Default Apps icons help

Anyway to get rid of the clear boxes surrounding the application icons without root? I think it's ugly and it bothers me...

I was going to try to remove them with NinjaMorph from Stericson, but the phone just reboots during initial checks. I am running slidemeroot2.

Dude you mind posting the signed apk with out them? I can't find my folder with my signing tool. I'm searching for what I used to use on the forums. Also I'm guessing to install you did it with adb install (or did you push) to system/app? ..mounted in recovery of course

I'd say your best bet without root would be to try adw launcher or launcher pro. probably the easiest route, anyway.

Like Mayormullet said, LauncherPro will do just want you want and give you a more useful menu bar. I can't live without it.

ADW will too, but I didn't like it as much.
