![]() I've already had the "oh but search is so easy" under iOS 13 discussion, because it was necessary when you had all of your apps barfing all over all of the homescreens. ![]() They've tried to reach feature parity, but that last one for a highly spatially organized person like me is really killer. Yeah I'm under extreme pressure from literally everyone else in the family to switch to iOS, and the have some points with virtually all of the major iOS 14 changes amounting to the Wish version of Android's interface, 12 years later but the lack of ability to place icons arbitrarily at least against a simple grid is an oversight that shows they don't understand why people prefer Android. ![]() I am not sure if it is stubbornness, incompetence, or just a lack of willingness to look outside of their little ecosystem that prevents Apple from doing the right thing here. I long for the days when I had nova launcher. I switched to iOS for specific reasons, but every single time I interact with the home screen on my iPhone I just want to scream. I can’t see why Apple spent all this time on iOS 14 and giving us new features like the app drawer, and then totally dropped the ball on giving us tools to actually organize our home screens. And not being able to use an arbitrary grid instead of the annoying left to right, to to bottom list keeps destroying my muscle memory wherever a new app is added (and forces me to use more pages just to get separation than I should need). Trying to get them in to some semblance of order, organized by task on separate pages, and trying to order these pages in some logical way seems to be an exercise in futility. "What's for dinner tomorrow honey?" "I dunno, check the Google Fridge, the iRefrigerator, the SkyFridge, and the Amazon Cloud Refrigerator and see what we have.I have about 110 apps. I could use six or seven companies competing to warehouse groceries for me somwhere and next day mail them to me as needed. Quick, someone tell Google that Amazon revived Webvan so we can get the "cloud grocery delivery" arms race underway. soon every single company with more than 20 employees will have their very own _ Drive.Īnd we'll all be stuck trying to help our parents remember which _ Drive they uploaded those vacation photos to (was it Disney Drive or Universal Studios Drive or maybe it was the _ Drive for that nice restaurant they ate at, you remember, the one that was next to that shopping plaza with the Walgreens, oh what was it's name.) while trying to figure out which _ Drive our boss put the new cover sheets for the TPS reports on. Then the flood gates will open: soft drinks vendors, booze companies, publishers, candy makers. And then Purina Drive (for your pet's files).Īfter that all of the sports teams from the various sports leagues around the world will have their own (Team Name) Drive. At which point there'll be Walmart Drive. Followed shortly by Burger King Drive, Wendy's Drive, and Pizza Hut Drive. I can see in %APPDATA%\Dropbox\bin\Dropbox.exe that there are other views of the main DropBox icon. Plus we know that the DropBox folks pay attention to details. You never know if the designer may have left some optional or alternative views of an icon in the EXE. I was going to make a custom DropBox icon by combining their icon along with the standard Windows Explorer folder icon but I double-checked the Dropbox.exe first. That DropBox icon isn't fitting in with my whole "Cloud Folder" aesthetic. Select your icon from your folder properties as shown in this screenshot: Just right click on a Folder, click Properties, then Shortcut Change Icon to select your custom icon. ICO icons for GitHub and BitBucket from high-res PNGs. I put all these new cloud folders as well as my GitHub and BitBucket folders (these aren't custom apps, just folders where I keep my source repositories) in my favorites in Windows Explorer. I made custom icons for the Visual Studio Command prompt as well as Visual Studio in PowerShell. ![]() I also like tidy and pretty icons, for folders, programs and external drives. I also use BitBucket and GitHub for source code. I'm a paying DropBox customer myself with over 60 gigs in there. There's also SkyDrive apps for Windows Phone, iPhone, or iPad and OneNote apps that sync to SkyDrive for Windows Phone, Android, iPhone, or iPad. Today Google Drive and Windows SkyDrive came out with clients for Windows and Mac. ![]()
