[Q] Icon packs in Nova, Apex etc. - Sony Xperia M2

Hello.
Does anyone here use icon packs in Nova, Apex etc.?
I'm asking because I have a problem on our M2.
So, icons seem to be fuzzy, I mean they have "sketchy" edges. I tried multiple launchers and multiple icon packs and the problem persists.
Here, some screens about what I'm talking:
{
"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"
}
You see on the screenshots that icon edges are pixelated.
I talked to some icon pack developers and they say that this might be because of M2's pixel density. So, could anyone explain what causes this?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers :good:

[MOD REQ] Launcher2 with more screens

As the title indicates, I was wondering if someone could possibly edit/mod the Launcher2.apk found in CM 5.0.6 to add more home screens preferably 7 if not more. I'm sure there are other people that would like this feature but I dont not know how to do it otherwise I would.
And YES I know about HelixLauncher2 but I do not like that launcher because it does not have the 5 column tray and seems to not fling through the app list as fast as Launcher2 from CM. Although it does have the short cuts which is nice but I dont like how it does not have the dots to show which screen you are on.
Here are 2 ways I've found from other Launchers that you could incorporate the addition of more home screens.

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.

[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!

Notification Icons color change (White > Black)

Hi Guys,
I have just wanted to know, if you can help me with one tweak I still need to be satisfied by a new design of the homescreen I want to accomplish/reach..
Here is the issue/request for help:
{
"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"
}
I would like to change the color of the notification icons as it is not as huge issue as I would try to express, but it is like I would like to have that design feeling done.
Is there any way ? I have searched the theme shop for some icons, but none of those are actually black/grey, etc.
My launcher (Buzz launcher) cannot do anything about it too.
Any help, guys ?
If so or not, anyway, thank you for your response.
Cheers.

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.
{
"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 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.
