Does Apex Launcher indeed have a DOCK? - Xoom Themes and Apps

Just what the title says...
I'm loving Apex Launcher for the Xoom (I'm on Team EOS nightly Wi fi)....
And I see that its new feature is its "customizable dock"....but I can't find the option anywhere??
Any help? thanks alot!

In tablet mode it automatically disables the dock.

Yep. Literally the only thing keeping me from swapping to nova on my Xoom.

I use Nova on my phone, never used Apex. I'll have to check it out.
One big thing for me would be adw theme support. Does Apex support those?

Yea I don't understand y there is nova or apex with scrobbable dock like adw.

I'm using Apex Launcher (pro) on my xoom as well and I do have an option to enable the dock. Just go to the settings menu and scroll down and uncheck hide dock. The dock should be there.

with a tablet I don't use the dock now, I just use it as it is,

Dock works fine on my eos nightly. Just enable it in settings!

Nova dock works on the Xoom fine. I don't use, but I checked it out. I do use it on my phone though.
Apex and Nova are basically mirrors of each other from what I have used of both of them. I prefer Nova basically because I bought the license so even though I like Apex, I stay with the Nova.

Nova Launcher on Xoom w/ ICS?

Now that ICS has come to the Xoom, has anyone tried installing Nova Launcher on it? Any issues to be aware of before trying it?
I really like it on my GNex and want to use it for both devices, if possible.

I think you're kinda wrong, at least for Nova. If you look in the settings for Nova, there are settings for a Dock. And when shown on other devices (Galaxy Nexus from what I've seen) there is a dock.
their is a dock just play round with it, will appear

I think what he meant was, that there was no dock on the xoom.

Can you be more descriptive? Have you gotten the dock to show on the Xoom?
Beta 13
Home screen transition animations => stack
Starts messing up the ability to use icons on the screen... clicking on icons makes the launcher think you are trying to turn pages...
"cube" works well...
Great launcher... looking forward to tablet specific and "pro" options...
Didn't work for me!!(nova)
I got it to work but it wants to push my wallpaper down about 1/4 of the screen
Try apex launcher....
Works awesome

I had a few minor problems with mine when I tried on cm9 it was like the apps became part of the background and would not move but I deleted and re installed without an issue. I prefer the stock cm9 just fine I only run it at 1.2 compared to the usual 1.5 its so smooth.

+1. I don't know what they could do to improve beyond Nova either. Trebuchet has a lot of work to do itself...
Much much much better than Nova!
It fits the Nexus S like a glove unlike Nova
I really like this launcher compared to Nova, but the deal breakers are:
* No ability to change icons
* Dock doesn't loop
Love the launcher tho just wish these features were present.

I'm with you here, I feel that Nova is an excellent improvement over the already good ICS launcher. The backup feature is brilliant for me.
I'll give this a try, there's always room in my life for more than one launcher
I need this for my trusty Gingerbread ROM.
Best launcher!

Smoother than Nova and Trebuchet for me.

Well if you want your lockscreen in landscape, I believe you have to change the LCD density in the build.prop to give it "tablet ui" which will also make the launcher landscape. hope this answers your question!
I threw Nova on immediately for the rotating homescreen. Works wonderful! And super fast of course!

ADW updated!!!!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

But at least it was worth the waiting.
Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...
