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.

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 :/
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.
So this is the concept:
Instead of having a wallpaper with custom Icons, you have a custom wallpaper with the icons designed on the wallpaper itself and the icons set to an invisible icon (Simply save an icon with "Simple Text-Text Icon Creator" without any text). This way you can design complex wallpapers with shapes that have the functions in the painting itself.
Just an idea that came to mind recently, you still have to drop the icons on the correct grid part though. You can change the icon using Apex or Nova launcher.
All the best
Current wallpaper
I have an invisible folder with my most used apps on the left and the gallery at the top. You can also name the folders with a space so only a panel comes up.
At the bottom are phone, messages, app grid and two apps.
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

is it possible to show widgets in the widget drawer as app style icons instead of large "widget" icons? i'd like to tidy up my widget drawer (to match the rest of my phone) but it's impossible with the different sized widget icons that hog a full page for just 6. heck, i would be perfectly happy to just list the widgets in a list, as text only, if that were possible. i'm using nova launcher and haven't found any settings that would allow me to alter the widget icons appearance. any thoughts?
