What do your X Screens look like?

It annoys the crap out of me that folder organizer images need to be ever so slightly wider to fit the last column of icons....i had to stop using it.


I'm not seeing that issue here.

Using default skin, 5 columns and options button in toolbar.

yours look good....Idk. I always seem to have the issue you can sort of see in CanopicJar's screens where the icon &/or text seems to hang over. Not sure if its something I'm doing wrong, but it seemed simple enough to set up so i dunno.

But in anycase if I can get Launch-X to work with custom icons i dont think I'll miss it.

I think it may have to do with using 5 rows. Because this shrinks the amount of space dedicated to a single row, I've had some issues with certain widgets. FO is one of them. I think FolderOrganizer might force the widgets to maintain a certain aspect ratio (relative to height/width) so it shrinks the widget to maintain this ratio. That's why the width of three row widgets is smaller than two row widgets, which are smaller than single row FO widgets.

I'm sure this is fixable, but I'm willing to wait than go back to using just 4 rows.
 
Heres my current layout on my rooted DX (or was yesterday at least) nothing special or new, just got ideas from what i've seen from others and organized how i liked it

lockscreen: widget locker w/ sense lockbar, tajim, and battstatt

mainscreen: launcher pro plus, nexus revamped pro live wallpaper with a background from zedge, battstatt, weather and toggle with glass clock, icons are kind of a mashup of droid and others ive picked up along the way

I just changed to 4 rows and changed to Simple skin and I can't reproduce the problem.

You might check for updates (Market... options button... download), then drag the folder to the trash and re-add it by long pressing on the screen.
 
Well, I had to get rid of the free calendars and go with Pure Calendar Grid ($1.99) to get the look I wanted. It's nice. Still have Smooth Calendar, but wound up uninstalling Jorte. May put both on the same page.

I have mine set up with both 4 and 5 columns and it doesn't display correctly either way. Could it be an issue with ADW Launcher?

BTW - Which Folder Organizer skin are you using?

I'm using Folder Organizer with LP+. I tried both skins for FO and neither has the problem.

I'm using LPP and it doesn't display correctly

Me too. I looked at the settings for LP+ and didn't see any settings that would lead me to believe that was the cause. My regular icons look the same as any of the others posted.
 
I tried to keep my Droid X's screen simplistic and minimal as possible:

The only thing missing now is having a Black Notification Bar :D

I like that. is it rooted?
 
Unfortunately, no. It doesn't appear that you can. I'll send an email to the dev and see what he says.

Here's what the Launch-X dev replied back with concerning using custom icons:

I think it can be done, though I have lots of other features/fixes to add before this. I'll try to do my best.

BTW, I've been trying Folder Organizer Labels and they have been working perfectly. Very clean looking, too. Really liking them.
