I was able to get the themes working using Xposed and G3 Teakbox but cannot get the icons to change when selecting them individually (long press and change). I can change them to only the stock icons. I cannot see the icons from the other themes like I could on my G2
Does anybody know how to do this? Is these a hidden setting I am missing?
Anybody able to change icons on stock launcher?

Long click on the icon you want to change.
You will see a purpler brush thing on the corner of the icon.
click on the brush and a screen will pop up showing you different icons for it.
Select a icon.
Hit ok.
Use icon changer from the store and you can use any icon pack you want

I have tried this but I am not able to see any of the icons from the icon packs. I just see a handful of icons or I can go to the gallery to see pictures.
I cannot see any of the icons from the themes that I have installed. I can change the themes just not the icons. I have a G2 and know how it is suppose to work and am not sure if the feature is just is not available.

i've been trying to use themes, and noticing that with launcherpro, after you press menu on the home screen, some of the icons don't change along with the new theme. as such, the search, notifications, and preferences icons don't change. does anyone have a way to fix this?

You have to touch a blank spot on the screen. A menu will pop up, hit shortcut then applications. Pick your app then click on the icon and it well ask if you want the default icon or a custom one. You should be able to use any pictures you have in your gallery. You can also google png (fill in the blank) icon pictures and then download them to your sd card.
No he's talking about the icons for the menu options. When you press menu on the homescreen. I believe its because some of the icons call on the system default icons (the default in your case being whatever theme your using) and some come with the app. I think you would have to open the apk and swap out the .pngs with the icons you want to use.
I think...I've never done this, so hopefully someone will come in and fill in the holes that my ignorance couldn't.

yea thats what i meant. here's what it looks like currently. its a honeycomb theme with bionix 1.3.1 and using launcherpro. you can see that some of the icons are the new blue ones, but the rest didnt change.
i tried using ninjamorph to change the the icons, the blue ones are in system/framework, but i dont know where the notification, search, and preferences ones are located. anyone have any clue?
Those specific ones should be located with in the launcher pro apk, if im thinking about thi s correctly. you will need to resign the apk after making my modifications for it to work. Hope this helps

Would it be possible to include extra icons in a theme download?
I have 'Depth' installed, but would like to change the folders on the left most screen. Unfortunately I can't find matching icons...

A lot of the time the designer uses custom icons, so it's not possible to get the pack.
What you could do, instead, is use your own icons or find an icon pack on the internet and just replace all icons with those. Then you'll have some to spare.
I found a nice white pack on deviantart by googling "android icons". I loaded them into my picture gallery, and then just changed them from the main screen (long press > edit > choose picture and save). I'm using the same theme as you. The icon pack I used is called "Whiteout".

How do we do this? Most Icon Packs now are tied to select Launchers and only those Launchers...
How do I install Nox pack and then load these to my Gallery?

I guess this not new at all, but did not found it as a suggestion in the forum.
When i select to change an icon it would be nice to be able to select from an icon pack.
General support for icon packs would be nice too.
you mean to change an icon ? just download the icons you want,or make them,add them to your phone,then when you click it to edit you should see your icons folder via the gallery

You are able to manually change icons on the homescreen by holding down on the icon - edit - and select an icon pack from there. Icon packs such as Nox work well, as well as other ones by KovDev. We are working on including full icon pack support soon

Thx for the reply. I did try with just one icon pack (Flatcons White) to see if its working, but no icon pack shows up as an available option when trying to edit the icon. This is why i posted the suggestion in the first place. I will try with more packs.
Thx a lot for your time and effort on this great product!
Its still look like wallpaper mounted in the device , please bring us a huge update:highfive:
step by step
find the icons you want to use and copy them to your device,ie gallery
on the main screen press the icon you want to change until the edit box pops up,when it does press edit
the next box will have a pic of the icon at the top and the icon text underneath,press the icon
in the next box you should see a popup with your gallery in,press the gallery icon and find the icon you want to use.
hope this helps a bit have done a few screenies to show

What @alldroid said is very good.
I also recommend looking at Jeppe Foldager's Copy.com icon pack folder. They all image files so you can find them easily in your gallery.
Here is the link: https://www.copy.com/s/DxsaXLatvBGf/Share/Icons
Perhaps i was not clear. I know the procedure to change the icon. I just tried with Flatcons White icon pack and there was not option to select an icon from the library, so i thought this was not possible at all (copying icons one by one is not very practical)
I then tried Umbra icon pack and it worked fine (meaning i see it as an option to pick an icon from). So i guess some icon packs work with themer and some not
The one i mentioned before (Flatcons white) for some reason it does not work with Themer (works with nova, widgetlocker etc...), so i jumped into wrong conclusions. I wonder though why its not working
Thx a lot for your time again
cool
THANKS

Hello. Does anyone know how to resize the wallpaper ? I installed gravity box to remove softkeys, but the wallpaper act as if the button bar was still there. Can I resize the wallpaper in order to cover even that black bar on the bottom? Thank you

Hi,
If you're using a Nexus 5, try this:
1. Delete all the themes (/sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/ThemeCache).
2. Use Expanded Desktop mode.
3. Reapply the theme.
It should fit the wallpaper correctly, however we don't advise always having your soft keys hidden as Themer (as well as the themes themselves) work best on stock display settings.
Thank you for your fast answer, i've done as you adviced but the issue persists

How are you using the Expanded Desktop mode? Does applying new themes give you the same issue?
I've been using Themer with Expanded Desktop mode for a day now, using a few themes, and I've encountered no issues. Try various ways of using ED and one of them should work out

I'm using gravity box with extended desktop mode.
With the other themes the black bar is smaller but it's still there as you can see from the screenshots

Maybe uninstall Themer - delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder - then reinstall.
As mentioned, Themer is designed to work best on a stock layout, therefore getting it to work with adjusted display settings isn't recommended. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi
Im currently running DN3 rom V5.2 and I can see that the settings menu is like the S5 with round icons and looks very beautiful
is there a way I can make the other icons in the menu also look like the round ones in the settings menu?
I mean all the menu icons and installed apps icons to be the like round ones in the settings menu
Please let me know
Thanks
VJ
search for s5 icon pack on play store and see what you get. if you are using it with touchwiz launcher, you will have to download app called unicon to use the icon pack.Rounded up icon pack comes close but isnt exactly the same.
