guys, look at these photos, this is an amazing theme. I need some guidance on how to even start this beautiful thing... I know it's kinda noob but its sexy... will someone show me how to do this?
Doesn't really look like a "Theme" just looks like they used LP Plus or ADW and Desktop Visualizer to resize WP7 style panel icons.
Download Launcher Pro and donate for Plus (Highly Recommended) or I believe ADW Launcher allows you to resize widgets. Then download Desktop Visualizer.
There are a few tutorials on how make precisely this style of home screen.

Not sure if anyone here can help, but you guys are so helpful I thought I'd give it a shot. My wife likes the style of the icons for the iPhone apps, but definitely doesn't want an iPhone. Any way I can make the icons that show up in her app drawer have the iPhone look, possibly without rooting it?

I'm not sure how to make it show up in the app drawer, but it's definitely possible to make the icons show up on the home screen. And you can do it without root too.
First, download a launcher from the market called launcher pro. You don't need plus. The free version is fine.
Second, download your icons.
Third, press and hold on the homescreen until a pop up appears. Select shortcuts, then select applications. Choose your app, select custom icon, and then select your icon of choice from the folder your icons are located in when your gallery shows up.
Your app should appear with the custom icon on the homescreen now.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, she's using launcher pro now. I knew I could do that with the dock but didn't realize you could choose a custom icon for the shortcuts and also wasn't sure about the app drawer part. I may see if just changing what she sees on her homescreen will satisfy her. Any suggestions on iphone style icons?

I think that ADW Launcher themes can theme the drawer icons. If she is hesitant about changing Launchers, ADW Ex adds some of the Launcher Pro Features that the free ADW Launcher does not have (and also some that Launcher Pro doesn't have).

He's right and if I remember correctly there is even an ADW theme that changes the icons to look iphonish.
Sweet, I'll have to look into that. Is ADW just as smooth as Launcher Pro?

Currently, I would say that ADW might even be faster than LauncherPro. That wasn't always true. I use LauncherPro Plus, because I like the widgets, but I have been playing with ADW Ex recently and it seems very fast on my phone. The developer of LauncherPro is currently working on rebuilding it from scratch, so it might speed up in the future.
Hey guys, i was wondering how i could get this Iphone look for my Wildfire.
I can't buy anything online so it needs to be a download.
This is what i'm looking for -> htc wildfire(IPHONE THEME) on youtube u can find a video about it.
Hope you can help me find it !
another thread explains it here:

I think that the best setup that looks like Iphone UI is compiling:
1)Go Launcher with Classic Theme
2)Go Dialer
3)Go Contacts
4)Desktop Visualizer 2x1 widget
Also you can use5) Iphone Style icons like Suave for example.
6)For the lockscreen I recommend you using widgetlocker with iphone theme and dclock.
Everything is available on the Market!
I think if you use all the above it will be looking like an Iphone..!!
Looking for the files for the stock news and Weather widget ? Running ADW ex launcher, and it doesn't show it for some reason ? Can I install those separately ?
To me ADW, is a must have on the EVO-3D, because it allows for customizing the amount of rows of icons, and having 5 rows high of apps is a must on the higher resolution of the 3VO, because stock, with just 4 rows seems ****ed up, like to much space between widgets.
Sent from my EVO-3D waiting for Myn's ROM
UPDATE;
I had an old apk from my EVO 4G, was clear/transparent News & Weather widget. I threw that onto my 3VO SD/Card, and all set
I'm also using an alternative launcher (Zeam Launcher) and would like to use some of the HTC widgets, yet those are only available when using Sense. What apk did you use (for example to get the weather widget back)? I imagine I can find it on the webs?
Does anyone have the stock non transparent News and Weather widget apk ? Now I don;t like the totally clear background, makes it harder to read, I prefer the black background, or even better would be a semi-transparent with dark grey background, sort of see through.
Anything out there ?
if use buildin sense launcher it got only 6 icons deducted clock space
Im wondering if there are any application or any method can make desktop icon smaller while using sense UI as launcher, currently i can only use other custom launcher to make it smaller, cause i want to put more app on desktop, but the problem is so many wiget are combined with sense UI, so if i use other launcher instead of genuine stock launcher those wiget will be extincted
Hi,
you can add app icons to other homescreens, or you can add a folder to youz homescreen and add apps to the folder.
Hi,
i just stumbled upon multicon, which lets you place 4 icons in the place of which now is 1 icon. Have a look at it:

All,
I'm trying to tweak my Galaxy Tab with ADW EX and Desktop Visualizer. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to create a shortcut to a specific screen ie screen 1,2,3,4.... with Desktop Visualizer.
I know how to create a shortcut in ADW EX to a specific screen, but can't figure out how to do it in Desktop Visualizer.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Create shortcuts in ADW EX to specific screens, remove icons and text from them and place them under Desktop Visualizer widgets (allow widgets overlapping option in ADW EX should be selected).
I accomplished mine without using desktop visualizer since I couldnt figure out a way to do it with it. I did it by going to Launcher actions > Screen 2 (as an example) and then deleting the text and changing the icon to transparent. I also removed the glow from the icons so you dont see each individual icon when you press one.
Note: I put the "button" on the wallpaper and then this over top to make it work properly.

Joedoe,
I created the ADW EX shortcut with the specific screen. I can remove the text, but when you click on the icons, it forced you to pick an icon. How did you remove the icons.
Also, I check the overlapping option in ADW, but I don't understand how this can effect Desktop Visualizer. Can you please explain?
Thanks!

Use a blank transparent image as an icon. Put the Desktop Visualizer widget next to ADW shortcut and resize it to cover the shortcut.
