Something has been plaguing me since my first use of the free lightning launcher, and has been on the paid as well since my first day with it as well. I couldnt figure out if it was a bug or if it was supposed to be like that…. or if my device is just a piece of garbage. In any case this report is with resizing items (any item).

While in edit mode

1. Detach the item from the grid

2. Tap the item until the 4 arrows appear

If i understand correctly by dragging an arrow in 1 direction stretches the widget in the direction, however that has not been the case.

If you move the top or left arrows, the item stretches, but bottom or right arrows just make the whole item bigger. For me the fix for that was to move the item until the right and bottom sides are where i want them to be THEN detach the item and stretch only the top and left sides.

This was never reported only because it appeared that nobody else had this experience and maybe it was just me. But now i feel like i should have reported it.

Is this just an issue with my device?

    This has been designed this way: right and bottom keep the same aspect ratio, while top and left don’t. If there was some sort of shift key I could have use it to select between keep aspect ratio or not, but I had to find another mechanism, hence the asymmetric behavior. The operation is the same, it scales, the difference is whether it keeps proportion or not.

    Pierre Hébert just an idea:


    What about four more arrows in the four corners which will keep the aspect ratio? (And the ones on the side not)


    This can also be used with the resize

    Ok so it was actually designed that way. Just wanted to be sure. 🙂

    TrianguloY Interesting idea, it might look a bit crowded (that makes 8 handles), but it is worth a try.
