i've been trying to use themes, and noticing that with launcherpro, after you press menu on the home screen, some of the icons don't change along with the new theme. as such, the search, notifications, and preferences icons don't change. does anyone have a way to fix this?

You have to touch a blank spot on the screen. A menu will pop up, hit shortcut then applications. Pick your app then click on the icon and it well ask if you want the default icon or a custom one. You should be able to use any pictures you have in your gallery. You can also google png (fill in the blank) icon pictures and then download them to your sd card.
No he's talking about the icons for the menu options. When you press menu on the homescreen. I believe its because some of the icons call on the system default icons (the default in your case being whatever theme your using) and some come with the app. I think you would have to open the apk and swap out the .pngs with the icons you want to use.
I think...I've never done this, so hopefully someone will come in and fill in the holes that my ignorance couldn't.

yea thats what i meant. here's what it looks like currently. its a honeycomb theme with bionix 1.3.1 and using launcherpro. you can see that some of the icons are the new blue ones, but the rest didnt change.
i tried using ninjamorph to change the the icons, the blue ones are in system/framework, but i dont know where the notification, search, and preferences ones are located. anyone have any clue?
Those specific ones should be located with in the launcher pro apk, if im thinking about thi s correctly. you will need to resign the apk after making my modifications for it to work. Hope this helps

Same Difference In A Way. Same Developer. You Made The Right Choice.
I am running Eclipse v0.2.2. I have adw launcher EX. I changed the ERI banner. I have navenedrob's init.d hack but I edited his script by removing some tweaks and only keeping the CPU freq tweak, SD read ahead and the IO tweak. I did that because I am using the V6supercharger and kickasskernal scripts. (You have to remove the tweaks that overlap) Oh and I am using the 3gturbochrager tweak.
I'm running eclipse 2.2 with init.d, 3gt, build.prop. Currently running my custom theme thru adw along with my blackout theme. Going for a wp7 look...sort of...
Also running a few aosp apps such as messaging and gallery (huge improvement)

Looks good, I like your icons for the app drawer and the phone. Did you make them or are they part of the theme package?

Ooo LauncherPro Gives Me The Option For 3D Drawer. Hope That Helps.
Yeah I have that check but what I'm trying to do is change the icons on the dock, on the home screen. I can't seem to find the icons. I have everything in stalled but when I try and change the icons it doesn't give me the option to change to the 3d icon pack.

Go Inside LauncherPro's Preferences And Click Theme Settings Then Select The 3D Icon Pack.
Yep, did that but it doesn't change the dock icons to the 3d icons it just keeps the basic launcher pro icons.

Did You Try Restart LauncherPro? Maybe Uninstall Then Reinstall.
Yeah, I tried that. If I press and old the app drawer button it does ask me if I want to change the icon, change shortcut, swipe gesture action. When I choose change icon. It then ask me if I want Launcher Pro icons or custom icons. If I choose Launcher Pro icon it brings up the default icons. if I choose custom it brings up the gallery. Neither bring up the M22-3D icon pack. Thanks for all of your direction I know this is not your program. I just thought there was something I am missing. I guess it could just be the phone.

Go To Your Homescreen Press The Menu Button. Select Preferences Then Select The Theme Settings. Select The Icon Pack.
Did that no change. What I am referring to is the app drawer icon on the home page that launches the app drawer. The icons inside the app drawer are 3d. Sorry to keep beating a dead horse.
im using the p3droid and then froze a bunch of stuff that i saw was listed. for some reason eclipse just feels slow and it scored about 300 lower on smartbench.
Seems this has been asked before and no one has answered. Yes icons on the home screen/dock can be changed easy. But the icons in the dock are not so easy. When I download a custom theme for cm7 like stygian black fade, it changes about half of the icons (like handcent), so I know it can be done. I'm using ADW EX and a cm7 kang. I cant find any good guilds on how to make a theme similar to stygians black fade. Editing the original program .apk is not an option as many don't allow it. Creating a folder is also not an option, its just avoiding the issue which can be fixed.
When I try to add a zoomed widget in the same area as my weather widget, the weather widget was pushed off the screen and I can't get it back. Sure I can just try to make a new one but it's still running somewhere off the screen. Is there a way to list all widgets you have on screen? And delete them in that list? Or from a list default them to center of screen? I know the themer widgets can stack so why are they moving on their own? This is especially true if I try to edit a theme I download. As soon as I press configure or resize or add something the theme goes ape **** and everything just moves. Not using a custom dpi. Stock Rom galaxy note 3.

Hi vitessex,
We're not too sure how this happens, as testing it now reveals that a widget cannot push another one off the screen. However in your unlucky case, we suggest going into Themer's main settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Allow overlapping Widgets. This should then just cause the widgets to overlap instead of jumping around.
Which downloaded themes are causing this? Most new themes should have the overlapping widget setting enabled to prevent this issue.

It seems to do it with all the themes I have downloaded. And even happened on the one I am making myself. But currently I will show an example with the theme "Coordinate." The overlapping Widgets option is enabled and this is what happens when I add a widget or edit in any way really.

I see. There might have been a bug during installation. Try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Let me know how this goes.

I was able to get the themes working using Xposed and G3 Teakbox but cannot get the icons to change when selecting them individually (long press and change). I can change them to only the stock icons. I cannot see the icons from the other themes like I could on my G2
Does anybody know how to do this? Is these a hidden setting I am missing?
Anybody able to change icons on stock launcher?

Long click on the icon you want to change.
You will see a purpler brush thing on the corner of the icon.
click on the brush and a screen will pop up showing you different icons for it.
Select a icon.
Hit ok.
Use icon changer from the store and you can use any icon pack you want

I have tried this but I am not able to see any of the icons from the icon packs. I just see a handful of icons or I can go to the gallery to see pictures.
I cannot see any of the icons from the themes that I have installed. I can change the themes just not the icons. I have a G2 and know how it is suppose to work and am not sure if the feature is just is not available.
I, personally, don't like the rounded folder shape even we are able to change the shape for the app icons. Do we have magisk module or icon pack where we can change the folder shape?
Thanks in advance!
press and hold on the homescreen. go into settings and change folderstyle to your likings.
Reeppeep,
I only have "Change icon shape" after I press and hold on the home screen and select "Home Settings". I don't have the folder style option. Is there a new pixel launcher apk somewhere? The version I have is 9-4928604.
hey, i'm sorry i thought app-icon style is what you were after. kinda misread your question a bit. can't help you with folder style, i'm sorry.
I know it is an old thread, but this question is still relevant. I got a new phone and I hate the dumb round shaped folder icons in Android 8 and 9, with no way to change it. It's crazy, isn't it? Taken from the real world, folders are always square, after all. Yet, we can't have square folder shape in google's skewed digital world, only round ones. App icons can be customized in many, some useless, way. We can have round app icons, square app icons, squarish app icons, teardrop app icons .... but only round folder icons. No customizable folder icons for us, oh no. Doesn't matter that in previous Android versions, at least up to 6, folders were square. Take your round folder icons now and like them. Yep, that makes sense . Screw you , google, that's the kind of stupid stuff that drives people to Apple and iphone.

Go to settings> enable developer option > in developer option > themes application: highlight color, title source and icon shape.
that is about folder, not icon, icon we already know how to change shape as the last post above us told
Hi, I didn't find a Solution, but I think this should be better then installing a Launcher (something I don't want to do).
The onle thing it should do the job is removing completely the background color of the folder, see the screenshot.
