    Padding and grid / snap to half-grid makes it so easy to get things lined up exactly how you like.

    I also like having slide actions on the dock… I have a phone icon. If you tap on it, it opens a folder with my most common 9’ish contacts as direct dials. If I slide up on it, it opens the phone app. Repeat for other icons on the dock and you get over a dozen potential actions from 4 icons.

    Not sure if anything else offers this.

      Yep. I forgot, I really need snap to half grid too.

      And actively use swipe actions on app icons.

      Things are super messy cause I haven’t finished updating stuff after changing phones and a couple things are broken while I make changes, but I can’t do this with any other launcher, sadly

        I can’t tell if I love or hate the way your phone looks lol… It looks chaotic af

        Edit: It looks like the gui of your character’s in-game PDA device in an indie sci-fi game

          Lol, that’s okay, it’s very much to my own preference, and it’s a lot less overstimulating when you’re the one who placed everything and labored over every little corner. A lot of it is designed to help me stay on top of managing my sleep disorder

          Styling-wise it’s inspired by the in-show ui elements from cowboy bebop, and some typography from ghost in the shell
