How to use stock icons in Launcherpro? - Android Themes

Hey.
Launcherpro has the default grey icons. Well I want to know how I can use stock icons of phone, messaging, gmail, etc in the dock and not the grey icons?
Adwlauncher lets you do that, when you drag the icon and put it in the dock, but for Launcherpro it does not let you.....
Someone know how it is done?
Thanks.

Press and hold down on the icon you want to change. A box will come up and you can change the icon from there.

How do I put the green messaging icon in the launcherpro dock?

Long press on on the dock & change the shortcut, pick Messaging, default icon

Home screen shortcuts without a label

I would love a way of creating a shortcut on the home screen without the text label underneath the icon.
I am using the SMS Unread Count app and it can create widgets on the home screen without any text for the dialer, Messaging app and gmail. I want a link like that for the browser too.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Bump to see if anyone knows how?
The closest I came to this was using Bettercut to create a shortcut with a space in it. Though you still end up with a little grey bit underneath

[Q] Need Honeycomb app drawer icon

Does anyone have this icon (with the apps text and the + icon) for use with ADW Launcher? I'd really appreciate it.
EDIT:Nevermind, I made the icon myself .

Desktop visualizer launching app drawer/alternative

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.

[REQ] Widget Theme Set

I throw down a glove and give this challenge:
A theme which makes widgets and icons look like their holo shadows when being dragged across a stock-like ics/jb homescreen (apex and nova both have this too). I should probably clarify: when you are adding and moving a widget, the crosshairs appear in the background and as you drag the widget, a faint blue outline version of the widget appears in the position where the widget would snap to.
I would like a theme which makes the actual widget look like that.
Any takers?
This picture may roughly show the idea that I had in mind:
