As I haven’t gotten the update yet this applies to 9.9.14, might include the update as well, might not.
(And a few suggestions at the end as well)
#1
I have a panel for apps and have enabled swapping when items overlap. If a panel that is two columns wide overlaps with an app item that is only one column wide, then they trade places as they should, but the app gets two columns wide. If the panel overlaps with two items then the left one gets moved and stretched and the right one does nothing.
#2
In that same big panel I have designed the item backgrounds with 9patches. The additional panels that are inside the first panel also get new backgrounds, as they should. I want then to be invisible, so I copy the style of a item outside the panel to get a clear background. After a little while (or applying icon sets inside any of the panels) the backgrounds appear again.
And with that a little improvement suggestion: how about a “no background” option for customizing item backgrounds?
And a little request as well: how about the option allow/deny item rotation based on if screen rotation is on or off (for example: never/ when rotation is enabled/ always)? And how about restricting rotation (all sides/ left/ right/ up/ down), someone recently mentioned that they don’t want their items rotating 180°, I’d like to restrict some of my items only to face down or left.

Regarding #1, it is here since the introduction of the swap feature 😉 Well in fact this swap option does not work well, except with apps, because it has been designed mostly for the app drawer. I then allowed its use elsewhere, in case it would be useful but indeed it cannot cope very well with varying sizes, simply because swapping two items with different size could need to move a lot more items around, not just swap the two.
#2: Indeed, at the moment the only solution is to use a blank image, I agree this is not intuitive. If I had a “no background” option, then it will do that internally.
Regarding the rotation, this is on the TODO list 🙂

#1 is very much understandable, with #2 I haven’t had the time to get a blank image on my phone yet, I just hope that when I set a new image as background (instead of copying style), then it stops reverting back to default.
Great to hear!
