    Same. I really need padding adjustments for my custom home screen, and I haven’t seen anything else that lets you remove widget padding and adjust padding around each home screen page and the dock :/

    And the ability to set my own widget as the persistent search bar widget.

    I guess when I get tired of my current setup and start reworking it maybe I’ll just blow it all up and start over with another launcher and work within their constraints.

      Padding and grid / snap to half-grid makes it so easy to get things lined up exactly how you like.

      I also like having slide actions on the dock… I have a phone icon. If you tap on it, it opens a folder with my most common 9’ish contacts as direct dials. If I slide up on it, it opens the phone app. Repeat for other icons on the dock and you get over a dozen potential actions from 4 icons.

      Not sure if anything else offers this.

        Yep. I forgot, I really need snap to half grid too.

        And actively use swipe actions on app icons.

        Things are super messy cause I haven’t finished updating stuff after changing phones and a couple things are broken while I make changes, but I can’t do this with any other launcher, sadly

          I can’t tell if I love or hate the way your phone looks lol… It looks chaotic af

          Edit: It looks like the gui of your character’s in-game PDA device in an indie sci-fi game

            Lol, that’s okay, it’s very much to my own preference, and it’s a lot less overstimulating when you’re the one who placed everything and labored over every little corner. A lot of it is designed to help me stay on top of managing my sleep disorder

            Styling-wise it’s inspired by the in-show ui elements from cowboy bebop, and some typography from ghost in the shell
