Desire theme for X10 Mini

Now that the X10 Mini has been rooted, can someone make an HTC Desire theme, with icons and wallpaper?
I have tried Pandahome, aHome, xHome etc but none of them change the icons, they only change the Settings and Internet icons.
There is adw launcher in market and different themes, which have different icons.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Well, I tried ADW but it did not theme the icons.
You dont need root to change the icons and wallpaper.
Wallpaper i guess you know already.
To change the Icons you need Bettercut and preferably Open Home from the same developer.
You will need a Market enabler if you are not able to buy apps currently to see those apps cause i believe both are pay-apps.
And I'm asking again.
I rooted the phone and still theming is nowhere.
aHome, PandaHome, xHome, BetterCut, ADW Launcher DO NOT WORK. They only theme the YouTube, Browser and Settings icons. Can I do something else? As I said, I've already rooted the phone so I can do anything you want me to.
ADW launcher v. 1.1.3 have a sweet option for custom shortcuts.
It let you create a shortcut on the homescreen, and let you choose a custom name and picture for the icon.
it works great for giving your homescreen a special look

You are talking about changing the icon inside the App-Drawer? Then i agree , you can't change them with the launchers and so on. ADW.Launcher does theme more of them thant you are describing. Probably all icons , BUT it is the icon pack that must have the appropriate icons for the apps you want to have themed. I am just now running the Sticker pack for ADW and there are a lot more themed icons.
Bettercut and so on can only (as far as i know) theme them when you make a shortcut on one of your homescreens.
Whatever this has to do with a Desire theme though i have no idea.

[Q] how to make stock app drawer semi transparent?

hi
i was wondering if we can make the app drawer background semi transparent...i tried out transparent touchwiz in this forum but it lacks speed and looks of the stock touchwiz launcher...
As far as I know, that is not possible. You can try other launchers though. You may want to try GO Launcher EX [Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex] or ADW Launcher [Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adw.launcher]. Both has support for that.

[Q] Arc App Launcher Question

Ok had a question about the Arc Launcher. So i noticed you can add your own items in the dock bar, Which is perfect. But i cant seem to change the app drawer icon? I like the launcher but i also like adw's and also launcher pro, Which all give me every option i could ever ask. Is there a way to modify the original launcher to offer more options, Such as resize widgets.. Or like adws hidden app drawer. ?

I think you are already using GO Launcher EX (which is totally free).
If you are referring to the icons in the dock, then to change the icon, just tap and hold then select "replace icon". You can also download GO Launcher themes and apply them to change the icons look and feel.
I think GO Launcher EX is a quite decent and fully customizable, but if you prefer launchers similar to stock ICS, then try Apex launcher (free).
I wouldn't worry at all about ram or performance, as Galaxy S3 is more than capable for such simple tasks.
I just downloaded a theme. Does anyone know where it is stored so that i can add my custom icons?
