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.

Just had a look, and I can't see Lawnchair on Fdroid for some reason.

Gotta add the izzyondroid repo, super easy. Or go with droidify or neostore instead of base fdroid. They are both fdroid clients with nicer ui, and better features, and comes with Izzy on droid, as well as the guardian project repo apps enabled and available by default. On base fdroid, you have to add new repos manually.

Ah ok, thanks. Bit beyond me that, but all good 👍

Naw dude, dont say that! incredibly easy. You can download neostore from fdroid, then uninstall fdroid. Boom. Then the lawnchair launcher will be available as soon as you boot up neostore. Its genuinely a great fdroid replacement, and its super easy. You'll have tons of new and cool apps available

Fair enough, will maybe check it out, thanks 👍

I'm not especially looking for a new launcher right now, but always good to have the occasional look around at what's out there.
