[Q] How can i make a shortcut that does nothing - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

Using ADW Launcher EX and i want the 5 icon dock spacing but only 3 icons. So i would like to put 2 shortcuts in the empty spaces that do nothing - then make the shortcut icon match the background or dock so it is basically invisible.
So, anyone know how i can make a shortcut that does nothing - you tap on it and it does nothing.
Thanks for any ideas.

[Q] ADW Launcher EX w/Desktop Visualizer and homescreens?

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.

[Q] Change Ring toggle icons

Hey guys~
So, I personally don't like the slide toggle in Widgetlocker, so I decided to just get a separate widget that is a button toggle (Silent Toggle) and put it on my lockscreen. Problem is, I don't like the icons >_<
Any way to change the icons? I can't seem to find where the widget was downloaded onto my A2
Also if you have any nice toggle icons, that would be great too
I'm going with a mainly black and white transparent theme and the only icons I could find right now are the ones used it this theme
Thanks^^
If you could also help me with this problem, it would be nice~
Whenever I try to make a shortcut in Launcher Pro for a specific email account that uses the stock email app, the shortcut goes on the homescreen and not the dock. Sometimes it even says that the homescreen has to force close! Any reason for this?

Any help appreciated^^

Launcher Grid Size

What size grid are you guys using that are using Nova or Apex? I tried running 9x7 which is what it seems like it should be at 160 dpi... but then the icon labels don't show up. So I moved it back down to 9x6 and the icon labels show, but now my Asus weather widget is cut off on the bottom. I feel like I've tried every combination, but no matter what I try I can't get Nova to show both the icon labels and not cut off my weather widget.
Trebuchet works, but the grid seems a little small on that TBH, and I like the card stack animation on Nova.

[Q] Custom sized shortcuts (NOT widgets) with Apex Launcher

So I'm redoing my home screen, and I want to have a few text icons that take me directly to specific home screens. Apex launcher has action shortcuts for this, but they are only 1x1. I cannot use widgets to get these actions... I have to use shortcuts. I have done what I want with 1x1 shortcuts, but they are just too small for my taste. I really want 2x1 shortcuts. I have not been able to figure out how to make them with either Simple Text or Desktop Visualizer.
Any suggestions?
I have exactly the same question. Did you ever find a solution?
edit: I found a clunky work-around by taking advantage of the fact that Apex lets you overlap widgets. I made a totally hidden apex action shortcut by removing the shortcut text and using a transparent icon that I made with Simple Text (careful with these, because if you forget where they are on your homescreen they're hard to find!). Then I put a 2x1 Simple Text widget (that does nothing) over the top. The problem of course is that the shortcut only works if you press the 1x1 area where the apex action shortcut is!

[Q] Transparent icons for certain things (app drawer, settings, etc)

I'm trying to figure out how to get some transparent actions on my nova homescreen so I don't have to have the icons in the corners of the screen showing. Right now I just have the icons for the settings, app drawer, nova settings and camera shown in each corner but it looks kinda bad like that.
Anyone know any app or way to do this?
