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.

Got an idea for Desktop Visualizer, not sure if its possible.

So I was reading a comic book lately and I had an idea of perhaps having tiles overlapping each other in a sense like a comic book page? Would something like this be possible with this app? Or is there another one out there that does something like this?

csb.........

excuse me?

You can do it in a simple way:
1.- You must use LauncherPro Plus (paid) or ADWLauncher (free)
2.- Configure LPP or ADW to make your homescreen 10x10, i.e. 10 files and 10 rows.
3.- Put the Desktop Visualizer icons in your homescreen.
Thats all. The 10x10 configuration allows you to overlap icons.
I hope you find this useful.
Cheers!

Question about Desktop visualizer

Hi there everybody
Im just asking, can I launch the app drawer in launcherPro by a desktop visualizer widget ?
Thank you, this is much appreciated

launcher
if you find a shortcut to the drawer app i think yes, you can change the icon with another using DV. Also you can download "all aps organizer free" from the market and use a shortcut on your desktop

[Q] Customize icons?

Hey there,
how can i use customized icons for my shortcuts with stock launcher?
I was used to do it with Better Cut on my phone, but it isnt available for the Iconia in the market.
I just want to changesome icons and dont want to install a different launcher.

The easyest way is to use Desktop VisualizeR. Install, than go to Add a Widget, Use the Size u wanne have, than u can get any app u want and any icon u wanna use.

Yip, thnaks for the hint, easy as cake =)

Folder Organizer and Desktop Visualizer where also suggested to me when I asked.
Although I don't use any of them. It would still be nice if there was a way to natively set custom icons.
I do use Circle Launcher and that lets me set a custom icon for the each widget and I have multiple instances of the widget (each with various shortcuts inside) so on that level it sates my need for custom icons.

Nova launcher

Hi there, to change the amount of dock icons on the bottom, go to the app that is Nova Settings, from there select the Dock sub-menu. From there you will see an option of Dock Icons, and you may choose as many as you want, from 1 to 7.
Hope this helps!

I'm also using NL, I like being able to lock the homescreens so my younger nieces don't mess things up. I do miss the TouchWiz calendar widgets tho.
