The developer also posted here IIRC, so that's a W.

So here's the problem I'm having with Octopi, and I'm not even sure of the right vocabulary to describe it.

I'm using the Outline icon pack, not that I think that matters here. But I'm trying to make an icon for the calendar that updates the date each day. I can see the icons 1 through 31 in several different icon styles, but if I choose today's date, Octopi doesn't update tomorrow.

Another way of stating this is that in the icon drawer itself, several other launchers show my Google calendar with today's date but Octopi shows the standard 31st.

What is this feature even called?

And am I right to assume that it's a feature that depends partly on the launcher?

Octopi is my current leader.

I'm not sure whether I will actually use this feature, but it's fascinating the way each icon can be resized to a different size.

Also I note that it lets you set the number of columns, but not the number of rows. By setting the number of columns you set the grid size and then the number of rows is forced. But not entirely forced because if you show icon labels you're arranging rectangles and if you don't show icon labels you're arranging squares. And also not entirely forced because just because you said that there were seven full size icons across the screen doesn't mean you can't fit in 14 half-sized icons or one double wide double tall icon and five regulars.
