Hello. Just wondering if there is a simple way to change the icons for shortcuts on the homescreen. Some are just plain ugly, and I'd love to have something more visually appealing.
I use desktop visualizer. its a free app
Works great, thanks!

Hello all,
As a new user I'm apparently not allowed to post links at all until I'm verified. So that means you'll have to a little leg work to find some things if you're interested.
This is my customized phone. I used the same background in my blog; The icons I made in a roundabout way—Bobbyperux over at Deviantart, made a pretty all inclusive tutorial on how to make them. It even had a video. You'll need to know something about Photoshop and have a tiny bit of patience. I changed the font to futura and the color to white. Except for the android market, ha. Little color never hurt anyone. The phone is rooted, non-market apps are enabled, and I can sync to my itunes with ease. Mac user.
Anywho give it a whirl--the icon pack is called up to date icons.
Id like to change my icon set too. Do you have to be using launcherpro or can u change them on the stock TW?
Thx.

The news widget is called buzz box-- its pretty nifty. You can choose from a ton of sources within the actual widget and it updates the news all day. I don't know how it effects battery life, but my captivate seems to be dealing with it just fine.

Yes, its LauncherPro. On the home screen I used Folder Organizer, as LauncherPro could can only change dock icons.
Does anyone know of a way to resize icons on the home screen? Not the widgets but the icons. Something free would be great. And not Desktop Visualizer, the free version only let's you resize widgets,
not what I want. Thanks in advance.

Update: figured it out
Resize the icons using Photoshop or GIMP.
Example:
My icons are 120x120 pixels but I want them to be 40x40
- CTRL + ALT + I using Photoshop - Save. Copy to SDCard
- Use 1x1 using Desktop Visualizer.
Other than that I'm not sure. I'm drunk though, but saw this thread and felt it needed an answer LOLOL!
I might have got the question wrong though, haha.
Well I'm drunk too and that seems like it makes sense.
thanks

Anybody know of a decent clock widge. I don't like the stock one. I am looking for something similar to the sense clock/weather widget on HTC devices.

I would suggest using Beautiful Widgets, available in the Market. I have been trying out some of their clock themes, they all look good in Honeycomb.
Yup, Beautiful Widgets is the way to go. It's very customizable. Here's how I have it setup (top middle)

Are you using launcher pro also?
Yes he is.
Hey guys.
I've been trying hard to look for an app that will block unwanted sms. The thing is, though, every app has an icon in the app drawer whether it is a decoy icon or not.
Can one be made that blocks sms that doesn't show up in the app drawer?
I could really use one.
Thanks.

Try this app. It works in my experience. I use a home replacement app (ADW EX) to keep icons I don't want out of my drawer...

Super thanks!!
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!
I use ADW EX as well... I just never bothered using the catalog thing. I like how the app has hidden mode. It's perfect!
Thanks again man!

I would like to see someone create a lockscreen that looks like an old rotary phone. Instead of numbers, it could have apps that open when you pull it around. Can anyone create this? It would be pretty cool.
If you use widget locker. You should post this on that thread it would get more attention
