Better Keyboard 8 layout.. - Nexus S Themes and Apps

For those BK8 users out there, is there a way to "center" the full QWERTY keyboard so that the middle line (starting with key "a") is more centered, and do not fill out to the left and right side of the screen?
While we're at it, does anyone know if there's an official name for both layouts? The more centered one and the spread out one.
EDIT: If you need an example, I mean this layout http://www.jayceooi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Android-2.3-Gingerbread-keyboard.jpg vs this layout http://betterandroid.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/11.png. How do I make BK8 look like the first picture?

Can I reduce the on-screen size of Scott's Launcher?

I only use one line of icons in Scott's Launcher. But, the program reserves enough screen space for two or three lines. Can I reduce the on-screen real estate to only accomodate the one line I need? If so, how? Thanks.

I want your theme.

Hello,
can you guys tell me if this is a standard theme that came with your s730? On my s710 I can only get either or (htc home screen with non of those recent program icons at the top, OR, the recent icons but no htc home..)
I would like this theme
Thats a modefied version of the default screen for the s730. That person edited the XML home page file and added the shortcuts ontop of the screen. Mine are larger and under the calender info bit.
The standard screen however is that without those shortcuts anywhere on the screen.
Ah thank you. I shall now try my hand at editing an xml file, haven't done that for awhile!
That looks like the MRU plugin CLD is smaller than the one I have... I tried to do this, but couldn't figure it out. How do you do that?

New TFL3D Clock

Has anyone developed an alternative to the TFL3D clock which i think is too big especially with the white back ground behind the digits. A smaller clock would be much better if like me you have photo's as wallpaper.
On your home Tab
Under the big clock you should have Call history and Calendar.
Right below that you should have an arrow head pointing downwards.
Place your thumb or finger there and swipe upwards
The clock will be reduced.
Hope this helps
yes that what i do at the moment and thats the sort of size i would like the clock to be. However if you do tasks and return to home the large clock reapears i just want permanently rid of the ugly large clock
Wierd
Try this
HKCU\software\HTC\Manila
Home.LastClockView
The value should be 1
(no harm in trying, right)

Question mark character

Dear xda-community,
since I did a few things with my phone ( rooted, applied new font, lagfix ) I have a few problems with the display of text.
In some parts of the text, there are question marks in boxes.
Not like they replace real letters, but they are somehow appended to some text, for example for the menu entry of Weather and Toggle Widgets.
Any idea what this could be and how to fix it?
If you want screens or further details just tell me and i'll add it.

Edit: By switching back to the default font, I figured out that it was the custom font. It was called Comfortaa as used here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752200
I used LauncherPro Plus with it and there were those question marks everywhere, maybe someone knows where this comes from, so I could make it work on my device.

Changing the number of rows and columns in Rosie.

Okay, I have successfully made Rosie do 5x5 and 4x5.
5x5 is what I wanted, but then every single widget would have to be edited to look right. - No.
4x5 lets the 4 column widgets work, and adds an extra row of icons to every screen. Only problem is, since each square of screen space is reduced to add the extra row, the last few lines of a widget are lost.
See attached 4x5 shot.
I know if I can remove some padding around the workspace screen, each cell would grow a little. I just can't find where to do it, and my fingers are getting numb from building and pushing the apk.
Does anybody know what padding settings I need to reduce to allow icon/widget cells to grow?
D
I done the same thing with the incredible when I had it.
There is a way to accomplish this but you are still going to have to edit the individual widgets to fit in the smaller space.
It's been a while but it's a pretty simple edit.
The main widgets that need to be changed are the clock, the calendar, and the people widget.
Sent from my B.A.M.F. Thunderbolt
Yeah, I've been down that road. I'm trying to avoid it though.
If I can recover enough space by removing the padding I shouldn't have to.
Just something I'll have to play with till I get it right I guess.
Thanks though!

This made me realize my mind has trouble interpreting grids phrased as [column]x[row]. I'm hard wired for row first, lol.
Does this look OK in landscape with 5 rows. This is where the problems usually begin for me wanting to use 5 rows.
If it's possible to cut that padding down to a bare minimum, it should fix the widget issue, at least a little bit.
