I have my screen grid set to the largest it can be (12x12) in order to position my widgets as granular as possible. Of course this makes any app icons on the homescreens very small. There is an option to resize the icons in the settings under Home Screen, but it won't let me increase the icons above a certain level (right now it's 97%, but I've seen it as low as 72%). But even setting the icon size as high as it will go doesn't seem to affect the homescreen icons; they're still very small, definitely not even close to the icon size in the dock. I've been using Giganticon as a work-around to make the icons as big as I want, but this naturally doesn't work with notification badges. Is there a way to override the artificial limits on the Nova settings to increase the icon size?

Hi
I have a Samsung i9000. When I scroll left/right in the homescreen the background image slides to the left/right, but at a slower speed than the icons. This means that when i scroll left the background moves by only 25%. Are there any mods that will make the background scroll at the same speed as the icons, so I customise a different background image for each home screen?
Thanks

Is it possible to modify the notification bar font such that you can fit more? We have this nice large screen and the stock configuration just fills everything up if you have a few apps such as gentle alarm, task manager, quick settings...
I'm looking for a launcher that can adjust icon size and text size for both the icons on the home screen as well as the icons in the app drawer. Also needs to be able to adjust number of columns and rows.
Best I've found so far is ADW Launcher EX - allows one to adjust icon text size and icon size for the home screen icons, but the icons become blurry when enlarging, so rather pointless.
Or is there an easy way of doing this manually?
Or you could use an application to change the LCD density. Search on market for LCD Density. You should find plenty.
I want to change the app icon size so that they will be as tall as the widgets on the main screen (like FM radio or bluetooth). I know you can do this with widgets like the clock. Is this possible? If so, how can this be done?
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".
