Action Launcher 3 Updated With Improved Icon Editing
Action Launcher has been updated to v3.7. The latest version of Action Launcher comes with various tweaks and adds two new icon-related features.
The first one is the Quickedit. The Quickedit UI for changing icons will be great for anyone with a few icon packs installed. It uses the Android bottom sheet panel to suggest alternative icons from your packs, and also links to apps like Photos and Dropbox so you can apply custom images as icons.
Second, Smartsize will resize the icons on your home screen so none of them will look too large or too small. This is similar to the Nova Launcher icon normalization feature which came a few months ago.
