So I was reading a comic book lately and I had an idea of perhaps having tiles overlapping each other in a sense like a comic book page? Would something like this be possible with this app? Or is there another one out there that does something like this?
csb.........
excuse me?
You can do it in a simple way:
1.- You must use LauncherPro Plus (paid) or ADWLauncher (free)
2.- Configure LPP or ADW to make your homescreen 10x10, i.e. 10 files and 10 rows.
3.- Put the Desktop Visualizer icons in your homescreen.
Thats all. The 10x10 configuration allows you to overlap icons.
I hope you find this useful.
Cheers!

Is there any tool to change default softbuttons? Or any hack able to replace ugly launcher tab with simple grid of icons of programs I want to launch directly? Default system with submenus is nice, but to actually run app you have to go through tons of submenus...
you can find infos+files and a link to the customize post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468547
customization is pretty much done like in with the original sbp-mobile-shell.
you have to change the xml-files in "qa_layouts.dat" and bitmaps in a vew other files.

Problem is, that there is only tip to app called keyswop, but it changes global softkeys, not the ones used in SPB panel. I wanted to change Recent/Contacts at the bottom of screen to something else...
Any more tips?
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)
Could someone please tell me how they are getting icons using desktop visualizer but with no text underneath?
I'm using desktop visualizer + adw.launcher + openhome rom.
I've tried removing app names in adw, which removes the text under the shortcuts, but doesn't remove the text under widgets? How's everyone else doing it?? All I wanted was 1x1 iphone (or similarl) style widgets but now I get the 1x1 widget with text half overlapping the bottom of the image, and it looks crap. Any ideas?? Thanks.
Also, when I choose 'dockbar' in adw, the dockbar stays exactly the same? It doesn't look like the dockbar image, but stays as the standard dockbar, even after restarting adw, or restarting phone (see link below).
"DockBar - turn on/off the new (secondary) dockbar"

Sam.
Sorry, I've solved the first issue, just by deleting the label text in desktop visualizer and then adding a 1x1 widget, no text appears. So obvious! Doh.
Still can't get the nice reflective dockbar going though. Any ideas?
Aha, solved it, I didn't realise the dockbar was dragable! Press on the app button in adw.launcher and dragging up reveals the secondary bar
I know this thread is all my posts so far, but they might help someone.
Is there a launcher that allows widgets to not have margins? I want my widgets to be close together. I cant find a way to do it.
You have to use something like nova and choose like a 10x10 grid..that's the only way I think would work.

Im using nova and any grid size just doesn't work right. Say you have a 4x2 widget. Then you set Nova to 10x10. Now set the 4x2 widget. To make it look right the size changes to 10x3. Just doesnt work. Basically I want to put 3 widgets on my screen. one thats a 5x2, 5x3 and 5x3. So I would need a grid size of 8x5. But If I set it to that the widgets dont fit at all. Its because the widgets have to be re-sized so big to look right.
BUMP Until I get a answer
The only suggestion I could find for your question isn't free. Next Launcher allows you to freehand resize all widgets (meaning does not "snap to grid" resize) , even overlap. This is the lite version so you can try before you buy...

Lefty is exactly right. I've been using next launcher 3D and that's actually one of my favorite features that NO other launchers can accomplish (that I know of).
Some widgets just have funky dimensions, so it's nice to able to resize and place them literally anywhere on the screen. They can partially overlap as much or as little as you'd like.
This can also be done with apps...it looks messy, but you can turn off the grid completely and place the app icons wherever you want. You can even rotate the icons! And I won't even get into all the 3d features...I could go on forever. This is by far my favorite launcher and I've used quite a few.

The issue im having is this. No matter what launcher I use. Next 3D included. If I make the GRID Size 10 x 5 I should be able to have many widgets on my screen. So a 4x2 weather and a 4x3 Pulse and then a 3x4 Hangouts Widget and then a 2x2 photo. So I should just need a 4 x 9 grid right. Wrong because the grid is so big the a widget at 4x2 ends up being a 4x4 to view it all. I need a launcher that allows the widgets to show correctly at the default widget size. So I want a 10 x 5 grid size to actually hold more then 3 widgets. Nova Launcher is the same way. Just with Nova you can adjust the margins anymore then the 3 sizes included. With next you can make your own. But still I cant fit the 5 widgets on my screen that I want. Weather, Gmail, Hangout, Photo, Pulse. I want all those in there default widget sizes. I dont understand why making the grid size bigger makes the widgets bigger. In windows or Mac OSX when I make the rez bigger it doesnt make anything else bigger.

I started playing with Zooper Pro and after figuring out how to use it, I think I did ok. I am a Star Trek fan, but found that most LCARS themes were too busy and not actually usable. This is my first attempt at making my own home screen, so feedback is welcome.
I'm using Nova Launcher on a Galaxy S7. The calendar is Simple Calendar Widget and the weather is Eye In The Sky. The folders (orange icons in the lower center) are a mix of Zooper widgets pointing to folders created in Folder Organizer. The icon pack is Whitcons
Still to do:
-Skin the folders themselves to look like an LCARS window opening up.
-Skin the app drawer to match
-Figure out how to theme the lockscreen as well without breaking Samsung Pay.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. I'll tweak some things and post here. If not, I can post zips.

Thanks!
The "Environmental" section (weather) doesn't look right to me, but I can't figure out how to change it to make it work.
Awesome work you've done there. Is there still progress on the Widgets?
I'm very interested in it.
