If you mean changing which apps are on the dock, its simply drag and drop. If you want to change what the icon for a certain app looks like, here are the instructions from another post in the Theme's forum.

YES!! you get it !!
I want to change the main 4 Dock icon.
First, you can only change 3 of the 4 dock icons, because Applications has to stay. I don't have my phone yet so I can't try it out and tell you for sure, but I do know for a fact you can change 3 of them. You probably have to hit the bottom left button (next to the physical home button), then pick Edit. You should then be able to drag and drop...
Just click on the applications button to bring them up, then press the left menu button and then choose edit, then you can drag any app icon into the first three spaces..
Hope this was helpfull

again, you don't put swype on a keyboard. swype is its own independent keyboard. either you have it installed or not. if it is installed (came with your rom) you can choose it like you choose any of the other keyboards.
top and bottom? again i don't understand how best to help - you need to answer my questions i asked above (they are asked for very specific reasons). also a picture of what you are talking about will help.
A noob question....I just rooted my SG2 using chainfires method, worked great! I would like to be able to change the icons on the bottom of the home screen, can't stand stock messaging app. What's the easiest way to go about this?
Thanks!
Why here you asked this?There is a Questions and Answers topic in this section.....
Use a launcher like ADW ex or LauncherPRO and you can customize the icons or swap them round. Touch whiz is pretty shiz to be honest.
By the way, this is the wrong thread for this question, should go in Q&A
Hi rsk99
Like the guys above said this should be in the Q&A section.
To change the icons on the bottom of the screen first hit the applications icon. Now hit the menu key and go to edit. You can now change the fist 3 icons but not the Home/Applications icon

Open the app drawer then press menu key and select edit. You can then change 3 of the shortcuts. The app drawer shortcut cannot be changed.
Or simply go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102965

Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
I am running JB at the moment, so can't tell you perfectly. But I remember having this situation before and I used menu-edit to change icons in dock. try that.
Or go into app drawer and navigate to page where chrome is then go menu-edit... pick chrome and try to bring it down on the dock.

Doing menu-edit changes the dock bar and give me the following 4 options to drag the icon on to.... "Create Folder" "Create Page" "File Info" "Delete".

Do menu-edit while you are in app drawer.
Home screen - app drawer - menu - edit

Thanks for your reply...I had already tried this. The only difference is that now once you start to drag instead of the "Creat Folder" "Create Page" "File Info" and "Delete" it does the same but just with those as icons and no text.

Gonna go and get rooted the I can take full advantage of APEX Launcher.
Hi All,
Like StefsGalaxy, I've done a myriad of searches re: TouchWiz Shortcut Dock and thus have yielded no results, or at least nothing fluid anyway.
I guess it is a localised issue. i.e. AU Only. I'm with the Vodafone network but have seen posts the same from people who are on Telstra.
I've read a few threads on XDA RE: Modifying TouchWiz, and have been fairly successful. Said Mods have mostly been Column / Row modifications to allow for more icons on the HomeScreen and AppDrawer.
I'm interested to know if there is a way I can
A) Modify the application shortcuts on the dock (within the APK)
B) Undo the changes that Samsung have 'borked'
C) Revert to a pre-jelly bean version of TouchWiz (seclauncher2.apk) where the functionality to change the Apps still exists..
Perhaps if I could find seclauncher.apk from a 4.0.4 build (any directions on where are welcome), I could compare the differences between the two and re-compile for 4.1.1.
Any alternative suggestions that don't involve a complete ROM change or a new Launcher? (I quite like what I have)
Thanks in advance....
Sorry if this is basic and/or answered elsewhere, but I failed to find another thread about it.
Can you move or remove icons in a theme? I like a lot of the themes, but I'd prefer to remove a lot of the icons they come with to save precious screen real estate. For example, I do not use Instagram, so I'd like to remove it and replace it with an icon for one of the apps I do use on a regular basis.
Thanks,
Revtim

Simply hold the app you don't want and drag it to the X at the top.. hold any app from app drawer window and drag it to the home screen.

Thanks for the reply.
That's the first thing I tried, but it doesn't work. When you say "hold" you mean a long press?
For example:
I am using the theme that looks like iOS called "SEVEN". One of the icons it comes with is 'Instagram', which I do not wish to use.
When I long-press the Instagram icon I get the same menu as when I long-press an empty part of the screen, with the following options:
BROWSE THEMES
+/- HOMESCREEN
CHANGE WALLPAPER
etc...
What I'm talking about is a widget that is stationary in one position on the screen no matter where you scroll on your homescreens. I know these already exist in some themes in themer but I do not know how to create a custom one. Can anyone help out? Or is this impossible? Thanks.

Which themes are referring to? It might just be an optical illusion This feature is on our to-do list though...

I see. I was referring to those themes which had the stationary dock on the bottom and I thought those were widgets. Thanks anyway

Hi made when I make my wallpapers for my themes I add the icons for the dock apps then using ether the everything widget or themer zooper for hotspots.
To do this add a shape over the top of a icon and set to the same size as the icon and make the shape transparent and add the matching hotspot
All the best

Sent from my RAZR I screen to your screen using a strange thing known as the world wide web
I think he means where the scroll bar at the bottom remains static,here's how to do it
go to browse themes and select settings
in settings click advanced,then click dock
in these settings select show dock
go back to your home screen and drag the icons you want to stay to the dock area and there you have it
your icons now appear to remain
hope this helps
Thanks for the tips guys. going into more detail I was actually going to slightly edit an existing theme and add stationary text near the top of the screen. I think for that dj's method works so thanks for that.
I have never seen those widgets but I want to use them. Can you give me a link to it?
