[Q] How to remove the black bar behind icons on dell streak?? - Streak 5 General

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.

notification transparency and wierd wallpaper bug

Hey guys, I was creating a transparency theme for LeeDrOiD 2.1 and came across a weird problem I havent come across before. I have the notification bar transparent on the lockscreen, and when using a live wallpaper, but as soon as I choose a standard wallpaper (either through gallery or wallpaper chooser) the transparent notification bar is no longer transparent, but a solid black. I've edited the "statusbar_background" and 3 "status_bar_" png's in framework-res.apk, and pushed it via ADB in recovery.... everything else seems to work fine cept the black notification bar bug when using a regular WP.. Anyone have any idea's?
nvm.. apparently it's a problem with LauncherPro. It seems to resize the wallpaper to NOT go under the notification bar.. Which is normally fine with an opaque bar, but if you use transparent bar, it just fills black where the WP should be
Edit: Okay so it happen with all replacement launchers.. The HTC Sense one and Launcher2 (aka the android one) work fine. but LauncherPro and ADW.Launcher both do it So much for my kickass LeeDrOid theme with LP

I'd still be quite glad to see your theme... It's something that I wanted, a transparent notification bar, just don't have the ps/gimp skills to do it.

Is there any way to change the shortcut size?

Hi, I just upgraded my dell streak to streakdroid 1.8.1 today. Took me quite a while but it was worth it. When I added shortcuts to the desktop, it looks slight ridiculous. The shortcuts looks really far apart from each other. Is there any way of changing it? thx.
If you want to change the size of the icons you can chge the LCD density. If you want he icons closer together try using launcher pro or adw launcher and adding more rows and columnists to the homescreens. I run mine with 8 rows and 7 columns using Adw launcher.
Dell Streak powered by Streakdroid 1.8.1
Also try out desktop visualizer if you want to make shortcuts that take up more than one space

Verizon LG G2 Icons

I know you can change the icons but the choices available arent very good. I also cant stand that application launcher button. I like the stock launcher and have tried nova launcher but nova launcher doesn't have the transparant nav bar. I don't understand why the ATT version has different icons and in my opinion better looking icons. Im hoping for more themes in the future.
have you tried nova launcher with other themes?

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.

[Request] Sense 7 Icons

I'm looking for the default app drawer and folder background icons from the Sense 7 launcher. The app drawer button I'm looking for consists of 9 small circles in a square shape, and the folder icon is square in shape with a dark, semi-transparent background. Basically what the M9 launcher uses out-of-the-box. This thread mentions how to pull those icons out of a stock Sense ROM. I'm looking for these to be in PNG format so they are usable in Nova Launcher. Thanks!
