[discussion of above selections]
Rows
- Defines the number of vertical items or rows displayed. Entering
0dynamically calculates the visible row capacity based on the container object height; setting a fixed value forces that specific number of rows.
Launch animation
- Selects the visual transition effect executed when launching an application or shortcut from the list. These animations can be selected for any defined action (tap, swipe up/down, and swipe left/right).
Launch sound
- Assigns an audio feedback sound effect played upon item action. While the action can be any of the five (tap, swipe up/down, or swipe right/left), the Launcher's Resource Sound library opens to select user-deposited sounds.
Icon
- Icon size - Sets the scale and dimensional display size of item application icons, values ranging from
40to860.
- Icon padding - Adjusts internal spacing surrounding the icon within its cell boundary, values ranging from
0to215.
- Icon opacity (%) - Controls the transparency level of the displayed icons from completely invisible (
0%) to fully opaque (100%).
- Icon saturation (%) - Adjusts color intensity of the icons from monochrome grayscale (
0%) to full standard saturation (100%).
- Icon color filter - Applies a color overlay, tint, or color blending filter across the list icons. Color can either be static (selected from the Launcher's Color Picker utility), or dynamic (will be effective if the user has activated the Launcher's Dynamic Color scheme located at
Edit mode>Launcher options>UI & Animation>User interface>Dynamic color scheme).

1,2, or3) permitted for multi-line item titles before truncation occurs. - Font size - Specifies the text size of the item label. Setting the value to
0applies Launcher default scaling, but can be expanded to115. - Scale X (%) - Adjusts the horizontal aspect ratio and character width scaling of the label text. This defaults at
100%, with a range of50%to200%.

- Shadow offset Y - Adjusts the vertical placement shift of the text drop shadow.
Background
- Offers options to fill the container's background with a static or dynamic color, image, icon pack, shape, or dynamic image.
Margins
- Opens the margin adjustment dialog to configure external outer spacing for the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the container.
Item background
- Assigns an individual background graphic, shape, or color to each list item cell.
Item background (pressed)
- Assigns an alternate background graphic or color displayed when a specific cell is tapped or held.
Item background (focused)
