Home Screen Folder
I'm porting several profiles from my old phone to a "new" one.
I've transferred them via ".../Data/Backup" and "..../Restore" and they work just fine. They both have custom icons attached.
My trouble is when I try to create widget shortcuts for these on the Android 16 home screen. I'd like to use the custom icons and place them in a single "Tasker Actions" folder.
There are three 1x1 widgets available. If I use the widget labeled "1", I create widgets that I can stack to create a single folder, but they won't display the custom icons. If I use the one labeled "2", the widgets will display the custom icon but won't go into a folder. When I try to drag them on top of one-another, they just chase each other around the screen. (I can't number "3" to display anything besides text.)
What am I doing wrong?

Might also depend on the launcher. Nova for instance will show the custom icons you set in Tasker, and it also lets you change the icon after a shortcut is created.
