I have 5 home screens set up on my Dell Streak, each containing a group of widgets/shortcuts that relate to a distinct home screen.
Is there an app like a "Text label" app that lets me longpress and add a text/lable widget at the top of each screen and can enter the text that i want to use as a lable for each screen?
Example,
Home Screen 1 text display "Phone and Messaging"
HS2 text display = "Office and Calendar"
HS3 text display = "Android Market and Online Shortcuts"
HS4 text display = "Games"
HS5 text display = "System and Settings"
It sounds like a simple app where you define the text to be displayed, then drag it in place on which ever home screen that the longpress step has been executed.
Is there an app for this in the market?
I think this will do what you want...
Search for minimal text or minimalist. You can add text clocks as well as text strings

Thanks Fazzie I will check it out. Greatly appreciated
The Regina launcher from the market includes this feature and is available free on the market. 2.0 and higher I believe.
Search the market for Banner, it's a very simple to use widget with color and font options, also size of the font.

you could also, use a different desktop background for each homescreen and put each background into photoshop or something and write the text actually on each background before you apply it to the phone. Means you could have endless fonts and blending options doing it that way. Obviously slightly more time consumming though.
All are great options.
you can also use desktop visualizer from the market to place custom widget style icons onto the desktop.
Make a few text image files in GIMP or photoshop or whatever, place a widget onto the desktop and assign to it any image of your choosing.
Text Widget, made by an xda member should do the thing.
I "named" my homescreens with this widgets in a very similar order as your example

Swank! I will search for it on the forum. The member named it "Text Widget"? That should be easy to find. Thanks!
Greetings!

Hi guys,
I was wondering if you can suggest a minimalistic email widget on Android 4.2 that displays a list of emails on transparent background. Some basic counter would be nice also. Thanks.
so I am using Nova launcher and minimalistic text widget and I am making a theme where there are big blocks of clickable text. One of the things I would like to do is to open a app folder when i click on one of the text blocks. I was thinking I could just make a transparent widget or something above minimalistic text widget because it does not look like there is a way to do that with the app. Is there a way to resize folders with nova launcher? am I better off just using something like Simi folder and setting a big name for the folder and no icon or something?

I use folder organizer. Minimalistic text can choose folder options from that app under shortcuts. Its not idea, but it works.
I was wondering if i use minimalistic text as a buttons, can i export the theme and preserve the icons i use in it. I can photoshop the text and make em bitmaps but when i put it as icon on app it is really small, and looks awefool. My theme requares to be able to resize this icon. How can i manage that to work.
Thanks in advance.
You need to use the themer everything widget and set pictures and create hotspots rather than trying to use app icons because those are restricted and will scale down to the default size that your screen resolution will use.

Hi Oxgroth,
Unfortunately Minimalistic Text isn't supported as a 'exportable' widget, only Themer's built in Everything Widget, RSS reader, etc. will work (and Zooper Widget soon).
SchmilK is right in saying the Everything Widget can be used. It's also a lot more user friendly
Thank you very much. I`ll test out Everything widget, i hope i can use the custom fonts for text buttons.
