Lets us peek at your Screens!

menu > preferences > appearance settings > dock background > custom

I followed those steps but it only appears in the background and the default icons go over the top of it... What am I doing wrong? When I choose custom it takes me to the gallery where in the downloads folder I find the dock and select it. It appears, but only as a background and the default icons scroll over it????

Now what?
I have the HTC EVO

phew... 54 pages done! I'm a super noob android user, recently switched over from the iPhone and I gotta say, you guys gave me some great ideas and made customizing my phone super easy.

Just thought I'd stop lurking and say thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread:D


Same here - hit my 54th page today. Every1 is awesome even the guys who quote all the screenshots only ask for 1 thing. LOL.

Thanks folks, lots of creative people here.

Here is my Home Screen I put together this morning. I have already changed it, but can't show it yet :)

Hi...can you or someone else tell me what the dock icons are/where I can get them?? Part of a theme or downloadable?? I've seen them around but haven't found a name or source...THANKS!!

Also, is that an available theme for the weather something that is also available?? Or did you create/tweak by yourself?? That sunken 3D (or perhaps it is (-)3D negative 3D or D3?? :D) is GREAT!!

THANKS!

Scudder those look like the stock Launcher Pro dock icons they come with Launcher Pro, or you might be able to get them at www.[B]launcherpro[/B].com

The dock icons are indeed launcher pro. It is a different launcher from HTC Sense. You can get it from the market.

As for the weather, it is an app called Beautiful Widget (which is 1.99). There are skins for it that are free that you can download. That is one of the skins :)

Is it a rom or what that allows you to change the dock? I don't want to use Launcher Pro Plus. I want the words for my doc, not icons. How can one do so?

With Launcher Pro (free in market) you can just long press on the icon you want to change and replace that one with any icon you have stored on your sd card. There are lots of places to get them and lots of suggestions here in this thread

Found some text icons I liked for my dock, tweaked the font color to complement my wallpaper and added some icons above the text on the dock so it was easier to see what button I was tapping on in some circumstances and came up with this:

I might change some things around, maybe add some more icons to the text...

Whatcha all think??

By the way, all the text on the page is created with Minimilistic Text widget by Devmil

What clock are you using? I'm liking it!! :)

It's called Clock Widget. :)

Very cool, how did you get that custom notification bar look? Different rom? And is that an icon set?

All these pics are very impressive. I wish at least one of my friends was interested in tweaking their android phones but alas, most have iphones and blackberries.

Yeah it is a different ROM. It is MikFroyo. The icon set you can find here. [ICONS] Scrambble - xda-developers
