That the labels for the apps get truncated so you can only read "Proton" plus the first letter of the app. I'm only able to distinguish based on the icons which isn't great because Pass and Drive are similar colors, and Pass and VPN, and Drive and Calendar are similar shapes.

Not sure what the screenshots are from, but is it not possible to rename the icons for legibility?

Wow, I didn't know you could do that. I've always used the Pixel stock launcher but just recently installed Lawn Chair. Don't know if every launcher allows you to rename or not.

So when I rename they re-sort alphabetically so I'm renaming to "P Calendar", "P Mail" etc to keep them together. It's a little clunky but solves my problem

I've been using Niagara Launcher on my S10 / P7P with only a handful of icons on my home screen.

The majority of programs I swipe up for a search bar with keyboard. I find it much faster than swiping homepages / folder to dig up a program to launch.
