In Launcher Pro, landscape looks ugly. This is because I have 5 rows and 4 columns and it keeps this going into landscape. Except screens are rectangular and this is a horrible idea, making the icons jumbled together one way and way too spaced the other. I can't find a way to change the row/column number when switching to landscape. Of course it would have to rearrange the icons, but so what.

Can somebody tell me the difference between the advanced setting - "5 icon rows in homescreen", and the homescreen setting for setting number of rows / columns?
difference
Actually, I guess this is a setting specifically suitable and optimal for many devices with wide screens, in my device (motorola xt720) no difference is visible between the two choices.
The 5 row setting, as I understand it would only change rows, not columns, thus effecting resolution of the icons.
Changing both rows and columns allows you to maintain the same standard resolution by adding or subtracting the same number to each row and column count. This is how I think it works.
good to know
and affect amount of icons you can put in one screen
What exactly is the difference between a skin wallpaper and scene. It gives you all three options but i would think they are the same. Are all three of these combined a theme?
Wallpapers is the image behind the icons/widgets on ur pages.
Skin is a color layout for the sense UI.
Scenes save both of these plus your icon/widget layout, like profiles for your phone layout.
Maybe a stupid question.
I want to change the space between the icons in the background of my homescreen. Is that possible? I have Endymon 3.4, Launcher Pro. I want the icons to come closer to each other regarding the hight. To add one more row to put the icons in?
Edit: found it, stupid as I was i had already been there and changed the columns and rows to standard, therefore I did not noticed any changes!
--Preferences-->Homescreens Settings-->"Number of Columns" and Number of Rows"
I find the notch notification area unsatisfactory and kinda wanna restore a classic android feeling, I couldn't find any android theme or framework settings that gives me 2 rows of notifications. See my mockup for the idea, but basically I'd like to have a way to enable a second row of notifications that show icons you'd normally see in the horizontal view.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
I don't know what practicality they tried to achieve with this change. My guess is that this is just purely for looks, and by "looks", I mean their own sense of good-looking, because it does not even look good to me.
I use the "largest" font size setting in Settings -> Display -> Font Size, and even then fonts like the icon label seem rather small. But the text for the names in Settings like "Network and Internet" is unnecessarily huge. Maybe this "largest" setting also increased the size of QS, but they look unnecessarily big.
I used to be able to have 6 QS buttons in one row and a brightness bar. Now freaking 4 QS buttons take up two rows. And they have texts llike "Internet", "Torch", "Bluetooth", etc, which I don't need to read. If I swipe down once more, 8 even thicker QS buttons take up like 60% of the screen, and the first actual notification banner is placed about 80% of the screen from the top. Basically, I would have to always scroll up to see notifications.
Why did they change the QS like this? Who likes this? Or do people like this and I am the weird one? Wasn't this change called Material You, meaning the UI will be more customisable for the user's taste? What customisability is there other than the ability to choose the accent colour, all changes I can see is unnecessarily big things that the developers have chosen for me, and are not allowing me to customise. Why can't they learn from custom ROM's? Custom ROM's have far more customisable QS and Notification. I would rather call those "Material You", and Google's Android 12 "Material Google".
