Hi I've got a question about all the launchers that are based on the original ICS launcher why do they have such a huge no usable border around each screen and so much space between the icons? and can it be fixed ?
Here is an example of a widget with ICS on the left and Gingerbread skinned to look like ICS on the right its just terrible and makes the stuff on the screen so small
{
"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"
}
Could be way off but id assume its due to the HD screen. Either use Nova Launcher and decrease margins with some sort of similar widget, or wait for the launcher to be updated .
Thanks for the suggestion I tried Nova and not too fond of it but I found a sort of solution by getting rid of the quicksearch bar and making my desktop grid 5x5 instead of 4x4 and manually re-sizing it

Quite a lot of the 3rd party software program icons look awful due to their low resolution when added to the home tab shortcuts on manilla 2.5.
Does anyone know if it's possible to edit them?
Search for "reStart" - it'll also let you re-order your 6.5 menu icons
Excellent, thanks.

go to this Reg:
[HKLM]\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
you can edit or add any icon to any program
look at mine:

Probably one is the stock launcher and one is a different one (like Lanucher Pro or Zeam)
Got a picture to help with the question?

Eddy is right there are a fair few launchers around and each gives a different look as "stock" might help to know which ROM you used as that will probably have the details of the launcher used or a picture to work with
This is stock 2.3

I wanted a black version of the original HTC clock widget.
But to my surprise it was no where to be found for ARDH.
Lots of lame third part clock widgets but none of them was flipping .
I love it when i come back to homescreen and see the minute ticks
So i decided to modify mine.
And i did.
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem is, i lost my white one this time.
I dont know any kind of coding.
Is it possible for me to actually ADD the clock to the current widgets instead of changing one?
I can upload it if you guys intrested.
I can even give the PNG files if anyone thinks its easy to do and hard to explain
It actually would be great if we can keep both at the same list of clocks..
Your the Man!!!
That would awesome Ive been looking for a flip clock like my wife HTC. And black is my favorite color. I cant help you change the color but would love to try your black one out.....Thanks
sorry about the poor grammar I got in a hurry
So I'm working on a new project.. it still needs help.. if anyone wants to try ...

Wallpaper to tweak it yourself
Using HD launcher
Grid size 4*7
Clock is blueprint tech clock...
Uccw skin I will upload if you want it
Basically I want to make a whole theme based off these types of future vector graphics...
But I wanna get some input from you guys as far as ideas on how to do this.. or if you even like the design???
I also have homescreen that utilizes the wallpaper. One thing I do recommend is to use the invisible icon, and put a icon on the wallpaper. This will make everything look cleaner. Other than that, awesome work!

Hi guys, wanting to change my Android Head Unit's launcher to give it a different change.
Saw a listing on AliExpress for a module that runs it's own Android Interface via a Car's CarPlay connection which is cool. I'm more interested in what the launcher is, looks like a enhanced CarPlay kind of design:

Here's the listing anyway: link
Could be Nova launcher.
You can get the same results from Nova, Lawnchair 2, or Microsoft Launcher.
Here are a couple photos. One is Nova showing a widget for my music player, time, and google search bar, and a few icons.
The other is Lawnchair 2 with a minimal approach. Just a time widget, custom wallpaper, and a few icons.
There's quite a few launchers on Play: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=car launcher&c=apps
I'm currently testing Agama, which so far is really pretty and seems to work quite well.
