Anyone know if there's a way to get squared-off icons, like those in the MIUI rom's, while sticking with CM6.x? I know I could use an iPhone-theme with ADW launcher, but I don't want iOS on my N1- just the square icons
I also know I can do each app one-by-one with Better Cut but really don't want to go that long, complicated route...
Thanks
Using the TouchWiz launcher?

I second this, maybe a mod for LauncherPro or something?

OK, I know right off the bat that this is a dumb question, but I just can't figure out what the big deal about Espresso is. I've searched many, many times, but that just brings up people asking how to install it.
What I'm curious about is what's the big deal? What does Espresso bring to the table? Functionally, not cosmetically, why would I want Espresso on my phone?
Because if it's just a cosmetic change, people surely wouldn't be cluttering up threads so much asking about it, right?
It brings nothing but a newer looking Rosie Bar. I for one cant stand it and would prefer the stock Rosie to Espresso. Ive also grown to like the Droid Launcher...

OK, thanks.
That's pretty much what I thought, but so many people seem so very, very eager to get it within 10 seconds of a new rom release, I thought maybe it might add some actual functionality.
But if it's just the cosmetic change, then I agree, it's butt-ugly. Stock Rosie looks much better. Haven't tried out the Droid launcher yet, I'll give it a look. Gotta say though, I'm not sure about ditching Sense. It's not so much Sense itself I'm attached to, but some of the widgets that depend on it....
I for one think any variation of rosie is ugly, I prefer nexus launcher. I also liked launcher2, with the app dock. That sinistermashes dudes idea for a dock as a launcher was a kewl idea. Conservative and intuitive.

Neither the Droid Launcher or Espresso themes ditch Sense. They just change the look of the launcher bars at the bottom of the screen. All the Sense features and widgets still work fine with either of them.
I like the stock rosie or the nexus launcher, at least those tell you which screen you're on. The expresso doesn't and it's big... too much space taken up.
I don't get what the big deal is.

I'll check it out. As I said, I'm not attached to sense, I just can't bring myself to get rid of a few of the widgets that rely on it.
That said, from a cosmetic point of view, I think Espresso is going about 10 years backwards from a UI design point of view. I also think the stock, Google developed Android launcher belongs somewhere in the Windows 3.1 league.....
Then again, I also don't understand why people give a crap about the lockscreen. I always just do a quick double click on the menu button and never see it in the first place.
Maybe I'm just not the target audience for these particular tweaks....

Id give up sense in a heartbeat if i could find a bookmark widget and email widget as nice as senses. And the full weather animations too.
I hear beatiful widgets has animations? Same level as 2.1?
Hey all,
Recently saw the thread about peoples home screens and saw some really nice ones.
I have a question though about launcher pro and I can't find any tutorials or solutions for it online.
In short when using launcher pro it gives you a default of 5 shortcuts on the dock for each screen (maximum of 7 screens I think)
I've seen some setups where people have replaced the shortcut image with a word (ie messages, phone, internet)
I want to do this but everytime I try to change the image for a word it shrinks it down to a set size to fit in with the 4 other shortcuts on the dock, I'd like to do it so the word takes up the space of two shortcuts.
Basically I want it to look like the dock at the bottom of this one:
img40.imageshack.us/img40/3710/snap20100911025522.png
(sorry couldn't make it a link and post)
Or at least similar, does anyone know how to do this? I'm using Launcher pro, would I need Launcher pro plus?
Thanks!

You don't need launcherpro plus but what you do need is that exact launch bar or you need to make one yourself. The way that look was achieved is that there are no actual visible icons on that bar, instead they made a .png of a bar with the text where they wanted the icons to be and then used transparent icons to actually place the shortcuts. I believe SonnySekhon has a bunch of docks like that in his theme thread and you can pick and choose one. If you can't find a transparent icon, I'll post one later but I'm getting ready to leave in a few minutes so I can't do it now.

Here is a little something special from me, i think it will help you in re-creating that home screen, its an invisible icon. Just run your mouse over it to see exactly where the pic is. Its hard to see cause its invisible . Plus a drawer icon incase you want it.
I really like it, nice look.

Hi there,
I want my app draw to be transparent, like in the LiamStears mod - however I don't want any of the other extras (alternate icons, 5 columns, etc) that comes with it.
Is there any mod available that could just do this?
Thanks,
Alex

In adw launcher there is an option to customize the background colour, you can change the opacity all the way down to make it transparent. I didn't see it in launcherpro but I might have missed it or it might be a launcherpro plus only feature.

It's the last video from the review and you can see his Homescreen at about 0:33
I've been looking all over the internet for 3 days. XDA is my last hope to find out.
Thanks!
From the looks of it, it looks like a regular stock SGS2 launcher. I compared it against other reviews and it looks similar. I watched the video some more and noticed a few things that reminds me a lot of ADW launcher. Like for instance, when he swiped up, it opened the app drawer. ADW Launcher has that feature. When I looked at his dock bar, it didn't look like a regular dock bar and possibly had a hidden one. ADW Launcher has that feature as well.
But, my conclusion is it is a regular stock SGS2 launcher. You can still find similarities to it by using ADW Launcher.

Oh, you just want the thin icons like in the video? Have you checked through your Settings menu for anything relating to home docks and launcher?
My co-worker has a SGS2 and I could probably check his phone and see if such feature like that exist.
If not, then I don't know what will allow you to have thin icons like that and whatnot. Best thing to do is check through all your settings.

I guess you mean the clustered homescreen? Its ADW. And it looks like there isn't a theme applied. They're all stock icons, but tgeyre cut off because there's so many columns.

Hi there, does anybody know if a Straight Rosie Bar "Dock" exists for the Sensation Xl ??
Have scoured the forums but to no avail, i was hoping someone would have made one.

sounds more likely to be a launcher replacement then actual Rosie Release

Try something like ADW Launcher, Go Launcher, Launcher PRO etc. from the market. many of them have themes which are extremely close to Sense, but using various different docks at the bottom.
