Hey guys, I have a general question about home screen icons.
I want be able to add large icons (application shortcuts to be exact) to my desktop. I'm on ADW launcher, and know where the option is to change the icon size under the New Icons menu. However, changing the size here affects all my desktop icons. I just want a few larger, not all of them.
I've tried Multicon which does allow icon resizing, but resizing the icons makes them blurred and a little pixelated. I've also tried desktop visualizer.
So my question is: is there any way to resize a home screen icon without affecting the size of all the home screen icons?

I'm pretty sure Desktop Visualizer should be able to do this. I know with widgets you can do this and I'm sure with icons because I've changed the size of my icon. Oh and you have to create the icon at least bigger than 72x72 in order for it not to be pixelated or blurry. Other than that I'm not sure. sorry.
I got it. There is an option to download add-ons for Desktop Visualizer. It's called DVRsizeconfigtool. Thanks man.

Has anyone tried to decrease the size of the app drawer by about half? The reason I ask is because with advanced launcher I only have 2 rows of icons and don't really need the black space. Optimally I would like it to end just above the first 2 rows of icons, mainly because a lot of people use the flip clock widget which would make it still visible with the app drawer up.
No one knows how if this is even possible.
I am trying to figure out the max size of a home screen block, like one were a Icon would be. Or on this case, a widget. I an trying to make custom images that but up against each other using desktop visualizer app. so how big is a 1x1 square?
When I use the HD Icon set, or any set of big icons, LauncherPro on my EVO (running MIUI 11.19) shrinks the icons down. Instead of looking like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9340064&postcount=11116 the icons are much smaller. Help?
You need desktop visualizer to change the size

Hello, I've been working on a Tron Legacy styled theme for my for for some time now. I am using Go Launcher Ex. I have most of it set as I'd like it, but I am working on one last thing for the time being. I am using Widgetlocker for my lock screen and would like to use Desktop Visualizer to add to it icon widgets in the following style: https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsIm14LmxwaWNvbnBhY2sudHJvbmxlZ2FjeSJd
Unfortunately, this icon pack does not seem to work with Desktop Visualizer and the icons that come with the Go Launcher version of these icons do not work with DVR either.
What I am asking is if anyone knows of an Icon pack in this visual style that would match this style/color? If not would anyone be willing to create an icon pack that matches this, that would work with DVR? I would be more than willing to even pay for an icon pack in this style that would work with DVR.
Thanks for any info provided.
So, I've got a desktop full of images that I use as icons through the use of Desktop Visualizer. My whole screen (apart from dock) is filled with these images and I kind of wanted to get rid of the dock and replace it with one of these icons.
I found a solution to making the dock disappear through the use of ADW Launcher which allows you to hide the dock. It's not ideal since I would've preferred to use Nova Launcher (I'm on CM9 and I love Nova Launcher) but it has no option to hide/disable the dock (in fact, ADW Launcher is the only launcher that I've found with this option).
Anyway, now that the dock is gone, I can use it for widgets (which is basically how Desktop Visualizer works) however Desktop Visualizer does not allow you map "App Drawer" as an action. So basically all this effort has been for nothing unless I can find a way to map the icon to App Drawer.
Another thing I considered was a launcher/dock that allowed you to use custom sized icons for actions (most launchers only allow you select a certain sized icon to replace the default) but I couldn't find anything.
I've tried to search both XDA and Google but couldn't find anything useful.
TL;DR - Need Desktop Visualizer alternative or a way to map one of the widgets to act as app drawer icon.
Thanks in advance.
I need help with this too. Any ideas?
The only way I managed to do this in the past was to use a normal icon and the widget, and overlap them. (In ADW settings there is the option to allow overlapping.)
First insert the app drawer icon (Press hold > launcher actions > Open/Close app Drawer)
Insert your Desktop Visualizer widget, select the icon image, and set the action to none. Then press and hold on it, and using the re-size arrows drag it under the app drawer icon.
Finally press and hold on the app drawer icon, and change the icon to a transparent (empty) image.
You have to insert the app drawer icon first, as that makes it on top.
Its a pretty crude way of doing it, but I don't think there is another way, although I would happily be corrected if there is!
Or you could possibly just put the icon on your wallpaper then use a transparent icon.
In that way, you could have many possibilities in theming your desktop.
