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?

Can anyone give suggestions on how to get an icon to overlap multiple slots. Launcherpro allows you to resize widgets, but if you use an icon to resize it doesn't make it bigger just centers it, thoughts?
I've never tried this but what if you reduced the number of rows and columns?

Download Desktop Visualizer from the market
THanks Toatman!!
large icon
Glad to help
Does anyone know how to make the icons in the dock of LauncherPro bigger? I have put some icons on my dock but they are too small for my liking. I have searched this board and online for a while, and I haven't found a solution.
I just want my dock icons bigger.
bump - anyway to do this ?
Don't think you can make them bigger. I think the size is 84x84 but if the icons you're using has transparent pixels around it, that would make it seem smaller.
You could try lcd density changer, and just go bigger instead of smaller like everyone else is doing. Default is 240, try 280 maybe.

That's the only thing I know of off hand.
And I don't know if that is HC compatible. The market says it is, but it may still cause problems. Try sending a direct message to the youtube user if you don't want to chance wasting the buck.
Desktop Visualizer - Free -Allows for custom shortcuts with adjustable size and custom pictures
ADW EX -1.99? - Allows for adjustable icon size and custom pictures but icons max size is confined to a 1x1 grid.
Yeah I just came back to mention DV. I forgot all about adding it as a widget to make icons of any size =P
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.
Been playing arond with varous apps to increase the font and icon sizes, and wondered whats the max icon size (in pixels) I can use on the note?
Looking round for some hi-res icons that are larger than default, some of the apps Ive used tend to zoom in, which look awful.. I want to make the most out of the phones res....
Would also help when trawling through the thousands of icon packs, to find ones that have bigger icons...
Love my new note, sold my gs2 to get one, best move Ive made!
Cheers
EDIT:
Ive got an icon pack (zip file) which contains icons of 125x125 pixel, hi res, and am using GO Launcher EX with grid of 5 rows 4 columns, and I the icons aeem the same size.. I notice when I move an icon, and the grid shows, the spaces between the drid marks is huge, how do I make my icons use more of this space???
I think Go Launcher automatically re-sizes the icons. Don't know if GO has an option to turn it off, but i know ADW has it.
the Note is xhdpi (320 dpi)
(Extra-high density screen)
96x96

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?
