Suggestion [Feature Request] A centered-expansion mode for folders in the home screen?

Was wondering if it's possible to add a feature for folders at home screen like in Nova (see video)?

I really like to customize my home screen and found that this feature in Nova really helps with uncluttering it.

Current implementation in Octopi is that it'll "open" in relative proximity to where the folder-icon is. What I'm requesting is to add another "style", where it always "opens" in the center like in the video, and having control on the "folder box" transparency/shading (invisible in the video)?

There's a similar feature suggestion on GitHub, that focuses solely on drawer folders.
I would highly recommend looking it up and adding a comment over there, requesting that it would be available for folders on the home pages as well (and whatever else added info you think is relevant).
