my question is, is there some command or app that exists that will remove the label from each icon? so, the gmail icon will have Gmail written under it highlighted in black with white lettering... is there a way i could get rid of the black highlighting and just have the white lettering? thanks.
I don't think you can do it on the stock launcher, but you'll have a better chance doing it on like launcher pro. I know that home replacement can take off the title underneath the icon.
ADW launcher has an option to remove the icon labels, and I'm pretty sure Launcherpro does too.
yeah, i have launcherpro and i'm aware you can remove the labels of each application icon. my question is, can i remove the highlighting from each label, so i'm left with just the white text. thanks, again.

hi,
does anybody know how to completely disable the notification for emails, sms and missed calls?
to be clearer: i do not mean the notification bubbles which can be disabled through settings. i mean the notification icons which appear on the menu bar.
any ideas? thanks

Do you mean the HTC Home icons?
i think what he means is the icons that shows up on the top bar along with the start icon, beside the connectivity icon..
here's a snap of it..

Ah yes, you are right!
I think that's the system feature and cannot be disabled.
if you have a look on some today screen replacements (e.g. todaylife) they can suppress the notification icon
mmh todaylife is a net application that sits over the todayscreen, so the notification are still there.
... but they are hidden, i guess? because the author has also rewritten/reskinned the complete top bar. so i can't imagine that the author would allow that notification-icons would popup as they wish.
ya I wish there was a way to get rid of those also
I would imagine (not knowing the particulars), that you would need to hook into the notification message loop and disable from there.
this might be a workaround:
replace those notification icons with pure black icons.
i am not skilled enough to do that, as i think it is the same hazzle like you have when replacing the start-icon on the top bar...

But what about theme usage? On for example blue theme this would be a black square there
sure. that's why it is a workaround and might not be applicable to all users
but at least for black theme users like myself
theres a way....programs like photocontactpro and smsfilter have the option to stop text messages from showing up. don task me how....but they do the magic some how
try wisbar advance 3 (wa3)
Could someone please tell me how they are getting icons using desktop visualizer but with no text underneath?
I'm using desktop visualizer + adw.launcher + openhome rom.
I've tried removing app names in adw, which removes the text under the shortcuts, but doesn't remove the text under widgets? How's everyone else doing it?? All I wanted was 1x1 iphone (or similarl) style widgets but now I get the 1x1 widget with text half overlapping the bottom of the image, and it looks crap. Any ideas?? Thanks.
Also, when I choose 'dockbar' in adw, the dockbar stays exactly the same? It doesn't look like the dockbar image, but stays as the standard dockbar, even after restarting adw, or restarting phone (see link below).
"DockBar - turn on/off the new (secondary) dockbar"
http://code.google.com/p/adw-launch...#Chapter_1_-_Installation_&_Post_Installation
Sam.
Sorry, I've solved the first issue, just by deleting the label text in desktop visualizer and then adding a 1x1 widget, no text appears. So obvious! Doh.
Still can't get the nice reflective dockbar going though. Any ideas?
Aha, solved it, I didn't realise the dockbar was dragable! Press on the app button in adw.launcher and dragging up reveals the secondary bar
I know this thread is all my posts so far, but they might help someone.
i dont like the black label behind the icons on the homescreen of dell streak..i have a 2.2 android version and i want these black bar icons removed on it..please help me
get a different launcher like ADW or LauncherPro, and you can hide the labels...
With ADW, you can also lock the screen in portrait...
If Dell added the icons borders lke how HTC did their espresso roms for T-Mo, you should be able to just pull framework-res.apk, edit the image files n push it back
or as tmotytn mentioned, use a dif launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro.
How do you change the stock icons? Can you get them from m the play store or do they have to be from the LG theme app?

Just use a launcher like Nova or Apex. Then apply whatever icons you want.
Actually came in here to answer my own question just in case someone was wondering. You can't change them unless you use the Home/app drawer option. Long press the icon will give you the little purple paint brush.
Well, after trying that, it seems no matter what I do, I can't rid of the black background the system places on the icons.
Also, try the themes in the smart world. A lot of themes have different icons

You can get rid of the black backgrounds. From a cnet article (​Four settings to change on the LG G6): To switch back to normal icons, head to Settings and open the Display tab. Then select Home Screen, followed by Icon Shape and then tap Original.
hey guys how sre you?
plz i need your help
always i get notification on whatsapp ,i have dot on the icon ,but the dot is green same color as the icon ,so i cant see it loll
any solution?
Other launcher, or try an icon pack with a different icon shape to make it easier to see.
Other launchers have the option to display the badge with a custom colour or even can display the number of notifications.
Alternatively, if you don't want to switch to a different launcher, you can go into the app drawer (where you see all your apps) long click on WhatsApp and select Edit. You can assign a different icon to it so it'll be easier to see the notification badge.
