Running maximus I'm pretty stock. I dislike all the different styled app icons and want them all in the same format. (Read all the same height, width and border radius.)
Using a home replacement doesn't change the drawer app icons so that's a no go. I have virtuous ten studio and all prerequisites installed.
So my question where do I change the rule that some themes apply to change the general look and if I totally change an app icon with vtstudio will this change still be applied after an update?
Regards
FYI I'm running Nova Prime and can confirm with 100% certainty that all icons get changed when you apply an icon pack. You can also change an apps icon individually on the home screens..

Hi is there a app or setting to change the icon and Widget spacing? Iwant to put them closer, there is so much space wasted.
Many third party launchers such as launcher pro or adw allow you to adjust the amount of columns and rows used allowing you to add more icons.

how about an edit so you don't have to run another app
I would think there would be a configuration file with spacing in it that you could edit so you don't have to run another app. There are a lot of good launcher apps but the only thing I don't like about the home screen is the spacing and don't want to have to have another app running just to resolve that.
What rom are you running? If you are rooted there are roms that have stock but only icons spacing changed. Can't find post right now. If you aren't rooted you'll need to write to HTC to change their launcher.

Installed CM7 on my DX yesterday, everything is working great except themes. No matter what theme I try the dock icons only change color. The themes show dock icons matching that theme but my phone only changes the color of the dock icons.
Am I missing something?
did you reboot atfer applying?
Yes I restarted. Everything else looks as it should for the theme. the notification text and icons change, the app icons change as well. Everything looks good except for the dock which isn't changing looks, just color.
What launcher are you using? If you can, remove the shortcuts from the dock and put new ones up. Mine does not change the dock icons either unless I remove and replace.

use launcher pro ..you can get it from the market..it automatically gives frames to the icons wen you click it..or MIUI rom gives permanent frames..more like the apple iphone icons!
U could do that with lp? I never found that but please report back how.
I currently use go launcher that, if u use an icon theme like classic or suave (which I highly raccomend), does just that to all the icons that are not supported by the theme directly.
It's actually a really good launcher but my favorite remains lp.
How do I correctly apply a custom theme? I'm running CM7, and I downloaded the Honeybread theme. When I want to use it I select it with the CM Theme Chooser, and after the reboot it only changed the icons and stuff. I would like to have the 'app bar', at the bottom of every homescreen, to be changed to the one from the theme. How do I fix this?
Go to settings > adw settings and you can change the dock in themes. The cm7 theme chooser only effects icons and status bar as well as a few apps menus.

Thanks for your help, but the in the ADW settings I can only choose the ADW.Default theme. Where do I have to place my theme apk files?
Excuse me, found out that there are special ADW themes. Thanks!
Excerpt from same question asked by me
itsbeertimenow said:
Question: how do I set the dock bar to use downloaded dock bars instead of the adw dock bar? When I set it to no icons it takes away the dock bar and when I set it to anything else the dock bar displays the slots for the launcher icons to go in as + signs .... confused.

,Im using adw ex launcher but think its similar to adw.
1. Adw settings / theme Preferences / Main dock / Custom / adw dock catalog
2 Choose your dock / goto Ui settings/main dock/main dock style select example 3 icons.
3.Now goto homescreen longpress icon in dock choose edit click icon select picture and select adw docks catalog choose your dock again voila its gone....and you have a clean dock.....hope it makes sense.....

That's pretty helpfull too, thankksss!
Huh, I'm trying some themes now, but when I change the theme, actually only the background changes, including some icons. I've selected the option to Use theme icons. When I drag the statusbar down, the wifi widgets etc have a strange white glow wich won't dissapear and the place down under those widgets has an opacity of like 20%. I guess this is a setting from the theme, but how do I change this?
Edit: The icons aren't changing too, just like the battery and wifi indicator. The only thing that changes when I change my theme is the background.
Juist noticed that the dock image is changing too.
Maybe Theme Chooser App which is preinstalled?

doh. Didn't try that because I should use ADW to change my theme But that worked, thanks again!
Currenly using ARHD along with Nova Launcher as I like a bit of desktop customisation and more features.
That being said, I have liked Sense since 5 was released a few years back, I even liked Sense 4 but looking back the UI seemed a bit too cartoonish. Good in the day I guess!!
Curious to know what other folks do when it comes to using Sense 6, are they using the native launcher or going for a thirdy party launcher to get that additional customisation.
Reason I'm using Nova is the option to install icon packs, assign individual icons per app, change grid dimensions, icon sizes etc.
Is any of this possible with the latest Sense launcher by use of mods?
Thanks.

Xposed module Xtended Settings.. With that, u can do ALL of the above to the BlinkFeed launcher and then some. It's basically Xgels for Sense but with way more options ... Give it a go, it honestly makes BlinkFeed just as customizable as Nova, and even more... Theme status bar, softkeys (if u use them) , animations , etc.

It can change icons individually, for example I could set icons for the dock and differents icons on the desktop area? Resize them?
Thanks.

Nope,not currently. As of right now, just different icon packs, not individual icons. However,if u use wizardcut, u can do that on any launcher, including BlinkFeed... Not only that, but u can also layer and mix and match different icons together(for example, u can move 1 icon on top of the background of another icon to create a new icon) or just assign individual icons to individual apps n it sets them on your launcher... Good app on play store... Also ,desktop visualizer does this.
