Hello,

(Sorry for the late answer, I am quite busy these weeks.)

Not really, at least not in-between other positions which I guess is what you meant...

Initially this setting was added because when using the launcher on a tablet, icons looked very small (phone size). My first plan was to make a toggle "Normal / Large" but then I discovered that the launcher could also be used on a TV and thought that even bigger icons would be needed for that case.

So I ended up using a slider with 4 positions numbered from 3 to 6 where the position is multiplied by 12 to get the icon size in dpi (which are then converted in pixels according to device density):
=> Position 3 gives an icon of 36dp (not really useful, but it makes the slider look better when the default value is selected)
=> Position 4 gives an icon of 48dp (icon size in the Android stock launcher, and default value in Discreet Launcher)
=> Position 5 gives an icon of 60dp (looks better than the default size on a tablet)
=> Position 6 gives an icon of 72dp (alternative for even bigger screens)

This setting was not designed for ultra-customization but just for the launcher to be more usable on larger screens.
Maybe I should mention it in the setting caption, something like "Icon size (for tablets)" instead of just "Icon size"...

Best regards.

No need to apologise. I'm perfectly aware that you have very little time for this project and that is perfectly fine by me.

I'm sorry to hear your explanation, but it is what it is.:)
Take care

For proper labeling, following new discussions in #326 this is being fixed in new release v7.6.0.
I will leave this ticket open until it is available on F-Droid (usually takes 4 to 8 days).
