Better icons in landscape orientation #4639

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When the phone is in landscape mode the widget icon get very small, almost unreadable. This is in portrait (I cut the upper half of the screen): 2024-09-14 08 23 58 The icons are sliglhty bigger than the normal ones (and quite ugly if you want my opinion, but that's not the problem here).

The same in landscape mode: 2024-09-14 08 24 02

Here the icon get very small, probably because unlike other icons, the text gets stays under the icon like in landscape mode instead of going to the side like other apps.

The Widget becomes almost unusable because the icona and text are very small and it's hard to see which widget is which.

Describe the solution you'd like

The widget icons should behave like any other when in landscape mode, with text to the side and bigger icons. Also it'd be nice if icons had the same look as the rest of the UI, with the beveled frame.

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any

Can't think of a way to avoid this or any workaround

Additional context

Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra on latest OneUI.

Also it'd be nice if icons had the same look as the rest of the UI, with the beveled frame.

So in other words: you want a pinned shorcut that doesn't open the app, but runs an action like toggling the entity? The beveled frame is provided by your launcher and not something Home Assistant can easily emulate as each launcher looks different.

This issue may become outdated/unfixable by changes in #4594
