Has anyone tried to decrease the size of the app drawer by about half? The reason I ask is because with advanced launcher I only have 2 rows of icons and don't really need the black space. Optimally I would like it to end just above the first 2 rows of icons, mainly because a lot of people use the flip clock widget which would make it still visible with the app drawer up.
No one knows how if this is even possible.

Hey guys, I have a general question about home screen icons.
I want be able to add large icons (application shortcuts to be exact) to my desktop. I'm on ADW launcher, and know where the option is to change the icon size under the New Icons menu. However, changing the size here affects all my desktop icons. I just want a few larger, not all of them.
I've tried Multicon which does allow icon resizing, but resizing the icons makes them blurred and a little pixelated. I've also tried desktop visualizer.
So my question is: is there any way to resize a home screen icon without affecting the size of all the home screen icons?

I'm pretty sure Desktop Visualizer should be able to do this. I know with widgets you can do this and I'm sure with icons because I've changed the size of my icon. Oh and you have to create the icon at least bigger than 72x72 in order for it not to be pixelated or blurry. Other than that I'm not sure. sorry.
I got it. There is an option to download add-ons for Desktop Visualizer. It's called DVRsizeconfigtool. Thanks man.

I've been using MIUI for a while now - main reason being the icons are spaced out with correct size. With 5 rows and 4 columns their sizes look like iphone. But when i use the same 5x4 with other lauchers the icons and the labels are too small for me to read..Not sure why?
I'd love to use APEX or nova if i can get the same layout as miui - they're more flexible for icon change and app drawer etc..
Any ideas or tips?
First one suggestion-It would be nice to add transparent option for BlinkFeed,and now a question: I set transparent app drawer at 80% and it works ,but when I enter to apps menu from blinkfeed my drawer is 100%,so the point is that I think that drawer is inconsistent ,or maybe I have that problem only

You have luck, that I actually saw your post
Transparent BF is on the list already. And for the app drawer: That's how it worky by HTC. They remove the BF from the layout stack when the app drawer gets shown. That way it has a solid black background. So basically it is consistent as 80% drawer on black background results in a black background
I wanted to put my App Drawer on the Shortcut Clock, but it wasn't available to add in the Gear Manager clock configurator.
I found a free drawer app on Play Store that works perfectly. The icon it provides for the TW shortcut dock is a perfect match to the Gear's icon style, too. I can't post links yet, but the app is "AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer)" by JakedUp.
You will need to install something that allows you to access the app menu with a gesture, in order to configure it. But the default drawer style is a single-column icon list with titles, which will probably work for most people.
I set mine to have: 2 rows, 2 columns, horizontal scrolling, 15 point type, icon size 100, icon spacing 6. That makes it look like the Gear's default app drawer, but with icon titles.
Hi there, I've tried to change the phone's DPI, but there's something weird...navbar, statusbar and shortcuts panel do not change with the rest of the interface! Looks like these elements cannot be modified, even with adb commands.
Has someone tried to do this thing too? Not a big issue, but the shortcuts' panel is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too big for me.
No one?
I'm interested to know too. The notification bar is ridiculously tiny and there seems no way to resize it so it's easily readable.
I'm now using widgets just so i can see the time and battery power. Using a launcher that shows notifications on the apps on my home screen too.
Never had a problem like this with my pixel 2. Notification bar was legible out of the box
