I use apex launcher with a custom theme pack that changes the icons. But on the lock screen the icons are the default ones so it makes it look weird when you transition from the lock screen to the phone screen.
They don't change because the lockscreen is part of the system not the launcher you use. Same reason why when you go to the multitasking screen the icons there aren't changed. There is an app called icon themer that changes your stock icons. Search it up and good luck!

Thanks, but my device isn't rooted. Oh well guess I'll just wait and hope it will be supported eventually.

You can use a custom lock screen app to change your lock screen like widget locker - no root required.
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?

Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
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!
Android 6.0.1
Google Launcher
Material Theme from Samsung store applied
Some icons (gallery, phone, messages) appear as touch wiz icons and not as applied theme
I think themed icons from Sammy themes only work with touchwiz launcher. I use this excellent little app to change icons: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger It changes the Icons on your screen by creating a shortcut but doesn't change it in the app drawer though.

thanks will have a look...
dunno, with Lollipop behaviour was erratic: recently for sure the icons were the themed ones at the beginning they were the samsung ones, but I am not sure what had changed to cause the switch from samsung to themed icons

Personally I'm waiting for CM 13 for our device (sigh!)
Personally i'm never big on the OEM looks on any phone. I always like to have some personalisation on any phone i have.
I try to keep things simple.
Launcher - Nova Launcher prime
Icon pack - Whicons
Wallpaper - not sure where i found it.
But i'm trying to find a nice weather widget that goes with it. I usually use the Yahoo one but theres some issues with the location name not appaearing as it should but as a basic small black text.
Launcher - nova launcher
Icons - pixel icons
Wall - I can't remember
Nova launcher with each icon in similar colours chosen from different packs.

Nova Pixelated
I like the simplicity of the pixel launcher but I want the versatility of the Nova launcheer. So I combine both and this what I get.
Using Arrow launcher, standard Icon pack that comes with it and I use wallpaper changer that changes my wallpaper on every unlock or double tap. Got 100+ images in my folder
Edit: oh yea and a nice PlayStation theme for the navigation buttons and PlayStation sounds

Nothing fancy
The homescreen design built in KLWP was a preset I got from the play store that I just edited for personal use. I didnt create all elements of the KLWP preset. I also merged 2 presets together. Just wish I could hide the navigation bar on Nova Launcher like I had on my Z2 which I used root for.
Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime
Lockscreen Wallpaper: Static Kingdom Hearts Wallpaper
Home Screen Wallpaper: KLWP Live Wallpaper
Background: Kingdom Hearts Static Wallpaper
Dynamic Live Weather which moves across the screen
Interactive wallpaper so that icons can be selected to open apps
Tried to make it as clean as possible
Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime
Lockscreen Wallpaper: Wallpaper from Lines Icon Pack
Home Screen Wallpaper: Lines 44 from Lines Icon Pack
Icons: Lines Icon Pack
Using Nova Launcher Prime, pretty much a clean look with a Pixel sort of theme (nav bar and accent colour)
Update on homescreen, Blue Xperia loops still clean!
