Hide Icon names. - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Is there any way to hide the name of the icon on the "desktop" or "springboard" if you will... They are so unattractive, and hiding the apps names wud sure give it a sexy edge.

You can do this in preferences with Launcher Pro.

I use Better Cut to change desktop icon names. A blank space results in a "no name" icon, like my Uninstaller icon...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So at least that way, I can use the stock UI and get icons w/o names.

Mini Info + LauncherPro Activity = Win

So I have been looking for a solution to the problem that I always seem to have. I want to adjust the volume for say my ringer, but it changes it for my media, or something else.
I came across this, using Mini Info (free from market) and a LauncherPro (also free in market) activity
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Long press on your home screen, choose Shortcuts, Activities, Mini Info, then choose the one that says: com.dynotes.miniinfo.VolumeControl
Choose a custom name or icon if you want.
Enjoy!
Solid tip thanks

Weird wallpaper section

I have this random section in my wallpaper choices. I have "Live Wallpapers" "media gallery" "wallpapers" and the one I don't understand is "wallpaper gallery" which has one colorful wallpaper and one blank image. That is all I cannot figure out how to get rid of it and it is very irritating. Anyone know how to get rid of it.

It looks like you're using LauncherPro. It's an amazing must-have app, but it does add a wallpaper section like that. It's dumb because you can't really get rid of it. LauncherPro's developer is the only one who can remove it, unless someone wants to hack his app...

[Q] dock

Hello
I have a question. Is it possible to have a dockbar on our x8 that looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And if it is possible, can someone tell me how? (detailed if possible would be nice) =D
Thanks!
Most launcher can do that. If you have the dock image, just set it as custom dock. As for the phone and drawer shortcut, select a blank png.
Look at my signature for an icon thread. You can find similar text icons there.
Cool, but how can i make the phone icon so wide? It seems to me that it takes the space of almost two icons.

Text wrapping in App Tray (Official ICS Rom)

Hi
Anyone else got the text that sits under the icon for an app wrapping onto the next line. I have several apps with long names, where the last character appears on the following line under the app's icon.
This is new to ICS, On GB, the same app had all its text fitting on the one line.
Its looks ugly, and I wondered if there was a fix?

No one else seeing this ? Maybe I need to change the DPI somehow.
I've got the same effects in my app tray, it is kinda ugly you're right!

How do you have your messaging themed?

I actually like MOST things about LGs UI over vanilla, but one thing I can't seem to get to my satisfaction is the messaging theme.
There is options to change it I know, but the bubble color and background options you are given are so ridiculous. I would switch to a 3rd party app, but I LOVE the way stock has the pop ups.
Anyway, how do you guys have your messaging themes? Have you set a custom wallpaper?
I've attached mine, I actually think it's decent. I wish we had a way to add more bubble colors.
