Or, since our tablet is a beast, use these 3 apps, it's longer for sure, but once you get the hang of it you go very fast and you can just change things the way you want them:

1) Nova Launcher to be able to create an icon allowing you to jump to any screen (although almost every launcher have this feauture nowadays)
2) Simple text to create the text icons
3) Minimalistic Text I only use this to superpose the blackened bar on the text cause, well, it just looks cooler that way

First of all, you need to allow the launcher to overlay widgets (all advanced launchers do this it's just an option to activate in the settings) after that, what you do is create the action to jump to a certain screen and replace the icon by a transparent one (ADW.Elegant icon pack has some for example) so it becomes invisible, then you use Simple text to create the text to overlay on top of the action, my advice is to save the template for every white text (since you're going to use them a lot) and just save one template for the red one (that you will reuse and modify) after that all you've got to do is overlay all the widgets on top of each other and put all but the jump action in the background.

I learned everything on the subject by refering to this tutorial HUBS so all props go to fliparsenal, however be warned that if you go with ADW Launcher, you will loose your scrollable widgets (I spent a lot of time starting my hubs on this until I realized none of my widgets were scrolling by themselves).
I decided to go with Nova launcher mainly for two reasons, it felt really fast to use (at first the screen transitions from ADW seem a lot better but it gets old eventually and Nova just snaps into place on your new screen) and it allows you to place widgets on top of each other and directly send them to the front or back via longpress menu, this is a huge bonus with any hubs setups (and you don't need to go around extending widgets then reducing them again just to have them overlap).

I wont lie, making your first screen is tedious, but once you get the hang of it, you can really start making some pretty awesome homescreens and setups.

Enjoy,
Shadow did you use Nova or ADWEx Launcher? I keep switching back and forth between the two and can't decide which one to setup my HUBS with.

With Nova can you easily make the blackened bar go right to the edge of the screen? I was having an issue with ADWEX and had to go to an earlier version to get this to work so still not sure which one to use.

I think the features of Nova with being able to move things to the front and back will ultimately be easier than fiddling around with ADW.

Really looking to finish something similar to what you have done and as per the tutorial videos but need a push to which launcher to use.

I got as far as having everything setup as per the second video and then reread the frst post and realised i could have saved a lot of time by just using the simple text icons so I ditched all my work and have been starting again.

Any help or suggestions on which way to go would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Q

Thanks! I used the Tha Metro Premium White for the folders and Tha Project Glass for the dock on Nova Prime. You can download the hi-res icons by long pressing on them within the Tha Ultimate Icon Pack

Lots of different styles, but the ones I used cost $2.00. The nice thing is these get continually updated so I don't have to keep hunting icon threads over at the Android Apps and Themes section for updates lol

Till now fully stock (stock rom, unrooted). I want to get the official JB update before unlocking the bootloader.

So here my 50 cents:
