Having some trouble changing the icons in the second screen. I pulled the png files from an icon pack and am able to change it just fine on the LG home screen launcher, but when I drag them up to the second screen they turn into a white box. The weird thing is that the simple "g" icon I picked for Google retains the icon but when I do the other ones I picked they turn into that white box. Also the LG launcher doesn't like that icon pack either.

Not sure why you're having trouble. I moved an app that I have a custom icon for to the second screen, and that icon works just fine. It isn't one of the default custom icons either.

I'm using the stock LG launcher. It lets you change any app's icon to an image you can select from the gallery. And I've already tried throwing some apps I've done that with up to the second screen and had no problems with it.
i love lg now i had a note and alot of the styling and things i had to get a custom rom for it does straight out of box without root. i found this out after rooting and was like well now i have to find something i needed root to do to make haveing root necessary.

Yeah the stock launcher is pretty robust with the icons but not as much as Nova, which is my current launcher. I forgot to ask earlier, where did you get the icons you are using? Are they the ones from the LG theme store? If that's the case then I think my second screen icons are changing with those. But the way I had to do it for icon packs not supported by the LG was extract the .png files from the 3K minimal apk and choose to change the icon using the .png picture from the gallery, which isn't really working. The "g" icon for Google works but like I said in the OP the rest turn into white squares.

I'm not using an icon pack, I just used my own .png image. For example: I use Twidere as my Twitter client, so I grabbed the official Twitter icon from the Play Store on my desktop and just sent the .png over to my phone. So now the Twidere shortcut looks like the regular Twitter client.

Not sure what was wrong with the pngs I was using I converted to jpg and added a black background since jpgs can't do transparency and all icons are good now. Looks awesome
In case anyone was still having trouble with the second screen Icons, here is the method i have been using to successfully change them rather quick and painless.
Download "ThemeX" from Google playstore
Download desired icon pack(s)
Open ThemeX and select icon pack, then select some or all Icons to be downloaded to gallery.
Click save icon in top right hand corner
Go back to Homescreen (LG Launcher)
Tap and hold app in which icon you would like to change
Select icon from gallery and save.
Drag new app icon to second screen.
Congratulations... Second screen Icons successfully changed.

Yes, only works with stock launcher. But once you get the icons on the second screen, you can go back to nova and the icon change persists.
really cool, download for try.
You can create a Tasker APK through Tasker App Factory with a trigger to run your desired app when you select it, you can choose your app icon in Tasker and install the apk. Then you can add it to Second Screen. This method works on Nova Launcher for sure... I haven't listed step by step instructions in this post but if you are interested I can point you in the right direction. @Big Boy Larouxlaroux

Also, if you have any suggestions, please SUGGEST! I'm quite new at this, I just got my first droid a week ago.
Cheers!
very very nice dude, I REALLY like that Elegant Black theme. I may be partially confused, but how do I install this???
There are a few different applications you're going to need, preferably I would recommend you pay for the pro versions just for the extra customization features. Anyway, you'll need:
WidgetLocker for the lock screen
LauncherPro for your homescreen
Clockr for the clock widget
Minimalistic Text for the Date, Time, and Weather
Palmary Weather for the graphical weather
Phantom Music for the music player control on the homescreen
I just downloaded all of them and played with it for a while, that's the best way to get a good grasp on how it works. Play with the options for an hour or so...
Hopefully that helps! If you have any questions along the way I'll be more than happy to help.
the app icon(icon where popups your app list) is not included!
would have been nice if you included install instructions telling people to play with the various widgets coulda defeats the point of you posting your theme

If you're serious about customization you need to learn the ins and outs of each application so you know how to manipulate it. Although, to those who don't want to spend a lot of time working on their theme, I suppose I could make a video. It won't be tonight but I'll try to get to it tomorrow.
I wasn't sure how the OP made the icons disappear on LauncherPro so I just used a transparent icon.
Here is is for anyone that needs it.

Ahh thank you! I'm glad you like it.
Also, I noticed that the minimalist text on the homescreen looks better if you flip it around to be "top-bottom". It's a bit easier to read, I'll update that when I get to my computer.
Dunno bout suggestions at this time, but I do have a PSD file for photoshop I am using to build all my text icons I am using for Launcher Pro (and for the dock I am using), if you would want to use them as a base to work on a full theme.
I also have a custom skin based off the one in the images to match the shading on the text for the icons in the dock.
Where should I store the themes for widget locker after I download them? For some reason it can't see the Minimal Gradient theme .

It is easier to just download them via your phone from XDA and install that way

You can do what mitty said and install it from XDA or you transfer it to your phone then click on it in your explorer to install.
Also, I've added another theme everyone! I hope you enjoy it.
I just found out how to use different fonts in Minimalist text, so hopefully you will see that in some of my newer themes.

Hey everyone.
I decided to make this thread so I don't keep cluttering up the post your screen thread with my stuff.
This is just a fun thread for you guys that might be interested in icons, docks and wallpapers that I make.
Ask around and you'll find I am a pretty flexible and easy going guy. I do requests if they are in the scope of my abilities, just don't always expect something same day or even same week.
I don't do nudity or suggestive type wallpapers so don't ask.
Please do not post other people's wallpapers, docks or icons on this thread.
I would like to keep this area as a place to house my work.
I usually post all my wallpapers to my website but I think occasionally I will only post here.
The main reason for this thread is for the little things, docks, icons, circle launcher icons and any other graphic you guys may want.
All my work is free....
But as always if you like my work and want to buy me a beer, the donate button is to your left near my avatar.
If a beer is too much I always except thanks so hit the thanks button frequently.

Remember, if you use ADWEx you can scale the icons down so they look a little better....I like mine scaled down a bit.
On homescreen go to
Menu softkey - More - ADWSettings - UI Settings - Main Dock - Advanced Settings and Dock icons scale...I set mine to 8
I think it looks better, try it out.

I changed to 9 and it looks good. Any chance I could get one last version with white text instead of blue (inside the blue ring)? The blue text is just a little hard to read.

Thanks again buddy! TOOLS NEEDED
Photoshop CS3/CS5
Vexillium Icon Template (*.psd)
ICON METRICSResolution: 72x72 px - HDPIHOW TO REQUEST FOR AN ICON1. Go to play.google.com
2. Search for your favorite app and click the link
Example: Search for Bad Piggies then click
3. After clicking the link, look in your browser's address bar and look for something like:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovio.BadPiggies
4.Look for the app id which will come after "id=", in the example above, it is com.rovio.BadPiggies
5. Replace the dots with underscores
Example: com.rovio.BadPiggiesto com_rovio_BadPiggies
6. Post your icon request with the playstore link here
Example:
ICON REQUEST
1. com.rovio.BadPiggies - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovio.BadPiggies
NOTES:
Please don't ask what is an address bar, it's 2012 already, you should know what an address bar is.PS. Limit your icon request to 5 icons. We don't have any volunteers yet to cater icon requests, so I'll work on this with my free time.

Home for Hyperion Launcher
NOTE
Everything is working except widget size. The default grid size is 4x4. I can add 4 x 4 number of icons but the desktop only accepts 3-row widgets. The other day I got it working correctly, after reboot it can't accept 4-row widgets again. Please test this build.
HyperionHome.apk
Install like normal apk but make sure you don't have any xperia launcher installed, if you have then please remove it.
UPDATE:
Still testing the latest build, Some 4x4 widgets (Latitude) works without tweaking the settings and some widgets are just screwed. Maybe it's the screen size handling as this is based on Xperia port by ra3al which is a multi-resolution launcher.
We need someone experienced in screen scalling (measurements) to check and help us fix the issue.Vexillium Icon Pack
Extracted from the original MIUI theme.
Needs resizing and renaming
Re-size to 72x72 pixels and replace dots with underscores

UPDATE:
xViP10 does it again, so quick in porting the icons! Great Job! Thank you so much! Vexillium Icon Template
Use this to create icons. Save your icons using the template's original size (135x135 px) then create a copy and resize to 72x72 pixels. Name your icon following the format below:

With its subdued simplicity, Naturally Android won over plenty of fans -- and won its designer a nice new Nexus 7 tablet. So how's it made?
Creator Joe Rochinski said his main goal was to create something that was both simple and visually striking.
"I've never liked the look of home screens packed full of widgets and mismatched icons," Rochinski says. "There's an app drawer to house all your app shortcuts, so let's leave them in there!"
Rochinski found his background on DeviantArt.com. He then used an app called Wallpaper Wizardii to scale and position it just the way he wanted.
Nova Launcher Prime, a popular custom Android launcher, allowed Rochinski to eliminate extra home screen panels and also remove the separator line between the Favorites Tray and the rest of the screen. Nova also made it easy for him to swap out the icons to his own custom creations.
Speaking of those icons, Rochinski relied on an app called Simple Text to build them along with his custom app drawer button. He used Minimalistic Text, meanwhile, to make the clock and weather widgets.
"You don't need to be an expert programmer to get a similar look on your own phone," Rochinski says. "I hope this theme will inspire others to try their hand at their own home screen and make some more beautiful designs where less is more."

How to make The Explorer home screen
Greg Wright's Explorer home screen got lots of attention, and for good reason. Wright's creation is actually even cooler than you might realize, as many of the visual elements are interactive: Tapping the compass opens Google Now; tapping the caliper toggles the notification bar; tapping the lion at the bottom of the map opens a folder of frequent apps; and tapping the date at the top opens the system clock. The paper scroll at the bottom-left, meanwhile, shows a dynamic representation of the phone's current battery level.
Like the last setup, Wright's home screen uses Nova Launcher Prime to accomplish some of its magic. The wallpaper comes from Wallbase.cc; the widgets for the date, time, and battery level were all made using the Ultimate Custom Widget (UCCW) application along with a font called FoglihtenNo06 (Google it and you'll find several sites offering free downloads.
As for the interactive functions, Wright used Nova Launcher to create shortcuts on the spots he wanted and then set their icons to be blank images. That makes it seem like you're tapping the actual map instead of a regular app shortcut.

How to make the Organizus Optimus home screen
Like Amirul Farhan's eye-catching creation? You aren't alone.
Farhan built the setup using Apex Launcher, an alternative to Nova with many similar features (either app could really work for any of these configurations). Within the launcher's settings, he set the home screen grid to 9x5 and four panels.
He then created a custom set of wallpapers, one for each panel. He uses an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper in order to have each panel display a different background.
That's where things get a little more complicated. I'll let Farhan explain it:
Start on the first homescreen. Using Apex action, place an app drawer shortcut on the square icon (at picture's bottom right corner).
Next, using Apex action as well, place the shortcut to screen 2, screen 3, and screen 4 on the star icon, ribbon icon, and the conversation bubble icon, respectively. Repeat this step on screen 2, screen 3, and screen 4.
This is the tricky part: hiding the icon we placed earlier to make it blend with the wallpaper. You need a blank icon, easily downloadable from the Internet. Note that although you cannot see this icon in gallery, it's there. Long-press the shortcuts placed earlier, and replace the icons with the blank icon.
Got all that? Good. From there, Farhan used a series of widgets and icons to accomplish his effects. They include:
• Minimalistic Text Widget with a font called Billabong for the titles at the top of each panel.
• Eye in Sky Weather for the forecast on the "Weather and Status" screen and Widgetsoid for the power bar at the bottom of that panel.
• Icons from Minimal MIUI Go Apex Theme for the shortcuts to the apps on the "Leisure" screen and Minimal Reader for the headlines at the bottom of that panel.
• Brilliant Quotes for the rotating quotes at the bottom of the "Work and Productivity" panel.
• Android Pro Widgets for the social widgets on the "Social Circle" panel.

How to make the Robot Control home screen
Tim Alvarez's Robot Control configuration was the most popular of all the designs featured in this month's challenge. To make it, Alvarez says he started with a background from DeviantArt.com, which he resized and cropped down in Photoshop to fit his device's screen. He also modified the image to add in some elements and erased parts of it to make room for active widgets.
The Calendar, Media, Apps, and Files icons are all built into the wallpaper; Alvarez used transparent icons to add invisible shortcuts on top of those areas.
He used Ultimate Custom Widget (UCCW) to create the clock/date widget, the battery percentage and ring widget, and the bottom widget with the weather, missed calls, missed texts, and current location.
For the music player, Alvarez used a version of Phantom Music Control with his own custom icon modifications. He also made his own custom icons for the dock at the bottom of the screen.
Oh yeah -- and there are some custom animations and sound effects involved, too. You can see 'em in action on Alvarez's YouTube channel.
Lucky for you, Mr. A is willing to share his efforts. You can download a zip file with all the aforementioned elements on Dropbox.

How to make the Serenity Now home screen
Ben LeFevre says his Serenity Now setup is "deceptively simple."
The clock uses the ever-popular Ultimate Custom Widget (UCCW) app along with a custom skin. The clock has some powerful hidden functionality, too. As LeFevre explains:
It consists of two widgets -- the center one and the left one. An invisible shortcut is placed over the arrows on each widget that swaps to the other home screen. Using Apex Launcher's Accordion transition effect and turning wallpaper scrolling off, this makes the drawer look like it's expanding/closing.
The Search and Play Store icons on the left UCCW widget are UCCW hotspots (shortcuts built into UCCW). The down arrow that brings up further apps is just an image, with a Circle Launcher widget over the top.
You can find the wallpaper here and the icons here and here.

dude you have to be CREATIVE stick on minimalistic and go for every option. it tooks 4 hour to make a homescreen like this.
here is a little suggestion to make widget's like this.
1. choose custom layout always in predefined layout
2. in custom layout make the layout pattern to match the widget then choose style for each of them (normal/accented/non-accented)
3. now in text style window; select size,color,font of each style
4. time to preview the widget
some screenshot to help you

Hi there,
Just wanted to share a small trickery with everyone. Nova launcher can hide your statusbar on desktop, so if you go now to the second screen options click more and then "show time while content is shown" you are going to have a full screen desktop thanks to nova and the second screen to act as your statusbar (kind of). It not a full fledged statusbar since it only represents time wifi ,cell signal and battery but it works also gives you notifications etc..
:good:

The problem is that with this launcher you lose like 80% of functions that you had on stock UI. If you clear home default and switch back and forth between launchers a few times you will see the second screen become more or less a status bar

What do you mean by this? I use Nova and my second screen still appears to have all of the stock functionality. What do you figure you're losing with Nova vs. LG Home?

What they are describing, is the very feature this thread was made to discuss. If you enable "hide status bar" in Nova, it replaces the secondary screen shortcuts, with the battery / signal / notification icons.

Ah, I got it. Yeah, that's definitely a thing. That said, it still renders the assertion I originally replied to, "The problem is that with this launcher you lose like 80% of functions that you had on stock UI," as false.

Yep. Nova works very well in place of stock. Just keep the 'hide the status bar on homescreen' option disabled - and you can use the second display just as you would on the stock LG Home launcher.

Just to add, you can also assign a gesture in Nova to show/hide the status bar, which in turn affects the second screen. Now you can have control over the second screen on the fly, at your leisure.
I've hidden the status bar in nova, but can still see the second screen , as this is now my notification area . If you want to see the status bar , battery , bars etc then i double tap on the home screen . Yes it does make the screen a bit bigger , but you cant " bleed" into the second screen , it would be good if you could use both screens as one .
