I would like to be able to customize app icons more.
I would like to be able to customize app icons more.
Trying to make a tiled setup, here’s an example from Zooper and LLX.
I can’t move the icon inside the tile with LLX.
Am I missing something?

One can align the icon using horizon and vertical alignment combined with padding and item scale. What am I missing?

all i see is 2 pictures of a cool camera icon…. hey that inspires me to give an idea for an icon pack. i like that icon

Bogdan Tautu, I’ve played around with those, but can’t get the icon higher up. Scaling the icon pushes the text down and out of the frame.
The zooper way is quite tedious, that’s why I wanted to make it directly in LLX
(Zooper:
Add widget
Tap to configure
Open saved widget
Change picture, maybe scale
Change text
Change app to open on tap
LLX:
Add app to desktop
Change icon, maybe scale
Done)

Make the frame bigger if that is the problem, remove padding, scale, align top.

Kjell Hensman look at how I set up the ebay icon, is that what you’re looking for?

If you need I can make a script to set up every item or the item you select.

forget that lol just turn that work into an icon pack. 😉

Bogdan Tautu thanks for helping. Your way works if the frame is tall, and the icon is square, but mine are both wide. Seems Android sets all icons to behave as squares, even when I choose a picture that is rectangular (white space is added as you see in the picture).

Kjell Hensman ok, made a script to set top padding. The script can set negative values.
var item = LL.getEvent().getItem();
var props = item.getProperties();
var pt = prompt(“Item height is “+item.getHeight()+”.\nSet top padding to:”,props.getBox(“i.box”).getSize(“pt”));
if (!pt)
return;
var editor = props.edit();
var b = editor.getBox(“i.box”);
b.setAlignment(b.getAlignmentH(), “TOP”);
b.setSize(“pt”, pt);
editor.commit();
Make sure to check “item menu” to appear in and run the script from the item you want to edit.

Bogdan Tautu total noob question: how do I load a script? Can’t find the script editor…
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Kjell Hensman are you using ll or llx?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Curtis Sylvester Jr. I’m on llx, scripting enabled.
]]>
< ![CDATA[
its in the app drawer “Script editor”
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Ever so strange, it’s missing.
Opening All apps, looking in My drawer, correct?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Try a drawer refresh if all else fails. Maybe it’s hidden?
You can make a shortcut to run a script and it will open the script editor, but it’s convoluted this way.

what the hell

OK Bogdan Tautu, tried your script (still can’t find the editor…), here’s what get.
Upper right: icon pic sticks out a little, and also blurred from scaling to 380%.
Lower right: style copies ok.

Kjell Hensman you need to make that link public. right now it says we need to request access
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Curtis Sylvester Jr. Changed to dropbox, can u see it now? Couldn’t figure out how to make it public on Drive
]]>
< ![CDATA[
ok here we go. i can tell just by looking at the preview it looks like theres white borders on the L/R sides of the right icons. the icon on left looks good
]]>
< ![CDATA[
It’s actually supposed to be white borders. You can see my wanted look in top left icon (it’s a Zooper widget).
From what I read on UI guidelines, Android uses a fixed icon size, so getting this to look good wirh standard app items seems out of reach.
]]>
< ![CDATA[
yeah sometimes the guidelines can be a real pain in the ass
]]>
< ![CDATA[
You can also add the white borders in the picture
]]>

TrianguloY true. For the moment trying to figure how to make this tile into a style, and too lazy for the finer design efforts.
(In Zooper I get the white border in a cinch with a frame, adding it to the picture I’d suppose would need sitting at my laptop and fiddle with it. Might be the future of this though.)
