Extend home screen margins on Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800

[tonyvr4]

Is there a way ti extend the margins on the home screen where you place app icons?
There seems to be a margin of about 3/4" on the left and right sides where I can not place icons

I would like to use this space to spread out the icons

Try a different launcher. My Nova Launcher has the icons close to the edges...

I tried nova launcher and had lots of problems with it. Plus it seemed that everything I wanted to do required the paid version.
I also could not get rid of the google search widget on the home screen
It also did not import the home or other screen configurations so I had to add every app to the home screen again

I was also annoyed that their support never replied to any of my requests
