Poco F3 - Weekly version 22.9.7
Launcher problem, Big gap between the dock and the first row of icons.
Desktop settings, basic theme / icons 5x7

Yeah, I noticed that too. But is it a bug or just a design choice?

 

[gogocar62]

If it's a design choice, then it's a very stupid and impractical decision.
Although at Xiaomi such a decision appears often.

True. Anyway, it's up to Xiaomi to fix and it may already have been fixed in alpha releases.

Do you have the problem only with icons 5x7?

 

[gogocar62]

No. The problem is with all options.

 

[Kacper Skrzypek]

It's Xiaomi's design. Sadly, nothing we can do with it. It's irritating for us too.

 

[gogocar62]

I'm thinking, I'm thinking, but I can't figure out what sense (advantage) this decision was supposed to bring to users. I only see the downsides.

We wish to know as well...

Weekly ROM 22.9.14
Hmm. So they didn't remove the abomination.

You guys still didn't figure it out? Okay, I got this problem in the past as well , the SOLUTION at least for me it was to play with DPI untill that gap gets small again.

Thanks, that worked for me too. For some reason I cannot revert back to 384 dp, it changes to 376 dp and reboot won't change that.

EDIT: Value 392 reverts back to default 384 and the big gap returns so this is not a solution but a workaround.
EDIT2: Curiously 391 goes to 384 also and the gap disappears...

 

[gogocar62]

type 392 dp and it will show 384 dp.

From official Xiaomi forum:
"Problem should be fixed next week"

We will see...

Hi Orjon, thx for the info. If Xiaomi pushes a fix for the above, will you release another stable version including it?

 

[Kacper Skrzypek]

If Xiaomi releases a fix, the fixed launcher will be included in the next stable update.

 

[Kacper Skrzypek]

Looks like, indeed, the issue has been fixed in today's MIUI daily build.

There is another temporary workaround. Turning lite mode on and off.. it disappears, but reappears after reboot or wallpaper/theme change.

Still the same on 22.12.19. Hopefully it won't stay like this, I don't want to add any indicators or Google search bars, they mess my homescreen. Fortunately DPI change still works and it's virtually unnoticeable.
