[Q] Changing default launcher folder icons

Has anyone figured out how to change the default folder icons in the Arc launcher? I like they way the work, just not the way they look.
I use Folder Organizer instead. Then I use Desktop Visualizer to change the icons. Then you can have folders with icons you like in the dockbar as well.
Used Swiftwork's folder icons used in his themed Arc launcher
Replace Home.apk file in /system/app using Root Explorer and change permission accordingly.

xperia arc notifcation bar and homescreen help

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.

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

Notification Icons

I recently wondered if I can copy the currently active statusbar notification icons, and paste them inside a zooper widget. By this I can simulate a statusbar within a widget.
Is this possible? I have root access/xposed/able to flash zips if required.

Nova Launcher cannot use .ico files for Shortcut icons

Nova launcher can use picture files as Shortcut icons but for some reason not .ico files... It's on its seventh version, so why not, has this never come up!?
Is it mandatory to have icon color background, is there a transparent background option?
