Hello, i have a question.

Hello, i have a question.

I am trying to put “emblems” on top of my desktop icons.

The reason being that my “icons” are big book-covers and i would like to add a audio-emblem to those where i also have the audiobook.

I played around with the layer options but it seems i can not resize those.

If you look at the screenshot, i would like to have the white icon on top of the book resized and re-positioned. Is something like this possible?

Thank you!

    Oh well, it just dawned on me that i can simply put another icon on top of it 🙂

    Are those pictures the icons of items? If so you probably needed to resize/move the items pixel-perfect, right?

    I recommend you to, instead, set the picture as the background of the items, and hide the icon. This way you can use a grid and place the icons aligned without effort.

    And with this configuration, to add that emblem, set it as the icon and unhide it, resizing as necessary.

    Thanks, i am already using a grid. I simply replaced the icons (link to google play books or in case of a PDF to a local pdf-viewer) with the book-cover and stretched it. The emblems are now seperate icons on top which link to the audio-book player (unfortunately i can not link directly to the audiobook, but no big deal). Lightning Launcher really makes all of this easy, i love how settings can be applied in bulk or how you can select everything on screen at once 🙂
