Since there aren't many themes out right now and a lot of themes have undesired features to some users, I personally prefer to choose application icons individually.
This is where Desktop Visualizer comes in. The app allows you to set a custom icon, or picture, for an app or activity to your homescreen (it does not change the icon in the launcher) and also the ability to change the app label and style.
You can create a variety of different sized widgets or create a shortcut from Desktop Visualizer within the launcher.
By setting the app as a widget it will remove the 'box' that Espresso puts around apps, but setting the shortcut from Desktop Visualizer in the launcher will keep the app icon within that box.
The app provides a very simple way to help you further customize your homescreen to your likings.
Here is a screenshot to show how the different ways Desktop Visualizer makes the shortcuts:
The DropBox icon is the '1x1 small widget', the Facebook is the '1x1 small ss', and the BestBuy is set from the Desktop Visualizer app (not as a widget, so it still has the box). I put DoodleJump there to give a comparison to a stock icon. Icons are from the HD Icon Pack (link below)

Just edited the picture links, they should be ok now. Thanks for the heads up.
Nice find. Took boxes away from all the apps. Gives more of a stock feel. Wish could change app icons to that of vanilla icons tho
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I'd liketo understand how to create an icon pack:
every time I flash a new rom, I've to reconfigure every widget. I make large use of Desktop Visualizer for this... and it's a pain to setup it back again...
also helps you get that WP7 look and feel
desktop visualizer suddenly does not work anymore...
suddenly I cannot set own widgets anymore- just tiny little shortcuts.
When trying to set a widget and have chosen the applications and the imagefile it just says something like " could set shotcurt or widget." and nothing happens.. I tried it with different images and widgets sizes nothing went anymore. I used it until now without any problems- does somebody experienced the same?
Solved: don't know why- but just happens when I use ES Datei Explorer!!!
Thanks for sharing. I will try it. ;D

I know this is an issue with many apps but is there a way to get all widget options to show up. I'm trying to add a normally available widget using DV just to remove the label. The problem is when I go to add>Other, the widget isn't in the list.

UPDATED TUTORIAL
[/CENTER]
The general idea of "Hubs" is to create a dedicated screen for each piece of media/productivity while providing a visual eye candy. "Hubs" is easy to emulate, and even easier to create your own style. Despite the lengthy tutorial, its actually easier than it seems. The fun part comes with setting up you layout!
What you'll need:
Main
Adw Launcer EX
Launcher Pro Plus
Multi Live Wallpaper
Minimalistic Text
Simple Text
Optional
Pulse (for widgets)
Cowon Clock/ BobClock Widget
Mizuu Movies
Launcher Pro Plus (Widgets)
Video Tutorial
Part I
Part II
FINAL
WALKTHROUGHADW Launcher Users[/U][/B]
-To remove top bar-Press and hold and empty area on your home screen then click on "Launcher Actions" > "Hide/Show Action Bars"
-Enable Widget Overlapping-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Check "Overlap Widgets" in the Advanced Settings Tab
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Increase the desktop "Rows" and "Columns" in the "Desktop Layout" Tab.
Launcher Pro Plus Users- while not optimized for 3.2, it still runs perfect.
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "Preference" > "Homescreen Settings" > Increase the "Number of columns/rows" in the Homescreen Grid.
-Remove Icons From Right Dock- Hold your finger on the icon you wish to remove> "change shortcut"> "Blank"
*You may add screen transitions for each launcher if you wish, however my advise is to leave it at default as you can set transition for Multi Live wallpaper. Doing both launcher and MLW will make your screen look "too busy" IMO.
To set the "Bars" (Titles for "Home", "Music", "Movies" etc.)
Minimalistic Text
-To set title- Press and hold a free space on the screen > "widgets" > "Minimalistic Text" (size may vary per style however I use either 4x2 or 6x1 as long as its horizontal > ensure that "background color" is checked > "Predefined Layout" > "Custom" > "Custom Layout" > Click on the plus sign > "Misc" > "Static Text".
-Black Bar Tutorial click here
Wallpapers
-Set up - Load up your wallpapers on your sd card/internal memory and placing them into seperate folders and name them based on the images (ex. Music, Movies, Games etc)
- Long press an empty screen on your homescreen > "Wallpapers" > "Live Wallpapers"> "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"> "Settings"
- For each "Screen _ Settings" Select the picture source as "Picture Folder" and navigate it to point to your corresponding homescreen.
- Additionally you make select the screen transition here that reflects your particular taste. You may also set a default wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Despite the dozen of widget on the homescreen and live wallpaper, battery use is minimal.I have provided wallpapers below to help you get started.
NAVIGATING BETWEEN HUBS
There are two methods in which you can navigate to each individual homescreen.
Method one: Prior/Alternate way for navigation text was achieved using this methodby trekkie0927. Using invisible icons in tandem with minimalistic text can make it easier to flip to each hubs. Please rate/comment his video.
Method two: I found a great alternative to Minimalistic Text in terms of using the text buttons to jump from one screen to another called Simple Text. Since it's only an icon and not a widget, it consumes no memory and provides a great minimal look.
User AcIdC0R3 has posted a great tutorial. (Please thank him!)
Make sure you have ADWLauncher EX
Go to the market and install Simple Text
Long press on the screen and select 'Custom Shortcut'
'Pick your activity', select 'Launcher Actions'
Choose which screen you want, 1 - 5 or 1 - 7 if your using seven screens
Click on the picture of the 2 screens side by side
Select 'ADWTheme IconPacks' and select 'Simple Text'
Select the grey box named 'Simple'
replace the word 'Simple' with whatever of your choosing like 'Video' for your video hub or 'Social' for your social media hub and so forth
Adjust your text size, Y and X coordinates, your shadow settings etc.
Click the little blue 'A' in the top right side of the screen and select your font (more on fonts further down)
You also have the option to select the color wheel next to the 'A' and adjust your text color
Select the menu icon on the task bar at the bottom and select 'Save Style' if you want to keep what you created for later use as well.
Click 'Save Icon' which will create your icon for you
Back at the black edit screen remove the text from the text field and click OK
You should now have a custom text icon that will activate whichever screen you chose for it. You can click any app icon on your screen and follow the same procedure for your apps so all your apps also have text icons.
[FONTS] In a file manager go to /sdcard/Simple Text/ and create a folder named 'fonts' (that is plural with an 's' at the end). Next go to somewhere like dafont.com and download you some kewl fonts and place them within that 'fonts' directory you just created. Now when you go into Simple Text to do your editing you will have more fonts to choose from.
That's all there is to it.
You can also work with layers within the creation of your Simple Text. Notice below where I created a new layer, rotated my new text layer and intersected where both words have the letter 'E'.
However you may notice that simple text does have it's limitations:
Icons can only be 1x1
Works best on adw
No way to resize; it is only an icon after all.
Miscellaneous
ISSUE: You may experience widget being placed "behind" the black bars. If so try this method provided by user SwiftLegend
1. Put the widgets/icons you want on TOP of the blackbar FIRST. You need these before anything.
2. Select a Minimalistic Text Widget, I usually use 1x1. Clear out the text options (Predefined layout > Custom, delete all of the things there)
3. Once you're back at your homescreen and see the MT Widget, just long press and re size it to your liking.
You HAVE to make sure that whatever you want on TOP of the blackbar is put on the screen FIRST. Anything put on after will go underneath.
ISSUE 2: Users have reported that Minimalistic Widget refuses to post/ show up on the homescreen.
1. Turn your tablet into portrait mode.
2. Add the widget whilst staying in portrait mode as you apply you designs.
3. Rotate back to landscape.
ISSUE 3: You can no longer take full advantage of the screen real estate using adw ex (particularly the corners)
1. Recent update kills the use of every inch of the screen. In his attempt to emulate ICS, anderwebs made the edges of the screen inaccessible.
2. Revert back to an older version (1.3.3)

One quick question...which launcher are you using? Is it just the default ADW without a dockbar?
adw ex. with no transitions as it lags a bit and looks less impressive (imo) on a larger screen.
What's the main widget on your Home screen?
Great work man. Seconding the question about your home screen widget. (The one with the weather and the time etc)
combination of minimalistic text, digital clock widget (by maize) and beautiful widget. Photo is "photo widget"
Cool, can you tell us how you got it to all look like one widget? My beautiful widgets and photo widget don't have the same background, so they don't look like they're all under the same "bar".
Also what are the widgets on your games screen? One looks like it's for xbox live and the featured widget at the bottom looks interesting.
This is an awesome idea. I set mine up with launcher pro and the text widget. I used the wipe effect for the wallpapers and I am quite happy with it.
Sent from my NookColor
What exactly is your number of columns and rows set to in the adw settings?
im using 10x10.
again those bars are minimalistic text with background and overlapped over icon/widgets
Ahh, ok regular adw launcher doesn't do overlap.
Can you tell us what those widgets on your games pages are?
Yes. Sorry I should've been more specific. I used adw launcher EX. Games sections is minimalistic text and my Xbox gamercard is spark 360
Anyone else having problems getting the images to change when you scroll to differnt screens? No matter what directory i set it to I just get a message "Picture not avail. Need to setup or reload". I have added five screens in the settings but it always stays on screen 3 when I scroll through the five that I have. Any specific setting you all are using?
You can run into issues with different launchers and settings like "Enable wallpaper scroll". All I can tell you is that adw.launcher seems to be the most compatible of the free launchers that I've tested out with Multipicture.
If you're on adw, try toggling the wallpaper scroll setting ad restarting your launcher.

How to make the Naturally Android home screen

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
With its subdued simplicity, Naturally Android won over plenty of fans -- and won its designer a nice new Nexus 7 tablet. So how's it made?
Creator Joe Rochinski said his main goal was to create something that was both simple and visually striking.
"I've never liked the look of home screens packed full of widgets and mismatched icons," Rochinski says. "There's an app drawer to house all your app shortcuts, so let's leave them in there!"
Rochinski found his background on DeviantArt.com. He then used an app called Wallpaper Wizardii to scale and position it just the way he wanted.
Nova Launcher Prime, a popular custom Android launcher, allowed Rochinski to eliminate extra home screen panels and also remove the separator line between the Favorites Tray and the rest of the screen. Nova also made it easy for him to swap out the icons to his own custom creations.
Speaking of those icons, Rochinski relied on an app called Simple Text to build them along with his custom app drawer button. He used Minimalistic Text, meanwhile, to make the clock and weather widgets.
"You don't need to be an expert programmer to get a similar look on your own phone," Rochinski says. "I hope this theme will inspire others to try their hand at their own home screen and make some more beautiful designs where less is more."

How to make The Explorer home screen
Greg Wright's Explorer home screen got lots of attention, and for good reason. Wright's creation is actually even cooler than you might realize, as many of the visual elements are interactive: Tapping the compass opens Google Now; tapping the caliper toggles the notification bar; tapping the lion at the bottom of the map opens a folder of frequent apps; and tapping the date at the top opens the system clock. The paper scroll at the bottom-left, meanwhile, shows a dynamic representation of the phone's current battery level.
Like the last setup, Wright's home screen uses Nova Launcher Prime to accomplish some of its magic. The wallpaper comes from Wallbase.cc; the widgets for the date, time, and battery level were all made using the Ultimate Custom Widget (UCCW) application along with a font called FoglihtenNo06 (Google it and you'll find several sites offering free downloads.
As for the interactive functions, Wright used Nova Launcher to create shortcuts on the spots he wanted and then set their icons to be blank images. That makes it seem like you're tapping the actual map instead of a regular app shortcut.

How to make the Organizus Optimus home screen
Like Amirul Farhan's eye-catching creation? You aren't alone.
Farhan built the setup using Apex Launcher, an alternative to Nova with many similar features (either app could really work for any of these configurations). Within the launcher's settings, he set the home screen grid to 9x5 and four panels.
He then created a custom set of wallpapers, one for each panel. He uses an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper in order to have each panel display a different background.
That's where things get a little more complicated. I'll let Farhan explain it:
Start on the first homescreen. Using Apex action, place an app drawer shortcut on the square icon (at picture's bottom right corner).
Next, using Apex action as well, place the shortcut to screen 2, screen 3, and screen 4 on the star icon, ribbon icon, and the conversation bubble icon, respectively. Repeat this step on screen 2, screen 3, and screen 4.
This is the tricky part: hiding the icon we placed earlier to make it blend with the wallpaper. You need a blank icon, easily downloadable from the Internet. Note that although you cannot see this icon in gallery, it's there. Long-press the shortcuts placed earlier, and replace the icons with the blank icon.
Got all that? Good. From there, Farhan used a series of widgets and icons to accomplish his effects. They include:
• Minimalistic Text Widget with a font called Billabong for the titles at the top of each panel.
• Eye in Sky Weather for the forecast on the "Weather and Status" screen and Widgetsoid for the power bar at the bottom of that panel.
• Icons from Minimal MIUI Go Apex Theme for the shortcuts to the apps on the "Leisure" screen and Minimal Reader for the headlines at the bottom of that panel.
• Brilliant Quotes for the rotating quotes at the bottom of the "Work and Productivity" panel.
• Android Pro Widgets for the social widgets on the "Social Circle" panel.

How to make the Robot Control home screen
Tim Alvarez's Robot Control configuration was the most popular of all the designs featured in this month's challenge. To make it, Alvarez says he started with a background from DeviantArt.com, which he resized and cropped down in Photoshop to fit his device's screen. He also modified the image to add in some elements and erased parts of it to make room for active widgets.
The Calendar, Media, Apps, and Files icons are all built into the wallpaper; Alvarez used transparent icons to add invisible shortcuts on top of those areas.
He used Ultimate Custom Widget (UCCW) to create the clock/date widget, the battery percentage and ring widget, and the bottom widget with the weather, missed calls, missed texts, and current location.
For the music player, Alvarez used a version of Phantom Music Control with his own custom icon modifications. He also made his own custom icons for the dock at the bottom of the screen.
Oh yeah -- and there are some custom animations and sound effects involved, too. You can see 'em in action on Alvarez's YouTube channel.
Lucky for you, Mr. A is willing to share his efforts. You can download a zip file with all the aforementioned elements on Dropbox.

How to make the Serenity Now home screen
Ben LeFevre says his Serenity Now setup is "deceptively simple."
The clock uses the ever-popular Ultimate Custom Widget (UCCW) app along with a custom skin. The clock has some powerful hidden functionality, too. As LeFevre explains:
It consists of two widgets -- the center one and the left one. An invisible shortcut is placed over the arrows on each widget that swaps to the other home screen. Using Apex Launcher's Accordion transition effect and turning wallpaper scrolling off, this makes the drawer look like it's expanding/closing.
The Search and Play Store icons on the left UCCW widget are UCCW hotspots (shortcuts built into UCCW). The down arrow that brings up further apps is just an image, with a Circle Launcher widget over the top.
You can find the wallpaper here and the icons here and here.

dude you have to be CREATIVE stick on minimalistic and go for every option. it tooks 4 hour to make a homescreen like this.
here is a little suggestion to make widget's like this.
1. choose custom layout always in predefined layout
2. in custom layout make the layout pattern to match the widget then choose style for each of them (normal/accented/non-accented)
3. now in text style window; select size,color,font of each style
4. time to preview the widget
some screenshot to help you

wow those homescreen are awesome!
thanks for sharing it buddy
why don't we put our wishlist here? I'll start with mine.
selectable weather source
re-arrangable app drawer grid. (currently fixed at 4x6, i want 5x6 or 5x7 for big screen full HD phones)
my wish list
selectable news app,landscape mode.
Missed It integration
Lockscreen
The status bar setting is getting disabled everytime when I change the theme. Please fix that too.
Suggestive Wishes
Editable App Preferences
Settings > Themer > App Preferences allows us to reset previously preferred app. Yet, it does not allow us to pick the app for specific themer action. For instance, I would like THEMER to open (play_google_com/store/apps/details?id=com.callapp.contacts) "Caller ID Dialer by CallApp" when I tap "phone" icons or "missed calls" labels. Everytime I pick a theme, I have to manually edit the widget's hotspot. If the theme has an icon shortcut placed instead of a widget hotspot, I cannot edit it. Of course I can change the icon with the that of the my desired app's Yet this action kills the unified aesthetic of the theme.
Folders in App Drawer
No matter what, this is a must when it comes to customization. That's one of the reasons why Nova and Apex are so popular among people who like to customize their gadgets.
Having access to theme specific icons and images within themer
I know that even if these are free themes, their designers should have their copyrights protected. I do not want to extract those images. Yet, if I was able to use them within the THEMER app, I could create new folders when I accidentally erased one. Since there is no option to roll back any removal action, I have to reapply the theme. And everytime I reapply a theme, any changes I have made to the folder content is gone. That has made me a little annoyed as it happened over a few hours I've been playing around with the app.
Hope to hear developers voice soon.
Cheers...
I'll Add ICS support to the wishlist
Tablet Support
I wish Themer for Tablet support.
I mean I want to use with Tablet UI.
This may be awesome I think.

We're currently using Open Map for weather, which isn't reliable. We will soon switch to something better, but won't let the user pick for now. Most users just want weather to work. And we'll make that happen.
We are also going to be doing more with the app drawer in the future .

YES! These are both an issue for me...
The weather is wrong by up to 8 degrees F sometimes.
But my biggest gripe is using the App Drawer the way it is so slow moving and not efficient at all. Please allow Vertical Scroll Alphabetical as one screen(NOVA) and allow Folders in the Favorites Section! That would still allow the Homescreens to stay clean and then access stuff quickly from a Favorites Icon on Homescreen!
I abandoned it
What's with the mandatory FaceSpace or Google+ login for the app to run?
Awesome homescreens, horrible app drawer. Please add a "Vertical Continuous" option as well as grid resizing, basically mirror the app drawer options of the most common launchers (Apex/Nova/etc).

Hi DJ_SpaRky,
Our design team is currently working very hard to iron out all the bugs as well as add in more features. So there are definitely plans of upgrading the app drawer in the future!

Thank you for the reply and I do understand that this is still "beta". There will be fixes and upgrades to come. I was just voicing my opinion as to my concerns at the moment. So far it is wonderful to see it made so simple to have nice looking homescreens.
Keep up the good work.

More rearrange ability because you can't edit the size of widget or add more icons to a page.
selectable weather source
I like the idea of this, it's just. I was able to customize the theme I'm using, took some figuring out. But was able to add short cuts. It's a bit bothersome and not as simple as I would have hoped, I just can't imagine people even more novice than I am getting too into customizing the themes. Having the option to go back to the stock app drawer (tw) would be nice as I have all my apps organized. There's a lot of potential here just needs some careful thought. Either way kudos and thanks!
Here's what I added for shortcuts in case anyone wants to see.

Pop-up folder
I'd like it if the favorites came up as a pop-up folder. I really only have a few and while I could make a folder, many themes already have a link to the favorites.
Thanks. I'm thoroughly enjoying themer and have been showing my friends.
lock screen theeming.
it would be great if lock screen can be made same as home screen making it more prominent for a user.
I see previous launcher's wallpaper background lock screen.

Opinion
I haven't got a defined wishlist, i'm satisfied :laugh:
Alrighty! I don't understand why Google wants me to have this omnipresent search bar on every home screen if there obviously is Google Now / Google Search embedded into the launcher if you go to the left page. So after some searching I found a way to hide it. But it will show again if you go to the left screen; no functionality is lost. Of course digging through the code I found some more things which are customizable

How to request a feature
theknut said:
Since the feature requests are poping up like crazy and users are not making an effort to explain the features and say thank you after I implemented it, I decided to only accept feature requests if you follow the instructions below. But that doesn't imply that I will implement it. I want to see some effort because I will most certainly have it and remember it's all done in my free time. It's not that I do this for living
So if you post a feature request please include
say "Thanks" and be grateful for what you already got
think about your feature and whether it is useful for others, too
properly explain what you really want
I never used Nova and such so I don't understand the request if you just name the setting you want.
I think this is only fair since I spent hours making this module and users don't even take a minute to properly explain what they want and even worse are not grateful for what they already got. For free.
Thanks to all who donated already.

Requirements
Xposed Framework
Google Now Launcher
new diaper
Instructions
download the module and install it
activate it in Xposed Installer → Modules
reboot your device
open Xposed GEL Settings
make all the changes you want
hit the restart button within the app to restart your launcher
Celebrate!
Known issues
In some cases the Google Doodle will not be loaded
How to resolve: pull down in GNow
State: This seems to be a problem of the launcher. This error also occurs if the module isn't activated at all.
If the grid size or hotseat count is changed icons/widgets may disappear (especially if you decrease sizes)
Severity: Keep it in mind
Resized icons or grid settings might lead to different sizes
State: working on it for the next update
Some settings will lead to icons being cut on the left and the right side even though enough space is available
State: working on it for the next update
If you've made changes to the launcher using apps like AppSettings (which is awesome by the way), you might encounter problems
Please report bugs if you find them! A good bug report includes repro steps and logcat and Xposed log file. You can paste them to www.pastebin.com. Screenshots and screen recordings are very important, too. If you provide all of this when reporting a bug it will make it a lot easier for me to help you.
If you report any bug mentioned above and/or ask questions which could have been answered if you've read the OP, please allow me to ignore your post as you did mine.

Superb start been waiting for a dedicated gel module.
How far can this be taken? Is functionality from custom launchers like Holo launcher possible? Such as gestures, animations, changing icons etc.
I do hope things like this aren't beyond the realms of possibility.

not to be a grammar nazi, but what you mean here is the dock, right?

Looking forward to seeing this progress! I like GNL, but there are a few things keeping me on Nova launcher - swiping up on homescreen icons, category tabs in the app drawer (or at least folders), and the ability to remove labels and apply icon packs. Everything else I could take or leave.
Regardless of whether these features make it to your app, thanks for the effort and keep up the good work.

Any way to get this working on a Droid Maxx running Kitkat without GEL?
I like using the droid command center widget but when I loaded GEL it wouldn't let me add it to the homescreen. I got a message saying the widget doesn't work with 3rd party launchers.
FYI, the columns and rows feature is reversed...adding columns actually adds rows, and vise versa. Other than that, great module!
