Anyone know if it is possible to make the app drawer transparent? I have always thought the black background while scrolling through apps was ugly. I am sure this is possible through Metamorph but I have no skills.

All things are possible through ADWLauncher.
Re: [Request] Transparent App Drawer
Thanks I feel stupid now. Never noticed the "alpha" slider.

Does an invisible widget / icon exist that can be made to launch a user defined app?
Maybe I'm going about this wrong...
Perhaps I can add an app to my home screen and change its icon to something completely transparent?
Either way, pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

So basically you want an app icon on your homescreen that noone can see?
I suppose you could make a transparent app icon of the correct size, or if it wont take transparency just put a pixel in it, and use BetterCut to assign it to the app..

Essentially yes. The effect I'm looking for in the end is to press a certain part of my background image and have a particular app launch.
I'll take a look at BetterCut, thanks

If you go to launcher pro.com and search the forum you can find the transparent icons. I use them and love it

Funny you mention Launcher, thats what I run and it occurred to me I can make a shortcut in it to the desired app and assign it a transparent icon.
As soon as I find a completely transparent icon, I'll be able to try it out...
get your sexting on!
Have a question. I'm trying to customize the app drawer icon with one of my own icons I got on the web. I know I'm able to just drag other icons to the dock bar but how do I do it for the "box" drawer icon? Is this possible? I know launcher pro does ask this but adw runs better for me... Thanks.

Download the theme template and make your own theme:

Please be sure to share here. I'd love to see your work.
I'm sure most people know, but i havent figured out which launcher this is.

I'm not interested in the minimalistic text widgets, just the bar on the bottom. Which launcher is it?
I'm thinking launcher pro. the icons are custom though.

Looks like LauncherPro from one of Myn's ROMs.

It's Myn Warm TwoPointTwo Themed launcher Pro
All you have to do is:
1. Open up your favorite grapics editor/creator
2. Make an image 480x185
3. Make it look however you want, with text or anything, spaced out keeping the 5 icons spacing in mind
4. Use it as your dock background (with ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro), and setup blank icon image files for the icons for the shortcuts
That's how I made this: http://i.imgur.com/qdI0G.jpg

Yeah I don't run it with the bar on the bottom, it was just a screenshot I had because someone wanted to see what it looked like. The bar on the bottom looks weird and trips me out too much to use.
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knows of an app which can change the icons in the app drawer? I've tried many apps but all they do is change the home screen icons. Any help on how to do this would be very much appreciated.

This function may be possible by switching to a different launcher, but I do not know which launcher would be capable of doing this. Usually the images in the drawer are read directly from the apk, and the apps which change the icons on the home screen can get around this by making a widget with the specified icon, which points to the application.
If there are only a few applications you want changed, it is possible to change them the hard way, by extracting the apk, changing the icon in the "/res/drawable-?dpi" folder, and then installing the new application by hand. (It will no longer be signed, so you will have to go to allow this in Settings > Applications > Unknown sources)
I don't think any launchers are capable of changing app drawer icons. Looks like I may have to do it the hard way

You can use go launcher which has option to change icons.. All U need is an icon pack..

Launcher pro can change app drawer icons,as can adw launcher. Just get an icon pack...or better still, make one. It's easier with launcher pro.

I'm using adw launcher and it can't change the icons. I have a really cool icon pack, and it changes the icons... but not all of them.. so everything doesn't match. On adw you can't manually change the icons of an individual app. I'll give launcher pro a go

Try LiveHome. With this launcher, you can manually change the icon and also label name of any app in appdrawer.
Cheers man. It won't recognise my icon pack though, but still, it's the first launcher I've seen that can change the app drawer icons

I finally posted in 2 forums last night, asking if anyone knew ANYway to, but still no answers at 1 &was told that only thing possible is there are some apps that change icons &let u change labels on Home screens only, at the other. I'm gonna try this right now. Thanks ALOT!!!

Can it? Without using a Launcher?

When i press long a Icon in the Drawer this comes direct on my Desktop, no Options , the Options are only at the Desktop!
Why ??
Nova launcher just got an update, now to change an app drawer icon (to a picture from gallery and hence a uzip, or from an apk) long press on the app icon in the draw. Drag it to the edit symbol. Click the app icon in the edit popup. Choose icon as desired!

don't you think it's gonna look weird if it's transparent anywhere??? just imagine you are in an app with opaque background ( which is 99.999% of apps have opaque background), and then the nav bar is transparent alone. it will look weird.
