Show Off Your XE Homescreens - (with tips)

Either start using a Launcher that allows custom icons (most of them) but make sure you enable the clean slate skin/profile on sense first as Sense is still loaded behind the Launcher (in other words, remove everything from ALL of your homescreens as they will still be running in the background) When you install a Launcher it will normally start up upon phone bootup so sense will never interfere with the appearance of your new shiny setup.

Top 6 Android Launchers Worth Trying Out [UPDATED] | Tech Drive-in

good list of Launchers.

OR

you could root your phone by following the lovely guides on here or on the xda forums and then apply your own icons but i imagine it is quite a long (complicated) process.

Hope this helps

Hello all, been mad busy with work and must have changed my set up at least ten times. Gone for a simple,dark look and I'm using the Apex Launcher at the moment too. For ICS it craps all over Go, LPP and IMO Nova too. All just my opinion though, but I have tried them all now. Just using 3 screens at the mo.

Lock Screen - Using Widget Locker of course. The clock is One More Clock and the missed call/sms is Missed It!

Home Screen - Another One More Clock with Extended Controls and the hardly noticeable Jack face icon (bottom right) is a Lock Now for Widget Locker

Left x1 - Audio Manager at the top, Cloudskipper music player and the custom text icons are for various ICS folders.

Right x 1 - Smooth Calendar at the top with System Info Widget below it. The Whip is so my Mrs knows when I'm home :D

App Drawer - Via Apex Launcher

Handcent - just for the eye candy really ;)
