Launcher Pro Dock config - Nexus S Themes and Apps

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.

Isnt that the launcher from systemforce or specforce theme? looks similar.
the clock is not in it.i did not like the clock in the nexus dump so i made my nexus clock and the launcher i made i will have to look up systemforce or specforce theme.
added a morph with just the clock and looked at systemforce don't look like it at all and don't see specforce or any thing like it.

LMAO @ Those responses
Sweet!!!!
nice i like it! looks like you have a few metamorphs, would it be possible if you could put them all in one thread so that they are all easily accessible. it would also decrease the clutter of metamorphs in the theme section. just a suggestion.
is the settings widget included too?
Can we get advanced launcher support?

metamorph will replace the images in whatever you have as Launcher.apk in /system/app/ if that is the Advanced Launcher, then you have Advanced Launcher support.
I was joking guys ,no launcher looks like his.

kron i have a question. The clock on my phone looks a bit like the screenshots you posted, some grany lines separating the shades of grey.
But checking inside the metamorph file on the pc the clock dial file looks perfect.
Is it the low resolution of my phone?

Lets see those home screenshots!

I will post mine later, need my home computer to get some of my old items on but I plan on trying to build out a new icon set over the weekend for this.
Man, the Space Shuttle built in picture is awesome.

thanks to koush
Basically I brought over a similar theme design from my HTC Desire. Still tweaking the dock icon fonts and wall paper. It's a work in progress.
Nexus S is my first android phone. Everyone's got amazing screens. How do i get one of these? All the help and suggestions are highly appreciated.
This is where I started, great for seeing many of the different widgets available to you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761517
Wallpaper you just need to search around but wallbase.net has been my go to.
Finally, to change dock icons and various other things, I use Launcher Pro, you can get it in the market. My dock icons I made myself.

welcome to the android community
in a nutshell...read, everything you need to know is in this forum. you can do slight modifications with new launchers (adw or launcher pro) but to really make significant changes (complete themes, fonts,etc) you will need to root. (needed to do screen captures as well)

[Q] Transparent app drawer?

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.

Show off your tablet

hey, opening this thread to see how your desktop looks.
its less about style, but more about functionality. phones don't count
I am not at home, so will add my shot later.
if you got something special, explain right ahead, since someone will ask anyway, so we keep the talk low and the info high.
Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
I think most people use

to show their screens. I do wish everyone would list the launcher/apps/widgets that they are using.
Maybe you had something different in mind?

[Q] What is this Theme/Launcher?

Does anybody know what is the Theme/Launcher the guys is using?
slashgear.com/apple-iphone-4s-a5-processor-vs-1-5-ghz-dual-core-galaxy-s-ii-in-browser-tests-video-12187504/
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.
