[Q] LauncherPro bad graphic rendering

Hi all!
I'm detecting this odd issue. LauncherPro has a bad graphic rendering.
There are two screenshot attached, the first comes with launcherpro and the second with sense ui.
Why the shadows in the sense clock widget looks like a single transparent bar instead of the shadow "gradient"? It looks like i've saved the LP screenshot with a web image compression (jpg artifacts or similar)
How can I increase rendering quality in LauncherPro?
P.s: sorry for my crappy english.
(up, please)
are they saved as .png or what file format? Did you check the quality of them before uploading to phone to use on launcherpro? could you duplicate the issue at that time?
Yes, they are saved in png. Quality is the best i could save.
As above in the screenshot, the same widget looks with different image rendering.
It's not caused by image quality, but by LP rendering.
I can duplicate the issue even now.
Sorry, sorry sorry!
Verry OT but... what kind of sense clock widget do you use?
I love it!

That's fancy widget, but I've re-edited the images in the original apk.
If you want that modded version, see attachment
Thx buddy! Looks great!!
I have the exact same problem on my Galaxy S.
With a widget having the best hdpi image quality available I can see in launcherpro that the graphics are like compressed images where in other launchers it is very smooth. I really like Launcherpro but this is an issue for me, a big enough issue to switch to another launcher.
I do see that with the launcherpro widgets the compressed issue is not there...
oh, and when i start to 'scroll' through the homescreen (eg. put your finger on screen and start dragging but stop while maintaining your finger on screen) the graphic quality is smooth again. If you enable high quality on scroll option this behavior is not there...bad quality again...
this also occurs in other launchers, zeam, adw launcher, helix, ... (possibly because they all are based on the same 'source'???)
all expose the same 'behaviour'. The default launcher (on Samsung Galaxy this is touchwiz launcher) the graphics are very smooth.
A workaround for this is apparently to set a livewallpaper as your background.
Any live wallpaper will do to get the nice smooth graphics back.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's true. A live wallpaper sets the quality to be smoothly. But in launcher pro they really slow down performances. It doesn't happen with HTC Sense, which it remains smooth.
That's very odd.

[Q] Asus day scene live wallpaper misaligned

Hi,
I recently flashed the CyanogenMod 10 V6 ROM on my Asus Transformer TF101. I am quite happy with the ROM but the launcher seems to have a litle bug in combination with the Asus day scene live wallpaper. On the first screenshot it shows the correct aligning of the wallpaper. After I apply the wallpaper it gets misaligned, it is placed too high. Is there an easy fix for this? After installing another launcher like Holo Launcher the problem is gone but I prefer the Trebuchet Launcher .
Any fixes for this?
Nobody?

You have to disable "stretch"in launcher settings!
When I was having troube placing a photoshopped logos.sys (It's now safe to turn off your computer seen as Windows 95s and 98s) as a background, I ended up coming across the Image 2 Wallpaper app (free, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.wallpaper). It resolved the cropping and streching problem that gallery is infamous noted for doing
for the lols, I photoshopped the message to, "It's now safe to turn off your tablet" (see attached)

Which Launcher are you using on MAX 2?

Hey guys, I am still on EUI Laucher, but i wana change. Have you tryed Google PIXEL Launcher, there is no official support, but you can downloand apk. ANy tips od experinece?
I am using stock launcher I do not see anything bad with it, personally I do not like the app drawer , however before using stock launcher, I used to use next 3d lsuncher, and google now launcher which was really smooth, I did like it.
The stock launcher is fine but I use Go Launcher mainly to eliminate the live button.
I have tried Pixel Launcher and its nice.
But my preferred Launcher is NOVA because it have many useful customisation and drawer tab support.

Google Pixel launcher
I have been using SquareHome forever now. Before that Lightning Launcher. Both very customisable, SquareHome is Windows 10 style with tiles rather than icons.
I like that a lot - Notifications on the tile, live tiles, great overview, easy on resources.
I am on 21S and currently using the Pixel launcher. I'd prefer to use Nova launcher because it can mimic Pixel launcher and has the added advantage of nougat-like long press functions and you can use a Pixel icon pack to get all round icons. But I find that Nova launcher has issues with the multitasking selection cards on this phone - it won't show a card for the homescreen like it does on other launchers, so you can't close the last open app/page. Anyone else found this? It also has weird scaling compared to other launchers - at 100% all the icons are much too small. To get them at what I'd consider a normal size you need to set them at about 125-130%.

In the ROM section.
Trebuchet or CM standard
I got tons of Android devices and I'd go crazy if each and every one was different. So I not only try to use a stock Cynogenmod launcher but also make sure that applications are in the same place across devices.
I'm even using Trebuchet on my Note 3, which uses a hybrid Note 3/Note 7 TouchWiz ROM somebody put together to offer Marshmallow features on the Note 3, which has long since been abandoned by Samsung.
Not only is Trebuchet available on all devices, it also has the minimal amount of "Google" in it.
I value my privacy far more than Google's "added value". So no "Google now", no Google search on the phone, nano GAPPS. Essentially I just want the Play Store, nothing else from Google.
Too bad they are not satisfied with that...
The best is nova launcher, fast and very recomendable
