Not sure if anyone here can help, but you guys are so helpful I thought I'd give it a shot. My wife likes the style of the icons for the iPhone apps, but definitely doesn't want an iPhone. Any way I can make the icons that show up in her app drawer have the iPhone look, possibly without rooting it?

I'm not sure how to make it show up in the app drawer, but it's definitely possible to make the icons show up on the home screen. And you can do it without root too.
First, download a launcher from the market called launcher pro. You don't need plus. The free version is fine.
Second, download your icons.
Third, press and hold on the homescreen until a pop up appears. Select shortcuts, then select applications. Choose your app, select custom icon, and then select your icon of choice from the folder your icons are located in when your gallery shows up.
Your app should appear with the custom icon on the homescreen now.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, she's using launcher pro now. I knew I could do that with the dock but didn't realize you could choose a custom icon for the shortcuts and also wasn't sure about the app drawer part. I may see if just changing what she sees on her homescreen will satisfy her. Any suggestions on iphone style icons?

I think that ADW Launcher themes can theme the drawer icons. If she is hesitant about changing Launchers, ADW Ex adds some of the Launcher Pro Features that the free ADW Launcher does not have (and also some that Launcher Pro doesn't have).

He's right and if I remember correctly there is even an ADW theme that changes the icons to look iphonish.
Sweet, I'll have to look into that. Is ADW just as smooth as Launcher Pro?

Currently, I would say that ADW might even be faster than LauncherPro. That wasn't always true. I use LauncherPro Plus, because I like the widgets, but I have been playing with ADW Ex recently and it seems very fast on my phone. The developer of LauncherPro is currently working on rebuilding it from scratch, so it might speed up in the future.
I am using Desktop Visualizer and Folder Organizer to add a couple things to the desktop. I am doing a thing for games and apps (apps that arent games). It works with FO tagging but I was wondering if there was a way/app that would bring up a section that looks more like the normal app drawer, I don't really like the popup window that FO uses. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!
In ADWLauncher you can make Catalogs, so basically you select the apps you want to appear there..
After that you can add a "Launcher Action" (as an icon) to the desktop which opens the Catalog you made.
cool, I am using ADW EX, how do I go about making a catalog?
nm, i got it. thanks for the heads up. just started using ADW.
I've launcher pro plus on my phone and there one feature missing. I am unable to re-arrange icons in the app drawer. How can i do that? or there's no such feature in launcher pro.
I also find my phone randomly putting icons in the drawer apps box when i install them. How can i make it so the newest installed app is at the very last?
thx

Thanks alot buddy
But it still doesn't tell how to rearrange icons in the app drawer :S
I deleted 2 apps from my Tablet but the icons are still there though they are no longer working.
Is there a way to completely erase the icons?
Thank you for your advice.
p.s. the apps are Go Weather Animate Wallpaper and and GO Weather Widget Skin HTC

Are you saying these icons are showing in the app launcher? Or in the respective widget/wallpaper menus?
They still appear in the Home Screen but .when I click them, they say "Application is not installed".
The 2 apps are downloaded from the Market but deleted later.
press and hold on the icons and drag them to the trash bin that shows up on the screen. voila!
Done!
Thanks a lot.
Someone has got to have made this but I can't seem to find it. I'm using a "hubs" layout (one screen for social media, one for productivity etc) and I'd like to essentially have a horizontally scrollable launcher widget on each screen with apps that make sense for that hub.
Currently using simi folder widget which is cool, but I'd prefer the launcher bar that is activated by clicking on the folder to live in a widget right on the home screen.
Could anybody point me to a widget app like this? I'm pretty sure I saw a video where someone had this but didn't see details on what they were using. Thanks!
Edit: sorry if this would have been better posted in themes and apps. Please move if necessary.

If I'm understanding you then what you're looking for is a dock that can display icons that are specific to the current page? Something close would be Nova launcher which provides a scrollable dock. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

Thanks, I'm currently using Apex and I really like it. I don't want just 1 dock (no matter how many pages on it you can scroll through). I want a different set of apps in a horizontally scrolling launcher bar widget. Then I could put an instance of this widget on each of my homescreens with different apps in each one. Then when I swipe from my "Office" homescreen to my "Photo" or "Video" homescreens this "launcher" widget has the appropriate apps for that hub. Hopefully that makes sense.
Like I said, simi folder widget is pretty good for this kind of setup, but I thought there might be a better solution out there.
