Is there any way to modify the icons that are displayed on the lockscreen? I bought bettercut for that purpose, but it seems that I can't use it to change the icons on the lockscreen itself, just make shortcuts with new icons.

Menu -> Settings -> Personalize -> Lockscreen -> chose the lockscreen you want then press "settings" Form here, you should be able to change the icons.
I'm no longer running GB so the above is from memory.
Also, if you're using another launcher, you have to go back to the Sense launcher to make the change. Once you change it, you can go back to your launcher of choice.

I don't think the op is talking about just changing the shortcut but more so the icon that is displayed for that shortcut.
This is just an example but something like instead of the stock gmail icon maybe a happy face.

I mistakenly replaced the "Dialer Storage" shortcut icon at the bottom that was once in the Dockbar. I search through the installed apps, but I only see "Dialer".
I could be wrong, but I believe this is the default Android dialer... Have you tried reinstalling ADW - this might bring it back...you would, of course have to uninstall ADW first.

Maybe it was jus a modified shortcut icon and it really led to the dialer app?

Try "Anycut" from the Market. It lets you create shortcuts for hidden apps.

I used Anycut and found the correct dialer icon. Thanks
Search on the market for "CreativeThemez" for awesome themes!

To get the call log shortcut
Go to home screen and long press and select custom shortcut/pick your activity/activities/dialer storage
If you dont have any sub activity as above in dialer storage do as below.
Go to home screen and long press and select custom shortcut/pick your activity/activities/phonebook/Call log
And select any icon you prefer and save it on home screen.
Then simply drag it to the bottom bar any location u prefer.

I want to know how to set a custom shortcut icon. Im running ADW EX and I know you can add a custom shortcut then click the picture, problem is I am running a theme and I want to use Go SMS with the themed stock messaging icon. Where are those icons located? Is there a way to get to those icons somehow or do i have to extract them? If my question doesnt make sense ill try to clear it up. Thanks!

easiest way is desktop visualizer free app on the market.
Sent from 1.5GHz CM7 Nexus S.
ok ill give that a go. Does anyone know the path to locate the system icons? So I can choose them in the appropiate app.
Edit: Ok so i gave desktop visualizer a go and its exactly what i want. HOWEVER when i choose the messaging icon and the nthe application Go SMS it still brings up the default messaging icon instead of the the themed messaging icon. Any ideas?
I just want to know how to get example1 instead of examplecurrent (attached).
I am ultra new to this modding stuff and have no idea what to even call this bar. But I am wanting to the the transparent 5 icon thing w/ phone messages ect at the bottom instead of the little standout-ish 3 icon one... help plz =P
All you'll have to do is install LauncherPro from the market. It is a launcher replacement app and is extremely popular. You'll be able to choose what apps/icons to put in the dock(that's what the bar is called ) along with all sorts of other customizations. There are other launcher replacement apps like ADW, GO launcher, Zeam, etc. Each have their own advantages and you'll just have to see what works best for you and your phone.
Then what?!
Ok I have downloaded LauncherPro , I believe cm7 already came with ADW or w/e so how do I change over and try the new one out and mess with settings and all that?
When you go to the homescreen you should get a popup asking you which launcher to use. If not, there's an app called home switcher or something like that. The settings can be found by pressing the menu button then selecting preferences. To change which apps and icons are in the dock, just long press on the one you want to change and you'll get a popup menu.
i dont use the builtin messaging app on my phone, i use chompsms. is there a way to replace the messaging icon next to contacts and applications with the chompsms icon?
I think it depends on the launcher you use.

It has been ages since I used the TW launcher, but I believe you open your app drawer, press menu, change to customizable grid, then menu then edit... then maybe just drag it down there.
If you are using another launcher, it would be considerably easier.
EDIT, yeah, just booted up, that is how you do it....
You can then change it back to alphabetical if that is your preference, the dock icons will remain the same as you changed them.
I have a set of ADW icons activated on my HOX, but the lockscreen shows the stock icons. Is there any way to change to them?

Lockscreen shortcuts follow the the shortcuts set in the Sense launcher
So there's no way to change them?

Go back to the Sense launcher and change your shortcuts.
Either
Clear defaults for ADW so you can choose the Sense launcher when you hit the home button
or
Use the ADW setting to set the Sense launcher as the default launcher (can't remember what the setting was called)
Might need to clear defaults for the Sense launcher so you can set ADW as the default launcher once you're done
Thanks very much!
