Launcher customization

---

Hi,

Anyone know how far we can customize the 5 icons at the bottom of the home launcher?

I saw in one video that we can replace the apps there.

But, is it possible to only change the icon?

With current LauncherPro, I changed all those 5 icons into "text only", which is nice

So, wondering if we can do the same with the stock ICS launcher!

Ummm... The phone is not our yet.

no, there is no plain text option.

you can replace the 4 apps, but not the middle settings button. you can put folders (groups of apps) in the 4 spots as well. and re-arange the order in the folders. the 1st program in the folder has the top icon displayed first.

Well, I did not mean "plain text", but changing the icon of the apps in that bottom bar.

Only the icon ...

If this is not possible, is there any way to achieve this?

Like, creating an app with custom icon to launch other app

There is an app on the market to change an applications icon but I don't know how well it works or how it would work with the nexus.

Stock Android Launchers do not have the facility to do what you are asking.

Mark.

Use desktop visualizer from the market

i dare say that once the source is released someone will customise the ICS launcher like GO, LPP, ADW etc have done with current stock android launcher (I hope)

Unless the launcher dock allows widgets on it which I doubt many if these apps that you can change icons with won't work. They create a widget on your homescreen that is a shortcut to that app. this is why you find these apps in the widget section when adding them to your homescreen

I was wondering this too.. it seems like something along the lines of Better Cut would work. It makes a shortcut on your desktop to the app using a custom icon... I would think you could then drag that onto the quick launch bar.

Yupe, I really really hope so this will work.

I don't like to have multi colored icons down there!
