Wow, I really like your background picture. Where did you get it, and can you link it here?

not my screen, but here you go:

Is there a way to replace the docked shortcuts on the bottom (phone, browser etc) with something like simple text with the stock launcher? I've been trying, but ICS won't let me place anything I make down there.


Simple text won't let you. Desktop Visualizer will. But only the first 2 widgets will work. I recommend the droidicon app from the market for icons. It works really well. That's how all my dock icons are changed

Thanks for the help! I wanted to create something that was going to work fluidly with what I have going on (thanks to the help of MANY people on here :D). I'll probably download droidicon and see what I can do.

i keep all my stuff off to the sides, including a battery indicator that is displayed in pieces of heart

anyone know if there's a way to change the app selector icon (the circle with 6 squares in it)? desktop visualizer doesn't have an option for that one, and you can't move it either

Nova will let you change all the icons (including the app drawer one) without even having to use desktop visualizer. just save your new icons on your phone, long press the icon you want to change, click edit, and select your new icon. this is so much easier than using a 3rd party app to do it. Nova is linked in my post on the first page of this thread (and several after). ;)

Where did you find that icon pack???

I actually didn't get them from an icon pack - they were just from different apps I found on the market that I downloaded then used Desktop Visualizer to make shortcuts with their icons to the programs I wanted and then uninstalled them.

Browser = "Galapagos Browser"
Play (MX Video Player) = "Eminent DLNA/UPnP Player"
Messaging = "LiveProfile"
Contacts = "NameCard"

I particularly didn't care for the default Messaging icon, and once I figured out how to change that one I decided to go for the rest and I was able to find ones that seemed to fit a color scheme.
