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.

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!
So i hate using icons for my launcher, so i have used simple text as icons. But i have run into a snag along the way.... How do i modify my app drawer icon? I can change the icon easily. but when u choose what to launch you cant choose the app drawer, you have to physically choose an application, anyone know the way around this?
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 use chompSMS and Nova Launcher. I'm wondering if there is anywhere I can find the stock motorola SMS icon? I tried taking a screenshot and cropping the icon from my computer but Nova Launcher scales the icon in a way that makes it appear larger than the dialer, email, and browser icon when they should be the same size. Any suggestions?

maybe when ya cropped it, it was to the same size as the icons should be but u prob didn't leave space around the borders, so they don't look bigger than the default icons?
just a thought..

If you are already using HomeUp, you can simply reduce the value there under: "Home Screen" - "Home Screen Grid/Apps Screen Grid" which will automatically make the icons larger or, if you want, smaller...
As an example, I use 7x7 for both HomeUp settings. So my symbols are kept rather small. If you decrease the value, the symbols get larger.
