Anyone have any decent launcher widgets, in particular homescreen widgets, not the older classic widgets. I've tried Magic Launcher, which I've used for years, but they only have a classic widget. I've also tried Cromulent's Launcher, it's just ok, you can't really get the icons small and it takes up a lot of space. I'd love something where you can adjust the icons size and be able to fit more into a smaller space.

Any other widget launchers out there that you like? I really just want app shortcuts and don't particularly care about contacts, or other things, although they might be nice to have.
 
I don't understand your comment about Launcher.

First off, all widgets are constrained to the 3 default sizes. I don't understand the comment about it taking up a lot of space. Widget sizes are standard.

As far as resizing, there is a setting to pick how many icons you want in your widget. The size adjusts accordingly. While there is not absolute flexibility, you can fit up to 42 app icons in a large sized widget and 14 in a medium sized widget. I think the limitation of only 1 icon in a small sized widget is due to Apple's requirements, not the Launcher app.

“Launcher with Multiple Widgets” has loads of widgets but very few apps can be launched with it!
