Edge + DPI settings = problem topic
This is more a request/plea for help to devs than a question, but basically, I've been playing around with adjusting the DPI (using Xposed + App Settings) of my Edge for 'bout 2 days straight now and because of the way Edge Panels/Cocktailbar service interact with the rest of the UI, it's been a rather rough 2 days. To summarize my findings:
1) Changing the DPI of Android System also adjusts the width of the area allocated to the Edge. *
2) Changing the DPI of cocktailbarservice ONLY changes how various panels are stacked together. *
3) Changing the DPI of individual panels ONLY changes the total size of the panel UI but NOT the area it's allocated. *
*These are all rather confusing so the screenshots below should clear things up.
I'll be working with 6 different things here:
a) Android System
b) Cocktailbar service (com.samsung.android.app.cocktailbarservice)
c) EdgeBoard panel (com.yotsumo.edgeboard)
d) Briefing panel (com.samsung.android.app.catchme)
e) RAM Usage Manager panel (com.samsung.android.app.ramusagemanager)
f) Quick tools panel (com.samsung.android.cocktailbar.quicktool
To simplify things, I'll be changing between only two DPIs: 640 (stock) and 320. Each set of screenshots will be labeled with the letters a-f. Uppercase means it's set at 640. Lowercase means it's set at 320. Also, remember that if you want to reproduce any of these for yourself, that "Apply res to widgets" must be checked for all DPI-adjusted Edge panels.

Set 3 - aBCDEF

You can do a few dozen more combinations (well 61), but I the pattern should be clear now. Setting it to abcdef (all 320) does result in an non-glitchy, usable, and thinner panel, but even then, only the EdgeBoard panel (of what I've downloaded) properly adjusts to the full length. The others just leave a blank space under them.
Now what I personally think (and hopefully some of you here will agree with me) would be optimal is if we could adjust the size of the allocated panel area as well as the size of the panel itself, independent of the Android System's DPI (320 works great for me on just about everything, but the Edge panel at this point is WAY too narrow). Could this be implemented somehow either through some hacking away at internals or perhaps an elegant Xposed Module? See link for what my screen looks like currently: http://imgur.com/XpvjkMD
