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.

I have themed my phone, well really ADW, with y0rk's Green ADW theme and love the way it looks, except for one thing. I would like to use a certain icon for the dialer on the dock, but I can't add the dialer to the desktop then drag it over the dialer on the dock like I can do to use the icons I want for the browser and app drawer. Does anyone know how I could go about doing this? Thank you!
Use desktop visualizer to make your icon and action. Then you can drop your new icon/action on the dock.
Dialer doesn't show up in desktop visualizer either :/
I like the sense widgets, but since trying other launchers I've come accustomed to having no ugly texts under icons.
Also, I always make the icons a bit smaller. I just think it looks sleeker...
Can it be done for Rosie?
For homescreens and dockbar you can use Desktop Visualizer. Doesn't work in App Drawer though. For changing icons in the dockbar you need to open the app itself instead of using widgets and don't forget to tic "Encode" or the icons will revert back to standard.
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?
Hello!
I'm using nova launcher and...it would really be grate, if i could define the transparency of all the icons on all my homescreens.
I know how to disable the icon names, but i would like to have, nearly, transparent icons...
Is that able on my s3 with nova?

I can only think of a couple options for this. Either find a compatible icon theme with transparency in playstore (nova, apex, adw icon packs should all work), or make your own icons and and edit your shortcuts one by one.
Of course you could always request this as a feature to be added by the dev. Here is the nova thread:

edit: Here are round transparent icons - the closest I can find to what you are looking for

Some launchers e.g. Smart Launcher have a option to normalize icons. OP launcher is missing this option as far as I know.
How about some unified Icon Pack e.g. Whicons?
Icon Pack alone should fix the size problem.
