[Q] Resizing Dock Icons?

I'm looking for a way to resize the icons that I use for my dock. Currently, I run Go Launcher and am using TallMin text-based icon images... when placed on the dock they display smaller than I'd like, there's a lot of empty space between them.
Now, I know the actual png files are larger than they appear on the dock (viewing them in Astro, they are displayed in the desired size), so re-sizing them is not what I'm looking for.
I'll take some screen shots to clarify if need be, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to tell the icons/launcher to increase their display size? Is this a feature for the dock that I could find in a different launcher?

It is doable in ADW launcher. I'm not sure about go. You could also use desktop Visualizer to get the effect you want.

I was told Desktop VisualizeR would not resize dock icons... I'll give it a shot though.
Edit: Doesn't seem to work with DVR, I can make screen icons but it doesn't let me change things in the dock.

Really need to make dock icons bigger in Go Launcher! Please, anyone know a solution?

It should be possible to resize the dock in the new 2.73 update, but I only have the option to resize the icon size on all icons? Help?

I also have been wondering this. I love GoLauncher, but have moved to ADW just because of the size of the dock icons.
I'll be watching this thread in hopes we get an answer!

how do i change the icons of the apps in my dock WITHOUT using a custom launcher?

hi everyone,
is there a way to change the icons of the apps in the dock on my GN? i tried installing Go Launcher EX and i found that it wasn't very fluid. I would much rather stay with the stock launcher. i just wish there was an easy way to change the icons in the dock so they could match the style of my home screen!
dialer, gmail. handcent and web browser are what i'm trying to trick out.
any help is very appreciated!
thank you
chris

As far as I know, it's not possible to modify app icons in the dock of the stock launcher.

^ seconded...I'm not sure that it can be done without a) changing the files in the framework on the Stock Rom, or using another launcher.

crud ok then, which launchers have worked the best for you on the GN? I'm really looking for one that will be as fluid as the stock launcher and not hog too many resources

ADW Ex is updated for ICS and is very quick/smooth and resource friendly.

You can do it with "Desktop Visualizer". Just create a new shortcut with the app, apply any icon you want, assign it to the application you want to open and drag it down to the dock.

Nope, that's not possible. The Folder Organizer-folder does'nt stick in the dockbar.

Of course you can. I have.
Use Folder Organizer shortcuts, they work perfectly.

Edit: Nevermind. Misunderstood the question.

[Q] Modify bottom dock bar

with custom 5 icon docks for touchwiz is it possible to relocate the "applications" icon from its far right position? it is not possible with a otb rom.

Have you tried an application like LauncherPro, or Go Launcher? They offer settings to change your dock, to have the icons in whatever order you want, linking to whatever you want, with any icons you want (there is even an ICS icon pack).

yes, im actually using go launcher on my g2x i like the look and feel of touchwiz. kind of bored with stock android atm. appreciate the insight.

Changing Icons

Does anyone know how to entirely change the icon pictures including the ones in drawer?
thanks very much in advance.

What you mean by drawer?
you can change the one in the status bar by renaming SystemUI.apk to SydtemUI.apk.zip, then find the picture, drag out out and edit, drag it back in, then remove the .zip extension.

Get Apex or Nova launcher from the Play Store and the you can download icon packs that change everything. Or with Apex (and maybe Nova) you can manually set icons for each app. This means that you don't have to go customizing android zips and things.
You also get many other advantages using a custom launcher over stock, I highly recommend it.

I mean drawer as in the Menu where theres all the apps you have.
I know I can change the icons on home screen with customized launchers apps but how change the ones from the Menu?

The tedious and impractical way would be to extract the .apks of all the apps you wanted to change and manually change them, but I don't think any launchers out there (well, any free ones or ones I've used) that allow this feature. You're outta luck. ): I tried looking for this awhile back also, but I could never find it.

I use an app called Icon Changer from Google Play
It changes the homescreen icons and the app drawer icons I believe. Very easy to do.
Good luck!

[Q] ADW Editing Icons in App Drawer

After mostly lurking XDA for some time, I'm starting to get more involved here. I just broke down and purchased ADW EX, to setup a custom theme. I'm looking to use a combination of icons from Aw0ken ADW Theme, Elegant, and Simple Text. Naturally I'd like to use ADW EX, as I just purchased it, like it's options, and is compatible with the icon packs I like.
What I need to figure out is how exactly I can specifically edit different icons in the app drawer it's self. I find it relatively simple to change them on the home screen, but see no obvious way to change them in the drawer. My OCD in me is having a hard time here. Too many apps that I use regularly, either do not have a icon in the pack(s) at all, or one that does not look aesthetically appealing imo.
TL;DR - I'm open to any options that could get me to a result in which I could mix and match icons from different packs. Specifically, I want them to mix and match in the app drawer. Can't seem to get to any edit mode there, after trying long presses and multi-presses of icons.
Thanks in advance, let me know if I need to elaborate.

The app drawer that lists all of your applications, or the dock on the bottom of the home screen? Pretty sure u can't edit in the app drawer itself...

The app drawer itself. I know nova launcher lets you, my problem is that I don't see a way to make one of the icon packs work for it.

I use nova prime, and have for a while, and there is no way to change an icon in the app drawer itself!
