Im using cm7 with LauncherPro as default home screen. I like LauncerPro a lot but I kind of miss the square thing thats around the dock bar. I dont think LP has it but I can be wrong. (The square thing is in the picture). Is there a way I can get that on LP?

CM7 with desktop visualizer
Has any one tried using desktop visualizer with cm7 to resize the icons? The desktop visualizer widgets are not showing under widgets. any idea?
did you move desktop visualizer to the sd card using the bility in a2sd? Widgets from Apps moved to sd using that method won't work. You'll have to move it back and reboot the phone.

do you mean the dock on the home screen?
I don't know how to actually remove it, but you could set the background to transparent and remove all icons.

you'll have that + + + + + label for adding another icons...
you COULD in theory create a blank PNG or jpeg or whatever.. save it in your gallery (or wherever.. )
Long press on one of the Plus signs.
Select "Replace"
Select "Custom Icon"
then select your blank png (blank.png attached to post
et voila
I have added a blank.zip to the post
just unzip the blank.zip and there will be a blank.png inside....copy to your phone..... find it in the gallery.. and i can confirm it works

(i have left dock background in place just to prove it is working,, but easy to disable)
show/hide dockbar
if you dont need the whole dockbar on your homescreens you can also configure to show or hide it with a gesture.
go to "settings" -> "function-settings" -> "buttons and gestures" -> "action for wiping down" -> "show/hide dockbar"
(i hope this are the names of the menus in english because i have the german version)
now when you wipe your finger down on any homescreen the dockbar shows or hides itself.
thats the settings i prefer but do as you like!

No you can't.
1. Wrong section
2. Dumb question
3. Lazy user
when you tap the + icon, some options pop up where you can select "blank" and + icon will disappear

This is the best way. However the homescreen real estate is not expanded to reach the bottom of the screen, unlike most other launchers. For this reason I switching back to ADW, although Go's transition fx are amazing
Bit of a bump here, can i not replace the dock with say Arrow Dock? It's completely different so is it possible?
This is arrowdock:

Actually you can.
Set glide action to hide dock bar, return to home screen and 'glide to hide',reset glide action to whatever. Now when home, no dock bar. Voila!

wrong section yes but not a stupid question nor a lazy user. its an option in adw that i wish go launcher had. i would switch to adw for this option alone but i'm having other more serious issue with adw. the point of this is to use the space so my widget extends to the bottom of the screen. it just looks a lot cleaner instead of empty space at the bottom where the dock would be.

I think the earlier question was removing the dock bar and using the real estate to place widgets, which you really can't. Hiding the dock bar? Yes of course. Using the space for widgets? No can do.

You can use the space for widgets, the trick is that you have to go to a larger grid size, place the widget at the bottom, and then change the grid size to be one notch smaller.
I did this so that my twitter widget is stretched to the very end of the screen, and the same thing for the jorte calendar on another screen.
It's easy
Using the additional screen area at the bottom can be done, but only for resizable items (widgets). Here's how. Increase your vertical grid capacity by one. I run a 5x4, so I would switch to a 6x4. Use a gesture feature to hide the dock bar. Any widget that was on the bottom of your previous grid will now be one row up from the bottom. RESIZE the widget to occupy the bottom row (do not move it). For a 1x1widget, you would be turning it into a 2x1 widget. Now, go back into your preferences ---> screen settings. Revert back to your original grid layout and return to your home screen. The bottom widgets should occupy the full lower area.
There are three problems with doing this.
1) Any time you show the dock bar, the widgets will not adjust, meaning that the dock will cover part of the widget(s).
2) If you long press any of the lower widgets, it will detect the missing grid row and relocate the widget. In the event this happens, you must repeat the process all over again. This means no moving or resizing widgets once they're in place.
3) The spacing between the lower widgets and anything directly above them is increased due to the widget occupying a larger vertical area. This creates a less uniform look. Note that this only applies to widgets that do not stretch when resized (fixed widget size).
How this helps.
This thread is awesome, now I can finally make some MIUI like interface.
Ok, so.. ADW Launcher EX updated on me and my settings are all weird now and I can't find out where I remove the Main Dock background? There was an option to hide it, but it is not there.

The docks were combined into one. There is no more main and hidden. Set the hidden dock bar to transparent and that will do what you want
Where are the settings for the hidden dock bar? I only see settings for Main Dock Bar.

There isn't one. I can't find it either so I went back to my old version.
Geez! This is driving me nuts.
Is free ADW the same way? I was hoping to get more out of buying EX, not lose things.
Is this the best place for answers on ADW? Is the developer around here?
ADW settings, themes, main dock, none.
they removed it.
the only around it is go to
general behavior
gestures
swipe down actions (down or up)
select hide dockbar.
Hi, as the title, i would like to add empty slots, to spread the apps out a little, rather than having 16 on one page, you could do this using the stock launcher, so why cant i do this on GO Launcher EX , can anyone shed some light?
Thanks
Press your menu button on phone and select Preferences. Select App Drawer Settings. There is an option for Grid Size. Select this and then choose custom grids. It will give you 2 sliders that lets you choose how many rows and columns you want down to 3X3

bro, he wants to have for example a 4x4 page, but would like to have only 15 apps in it instead of 16. he want to have 1 app holder as space instead of a full site

Yes thats right, i've tried messing around the column/row sliders but that just spaces the applications out on the page, whereas id still like to stick to the 4x4 layout, but have less than a full page (16 apps) so i could different pages for different categories, instead of using fiddly folders, you could do this on the stock TWlauncher, but not on GO Launcher EX it seems.
My bad I misunderstood. Not sure if thats possible or not.

Hi,
I have a widget which I want on all my screens, and so far the only way I can do that is by adding that widget 5 times, once for each screen.
I was wondering if there was a way to add that widget onto the dock so its always there.
So, how did you manage to add the widget on the dock?
Please advice...

On Nova Launcher I think you can add them, but it has to be a 1x1 widget. Same for Apex Pro.

Ok this may be quite late but in Apex Launcher Pro:
Get into "Apex Settings" then
"Advanced settings" then
"Widget settings" then
"Widgets in dock" then
tick the tick box then
drag and drop your chosen 1x1 widget from the home screen to the dock i.e. add one to you home screen first.
I've noticed some people taking screenshots while in tablet mode and their icons are either normal or larger
I'm running cm9 at 213dip and I really can't understand how you could possibly change the icon size any larger- although if there was a way it would not only be very beneficial; but extremely convenient

Have a look on your launcher settings, should be able to size them in there
My launcher doesn't have those settings. Is there something in the build prop I could edit?

I have not tried Go Launcher EX yet - does it will allow you to resize homescreen icons, not just widgets? I have not seen this option in Apex or Nova. I would also like to see a launcher that vertically centers the icon in the grid square when icon labels are not used so they line up with widgets in the same row, not display them at the top to leave room for the label. Anyone know a launcher that will do this?
I'm stuck on ADW ex just for this reason. You can blow up your icons as big as you want. I haven't found a newer launcher that can do this as well as ADW.
