You can change the icon setting to grid mode on the "override" option.
Just click on "override", and change icon placement to "grid".
My son refused to watch LM for a while. I made my own icons and that helped a lot.
I chose the pictures of things or peopple he loves such as his toys, his Dad, myself, cars, trucks...and etc.
It helped and we eventually completed LM curriculum.
Hope this helps!!
