It would be a nice feature, when you can Pinch-to-zoom the Tiles on Taskview/Homescreen like in this Video:
Before Zoom:
After Zoom:
Why would it be nice?
Can you try to make the feature request less subjective if possible?
I thought the design principle was to make things clear enough that they show well in both sizes, and limit to one (effectively two) actions per cover, so they can be triggered with reasonable accuracy. So what would this achieve?

There is a patch âForce cover sizeâ that might already serve the purpose of people who would want pinch to zoom.
I always force large covers, no matter how many apps there are.
I think adding pinch to zoom would complicate the code, and in my case would more often lead to accidental triggers, than being useful. But that is just my opinion.

It doesn´t work on 4.4. The Patch can´t be activated.

Beside the obviously advantages by having the big Tiles-Format (Better readable, better reach Click-Actions on Cover on small Screens.) that show-all at one-concept didn´t work with too many small Tiles. I face this Problem on Windows-Phone by enabling âshow more tilesâ, i end up with the opposide of a clear view. So this Idea/Option can solve that Problem for someone.

While the Jolla-Aproch is a good Base, it shouldn´t be hurt if they can add this option. But only if thats easily possible without Bloat the Launcher too many.
I know the dilemma of âfeatureitisâ (More features leads often to a worser user-experience), im developing too (Lua, Windows, AmigaOS & Linux) and users often want it all, even if thats make no sense at all.
For me force cover size does work on 4.4.0.68, even in combination with no home carousel.

I just checked, the web catalogue says compatible with 4.3, but it works anyway.

You need to enable âallow not compatible patchesâ (Inkompatible Patches erlauben) in the settings of Patchmanager.

That did the trick. It works now!
Thank you for the important hints!
