[Q]LauncherPro hide text of icon labels in app drawer

Hi everyone!
Is there a way to hide the text of the icon labels in the app drawer?
I only found the adjustment to hide the text of the icon labels on the homescreen.
Thanks!
IF you can't find it in the options,that means you can't
bump!
Hey I made an account just to bump this up.
I'd like the same feature! Has it been implemented? Also to reduce the number of icons in the dock to 4 would be nice.

Thank you! Any successors to launcherpro you can recommend?
Personally im using ADW, but its really on your taste. If youre fancy pants then go for go launcher or 360 launcher. If for smoothness then ADW or FTL. If you have gingerbread and want a taste of ICS then Phoenix launcher

Searching for special launcher feature

Hi Folks,
I just wanted to know if there's a launcher that shows the app shortcuts either ONLY on the Homescreen or in the drawer when it has not been placed on the Homescreen. For Example the telephone app has no function in the drawer, because its always on the main side of the Homescreen.
I would find this very useful!
thanks in advance
P.s. after posting i realized that this is not the right forum for this but i don't know how to delete or transfer it. Sorry bout that dear Admin.
nova launcher? or apex? you choose to hide things which are in a group from appearing in other groups.

I know that you can hide Apps in the drawer. But i don't really get what you mean with hiding groups. I want Apps to AUTOMATICALLY "hide" when i place an app to homescreen.

You have quite a nice screen density. On my Mate 7 everything looks much more zoomed in, which I don't like. For example, I get way less notification icons in the status bar, maybe only 6-7.
Changing the font to "small" didn't do the trick.
Any help on this?

Hello, i have a problem to with Noav. Many times Nova Launcher kill it self and go back to stock Launcher. Who can tell me what can i do? Other Launcher have the same problem (apex etc.)
Manage Apps, the bottom left of default-app settings, Launcher. Select at Nova overview. There you'll find all Launcher installed.
Nova launcher keeps crashing on me, for no reason, 2/3 times when i just unlock my phone with fingerprint sensor. M7 32gb amber gold.
Do you use any of Huawei's own widgets (e.g. the weather widget) ? If so remove them and your alternative launcher will not crash anymore.
I'm using the weather clock widget yes. I'll try it out. Tnx
Nova launcher crushers every time I try and place the amber weather widget, anyone has come across this?

Notification count on icons ?

I have OPO Indian with stock ROM, can anyone please let me if we can have notification count on the icons when the icons have something to notify.
Ex:- in Samsung devices, when we have any Whatsapp message unread, the whatsapp icon says "1" or "2" on the top of icon. I know it is possible with Nova Launcher, but I need to stick to default stock launcher, So if anyone have any idea how to achieve this ?
Thanks a lot everyone for being in OPO family...
You usually need to have a custom launcher for this feature. Nova has it, but I believe it's the paid version.

App notification between number and dot style in Android 11

Does anyone know how to change App notification between number and dot style in Android 11?
I found some tread online that Microsoft Launcher can do that. I have Nova Launcher installed and would like to stick with it.
Any ideas?

Pretty darn easy in Nova: Settings -> Notification Badges
Ha Ha, that was easy. Not sure why I was not able to find it by myself.
