Hold down finger on widget then it should get an outline you can drag to make it bigger (if using touchwiz)

Press and hold the weather widget.
It will show rectangular box with yellow lines outlining the extents of the widget. Drag the triangular (steel coloured)marker to fit the whole area.
You need to have enough space to expand the widget to its maximum size.

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

[Q] SGS2 BIG weather widget

Hello. I tried quite a few different custom ROM's (Tiramisu Ultra 5.4 right now) and NOT ONE of them displays SGS2 weather widget as "advertised". It should be 4x1, or 4x2, but instead is 2x1. I followed every guideline by the book, so i'm pretty sure that is not my mistake. So, to make it short, all i want is that widget BIG. Can anyone tell me if they "lie" in those screenshots? or point me in the right direction...
Thank you in advance.
Only in TW4 launcher you can make it 4x1 or 4x2.
Of course. I know that TW4 is required, those custom ROM's are on TW4.
The trick to resizing the widget is to click and hold it (as u usually do to position a widget), wait until the homescreen zooms out fully (takes a second or whatever, but u need to wait), and then let go. Do not move your finger when you hold, keep it stationary. Now you can drag the bottom left corner of the widget to resize it
Don't blame you for not knowing this, it seems like not many people know I had to figure it out myself.

need tw4 change 4x2 / 4x1 / 2x2

Desktop Visualizer help

I'm using this app which rocks!!! I want to start customizing it even more but run into two issues:
1 - anyone know what the default icon size is? 12x12? 24x24? Etc?
2 - how do you get around the widget gap? I have two icons side by side and they are not flush.
Thanks!!!

1. Don't know the size for icons, but the area is 126x97, with 1 pixels between boxes.
2. Can't get around the space lengthways because it's designed for square icons.
Use one of the launcher programs that allows you to change # of rows/columns to make them square.
Look in the home screen posting thread, someone made all different sized icons for DV that have no spacing. They are all different sizes, 2x1, 2x2, and 3x3

Spotify widget

hi i just bought my nexus 6p today and i have a question is there any way for making spotify widget bigger 4x1 widget is too small
Using a custom launcher (I am using ADW), I can resize the widget to any size I want. However, the title bar at the top does not scale, only the buttons get bigger, and the album art on the left side gets taller, but not wider.
