Issues before I can release a premium theme

I am currently fixing all the bugs on a theme I made and there seems to be two issues

1) The icons seems to appear squished. I posted a screenshot of one users device and I also posted a screen shot from composer and Theme Studio

2) The only way to navigate through the homescreen icons (see the screenshots) are by going up and down on the trackpad. How can I fix it where if you drag your finger left or right it will navigate it also.

1) Are you using the proper size images for the icons? Dif devices use dif sized icons, ie torch(9800) would use 68x68, where the curve(9300) would use 52x50. Also never drag on the sizing bars for a theme button in composer...the icon images tend to not work right if you do.

2)You can change the direction of the scrolling in theme builder under Theme the Homescreen>Navigation. You can have it auto set the navigation (horizontal/vertical) but I find it never does it the way I want so I just hit Do not create Default links, and also change it to "No Memory" for Navigational history. One at a time just put the icon you want to change in the middle spot, and change the top, bottom, left, right navigations for it. You can also have it point nowhere (ie. a button on the far right you dont want to point anywhere when you track right).

Ok thank you for your reply!!

1)How do you change the icon size?
"Also never drag on the sizing bars for a theme button in composer...the icon images tend to not work right if you do."

What do you mean by this (sorry I'm still a little new...I know a good bit but I'm still learning

)

2)Thank you for showing me how to fix the navigation. I couldn't figure out if it was in Composer or Theme Studio and somehow I overlooked the Navigation button ha ha

Well first you have to find out the icon size for the device you are making the theme for. If you are using the default app icons through theme builder then they should already be the right size based on the device you picked when you created the new theme. If you are using custom made icons, then once you find out the proper icon size (google), then just use whatever photo editing program you want and resize the image (icon).

As far as composer, when you create a theme button, you will see lines with little squares around the button when its selected. If you drag on them you can stretch the button....but dont, it can mess things up.
