You can also adjust your DPI in the build.prop on your phone assuming it is Rooted. try 260 or 280 and then set your icon rows and columns to 3 in ADW.Launcher

I am looking for an app that lets me customise icons, no matter which launcher is used like adw or launcher pro.
Any directions ?

adw and launcherpro have it built in, you can also use desktop visualizer (easiest) or folder orgenizer

yes for your homescreen, (and ONLY in dock), but I'm looking for a way to customize the icons everywhere (also in menu list and when adding a program to my homescreen, not in the dock)

luncher pro homescreen settings

I was messing around with the homescreen settings on luncher pro and I changed the number of columns and number of rows, so now my Icons and clock widgets are all F'ed up (not lining up). Anyone one knows what the default settings?
Not sure on exact default, but I believe 4 on columns and 5 on rows.
I'm pretty sure its 4 row 4 column pure default. Most people around here use the above stated 4x5 though that have launcher pro plus (To resize widgets)
I have pro and when I re size widgets, the widgets don't change size, just the surface area the widget parameters take up. I have tried on the weather channel wide widget, and the analog clock widget.
Is that normal?
Default is 4x4 but I find that 4 columns by 5 rows works really well in both portrait and landscape.
Tip: once you get it back to normal, make a backup copy through the settings menu, then fool with it to your hearts content and go back whenever you want!
Thanks boys for the replies. Its 4x4. Great F'ing app BTW.

Most widgets will just do that when you resize, but some widgets (such as the picture frame) will actually resize the entire widget instead of just the space that it takes up.

Hi there, to change the amount of dock icons on the bottom, go to the app that is Nova Settings, from there select the Dock sub-menu. From there you will see an option of Dock Icons, and you may choose as many as you want, from 1 to 7.
Hope this helps!
I'm also using NL, I like being able to lock the homescreens so my younger nieces don't mess things up. I do miss the TouchWiz calendar widgets tho.

Email Widget Font Size

Is there anyway to shrink the font size on the email widget? The widget is half my screen and I can only view 1.5 emails, I don't need it that big!
System Font size is set to Tiny.
What launcher are you using? With the default launcher it looks OK for me. Nova Launcher makes it use huge fonts. Other launchers just fail to display it at all -- GO Launcher crashes and Apex says the app isn't installed.
I'm using Nova

Hello i don't think this is possible. However i found out that theme changes make quite a difference in icon sizes. Some themes have much bigger icons.
Install a decent launcher and you can make the icons any size you like. Nova, for.example.
Yes Nova launcher is the best in my opinion
hold your finger on home screen then into home screen settings
homescreen grid to 5x5
apps screen grid to 5x5
my phone icons
