I've tried looking for launchers that have this feature, but have yet to see it mentioned anywhere.

I despise how the focus of development for at least the past decade has been form over function. I like information-dense displays, and Google has gotten everybody to waste so much screen real estate on looks (never mind other crappy UI decisions). My home screen widget layout is the one big thing keeping me on Nova.

I saw Fossify has a launcher in beta available in f-droid. May not be up to your needs (yet?) though, but worth a try.

TY, but yeah - tried it already & it's not there, and I doubt the kind of granular control I'm looking for over my home screen is anywhere on their feature implementation roadmap. FOSSify apps seem to target complete functionality of a minimal expected feature set, but with few frills added.

Thx for the suggestion, tho!
