Was curious if anyone else that uses this launcher is having issues with icons changing back to the standard eclipse icons, not completely sure if its adw but thinking it is. I lock my desktop after changing the icon images and they maintain until I rotate my phone then about three icons revert back to standard eclipse icons.

I've been looking for the preferences for the launcher on nero v5 but can't find them. I just want to be able to change the actions of the buttons on the bottom of the home screen. And maybe make that background clear.
Anyone know how to adjust them?

Download "HomeSmack"
from the market. Makes changing easy.
If yoyr talking about the gingerbread launcher or tw launcer. You wont be able to make tge background clear. I suggrst you download adw launcher from the market. That is the only launcher thst im aware that lets you set a clear background on the drawer

I'm just talking about on the home screens, the buttons on the bottom for the app drawer and browser etc.
I would switch to launcher pro, but I love the app drawer in nero 5, i guess it's just the froyo launcher or something.

Why not switch? You can have an identical looking dock bar like you described with the added ability to customize nearly everything.

i know what you mean. i switched to adwEx launcher but the notification bar doesnt change when i apply the theme-formely known as Nero Glass wich has the transparent backround that MWBehr made. my dialer, contacts, and notification become transparent when i use the stock launcher in bionix_v. i believe its adw based. im going to try apk manager and pull the transparency from the theme and apply it to adwEx.

Have you tried ADW Settings, Themes Preferences then for Icons check ADW.default theme?

It definitely works when using icons from another adw theme than default. Maybe if you can find an adw theme with default icons, then set your preferred theme in theme chooser and set adw to use icons from the former.
A few extra steps, not sure why it won't just work.

TW4 is an abomination. I have switched to the Apex launcher which does a good job of giving a stock ICS feel, but I want rid of the fugly samsung TW icons for phone, messaging, contacts etc.
Whats the easiest way to do this?
rant
Why the **** would you bother changing the good things in stock ICS, like folders etc, and replace them with the sort of ugly and arduous **** we haven't had to deal with since Froyo in stock?
/rant
If you get Apex Pro you can use the adw ICS theme and use the icon pack from that in the Apex theme menu.
Just download an ICS icon pack and long press to change them using Apex launcher. Did a quick google search and found many. One link below.

Once you get your icon sets, Desktop Visualizer from the market gives you the ability to change any icon with any launcher and resize it depending on what you want.

Does TW give you the ability to put the app drawer icon into the center?

Yep, been using it for months. Didn't work with Holo Launcher though
I'd like to change GOSms icon with the stock SMS app icon to put it on dock and replace the stock SMS app, how can I change an app icon with touchwitz? I'd change it because GOSms icon is smaller than other icons in the dock and it's very ugly
Desktop visualizer :good:
Thanks my friend! Very useful!
I know its not a direct answer to your question but you could try another launcher. Apex Launcher allows full control over icons and titles for every item on your home screens.
Forgive me for crashing the thread, but I also need some help changing icons. I want to change the dock icons (on stock Rom) and I am using apex launcher pro. On my HTC Sensation and apex launcher, all I need to do is long press the icon and I then have the option to change it, but when I long press on sgs, the only option I get is to remove app. I am sure it must be simple, can someone help me out. Thanks.
I feel a bit stupid now. After uninstalling all third party launchers and re-installing them, I now have all the correct options to edit the dock icons.

is there any way to change the stock icon in the touchwiz lock screen? I can use desktop visualizer to create the shortcut with new icon on the dock, but touchwiz lock screen icons I cannot change to customize.

Hello,
IS there a way to keep my stock SMS icon and have it open up Handcent instead of the stock messaging app. I really don't like the Handcent blue icon up on my menu bar.
Thanks,
Mike
If you use custom launcher, like Apex Launcher, you can edit icons and even names of the app.
And if you prefer Sense you could use Desktop Visualizer.

^ what he said ^
It's what I'm doing, I also replaced the icon for the phone dialer...
you can also get the Sense Icons from somewhere and use Bettercut
I used it to customize my icons and added them to the dock
I use Apex Launcher. It can do just about anything with icons and your home screen.

That's some good photoshop work
Does Nova Launcher have a feature like this? Where you can change the icons around?
