tnx for helping already

Use desktop visualizer. You can use an image as an icon and if you use lpp or adw you can resize it and have a stretched icon.
(I hope i'm not wrong, it's been a while i've used dv)

I'm assuming you add it as a widget. If so, hold your finger on the widget, an orange box will come up and you can stretch the bottom right corner up to the desirable size.

it depends where you want to place your icon. if its in the dock area then I believe those icons are set at a 72x72. Some people, I myself, do a dock with the text on it and then blank out the other icons with a long press and pick "change shortcut" then pick the "X". thats a more simple way of doing it. with this way you have 480x85 to play around with opposed to 72x72.
but, if you're using it as a widget then I will do what "nikosrs4" said.
I hope this helps you out.

I like the dock. How do I set the center icon to be the phone application without putting another icon on top of it? I'm not sure if the issue I'm having is clear. Basically, when I assign the center button to be a shortcut to the phone, it makes me choose an icon for it. The icon I choose lays on top of the phone icon that you have in your image file. How can I fix this?
i provided an blank icon that you can pick
I downloaded the BlueDock.zip file. In it, I see 3 Images:
BlueDock.png
BlueDock_nobutton.png
screenshot_2.png
I don't see any blank icon. Am I missing something?
Also, May I suggest that instead of using a blank icon, can the colorful phone Icon be provided seperately and used on top of the noicon image? That way when you scroll through docks, the phone Icon will scroll with the other icons. Also, this would give the option of not having the phone be the center Icon on every dock.
just noticed the first zip had the wrong file in it! added now!
Where u get that wallpaper?
Nice docks, I'm using the blue one now!

LauncherPro: Change dock icons size?

Hey guys,
i'm having a "problem" with launcherpro. Is there any possibility to change the size of the dock icons? I'm using the same icons as on the home screen but they are displayed smaller in the dock and i can't seem to change it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

LauncherPro resizes icons on the dock.
You can create a dock with your icons and use a transparent png.
But then i won't be able to use stuff like the new message counter right?

Well of course you'd be able to use it.. Why wouldn't you? :S
You do the exact same thing you normally do.
- Create a dock in Photoshop, like the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Apply it (Menu > Prefrences > Apperance settings > Dock background > Custom
- Add the shortcut you want (example) I want the app-drawer to show up when I press "APP launcher" on my dock
- So I long press "APP launcher" on my dock and choose appdrawer from Applications
- Choose custom icon and use a transparent PNG.
You don't lose any functionality. I don't see why you'd think that.
Thanks a bunch for the help!
What i ment was the positioning of the counter. It will be at the top right of the transparent.png and not on the top right of the custom docks logos. Thats what i meant. But i guess it should work fine
Thanks!
*edit*
Oh and one more thing. Is it possible to change the icon of a folder? Or is it only possible in the pro+ version?

Ahh, thank you.
In his post "Minimalistic Text Widget" was mentioned, but I thought nothing of it.
I was looking for a "clock" title of some sort.
Had no idea this widget would display time. lol
Thanks guys!
Now I don't know how to get the time like that.
: D
Choose layout > custom then in the editor go to time and choose the following:
Hour (12h) Static Text Minute (2 digits)
The static is under the "Misc" section in the editor and allows you to type in any text you want, for this instance I'm using it to display the colon ( : )
Let me know if you have any other questions!

I got as far as the clock part. Getting it in digital format.
It's the layout and size of everything that messes up.
When I try to make the time bigger, as shown in your screenshot, it ends up overlapping and cutting off the minutes.
Can you give me a rundown of exactly how you did yours? D: thanks.
NVM I got it. :]
Took like 10 minutes lol.
Had to use two different sized widgets to do it. align it, set each field, etc.

Honeycomb Drawer Icon 3 Parts

I just wanted to share this three part Honeycomb style icon(s). I use it with ADW Launcher, but you may be able to use it w/ Launcher Pro (I don't know if it lets you use 3 icons all linking to the app drawer like ADW does).
this is the new look. I made an icon for the dialer; I had tried a few but a lot of them were too tall to fit well with a lot of the cool dock backgrounds that were added to the Honeycomb ADW theme (without being resized really small), so I made a dialer icon to match the height of the apps+ button.
here you go:
this is the (new) look for the dock will be achieved:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
matching dialer icon:
for the remaining icon in between, i just used a blank (completely transparent) .png file so it wouldn't have the little "+" plus sign in between
I linked this icon to the dialer as well, so if you press anywhere on the left side of the dock it goes to the dialer and anywhere on the right it goes to the app drawer. this worked out nicely. i actually like this interface better than stock and i changed it for aesthetic purposes only.
this is the old/alternate version without the dialer if you like the centered look
(they are white w/ a transparent background so they don't show up well on this page, but they are there)
Pt 1
Pt 2
Pt 3
P.S.
here are 2 other misc icons i made to go w/ the Honeycomb theme
Well done. Thank you.
Thanks mate!!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
updated
added matching dialer icon + instructions
Can you also link that dock if possible? Thanks!
it is one of the included dock backgrounds in the free honeycomb adw theme in the market. i can try to post it tommorrow if you just want the image.
Thanks for the tip, I was able to extract it from the apk !
great. i didn't want to post them, since i don't want to share somebody else's property w/o permission. this is my first thread and I am kinda sketch about that kinda thing.
cheers! i was looking for a good app drawer icon..
your welcome i plan to add some more stuff when i get the time

One way to make App Drawer appear "Off Center" in Nova Launcher.

Ok, it's a little crude and you loose the labels, but it is simple and no need for any programming or special skills.
So, my Tab 2 P3100 is now running CyanogenMod 12.1 with Nova Launcher and Theme is Black Accent.
In Nova you can't rearrange the icons in the App Drawer in so many ways.
This is a way to be a liitle more creative.
You need an Icon pack that gives you the option to not have an icon at all.
In my case it's Lines.
However, I want other icons, so I also have Monoic.
You also need a number of apps that you never will use.
How it looks in my Tab:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ordinary Lock Screen
..................................................
Left Home Screen.......Middle(default).......Right Home Screen
As you can see my Home Screens are off center to the right, but that is easy since Nova let's you place the icons how ever you want.
So I chose an app grid with 1 extra unused column. I can have labels here, but I don't want to.
....................
Drawer coming up...........Up
To get the same look and keep the icons from the red lines I need an extra column here too.
But Nova will put icons there. And in alphabetical order...
I have renamed apps that I don't use or need and with Lines Icon Pack they got an empty space instead of an image.
In the last row I made one more app "invisible" to center the icons under the others.
Later I may add 2 usable apps to get a full bottom row.
Depending on widgets and number of apps and also the background image, it takes some trial'n'error to find
what app grid you need.
You might even need to install some small garbage app just to make it invisible :laugh:
Edit:
Another way to use the drawer with hidden icons is probably covered somewhere, but if you have your ordinary drawer, apps'n'all...
You can take a screenshot and use that as background (but now your home screen is affected).
Make all icons hidden and you get a transparent "activation sheet" that needs to be pulled upp to use the apps you see in the background.
