Five-Column SpringBoard, FivelRows and 5-Icon Dock

[jcde7ago]

Is anyone using a combination of these three and experiencing any problems at all? Currently, i am using 5-Icon Dock and FivelRows (for a total of 25 apps per page), and have had no problems whatsoever.

I've seen screenshots of all 3 being used, but not really any commentary from the people about how stable it is, if it's safe to uninstall a combination of FivelRows/FiveColumn SpringBoard, etc. I'd really like to try and see what my SpringBoard/theme would look like with 30 apps per page, as I use a theme with small icons anyways, but would like to know if anybody has had any bad experiences with using all three at the same time.

For example, here is a picture of 8lias's SpringBoard from macthemes2 using all three, again this is NOT MINE! (but the theme he's using is called MobilePod).

I wish someone would release a toggle app so you can toggle between 4x4, 4x5, 5x4, and 5x5 WITHOUT screwing up your SpringBoard arrangement.

I was using 5 Column before, but just 5 icon dock for now.

holy crap, that's a lot of applications on a single page

I can't find Five-Column listed...does it have another name or something?

So far I've installed FivelRows and FIVE-Icon Dock, both work AWESOME!!!

I gave up on the 5 icon dock it would re arrange my icons randomly. that really sucked.

(in case anyone is looking for FiveIrows.)

I have all three installed, and haven't had any problems, but I only have one page of icons (less than 30) at the moment.

ok, I've installed all three. It doesn't look as pretty as in your picture.
Everything is very tight together...and it looks like an eye sore honestly

I want to go back, but it does kinda saves space....

Some themes have icons that are slightly smaller than others. Also, themes with "clear" icons, like the one posted in the first post, work better. I personally recommend the Glass Orbs theme for use with five-row/five-columns, the rounded icons do wonders for making the page look uncluttered.

The newer KillSign themes (my favorite: Perse) look amazing with the the 5x5 springboards.

Way too much IMO. I had all 3 and played with them a bit. I stick with 5 icon dock now.

5CSB (with the toggle app) is now up in the STE Packaging source.
