[Q] Desktop Visualizer widget sizes for SII?

Hey anyone here know what dimensions work best when making a full home screen layout with desktop visualizer widgets?

I used 3x1 and 1x2 widgets in LauncherPro to make my layout with a 1x4 minimalistic text widget at the bottom (though in the main screen i used a 3x1 text widget with another 1x1 desktop visualizer widget). It looks like hxxp://bit.ly/j5We3q

[Q] Desktop Visualizer and My Droid Incredible 2

I downloaded Franwella's "simple white" icons from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256865 onto my Verizon Droid Incredible 2.
When I create an icon on my home page using Desktop Visualizer and select icon pack none of the icons are showing up, and they are not found in any of the other options.
EDIT: Ok, so I ended up figuring it out, BUT the icons all ended up in my photo gallery. I really don't want them to clutter the gallery up, so anyway to transfer them into the icon pack section?

I can relate. I hate having the icons in my gallery as well. One thing I don't like about the 3d gallery... you can't exclude or hide folders.

How to change icons in GN?

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.

Themes - Needing some help

Not sure if this should go in Q&A or Theme and Apps.
Basically, i've been looking over at mycolorscreen and i've noticed that people share their wallpapers.
I.E
http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/08/04/panel/
You'll notice that the wallpaper has the icons already there. Now, how would I make the icons clickable. Are the icons invisible, if so what do I need to do this?
I'm not wanting the above theme, but quite a lot of homescreens have this.

Another good one is this

Okay it's a .psd but how would I then make the icons clickable within Apex?
I'm slightly confused...

Make a transparent icon with Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.
Then use Desktop Visualizer from the Android market.
Using this app put the icon you created over the specific part of the wallpaper(where the actual icon is) and then using Desktop visualizer assign an app to that transparent icon.So when you click the transparent icon,it will appear as if you are clicking the icon on the wallpaper.Hope i was clear..

Just a quick question.
Photoshop - you mean on a computer? it's not a problem, I have it.
Also, whats the best dimensions? and what do I save it as, a .PNG? Jpeg? or PSD?
