Can't figure out how to remove spacing with Apex Launcher

Hopefully this is the right forum. I wasn't sure where to put this thread,.
The Nexus 4 has been my first Android phone. Now that I've had about a month to get used to Android, I decided it was time to start having fun with it. I installed UCCW and Apex Launcher and I've been teaching myself how to use them.
I came across this homescreen, and I'm trying to base my own homescreen off of it:
http://mycolorscreen.com/2013/02/25/ubuntu-touch/
So far, this is what I've come up with:
{
"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"
}
My question is, how do I remove the margin/spacing between widgets? In the picture above, it's most noticeable between the "Notifications" title and the weather. I really haven't figured out spacing at all. Changing my homescreen grid to 10x6 helped, but it still isn't quite what I need.

Overlay

Hi guys and girls.
just thought id give the app "Overlays" a mention.
Basically it allows you to float any of your installed widgets on top of your screen so that they are still visible when using your apps/browser etc.
The app also allows you to size and set the transparency of the widgets.
Its really easy to use and there is a lite version for you to play with - see more at the XDA portal thread.....
Overlays Thread
Its pretty cool and well worth a shout, especially for us tablet owners :good:

[Q] What launcher is this/how do I get this look?

I'm kinda new to the customize your android thing but I do have some knowledge about it. Also excuse me if this type of threads are not allowed here. I want to know how do I get this minimalist look like if its by launcher or rooting or else. I appreciate your help
It appears that the images are unavailable. The images were from Naxos flat icon pack the rocket one and the red and white one.

Hi,
You need root access to modify system apks but the theme part can be taken care of by using 3rd party launchers like Nova. Apex and so on.
Have a look at themer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer
There are lots of preloaded homescreen templates you can use!

[APP][4.0+][ALPHA] XIcon - Add icon with shadow to your preferred launcher

I like Shadow! XIcon is the app will help you add Icon with Shadow to your launcher.
Please notice that it's ALPHA only now, everything may changes, and it's my first app, I am a noob to Android development, so this app will MUST be buggy

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to use:
Pick the Xicon widget in your launcher, then select your icon, and shadow style.
Changelog
0.0.1 - ALPHA release.

Great idea buddy!
Why it stop working? Kitkat here..
I can add it as a widget but nothing appears (transparency is ok here). Not showing anything.
So when I delete the widget it says: Xicon stopped.
Nice idea but I guess need Nova support

Home screen internet shortcuts losing their icon

Whenever I restart my phone (Note8/Android 7.1.1/Nova Launcher), the icon of an internet shortcut on my home screen changes to the default Android icon. I think it also happens if I change resolution too. I've attached screenshots if my description isn't clear. The problem icon is the one second from left.

My S8+ didn't do this. Both running Nova Launcher. Can't test my S8 though seeing it's smashed and gone to phone heaven.
The standard touchwiz launcher doesn't have this problem, so it seems to be a nova launcher thing.
I've searched but can't seem to find anyone else with this problem.
