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 can I arrange the icons in the application section? If I hold onto one of the icons it moves to the front. The front icons I can move around and delete, but I can't with the back icons (black screen) application icons. The back icons show up here when you download them originally from the market and I would like to remove them and rearrange them.
Unfortunately under the stock os you can't modify the icons like the other Galaxy S versions. The Epic uses touchwiz 2.5 instead of 3.0 which is on the captivate and vibrant.
I am using launcher pro and have created a shortcut to my first home screen, I was wondering if there is way to incorporate this shortcut with Desktop Visualizer to create a bigger shortcut icon.
Thanks
Anyone? Please
Couldn't you just use multiple blank png's over the top of the larger icon?
you manage to do it?
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.
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?
Having flagrantly stolen (been inspired by?) this Hubs UI, I'm now extremely close to having my Nexus 7 look and work exactly the way I want it. I'm using a combination of ADW, Minimalistic Text, Simple Text, and MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.
However, I find myself confounded by one small piece:
The icons along the center bar are tied to custom App Groups. My problem is that clicking on them causes the app group to open directly over the center bar. I'd like it to open above the center bar.
Any ideas? Thanks!!!
There's a roundabout way to do what you want. With an app called Popup Widget, you can created a shortcut that, when clicked, makes a widget appear. You can control where it appears; one choice is above the shortcut, which is what you want. Now you need to make a widget with icons for each of the apps in your group. I do this with Elixir Widget, but I'm sure there are other programs that will work.
So: there's a shortcut on the black bar, when you click it a widget appears above the bar, and the widget shows the apps in your group. Of course, this all assumes you can put shortcuts in the black bar.
