Can you post screenshots of the launcher? I think we'd all like to have an idea of how it looks before we download it.
screen shots
attach the screenshots.
So what, exactly, is special about this launcher?
I like the concept. Great for users migrating from the iPhone, or those that want a simple interface. I downloaded it from the market last week, and have been playing around with it.
It places all your applications on a series of home (application) screens when first installed. You are then able to add up to 3 widget screens, which are placed to the left of the application screens. You can re-arrange your applications by grouping them into folders. These folders as well as your applications can be placed anywhere other than the widget screens, in any order. It doesn't have an apps drawer and so your wallpaper is visible at all times.
heyy dude!! I think itz too simple... i think an app drawer wid 3D wd b gud... N sum custom icons wid gud transition effects wd b gr8!!
Very nice.
Having an iPhone, this looks and feel just like it. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the clues.
Can someone change the layout to fit the Wildfire's screen?
Meh. The ui is boring and ugly lol.

I tried vlauncher the other day, from the Market. What it does, it does well. I would like to see it do more. Here are my two suggestions:
1. Allow shortcuts and bookmarks on the Widget pages. In the standard Android launcher, is very convenient to get to battery use or a weather bookmark with one press of an icon on the screen.
2. In your settings, have an entry for the column and row sizes. On the 7 inch screen of my Nook Color I would like more than 4 columns and 4 rows of icons on each screen.
If you add these two features I think I could use vlauncher every day.
Hi,
I would like my 4 most commonly used shortcuts as large icons on my main home screen.
3 are app shortcuts and one to direct message.
I use launcher pro plus, this lets me resize widgets but I want to resize just these 4 icons.
Maybe there is some widget that is customisable for a single shortcut and I could put it on my screen four times? Or one widget that I can add to have the 4?
I have a small screen 230x320 and the icons are very small, I have found nice icons to use for each shortcut but it's a waste because they are tiny, cramped and don't look good
I see a program called Bigger Icons Widget, but it doesn't show up in the market on my phone, must be incompatible I guess, I have a galaxy 5
any suggestions will be much appreciated =)
Thanks
Use Desktop VisualizeR from the market:

perfect, thank you very much ! =)
I'm not exactly used to a folder limit of 12 appps. Anyways of increasing the stock folder app to hold infinite apps like it used to be able to? I tried some on the market but they look like crap.
I think your only options are either folder apps (like Apps Organizer or Folder Organizer) or home replacements (Apex Launcher). Apex Launcher has good looking, customizable folder icons that can look either just like the HTC folders (square boxes with a 2x2 grid) or you can change them to circles or rounded boxes and have them display icons in a 3x3 grid or in a stack.
Of course if you use an alternate launcher, you miss out on all those great HTC Sense widgets.
Previously I've used the ADW launcher but have found every phone I've had become unmanageably slow over time. I've never been able to identify the problem but this time I'm trying to leave as many things stock as I can bear, starting with the launcher.
The default launches seems palatable enough but I can't workout how to resize widgets to fill the width of the screen.
Two of my favorite widgets to have on the home screen are "Fancy Widgets" (a clock/weather widget) and "Agenda Widget" (a calendar widget). Both these programs have several different sized widgets available but neither have widgets that are 5 cells wide. Is there a way to stretch the widget in the default launcher like one can in ADW?
Attached is an example of what my home screen currently looks like.
Thanks,
Slarti.
P.S.
I hope I'm asking this in the correct place.
(I wasn't able to find a Q&A section for G3 themes)
Uh, I've found that after releasing the agenda widget when dragging resize grippers become available on the corners.
This works perfectly to resize Agenda Widget to a 5x2 box.
Unfortunatly this doesn't work for Fancy Widgets.
It should be added as default feature

Click to expand...

I think it only works for default apps in the phone.
Hmmmm
Running stock(ish) OS on S8+
Got my setup "just so", and needed to change my DPI in Developer Options from default 411 to 514 (=411*1.25) to make use of larger screen real-estate I paid a premium for.
Option to resize the Home & App grids have disappeared, so even though app fonts & icon sizes are closer to what I desire, widgets on home screens look bad - scaled proportionately but padded to take up 125% space
Keeping the DPI & font sizes as-is, is there a way to tweak the grid sizes?
New launcher required
Seems this is an artifact of the launcher & not the "display manager".
Managed to get something approximating the outcome desired by making use of Nova Launcher
