cLaunch: Shortcut icon for settings?

Hi Evertone,
I´m using cLaunch to create shortcuts on my today screen. I'd love to have a shortcut (icon) to settings.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks in advance.

I'd like to know that too...

cLaunch and shortcut to settings
Not sure if you had worked this one out yet but I found the answer. Download iFonz onto your phone. One of the files in that app is called 'settings' and is a shortcut to the settings on your handset.
You can then copy the settings shortcut to My Documents (or other location of choosing) and link cLaunch to that file. iFonz can then be removed safely and you are left with your cLaunch shortcut.

Default Application Icons

Can anyone post all of the default application icons from the g1 in PNG formats? Id like to use them on my g1 to replace icons from other applications. (I.e. replace the chomp sms icon with the messaging icon). I would really appreciate this and thank you.

You can extract them easily yourself by opening update.zip in an archive program (I use 7-zip).
e.g. for the Messaging icon, it's in:
JFv1.42_RC33.zip\system\app\Mms.apk\res\drawable\ic_launcher_smsmms.png

im looking now and i dont see the mms.apk

Titanium: Adding panels to the Calendar panel

I use Pocket Informant and it would be great to be able to add a few pages to the default Calendar Panel on Titanium that would lead to some .lnk files. Can someone shows how to add a page to this panel. The registry dir for the calendar is too different from some like clauncher that I know how to edit.
thanks.

Have you tried with CHome Editor?

Tried CHome Editor
I tried, but not luck
I added a page with it, editted the page, adding the link url, icon, etc, but the page never has shown up on the calendar panel. Only the 2 default pages show up on the panel...

Launcher pro icons

I know how to change dock icons on launcher pro, but how do I change the other icons on home screen?
Thanks

you need to use something like desktop visualiser or folder organiser

When you add a new shortcut you get an option to change the icon right after selecting the app. Would be so nice if you could change icons on existing shortcuts.

With Bettercut or Desktop Visualizer.

is there a way to change the folder icon of launcher pro? as it is so boring brown

Here's a tutorial on customizing LauncherPro - lots of links to icon & dock collections there, as well as some custom Desktop Visualizer icons.

Am I right in guessing nobody found an answer?

might be easier just to use adw and get a theme that you like, it's less hassle and changes the icons for you...

Yeah I have ADW all set up and organized with the icons I like.
Thing is, I'm trying LP since yesterday and my Milestone 2 (Droid 2) feels faster and more responsive... And I'm not using live wallpapers or any other bloatware lol.
For example, when I click on a blank spot and click on 'create widget' (normal widgets, not LPP widgets) the menu for the widgets appear instantly. In ADW after I click 'widgets' it takes three seconds for the widget menu to appear.
Same thing with the app drawer, 3 seconds of black screen on ADW and instant on LPP, and I'm using the 3D mode in both.

You can change folder color by using 7Zip, Find your Launcher Pro .APK file right click, select 7Zip, OPen Archive. Drag the res file to your desktop. Click " Drawable-hdpi find the PNG folder files, should be two(OPENED, and CLOSED). Edit files with Photoshop or whatever program you desire and SAVE. Go to APK folder in 7Zip and delete the res folder. After your done drag the modified res folder back to where you originally grabbed it in the 7Zip file. Install APK on your phone and your folders should all now be your modified version. Caution you will have to un-install Launcher Pro first then redo your folders.

Game folder or widget?

Sorry if this sounds stupid but how would I go about making a games folder for all my games. I'm on taboonay so the games have all been removed. If I use a widget would that take me to a location where all games are stored, not apps screen? I've been focusing so much on performance that I've only just got around to personalizing the tab after a month of use!

Try Folder Organizer or circle launcher

+2 for folder organizer lite. Once you make your folders and add in all your apps or links I then use the widget Desktop Visualizer to make my own icons.
If you use DV, add the widget and pick the size you want. Then when you see the green outline for the app on the screen choose other, folder organizer link and then pick your folder. It looks very clean with a variety of sizes for the icons. (Before setting it all up though- Just download a pick for your icon and choose it from the gallery when your setting up the widget, or you can just use organizer lites icons)

I'm using astro to view the zip file containing the icons i downloaded but i can't see the icon image when choosing. All have the same file image so it's a painin the arsegoing throughthem all. What am I doing wrong?

Did you unzip the files? Then you have to view the images so that the gallary is associated with them. Then when you set up the DV widget you choose the icon, just have to know where to find them. They don't have to be icons from icon packs though, you can use any small sized JPEG as well.

All sweet with the widgets, how can i just have widgets with icons and no text labelling the folder. Folder organizer won't let me have a link with image only. Is this possible?
The text sayin "games" kind of ruins the nice icon.

I can't believe I didn't spot that. I tried the same thing in folder organizer. What a dumdum.
Thanks again.
