I have had launcher pro for a very long time now and I don't want to change launchers but I am getting sick if its look. I have customized the dock recentley to my liking but what about the icons? I want to be able to change the icons of things that are placed in one of my 7 home screens but I can't seem to find a way to do that. Please help!
Here is what my.dock looks like now. I really want to change the icons :

Put whatever icons you want to have as your dock icons onto your phone, long press the icon you want to change, select Custom Icon, navigate to the icon you want and select it.
Custom icon.

i dont think you understand, i want to customize the icons on my screens, not on my dock, this didnt really help but thanks for your effort! anyone else?
You'll have to re-add all icons, but instead of dragging the shortcut from the app drawer to the screen hit menu>add>shortcut>applications. Pick the app, then it gives you the option to change the icon.

Got to be honest, I thought this was wrong, but hey, you can!
Btw, maybe try 'Folder Organizer' and then you drop short cuts to folders on your screen instead of app shortcuts.

Just something fun I whipped up... includes some basic iPhone icons i created from various screenshots of the iPhone 4 as well as a pretty nice iPhone-esque rain drops wallpaper.
Enjoy!

Sorry guys, I should have been more clear. All this consists of is icons and a wallpaper. To achieve the "look" you need a few simple non-root programs such as better cut and folder organizer to change the icons. I also used adw launcher to get the iPhone styled app drawer and the dock you see in the screenshot.
Absolutely no root required!
I use ADW Launcher aslo but I cannot figure out for the life of me how you got 4 icons on the bottom like that. I mean the quick launch icons at the bottom.
you need to disable the page dots, then you are able to select the choice to add 2 more buttons in the place of the dots.
Excellent. I have it now...one more question...how do I replace the dialer? I have all the other icons replaced but when I go to create a new shortcut I do not see dialer as an app?

on the Incredible you will have to select new "Activity" in BetterCut and it is listed as Phone in there.
Excellen thanks. I found it under activities and it was called phone.
Cool work. Looks good...it was only a matter of time until someone wanted their incredible to look like an iPhone. Lol oh the irony! Because when you hold it...it gets reception
I did it just for fun... i switch between ADW.Launcher (my iPhone theme) and LauncherPro (My Android theme) just to switch it up. To be honest, when using the Android iPhone theme I always feel like that is how the iPhone OS should have been!
hey rocket man! do you have a page with all your icons?
all of the ones i ported are in the zip file. i'm thinking about making a "goodies" page on Grafixpressions.com where all of our fun stuff will be posted, but it may take me some time to set that up!

Sorry if I was unclear! I was refering to if you had other icon designs besides this? I'd like to check them all out!
this for making launcherpro/plus look a little more like sense. this just themes the launcher. download the attatchment below. then extract the 3 photos out of the zip and place them on the root of your sdcard. then go into the launcherpro settings and click on appearance settings/dock background and then navigate to the pictures you put onto the sdcard and click on 1 of the 2 sense launcher icons. then go back home/launcherpro. long hold on each of the launcher icons at the bottom and click on "change shortcut" then click on "blank". this will get rid of all the icons at the bottom to where clicking at the bottom wont do anything. then long hold on the left/middle/right launcher icons and click "change shortcut" then you can add whatever you want to them. then after choosing the app you want, if it doesnt bring up the choose icon menu then long hold on the icon again and choose "custom icon" and then navigate to the "blank icon" photo you extracted out of the zip and it should become an invisible icon. its really alot easier than i may be making it sound. if you need any help just ask and i'll be more than happy to assist
and to really get the sense look, flash mrinehart93's Sense/Rosie THEME for AOSP 2.2/CyanogenMOD 6.0.0 now with themed Settings menu

Great job, these icons look cool. Not trying to be picky, but you spelled "dialer" wrong (dailer).
ouch thanks.
I'm still new to customizing and such, how do I put these icons on my phone?

If your running a rooted phone with a custom ROM, you should be able to hold down the icon until a little edit icon appears, and you can select its icon from there. Be sure to place your icons folder on the root of your SD card.
Yes my phone is rooted and I see the Edit option at the bottom when I click and hold an icon but the gear symbol next to the word Edit is greyed out and won't allow me to drag the icon to it.

I have to use a launcher for that. Go launcher Ex is amazing and free.
I use adw launcher and its awesome as well. Like it better than the rest, but its whatever works best for you.

After you have created your widget, it is under "Advanced" and check the "Notification" box. That will hide it from your home screen and put it in your notification tray.

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?
