@Chaley: When accessing Widgets from a long press in the home screen you will see the menu if available widgets, as Purple Lady has displayed.
When accessing the Widgets tab from the Apps Drawer you are displayed an example if each Widget. Nova Launcher does not display Widget images when accessing Widgets for placement through the Long Press, rather, simply a list of available widgets by app, and dimensions. Both locations display the Widget size as 1 x 1, as that is the size dimension of the default Widget when placing any of the 3 on screen. Last edited by Dhevi; 04-11-2015 at 01:46 PM. |

If I delete a book(in CC) , the widget does not refresh the book list. Reading a new book does refresh.
I like the way the stacked widget looks best, but I don't like how it works. If I hadn't read the comment that said you had to swipe, I wouldn't have known there was another book since I sized the widget with more than enough room for five books. Also, swiping down makes the books disappear - is that how its supposed to work? I know they come back if I swipe up, but it just seemed odd. |

@Dhevi & @Purple Lady: IMO what the launcher does with its menu is wrong. There are several widgets that do not provide distinguishing text. On my phone there is "Bookmark", "Bookmarks", "Contact", "Google Keep", "Google Play Music", and "News & Weather". I don't want to provide new text because that would require translation to some 7 languages, done by volunteers. You can use the drawer to determine which widget you want.

@chaley, I'm creating this post primarily FYI rather than expectation of change.

Apparently there are two values one can obtain: the "icon size" and the "preferred icon size". The "preferred size" can be larger. In 3.6.3a I handled an icon that was 2.5 x icon_size so that systems could grow it if needed. This broke Lollipop, so in 3.6.3b I limited the icon to "icon_size". Apparently I must choose the larger of preferred size or icon size. Sigh ... Quote:
Are you saying that incidence of failure has changed for the worse? If so, then perhaps I should remove the "fix"? |

I've only recently experienced a single instance of Mantano crashing after the change which I can't honestly say it attributed to CC one way or the other as even before-hand Mantano could sometimes have erratic behavior. But I'll certainly TRY to replicate.

Is there anyway to increase the cover sizes. In the google books widget covers are large. I change the stack to 3x3 and the covers on my tablet would be better if they were larger.

FYI: I also yanked out the stuff to draw thumbs into square transparent bitmaps. It isn't needed now that I have implemented the portrait filled mode. |

I changed the thumbs from "2 times normal" to "3 times normal". This should help without overfilling the smaller boxes (I hope).
