Adw ex no longer able to change dock background? - Thunderbolt General

I've been searching high and low. I can't seem to change the dock background on Adw ex anymore. Did they move the location of the option, or did they take it out completely? I am using this since launcher pro doesn't play well with the leaked GB release.

The new v4 that flings? Damn i love how smooth it is. Anything else?
Good to know adw is running good.

Caught between ADW (newest release really speeds up the drawer) and LP...options are a good thing.
I've been using ADW EX since getting the phone and on my nexus one. The drawer was always a bit slow on first load, but works awesome after

Stock has the smoothest app drawer out of any of them. And I don't resize widgets or use scrollable widgets so I just stick with the default.
I use lp and it hasn't caused problems nor lag. I set the app drawer to 3D verticle which is identicle to the stock one and its super fast...very zippy
Adw is good too. Its a preference thing so I prefer lp

ive been using ADW EX on mytouch4g and just got my lg g2x and its running great expecially with the new update that just came out today. it has way more easier access to customization.
its well worth the couple bucks$
I moved to launcher pro. Adw is my favorite for options. But LP is just fast.

Go for it. Just make sure you got it (app drawer) set to the fastest setting then you'll see what we're talking bout

Did you read my launcher reviews? Launcher Pro used to be king of speed on the G2x but with the recent update from ADW which allows the launcher to take advantage of duel core CPU's by allowing the use of hardware acceleration. Using the paid version of ADW speeds up the entire G2x as a whole. Now the ball is in LP's court. They need to retake the king of speed back from ADW.

It is lightning fast and was the quickest until ADW just optimized theirs with a update yesterday. I didn't think anything could compete with LP but ADW really stepped up to the plate with there hardware acceleration update. By the way. You only get hardware acceleration in ADW EX. It's worth every penny as it makes the entire phone quicker and more smooth.

I pulled it from an Oxygen ROM port for the N1. And you can change shortcuts on the dock. Just hold the icon. There are also more settings when you hit Menu then Launcher Prefs.

What I meant was the ability to use a custom icon for apps in dock.

Go and adw only allow for 5 spaces, any other launchers with 7? I could have sworn Go used to, but not now.

Lightning launcher let's you set it up literally however you want.
No icons, 1 icon, sideways icons... mine is just a list...
It's crazy customizable if you're down to put in the time to set it up... but it's amazing and light on ram and fast.

What's your favorite launcher? I'm trying to figure out witch one I like most. Some are to much some are not enough. I'm liking apex at the moment. I've tried go, nova, adw. What's your input?

I used to use Go all the time, but switched to Nova fairly recently, and am very happy with it. The only thing I miss from Go is the "recent apps" window in the app drawer, but the built-in recent apps menu is pretty close in functionality.
I've tried about all of them and keep coming back to Apex. The free version allows you to use some gestures that Nova charges for. I didn't like the recent update because it was giving me problems dropping apps in folders so I am using an older version.
I used to use Go but switched to Nova after I tried all of them, became a favorite of mine.

I use Nova Launcher, so fast its really good ( and using CleanROM 4.5) so its really good with performance and stability.
Using nova here as it was on sale for only 25 cents a month or so ago... Hard to pass that up. Before that was just using touchwiz and on my DROID eris back in the day I used adw and maybe go launcher.
