Hi, I have been a Nova Prime user for very long now, but as I change wallpapers almost every other day and I have a huge collection of white background wallpapers it's really hard and sometimes impossible to notice the icon labels. Because the icon labellings are white and the background of the set wallpaper is white too. So I am looking for a launcher which would support icon shadow, or icon label shadow, you know what I mean, something which will go in contrast of my set wallpaper.
Is there any launcher like that? I don't really want a bloated launcher as Go or else, like Nova or Apex would be great.
Thanks in advance.
PS:
In case I have not made myself clear here is an image of the problem I am talking about. Notice the icon labels.

Hi guys, just flashed this theme http://oxygenrom.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14, but I still have the same homescreen buttons.

I want them to show like in this picture.
Would be nice to customize what the shortcuts are too, but I'm interested in that theme.
Any ideas? Thanks
It is possible with custom Launchers. For example, LauncherPro and ADW have this feature. You can find a lot of icons online, but I havn't found these yet. You can also change the dock.
If you can't find the icons, with LauncherPro you could put the image of this dock as your dock background and put invisible shortcuts on top of the buttons. It would work that way, but it would be kind of cheating and wouldn't have any customization options.
EDIT: Ah, didn't read the first part of the post as well as I should have! You have flashed a theme! I don't think the theme came with the launcher bar and icons.
Thanks for the reply pokku. Pretty sure the theme comes with launcher bar, I think they just need enabling. Do you know how to do that?
Hey all,
Attached is a picture of the lockscreen music controls widget that appears when audio is playing.
As great as it is to be able to see and change songs from the lockscreen, there's the terrible, semi-transparent black overlay.

Now, I know this isn't device/rom specific (Same issue on my Note, Note 2 and Note 10.1 across both TW and AOSP/CM), but I'm looking for a way to modify the overlay, to make it completely transparent.
It seems pointless to even have the album art displayed if it's barely visible.
Any help would be excellent.
Thanks.

Well none of my installed widgets (non stock) had that overlay in fact my problem was that the widget (DashClock widget) background was completely transparent. Probably the developers need to implement/tweak options to modify widget look.
i'm running the latest AOKP nightly and apex launcher. i'd like to get rid of the shadow/gradient just above the navigation bar. apex has an option under the homescreen section that says "hide shadows at the top and bottom of the screen", but that doesn't do anything. the shadow also seems to be there in the stock launcher. any thoughts?

You sure its not just part of your wallpaper?
no. every wallpaper. i adjusted the status and nav bar transparency to 0% as well, and you can see the difference easily between what's behind the nav buttons and just above the buttons.
EDIT: Turns out it was the dock background of the Apex theme i was using.
Hello. I just got my P 10 lite, and I noticed that the status/notification bar (that contains the clock, battery, signal icons etc) is changing color matching the color of the application that I'm into. This, in itself, it doesn't bother me that much, but when I open Google Maps it becomes transparent and I can barely read the clock and the other icons, and this is very annoying. Is there a way to make the status bar stay black or some other color? Thank you!

I would suggest to pull down the notification center, I know, it's annoying, but I think there is no solution for this.
I have emui 8.0.0.
I used two themes before, one of them only for its icons, and it didn't affect the app drawer icon nor widgets.
I customized the icons in the Theme app by adding a pink border, it also makes all the icons round.

Recently I tried messing around a bit and editing the themes that I have with hwtTool.
Now it seems like it's impossible to have both the icons I want from A theme, and the app drawer icon from B theme.
Any way to fix this?
From my understanding, the icons shouldn't affect the App drawer, because the App drawer uses the file in com.huawei.android.launcher and not the icons file.
