Hey guys a quick tutorial on how to create "hubs" using two launchers. This was not my idea and credit goes to user "Duhhh"
Here's a visual explanation:
My current homescreen (launcher 7)
{
"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"
}
Clicking on the Music tile would bring me to my "Music Hub":
This can also be used to create a "games hub"
"Duhh"
there is nothing special,i use photoshop to make background of games,then in luncher pro set this wallpaper using "multipicture live wallpaper" and add widgets "Desktop Visualizer '' with transperant icons and shortcuts to games.In luncher 7 add widget "Desktop Visualizer '' with icon of Xbox and select action > Other > Activities > LauncherPro
that's all
my en is not so good hope to understand me

So there you have it. The hubs can work on any mix of launchers and not isolated to 7launcher alone. I provided three "Music Hubs" (courtesy of amucinom) to get you started

hi guys,
i would like to ask if anyone knows the way to change the twGTGLauncher icon for the 'apps'. i'm able to change any icons, only the 'apps ' icon couldn't .
please guide,
regards
download an app called 'desktop visualizer' its free in the market. then look in the apps and themes section for an icon pack... there are loads to choose from depending on your theme. then when you have that you can customise your icons to your liking. or even make your own if you know how to.
bro, still unable to change the 'apps' particular icon.
oh i see what you mean, the actual app drawer button...... im had the same issue. i dont think its possible on the TWLauncher. i can modify it on the launcher pro thats a good launcher IMO
it is possible see this picture...
you need to get the de-odexed twlauncher from another thread here and be rooted and replace the .png using 7zip and replace file in /system/app

Oh wicked.... that looks well cool do you think it will work with Launcher Pro ??
So I'm using Illest Icons2, and the icon for the default MIUI camera app is really nice, but I don't use that app.
I use Vignette and there's not a custom icon for that app.
How would I go about changing the mtz to set the icon for the default camera, to Vignette, so I can have it on the homescreen without it looking out of place?

Steps 1 through 4 can be avoided if you just review the icons in
/data/system/customized_icons_1/
essentially all non-themed apps have an icon present in here.
Sorry to ring a dead topic back to life, but would this also apply to replacing one non-themed icon with a themed one? Like the Opera mini app with the stock browser's icon...
With Photoshop or like program, creating your custom dock like folders or anything you want can be achieved without using third party apps. Remember that it will be 480pxl wide.

Start your Photo Editing program. I use Photoshop CS4 Extended. Using the rounded rectangle tool (for folder dock) create and duplicate layers. With layers > arrange > send to back. Save it and name it anything you want. Trial and error for the icon alignments.
Or just a flat image/design, just create texts for your apps, even icon image. You can also set the transparency.
Now create a transparent icon by clicking "New" set it to let's say 90X90, with "transparent" in background contents.
With some launchers that can modify the dock, just select/browse the one you created. Then, by replacing the icon, select/browse the "transparent icon" you made.
With ADW Launcher (Stock CM), you must "Hide AB Bg" and uncheck "Wallpaper Scrolling". The dock will be pasted with the wallpaper of your choice (960X800, bottom-centered).
I made a zip and a PSD included to get you started. It has the folder dock (ready to use), the template, the PSD, invisible icon.
wow cool ! i like it minimal!
This is what i'm looking for
Thanks
