[Q] how to edit bottom bar - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hiho!
I hope this question isn't allready answered, but I unfortenately think it is. My searches all didn't serve the answer I'm looking for.
I'm just trying to change the appearence of the bottom bar of my HTC Desire. I'm using VillainROM 1.0 and I allready made it to change the statusbar with editing the framework-res.apk but I didn't find any PNGs to edit the bottom bar.
Is there any tutorial or something that tells me how to change the apperance of the bottom bar? I think I'd also have to edit the "touch area" for fitting to the new bottom bar buttons.
Please excuse my bad english and noobig questions.
greetings, oOzzy

Honestly, I don't think there is a way (through editing files). Sense will remain sense, and launcher2 will remain launcher 2.
Although you can try a new homescreen/launcher.
Your best bet will be checking out ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro or Zeam launcher. But with some googling, I'm sure you can find more.
I'm currently using Launcher Pro

[REQ] Themeable Drawer

Not the button, the actually drawer where the apps are stored. I was wondering if someone could make a drawer where you could theme it without having to go into the actual .apk file to work on it.
First off god your ugly second I think that's one of the nest things the guy from adw launcher is gonna work on if I find where i read it or imagined it i'll let you know
YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!.....lol nice and thanks dude.
With ADW.Launcher you can change the background color and transparency. If you move it to system it's only one file you need to change for a metamorph or other.

[Q] 5 apps across in the app drawer?

Hello, all.
I have tried searching to no avail.
While experimenting with different roms, I know certain roms come with the app drawer reflecting 5 apps going across the phone instead of the stock 4. My question is: Is there some kind of flashable file that can make the app drawer show 5 apps going across it?
Thanks in advance.
I use adw launcher and it can hold 5

Yea, but I'm one of the few people that like Sense. I was hoping one of the devs had made a flashable file that I just wasn't able to find.
One thing thats different about android and WM is the fact that it isn't as easy to make a flashable file for ALL ROMs. What happens is in this case for example is the rosie.apk has been modified to show 5 x 5 icons. That rosie.apk also contains some the graphics that make up the rosie (some are in another apk as well). So what would have to happen is someone would have to create a rosie.apk for each style of rosie currently available or maybe someone would create the file just for you. They could most likely do it if they new what rosie you were using. In WM it was a simple modify a registry setting or add something to the registry.
OH and just as many people like Sense as people that don't. I like it.

[Q] MIUI icon background

Launchers of like Touchwiz, iPhone, MIUI and DELL android tablet use those squared backgrounds for the icons on their home screen.
I've searched XDA for a themer/dev who has done this but no luck.
People seem to rather remove the iPhone's icon style but I think it looks nice.
Now I want to achieve this effect on a Sense or non-Sense based ROM without photo shopping every icon.
So is there a way to mod a Standalone Launcher like LauncherPro or ADW to have this icon style?
I'd love to help if any dev wants to give this a shot.
Thanks.
Ah, on second thought, I posted this at the general android forum because I can get more answers there, sorry.
Please delete this thread.

[Q] ** Flashing/Changing Icons **

NEED some help..
I got this desire, flashed on cm7 from crackflashers: s-off+cm7 patch
i decited to change some icons, but i can't do it
i've read some threads @ xda but didnt find and solution
I've used bettercut, but that is some of a wack ass app, i want to change mulitple icons not one-by-one
i want icons like the iphone has it with some background kinda like the miui
please help me out..
yes my english is bad..
Ok well there are several ways to change icons (some ROMs i believe even come with the standard sense apps icons already changed) the problem with a batch change is that the app would have to figure out which program to apply which icon to . You have much more freedom changing one icon at a time IMO

[Request] Can Somebody Make/Help me Make a Very Blue ICS Theme?

I am looking for a relatively simple theme for stock ICS, all I want are things like the app circle, (if possible) the google bar at the top, text, and everythingelse possible in ICS Blue/black and if it isn't a pain, have the home screen horizontal scroll bar black with a blue curser like in the app menu. I have tried changing some of the .png files but don't know the location of all the files nor know how to edit .9.png files. It should be easy for anyone with half a brain, maybe time consuming though with all the files to change. If anyone can give me a detailed tutorial (haven't found a really easy-to-follow one yet) or make it for me, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
(This is technically a question, however I think it best fits this section. If this is the wrong section I'll report it to a mod.)
Bump also forgot to add I'm running the newest AOKP (26).
