Does anyone know if it is possible to add a blank space on the dock instead of the plus sign? Or instead be able to make an icon on the dock shift home screens? Lastly is there a way to make the ADW stop scaling the icons on the dock, i understand that you can control the size but most of the time with custom icons it does not scale but instead shift the icon higher up on the dock.

Blank space on the dock:
Hold the +.
Change Shortcut
Blank
As for switching homescreens:
Hold the +.
Change shortcut.
Homescreens
Previous/Next Screen
As for the shift:
If you find out, let me know. lol
The only way to get the next/previous screen buttons on ADW Ex is to use the three icon dock instead of five.

you can get adw launcher, and change the settings so each screen is 8x8 instead of 4x4.
But 4x4 or 5x5 is about optimal, because the icons are a standard size any more than this and icons will begin to overlap and it is difficult to touch a specific icon and not accidentally click the wrong one (which is why I think they made it 4x4, to avoid clutter, easier to keep track of coordinates, etc)
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.

if u use launcher pro in settings disable wallpaper scrolling and for changing d icons use adw launcher ...long press d icon n go to edit n change d icons wit d adw icons package...
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
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.
Is it possible to replace the button icons with different images? For example depending on the theme you have the Mms icon is different. How can I chose just the icon I want out of the them instead of the whole theme?

This thread has a bunch of icon packs you can download and it also tells you how to change the icons on your homescreen, dock and Appdrawer.
Hope this helps.
Which button(s) are you referring too? If it's on the home screen or dock it's fairly simple when using Go Launcher EX.
Simply long press the icon , wait for the pop-up menu, choose replace and you'll have the option to select Default icon, Theme's Icon or Custom icon.
If it's in the app drawer then it's a little harder as the icons are set within the theme package itself and as far as I know there is no way to change just one icon from here on the fly.
Thanks g4me0v3r.

You can't remove the dock on this version of Asus Launcher, but if you switched to a different launcher such as Nova, you might be able to.
I don't understand exactly what you're looking to remove.
The whole dock bar? Something in the dock bar? The app tray button?
Just the icon label on dock bar (text).
