that their icons are spaced closer together and I would like to know how to do that to if anyone who customizes their phone in this manner knows how. I would really appreciate and answer at the very least on how to make the widget lay flush with the screen. Any help on these kinds of customizations though are welcome!
Good Luck!
Although I can't help you with the widget touching all sides (I've had that problem, it sucks) I can help you with getting your icons closer together. Some where in the settings of ADW Launcher (Maybe like Homescreen or Icons) In there look for something that says, "Rows and Colums" and adjust them to your liking. On default, most android phones are set up at 4x4.
It's because you are hiding the dock. For whatever reason the alignment is off when the dock is hidden. I've emailed them about it but no reply..

Hello, I'm using a theme called MiuiOrangeFree, and it looks awesome. However there's a problem. On the home screen and app drawer there are still blue lines, which are really visible and look ugly.
I'm using CM10.
The first blue line is the horizontal slider near the bottom of the screen of the home screen. The one that separates the app drawer and 4 buttons from the rest of the screen(a thin line).
The second one is the horizontal slider in the app drawer, on the very bottom of the screen, and on the top, the blue line separating the "apps & widgets" from the app icons.
If somebody could do this for me, I would be really grateful, as I plan to use this theme all the time.
I can also do it myself if you can tell me how to do it. I never really did any of this, but I'd like to learn it someday.

I love the Launcher on my M7 GPE, and its grown on me so much its the only one I can stand right now, It is similar to the google now launcher but is NOT the ugly ass now launcher... I don't have the now cards when i scroll left, and dont have the ugly ass white card for my app drawer background, It is solid black with scrolling from left to right that scrolls into my widgets pages, and a quick play store icon in the top right, it has 5 home screen pages, 2 left, and 2 right, 1 center, the google search bar is static at the top of my home screen, and there are no excess customization options(that i absolutely despise (no need to change a launcher that's perfect imo)) anyway is this launcher available for other phones as a standalone apk? if so where can i get it?
refer to this video to see the launcher:

I, personally, don't like the rounded folder shape even we are able to change the shape for the app icons. Do we have magisk module or icon pack where we can change the folder shape?
Thanks in advance!
press and hold on the homescreen. go into settings and change folderstyle to your likings.
Reeppeep,
I only have "Change icon shape" after I press and hold on the home screen and select "Home Settings". I don't have the folder style option. Is there a new pixel launcher apk somewhere? The version I have is 9-4928604.
hey, i'm sorry i thought app-icon style is what you were after. kinda misread your question a bit. can't help you with folder style, i'm sorry.
I know it is an old thread, but this question is still relevant. I got a new phone and I hate the dumb round shaped folder icons in Android 8 and 9, with no way to change it. It's crazy, isn't it? Taken from the real world, folders are always square, after all. Yet, we can't have square folder shape in google's skewed digital world, only round ones. App icons can be customized in many, some useless, way. We can have round app icons, square app icons, squarish app icons, teardrop app icons .... but only round folder icons. No customizable folder icons for us, oh no. Doesn't matter that in previous Android versions, at least up to 6, folders were square. Take your round folder icons now and like them. Yep, that makes sense . Screw you , google, that's the kind of stupid stuff that drives people to Apple and iphone.

Enable developer mode. At the end you will find option to change shape of icons. Screenshot attached. Regards

Go to settings> enable developer option > in developer option > themes application: highlight color, title source and icon shape.
that is about folder, not icon, icon we already know how to change shape as the last post above us told
Hi, I didn't find a Solution, but I think this should be better then installing a Launcher (something I don't want to do).
The onle thing it should do the job is removing completely the background color of the folder, see the screenshot.
