I am trying to edit the HTC Homeplug icons to suit my needs and I'm having trouble creating a shortcut to the Tasks app. I have created the shortcut, and it works, but displays no icon. How can I make the shortcut display an icon?
Maybe somebody could tell me how to browse the icons in an exe and find the right number for the icon?

It is available through SK shortcut editor ... I can manage whole Programs menu, hide/show icons, delete shortcuts and change icons
I would love a way of creating a shortcut on the home screen without the text label underneath the icon.
I am using the SMS Unread Count app and it can create widgets on the home screen without any text for the dialer, Messaging app and gmail. I want a link like that for the browser too.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Bump to see if anyone knows how?
The closest I came to this was using Bettercut to create a shortcut with a space in it. Though you still end up with a little grey bit underneath

Helix Launcher 2, 0.7+ has the option to hide icon text.
In the applications such as Music, People, Clock, and Mail, where are the files located for the background behind the slider and the icons? I have checked framework-res.apk, and I did not locate it. My goal is to replace the background of the slider so I can change it to the one on the newer HTC Sense devices, such as the Legend. If someone could point me to where the background image is located for this, I'd appreciate it.
In the newest ADWLauncher you can create a shortcut to the App Drawer much like creating any other shortcut - long-press the screen, select 'custom shortcut', 'custom activity', 'launcher actions.'
Using Desktop Visualizer you can create a shortcut to almost anything EXCEPT the ADW option does NOT show up in the shortcut list. Even when I click "other" in Desktop.V.
Anyway around this? I'm theming and using the 1x1 widget b/c it makes the icons larger than standard shortcuts. Everything is great except this!
Bump this.
I also want to know, any one?

It annoying isn't it, something so simple and its no an option.
But I have figured out away to do it.
1. Add a shortcut to open the app draw in the normal way.
2. Place the icon in the location you want it
3. Long press on the app draw icon and change the icon to a completely transparent icon.
4. Now create the desktop visualizer widget/shortcut in the normal way but when you choose action select none.
5. Make sure in adw setting you have overlap Widgets ticked.
6. Move your desktop Visualizer shortcut so it is just above the transparent icon that will open the app draw.
7. Long press the desktop Visualizer shortcut, select edit and the resize it so it completely covers than transparent icon. I would recommended keeping the desktop Visualizer shortcut 1x1.
8. In adw settings hit restart adw and you should be good to go, the app draw icon should be on top of the desktop Visualizer shortcut.
Hope this works for you because it does work for me

DISCO! Thanks bunches.
So, I've got a desktop full of images that I use as icons through the use of Desktop Visualizer. My whole screen (apart from dock) is filled with these images and I kind of wanted to get rid of the dock and replace it with one of these icons.
I found a solution to making the dock disappear through the use of ADW Launcher which allows you to hide the dock. It's not ideal since I would've preferred to use Nova Launcher (I'm on CM9 and I love Nova Launcher) but it has no option to hide/disable the dock (in fact, ADW Launcher is the only launcher that I've found with this option).
Anyway, now that the dock is gone, I can use it for widgets (which is basically how Desktop Visualizer works) however Desktop Visualizer does not allow you map "App Drawer" as an action. So basically all this effort has been for nothing unless I can find a way to map the icon to App Drawer.
Another thing I considered was a launcher/dock that allowed you to use custom sized icons for actions (most launchers only allow you select a certain sized icon to replace the default) but I couldn't find anything.
I've tried to search both XDA and Google but couldn't find anything useful.
TL;DR - Need Desktop Visualizer alternative or a way to map one of the widgets to act as app drawer icon.
Thanks in advance.
I need help with this too. Any ideas?
The only way I managed to do this in the past was to use a normal icon and the widget, and overlap them. (In ADW settings there is the option to allow overlapping.)
First insert the app drawer icon (Press hold > launcher actions > Open/Close app Drawer)
Insert your Desktop Visualizer widget, select the icon image, and set the action to none. Then press and hold on it, and using the re-size arrows drag it under the app drawer icon.
Finally press and hold on the app drawer icon, and change the icon to a transparent (empty) image.
You have to insert the app drawer icon first, as that makes it on top.
Its a pretty crude way of doing it, but I don't think there is another way, although I would happily be corrected if there is!
Or you could possibly just put the icon on your wallpaper then use a transparent icon.
In that way, you could have many possibilities in theming your desktop.
