Just tried now, thanks.

It only goes up to 12 rows, but rechecking Nova I see that it also only goes up to 12 rows. I miscounted my home screen.

The other feature I used to smash a lot into a single home screen is the swipe up and swipe down gesture on each icon to get two other closely related apps. I haven't verified if Hyperion has this yet.

[–] Altruistic_Flower@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

It does! It's my favorite feature. I put all my games under one app and swiping up or down on the main icon and it brings up a folder.

Just downloaded Hyperion and trying to add gestures to apps but cannot see where.

Am I missing something obvious?

[–] Altruistic_Flower@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You have to create the folder first then bottom right is settings for that folder when open.

[–] Starfarer@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Ah ok. It can't do what I'm after then. I use Nova do that tap signal opens a specific contact chat and swiping opens it normally.

Can't find another laincher that can do that

Oh gotcha. Yeah I'm not sure then. Good luck!

[–] bobagem@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

This might be better for me in some ways. But what I have now is different. Tapping gets me one app, swiping up gets me a second, and swiping down gets me a third.
