New Pixel Launcher App Icons are now all inside a circle... - Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Is it just me who noticed this? For me this looks ugly

I don't really have an opinion either way. I see why it might upset some people, for naturally square icons like Gmail it looks funny but I think the round maps icon is cool and chrome has always been round!

This is not news to me either.
If it annoys me too much (and I do not think it will), I could always use a 3rd party launcher and an icon pack.

True,
Assistant is part of the nav bar so you won't even lose that.

pixel launcher is not appealing to me at all either

Honestly i think its slicker and cleaner the google launcher so +1 for me also who actually uses stock launchers anyway.
+1 Nova launcher here and im a beta user

White notification bar and camera app question

Is it possible to get the white "droid like" taskbar on a desire? Also, the camera app in my opinion is not as nice as this one

Can you change this with a simple apk?
Thanks in advance, i looked trough the threads but couldnt find anything..
More than a 100 views and nothing?
i'd also really like to know if possible to switch between the stock android and the black sense notification bar
i know theyre different software but perhaps this can be achieved through a theme or something?
The white topbar is doable, it's done in many roms, and there are plenty of people doing this.
Camera app may be as simple as having Root and finding an APK of the stock 2.1 camera app, and installing over HTC's, or it may just not work altogether.
Wow. Didn't think many people would want the white bar. It's been the standard for a while, and it's one of the things I, and I think many others, like about Sense. Would be kind of neat if they made it where you could adjust the color of it to anything you wanted or could adjust the opacity of it.
Amoled wants black user interface for battery-saving.

As an avid GV user, i can't wait for something like this to come to our Vibrant.
It works great on the vibrant.

thank you so much! so just install this over current installation?
Yep!
It is a 3x1 widget, if you use ADW or similar I recommend resizing to 4x1, it looks better....

awesome, it works fine. i always hated having to get into the program first before texting. now it's all in one click!
Totally needed it to be 4 by 1. The 3 by 1 looks very unbalanced. Does ADW let you resize the widget for free? I have to pay Launcher Pro for this feature.
Yeah, it's free. When you add the widget a pop-up asks how big you want it to be. I used to be all about LP then I went to switching back and forth and i haven't been back in a while...

Recent apps on notification pulldown.

I thought this was kinda cool on the new myTouch.

Think outside the box....
Also, our Nexus one has the Desire 720HD video, camera, music, albums, Samsung launcher and icons, Acer launcher, MIUI power widgets, Droid animation start up, and many many more things... implementing a little of this and a little of that to create the best ROM.
Adding this to our Nexus would be a win.
Get busy then
I posted a thread about this a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798760
so far no good replies.....I remember reading something about not being able to draw in to the notification menu, so it seems to be rom dependent. I'm not sure about that though .
In any case, for the mean time I recommend using itching thumb as a task manager / switcher.
Also, I feel like this thread should be moved to development or themes and apps.....

Problem using Multi-picture LW with ADW EX Launcher

I've been using Multi-picture LW with GO Launcher and it's working well. Now since GO Launcher doesn't have the option to add Launcher Action buttons/icons in the homescreen, and since I need those to achieve the customization I like, I've been forced to use ADW EX Launcher.
*That doesn't mean I hate using ADW, I just think GO Launcher is more of my cup of tea.
Well the thing is, Multi-picture LW doesn't work well with ADW. Whenever I go to a different homescreen, the pictures doesn't change. And when I tried to remove the pics, it gives me a blank screen saying I'm looking at Screen 2, although I'm on a different screen. I try moving to a different screen, it still says screen 2.
Any ideas?
UPDATE!
Here's a screenshot so you'll know what I'm talking about:
{
"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"
}
Notice that the Screen Indicator clearly says that its in the 3rd screen, but Multi-picture LW says its one the 2nd screen. Weird.

New Launcher Idea

I've asked this question before but I'm looking for a Launcher alternative. Back in 1995 there was a PC operating system competing with Windows. I think it was called Xerox Tabs, but I cannot confirm that.
The home screen looked like a Franklin Daily Planner with Tabs on the side.
I'd like an Android launcher like that. I'd like to be able to customize the tabs, what opens each time you click the tab, and the over all appearance of the launcher.
I've seen something similar called Opus Dimini in iPad, but it's not a launcher. I've also used 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"
}
But it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I think we would need more than just a theme, but really a launcher with pages that flip, and you can display anything from widgets to icons and folders.
Is anyone up to this? Or know of something that would work?
Thanks in advance.

I think that Total Launcher can do what you want. I've made and use a similar theme with tabs:

Total launcher is the only launcher which let you completely change the look and functionality of home screen.
