making icon packs? - General Questions and Answers

I've made icons in the past for my launchers but I've always ended up giving up as there is too many apps to keep up with and making more icons etc.
my question is how do I make icons that will work with any app e.g. I have a round icon as a background and the app itself icon goes on top. I've seen developers do this before and was curious how to do this?
thanks

I founda better way to sum it up. Basically is there a way to apply icon packs without a home replacement.

Folder Organizer
Tasker
there are probably other apps that can do it too. FO is the easiest, Tasker has other great uses to make it worth buying.

Launcher pro style icons

So, I've been searching all over xda to no avail, so I'm throwing this thread up to see if by chance anybody knows where to find what I'm looking for.
When I had my captivate, I ran setup for a while that was basically all black, and I used an icon pack that I found that was basically a ton of icons in the style of the launcher pro icons. I'm talking about the basic, frosted glass, very minimalistic style icons that launcher pro uses in their dock. However, it was a huge icon pack that had icons for many market applications. The icon set was also compatible with desktop visualizer.
Anybody know where I can find these?

Disable Icons in Statusbar

Guys don't hate me if its been discussed but I googled and couldn't find info on the Infuse. I want to disable the status bar clock and possibly the alarm clock icon too. Or be able to move them around. Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks

I'd check out UOT, I'm pretty sure the kitchen had something that allowed the task bar to be auto hidden? Or maybe that was launcher pro.....
Yeah launcher pro I can hide it but I really just want to eliminate some icons. :/

[REQUEST] Special Launcher for Widgets

I have a lot of widgets and lot of them are fullscreen widgets.
They need a lot of space and a lot of homescreens and switching between that many screes is a hell lot tedious.
I would suggest some developer to try making a launcher with following feature.
Icons for widgets. Click the 1x1 icon to see the full widget.
Others may put their ideas too...

Changing the icons in the app drawer?

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

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

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!
