Understanding Icon Style Impact On Design Layout
While this landing page is detailed, it is a main area to control how Total Launcher renders application icons, folders, and notification indicators. Modifying these elements heavily impacts the overall theme and design layout. There are 4 main areas in the dialog:
Application icon
- Application icon: - The primary control area for defining how individual applications render on the home screen.
- This section contains settings for overall
Icon quality(Low to High),Icon packselection,Icon scale(%), and precise positioning usingIcon offset X(%)andIcon offset Y(%). - It also includes advanced layering options to stack a
Background,Foreground, andMask(e.g.,glass_rnd_b2) over standard icons. - This is a powerful customization tool utilized to completely overhaul the screen design by applying third-party themes or creating custom masked shapes for a unique visual flow.
Adaptive icon
- Adaptive icon: - Manages the uniform shaping and scaling of application icons for a system-wide match.
- This section provides selections for the base
Icon shape, a toggle toReshape legacy icons, and slider adjustments for theForeground scale. - This feature creates a cohesive layout by forcing disparate application designs into a single, uniform boundary box. A
Themed iconoption (PRO) utilizes monochrome designs when available to match system color palettes.
Folder icon
- Folder icon: - Controls the visual representation of grouped application containers.
- Similar to standard application icons, this area allows specific adjustments to the
Icon layout,Icon scale(%), and X/Y offset positioning. - It includes dedicated layer settings to apply unique shapes, such as a
polygon_1mask. - Altering these settings helps to visually differentiate folder groups from standard application launchers, ensuring a clean and organized layout.
Badge count
- Badge count: - Controls the visual appearance of notification counters on applications.
- This section manages static text and shape elements. It controls configurations for
Icon size,Background,Typeface,Font size, andText color. - Adjusting these settings ensures notification indicators match the overall aesthetic or stand out for higher visibility. All options in this category require the PRO version for customization.
