I've tried Go Launcher EX, but I hated the small dock icons. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Nexus, is there a Launcher that:
1 Don't alter the ICS dock icon size, or that have an option to resize the dock icons?
2 That support swipe gesture in the dock? (Swipe upwards to open shortcut)
3 Where it is easy to swap icons?
Which Launcher can do this?
With ADW Launcher you can easily change icons and you can resize the dock icons in the settings. I'm not sure if the free version has dock gestures but it does have gesture support.

No? I've installed the latest Go Launcher EX and can not find that option, where is it?
The "Icon size" setting only changs the icon size of all icons...
changing icon size to large instead of a custom size seems to also change dock icon sizes in go launcher.
ADW seems to be the only launcher I've used that has the ability to tweak dock icon sizes and numbers properly.

However, Go Launcher latest updates did claim that resizing the dock was doable, so let's hope it's possible for Go Launcher soon.
i managed to make all the dock icons the same same by unchecking Icon Base (show/hide icon base) under pref -> visual styes -> icons

I went to preferences->visual->icons and changed the size to small, the icons were normal size (larger) then! I hope this helps!

Are there any large icon/dock themes with larger fonts out there that I can use without having to resort to editing the LCD Density via an app or editing the build.prop file?
I ask because my mother is considering getting a Nook Color, and her eyesight isn't the best plus I want to avoid her fat fingering the wrong icons
I don't want to modify LCD density because of sharpness loss.
Even a theme that has the icon size for application grid, status bar, and dock modded to be (significantly) larger would work great. I've tried ADW and Zeam but they don't offer the functionality I need.
In the newest update of ADW EX, you can set the size of the icons and text without having to change the density.
Desktop Visualizer lets you change the icon size of apps on your home screen. Not in the app drawer though.

Thanks, I downloaded it and like it, I wish it would let you edit the status bar + icons size too though.
LauncherPro doesn't have some feature that can do this that I can't find, does it?

To get larger fonts "in general" the option resides in the Spare Parts App, but it doesn't effect the size of the icons or home, menu, or search buttons.
So I bought ADW EX and it's exceptionally buggy on my Nook Color and on my HP TouchPad. However, I do really like how things look on the TouchPad with the large HDPI icons. Is there really no way to use those icons in a more stable launcher? I'd love to use 72x72 icons in VTL, GO, or LPP if possible, at least until ADW EX is more stable...

I have ADW.ex and yes, there are a few bugs but typically only with first launch. From a reboot or cold boot you have to relaunch adw and then it is smooth sailing. My biggest gripe is that you can't hide apps in the app drawer.

The size setting there only affects Google AOSP apps. It doesn't even affect Google's other apps.

Ok, so.. ADW Launcher EX updated on me and my settings are all weird now and I can't find out where I remove the Main Dock background? There was an option to hide it, but it is not there.

The docks were combined into one. There is no more main and hidden. Set the hidden dock bar to transparent and that will do what you want
Where are the settings for the hidden dock bar? I only see settings for Main Dock Bar.

There isn't one. I can't find it either so I went back to my old version.
Geez! This is driving me nuts.
Is free ADW the same way? I was hoping to get more out of buying EX, not lose things.
Is this the best place for answers on ADW? Is the developer around here?
ADW settings, themes, main dock, none.
they removed it.
the only around it is go to
general behavior
gestures
swipe down actions (down or up)
select hide dockbar.
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.
I've noticed some people taking screenshots while in tablet mode and their icons are either normal or larger
I'm running cm9 at 213dip and I really can't understand how you could possibly change the icon size any larger- although if there was a way it would not only be very beneficial; but extremely convenient
-Thanks

Have a look on your launcher settings, should be able to size them in there
My launcher doesn't have those settings. Is there something in the build prop I could edit?

Doing that would change the size of the entire system... There is more than one launcher

I have not tried Go Launcher EX yet - does it will allow you to resize homescreen icons, not just widgets? I have not seen this option in Apex or Nova. I would also like to see a launcher that vertically centers the icon in the grid square when icon labels are not used so they line up with widgets in the same row, not display them at the top to leave room for the label. Anyone know a launcher that will do this?
I'm stuck on ADW ex just for this reason. You can blow up your icons as big as you want. I haven't found a newer launcher that can do this as well as ADW.
I find the icons very small for the size of the screen, is there a way to make them bigger?
Use an alternative launcher such as Nova where you get the option to resize icons.

Where can you change app icon sizes in settings? I don't find it.
