Hi!

Thanks so much for making Hex Launcher. It's great to find a launcher that doesn't even connect to the internet. I was wondering if you could make the icons in the launcher view (when you long-press and the little hexagon of icons pops up) significantly larger? Right now it's way too easy to fat-finger the wrong direction and it's hard to see what icons are where.

This is something that I've been considering. The way I use the launcher is actually to turn the opacity of the icons all the way down, such that the wheel is invisible and it becomes for of gesture shortcuts than icons. However, this is not the first time I've received this feedback.

I'm looking at ways of allowing the user to set the size of the icons for themselves.

I've been toying with the dimens.xml and changed the small_hex_view_height and small_hex_view_width, it became friendlier, but i think a slider on the settings for adjusting the size, plus more sensible defaults might be the way to go.

btw, those are the values I settled with:

<dimen name="small_hex_view_height">52.7734dp</dimen> <dimen name="small_hex_view_width">60.9375dp</dimen>

Yeah, I would also love to be able to customise the icon size. Also, a setting to change how many icons you can have there. Finally, what about support for folders so when you slide your finger to a hex folder, another set of icons appear, which are in the folder.
