Has anyone figured out how to change the default folder icons in the Arc launcher? I like they way the work, just not the way they look.
I use Folder Organizer instead. Then I use Desktop Visualizer to change the icons. Then you can have folders with icons you like in the dockbar as well.
Used Swiftwork's folder icons used in his themed Arc launcher
Replace Home.apk file in /system/app using Root Explorer and change permission accordingly.
Clear data on SE Home application settings required as widgets on top row of homescreen will disappear

Ok so i have a few questions about the stock homescreen. I was wondering if it was possible for the wallpaper to not move as you scroll pages? Also.. the buttons on the bottom like the appdrawer? How can we change it.... It looks terrible and never matches any theme.
Notfication bar wise how can we hide certain things in the notification bar. such as like the hdmi notification. Or like able to hide when you get a message up there. Currently i have a message pop up wigit that doesnt not go away, So everytime i get a message i have notifications at the top....
any ideas would be great. I have been using launcher pro.... then adw ex.... but i still like the original home screen....
For the soft buttons use folder organiser or desktop visualizer, and an icon pack, both let you create custom shortcuts to use in lieu of the stock icons. Re static wallpaper, an app called picspeed has a huge range and an inbuilt wallpaper setting for that. Message settings gives the option not to show in status bar.

install adw icons package from market...
I know how to make new icons or what ever but you can't change the app drawer. It goes away and a garbage can takes its place. The rest of the apps I can do. But the app drawer won't budge. I don't want to use lol... Or adw. I have both and like them. I would like to use time scape widget. Both of those you can't.

The drawer icon can be changed, but you need to decompile the launcher apk, edit it and recompile it. Festa20s rom has a custom drawer icon, you could pm him. Or use apk tool.

picspeed is awesome. you can pick a photo using the app and make it unscrollable. then choose your own wallpaper the normal way it would still have the nonscrolling
Is it possible?
It is... Possible...
By mod the necessary apks.
You can edit the home apk to change the app icons permanently, or use something like desktop visualiser to change the icons of shortcuts on the desktop.
guys, how to change icons in GN?
i tried with desktop visualizer and it worked somewhat but not perfectly. Dock icons are smaller than normal. I can only choose Desktop Visualizer ShortCut for dock. Bigger icons cant be put in dock. Using shortcut with custom icons make the icons pretty small than the normal icons.
But in the screenshot thread i have seen people using custom icons which are bigger.
So, is there anything wrong that i am doing here? is there any other way to make a shortcut and change the icon?
cheers
I suggest you use another Launcher rather than the stock one, Try GO LauncherEX or ADW LauncherEX. These launchers will allow you to customize much more.

I've had the same problems with custom icons turning out small. right now I am running a launcher but seems overkill to run a whole launcher just to change a couple icons.
Hello, I just installed Apex launcher and by default, it used a theme(Outline theme) that I installed for Trebuchet (CM9). However, that theme does not have an icon for Chrome. I tried tap and hold Chrome and edit the icon, however, I cannot locate the icon thumbnail that I want to use to replace it (in this case, the icon for internet browser).
Does anyone know where I can find the icons of the theme?
Thanks

go to apex settings choose behavior settings an then press enable quick actions.than at your homescreen long tap on the icon you want and from then tap on the thumbail an browse the new icon that you like...you may have different options such as use default icon,select from icon pack etc
Nova launcher can use picture files as Shortcut icons but for some reason not .ico files... It's on its seventh version, so why not, has this never come up!?
Is it mandatory to have icon color background, is there a transparent background option?
