I am using ADW Launcher EX on my Desire, however, I wondered if there was a way to place icons on the Homescreen(s), but not have them align to the grid?
I would like to put 3 icons on one line of my homescreen, with equal spacing at either side.
I hope this makes sense? Is there anyway to do this?
Very roughly, I want to go from this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Have you tried desktop visualiser from market.

good morning,
I think you can do this job on two ways.
First you can variegate your desktop columns. For example to 5.
Second way is to install the "simi folder widget". With this app you can adjust the size of your icon. This app can be so useful and looks very nice.
I hope I could help you.

But this would Screw up the top column, there would be a gap in there?

I have simi folder widget installed and have been using it, however, I cannot figure out how to resize the size of the icon (I know how to resize the Icons within the folder, but not the actual Widget Icon).
Thanks for the help

I use adw with 10 columns and rows,
[1] unlock desktop,[ 2]longpress homescreen select widgets.[ 3] select DV (1x1)small [4]configure 1c+1r [5]dv on homepage short press to options.[ 6]select icon now image if you want to change the application looks or just select application icon.scroll to app and select.[7] now select action,press launch app.select the app, if you dont want a label select clear.press ok and you now have the icon on homepage in the look you want but very small [8]longpress on icon and press option edit. [9] You now have 4 arrows and you can drag and enlarge to wherever you want. Hope this helps.
PS play around with the dv size options a well.
I know how you feel, Ive been wanting the ability to go "of the grid" ever since i started using android. (My last win mobile rom allowed me the ability to but any icon anywhere on the screen, including half on one screen half on another, stacking icons and so on.)
However I think for your situation the easiest solution would be to just change to 9 or 7 columns as follows
_#_#_#_#_
__#_#_#__
or
#_#_#_#
_#_#_#_
You can keep your equal spacing and have your icons staggered

I made this theme from Ultimate Launch and rlToday.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Although I know rlToday can make buttons, too, I need a separate launcher to replace the small rows of buttons at the very bottom (WM5 New Menu, Phone, Calendar, and Contact)
I want to place it outside of UL so when I spin the UL cube, this last row of buttons don't move. Any ideas?
You could use any other launcher like iLauncher. But probably it will not support the same icons or layout options as UL. Alternatively (and if you don't mind that the icons DO move when you move the UL cube) you can use "combined Tabs" in UL. This means you turn every tab of the UL cube into a combined tab. In the upper part every combined tab you put what you have on the UL cube tabs now. To the second, lower part of every combined tab you assign your four bottom icons. So when you move the cube the lower part will also move but will show the same links/icons on very side=tab of the cube. I tried this at least for one tab and I'm not sure if it works with same links/icons on more than one tab. At least for links it should. For today plugins it will not, I think.
Play a little bit with the UL settings and you will find out how if works for you.
Cheers,
Derek.

I was thinking about that, too. The problem is that if I don't have a lot of icons in one of the cube to fill up the space, the four bottom buttons will move up.
But anyways, I did find Battery Status from that Aurora theme to be pretty useful. I played around with the theme and kinda made it into my own. Now it won't rotate w/ UL
I'm pretty sure you can somehow prevent the buttons from moving up with the UL settings. But anyway, you already made it. I think I will try BS as well.

I was looking for a black version of the Manilla clock to swap with the white default one but i can't find any.
I downloaded one off Marketplace but it did not work.
Is there any available for the Desire?
Cheers.

The flip clock like the one in your top left picture.
Top left picture is an app called Weather and Toggle Widget. You can download all sorts of different colours and styles for the clock.
It's very cheap to buy but also free if you know where to look and do not wish to support the dev.
Thanks for the replies.
I have downloaded this app and installed some clocks but they don't show
Any idea what i might be doing wrong?
Thanks.

Go to your apps menu, select "Weather & Toggle". Scroll to the bottom and select "Install clock skin from SD card". Press once on the theme you want then press OK. Go to home screen and watch the clock change!

Thanks for the reply and sorry to be a bother but i am still having some problems.....
When i choose install clock skin from SD card i point it to theme but it only asks what i want to open the file with.
Maybe i am downloading the wrong themes.....can you point me to a compatable theme so i can try please?
Thanks.
The only themes i have used are from the same menu as "Install clock skin from SD". The option is "Clock skin downloader".
Then i follow the steps i stated above after choosing a black one.
I have followed your steps and i get a message saying themes has been installed successfully but there is no change to my home screen.
I will keep trying.
You have added the widget to your homescreen haven't you? lol.
Don't mean to be patronising but it's a case of add Weather and clock widget to homescreen. Download clock skin, apply clock skin. Done. That's all there is too it.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, or if it's been asked before [if it has I haven't found it!], but I was wondering if there was a way I could add either more columns or more rows to my applications screen? Is there an app that can do this for me?
Thanks in advance.

Try http://www.appbrain.com/app/launcherpro/com.fede.launcher
I installed it and the program doesn't actually come up in my Applications, am I doing something wrong? I got it from the Market.
Install home switcher too then. Run that program and then choose to run launcherpro. Its a different home. Meaning you will have to configure everything on your home screen from new on. But just try it . Your old home will be still there and with the home switcher you can choose wha tyou want to run. Oh and to configure it press in the home menu button and then preferences and play with it a little.
Launcherpro will not appear in the applications list. Use the Home button and hold it until you get a pop-up menu where you can select between sence and lanucherpro.

Thanks for the swift reply - before I actually read them I was fiddling about and figured out what I need to have done, thank you both. However I was looking for something with a more stock look per-se, with the option to actually being able to add more columns and rows into the Application Drawer, not the live Home screen.
Not sure if I'm making any sense? Sorry, I'm fairly new at all this!

What I'm trying to achieve is to have more icons down on the dock [in that applications view and the live home screen], and to add another column so there's not 4 but 5...
Thanks for the fast reply!
Hehe that I understood and you can do it with launcher pro 5 columns in app drawer and it can have even an 3D effect .
I mean the stock look , you mean the touchwiz look or vanilla look?
Which ever came with the phone - don't know the name sorry!
Is there any possibility to organize apps into folders in the menu and not only on the homescrees? Having 300+ apps can really be a pain in the ass when searching for a particular one, not to mention it would be great to have apps organized by type, e.g., games, system, social.
Dunno what adw launcher does , but there are apps on the market who can help you with organizing. I never did cuz it never made any sense to me. Too much work and I wont use it anyway. Boss was very proud of his organization of the apps and it took him always longer to find the app he needed in the folders....

Press and hold on the widget and drag it in front of the samsung one or drag the samsung widget to trash.

You're welcome
You can extend the widget by swiping from the top of the widget to bottom of the screen, you'll see a rectangle around it as you swipe. And as far as I know currently there is no option to make it extended by default (at least on stock rom)
How do you make the widget bigger?
Hello,
the widget looks tiny on my screen, how do I make it bigger, to fill more the screen? It doesn't look good like this.
Thank you

I guess you didn't understand what I mean.
I mean, make the widget bigger, not extend the informations. Like make the time numbers bigger, everything bigger so it doesn't look so small. Not extend to show more info by swiping down... I am not that stupid

Currently you can't change the size of the widget elements. I know that a lot of users want that including me. You can see all of the requests and issues here https://code.google.com/p/dashclock/issues/list

I've only been messing around with zooper for a week or so, and it is still absolutely phenonemal. I love it. Here, I will share some widgets that I've created in my own free time. Check back here every once in a while, I may add new ones.

Sweet, question, is it possible to replace the crosshair in the 'where am i'-thingy with a picture or shape, so that I could use a pin like in G-maps f.e.?

I don't know exactly how to to do it, but you might be able to get it to work by removing the 2 progress bars that form the crosshairs, then adding in a bitmap of your choice, and meddling with the x/y offsets in advanced parameters to have its position based on #LLAT# and #LLONG#. Hope this helps.

Thnx for the great work! Love the widgets you made!
