Change Sense to 5 column layout? And other Sense questions - HTC Sensation

Hi all
Coming back to Sense from CM is giving me a few issues but there's a few things I was wondering if I could change to make it more to my liking.
1.) Is it possible to have more than 4 columns of icons across the homescreens?
2.) Is it possible to change the right soft key on the navbar (the palette and brush)? I've owned a hero, A Desire, a Desire HD and a Sensation and don't think I've ever pressed it!
3.) Is it possible to have more than 4 columns in the app drawer?
I know I can install a new launcher but I was wondering if it's possible to just do it on Sense with a couple of mods.
Thanks for any help!

Transparency issues

I`m using SPB MS 3.5.3, with no addon or patch whatsoever. I`m trying to "port" the iPhone look (made my custom iPhonish icons + a custom taskbar), but I`m having a hard time making the menubar buttons transparent. I`ve removed the 2 buttons using ShellExtension, thus the only think keeping me from succesfully accomplishing my task is that menubar (the carousel on the left and the options [Add widget, Edit Layout, etc.] on the right)...
Any suggestions? Is it possible to make them transparent? Moving them on the upper part of the screen would also be wonderful!
Thanks in advance!

Try the UOT KITCHEN for theming the notification bar.

Look in adw settings to change they way the app drawer scrolls. You can change it to horizontal or vertical scrolling.
With the coredroid ROM, they have some customized status bars you can download to their ROMs. For example when I pull the bar down, it is partly translucent and there is a little Droid guy in the bottom right. You can also download a rotate fix which allows you to view your phone in landscape view even on the homescreen.

HTC Sense Font Size

This is a mirror of my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131422
I decided it might not be just a HTC Sensation (Sense 3.0) thing. If a mod could close my other topic, that'd be great.
I accidentally increased my font size, making my some of my app shortcut names cut off due to the increased size. I would like to know what I did to increase it on accident, and how to decrease it.
Thanks!

Have you cooked a theme via UOT Kitchen? There you are able to configure other fonts and/or sizes.

I'm running the stock gingerbread (2.3.4) on the sensation 4g (bootloader locked, so i can't be cooking any roms). I somehow accidentally increased the font size of the shortcut names on the home screen w/ htc sense 3.0. And I don't know how to decrease them back to normal.

[Q] Transparent bottom dock \ launch bar?

Hi guys! Hope I'm posting in the right section.
Is there any way to get the dock bar (also known as launch bar) on the bottom of the home screens to be (semi-) transparent? Should be possible since HTC's own "Serene", "Memories", "Painting the world" and "Spaceship Earth" skins have a semi-transparent dock. Now if you're asking, why I just don't use one of those skins, it's because they add a different color scheme and I like the default android-green one.
I'm also a fan of Sense 4, so I do not want to use any launchers, but would be willing to flash a custom Sense Rom if there's one with a transparent dock (or if there's another way to achieve transparency on a custom rom)
Thanks in advance!

You can either make your own skin, or install leedroidROM

Download trickdroid tweaks for tweaks app or extract energy tweaks from energy rom
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Use trickdroidrom install the tweaks app and supersmooth rosie and then you have it
I suggest using the Axiom S ROM as it has an option to easily toggle this setting with no flashing tweaks. When I tried TrickDroid and the tweaks package, I had soooo many issues. With Axiom, it all works.

[Q] Can't change icons on Productivity lockscreen

When I change icons in the dock bar they do not change on my productivity lockscreen......any ideas why, or how to fix?
HTC One S, stock, 4.0.3 sense 4.0
Well I figured this out. I was changing the icons in the dock bar as you are supposed to do.....however someone with greater intelligence than me may have clued in a bit quicker that when using a 3rd party launcher you really need to switch back to the stock Sense locker and change the icons there.....I'm an idiot!
