Customisable Widgets

I second this. Being able to resize widgets on a »widgets-page« so they fit as designed rather than be stretched would be great. Being able to add two or more smaller widgets on one widget-page in the widget-stack would also be really useful!

So this is kinda what I've been missing since switching back to Niagara from the launcher I ended up using on my previous device.. it's also part of why the full minimalist approach didn't end up working for me. Yes I have and and other stress/traumas that mean I NEED distraction and to have it visible via icon or widget helped.

An example of what I tried yesterday after I setup my device and installed Niagara…

“Everything widgets” style of layouts for a variety of apps to be visible (example, bottom left corner can create one more like a triangle 📐 shape add that but opposite on other side so it's mirrored made it easy, not frustrating trying to find something) (can create other shapes like circle, bar (up to x# of apps visible 1 icon “thick”).

Also my last device was a Samsung a13, it's now a Sony Xperia 10 V1, add the last launcher I'm also used to having a bar of “necessary, used many times daily” apps, like phone call, message, camera, email.

So if there were some way to allow others to choose how minimalistic they need. Either including options for there to be another “page” showing the layout as you want or need for how it best works for you) allowing individual widgets to be moved, resized.. or creating your own set of widgets, maybe partnering or allowing the everything widgets to work in your system and not lose function… it would be great.

Calendar/Weather

For me it's not always easy to remember, everything blends and my memory fragments when it works. The list of important functions and the order that should flow for people like me..

•Time- I've woken up in an “I'm late mode” checked time and they've been enough times that based on the time I don't know if it's AM or PM. I started using 24h clock on my devices decades ago, an alternative option to include would be having the color indicate and or have sun/moon wherein dawn starts left lower, moving across until dusk where it would be at the lowest it could go and then the moon starts.

•Day- I am a very literal person and take things too personally especially not understanding normal humour apparently.. Is it a weekend or work day? Having at least the Mon, Tue the next boldest item to draw attention, next to it…

•Date- after I figure out the day, the number is important, having the month above (Jan, Aug etc) but not as bold is the next place I go. Since my phone is usually in hand and losing power doesn't restart it, it's auto I look at my home screen for it.

•Weather- rainy (snowy, ice storm, tornado etc. Giving alerts for sudden or severe incidents) (just a mist or heavy? How much accumulation)sunny, temperature, times for sunrise and sunset, wine speed and direction, and an option for moon as well. Also showing moon phase, notice for meteor showers, eclipse, (some of these are things that can be for that middle ground of being minimal while being, there are at least a few that can be disabled or enable sort.

Having the option to pick what's most important in these categories of where to put them should be up to the user, and it's something I'd pay for like pro. As I know how people process/require information is a variable.

After that the next important thing is the easy access bar for calls, messages, contacts etc. Make it something to enable or whatever if you worry it'll impact your minds very minimalistic homepage approached. Have a limit on the #allowed, but add 1 extra for a variable that people would like to add later, but let people choose a few easy access buttons there would increase my productivity in this launcher.

Adding a page

This would keep it so you can go between something more like yours, to something that especially when needing distraction being stress, thoughts racing, anxiety etc. Would help a lot when you are used to “routine” and having a similar layout that your minds knows can help a variety of people who are and want to be minimal but are still not there or have situations like myself.

Lastly, when I'm scrolling through the list of apps, I always trigger the alphabet and then it moves me to that spot in the list.. an option, not sure what or how yet.. all I have is the ability to move it permanently left or right side, to choose to move it if scrolling in the list at minimum) would be great for my productivity and “wiring/programming of my brain and how I proces).

Yes there are variables or options I haven't included but this is going on enough as is. But here's a pic of my old device as a bit of reference
