Center icons and increase margins #134

Closed rainer2208 closed 3 years ago

Hi, I am trying out the XLunch launcher and find it very nice and responsive.

What I couldn't find where any parameter to center the icons on the screen, like when using 2 columns and 2 rows. In this configuration, the icons automatically align to the sides, top and bottom, and I would like to position them in the middle/ middle.

Another thing I couldn't figure out was to increase the side, top and bottom margins. Is this possible?

Have you read the documentation/--help message? You can use --center to center icons in their row when there are fewer icons than columns. It also seems like you might want to increase your border if you feel the icons are aligning to the sides. This can be done with --border and it takes pixels or a percentage of the screen width. You also have --sideborder to control the border on each side of the icons (--border applies to both if --sideborder is not given). There is also --borderratio and --sideborderratio to control if you don't want your applications to be placed in the middle but rather slightly to the left/right/top/bottom.
