Going back from the 1.8 launcher to the (old) 1.8.5 launcher, it really seems extremely silly to have such small icons. They are not closer together, so no more fit on the home screen, so why not just use the space and have big icons?
I get that the FP team chose to do this, because a lot of commenters were somehow very mad about the change. But I just wanted to say that it just feels weird going back to the small icons.
What I do like, is that the app menu stays on the same page if you go back to home and open the menu again. I believe the 1.8 launcher menu went back to the first page every time.
I think I’m going back to the v2 launcher, but I’m not sure yet…
