NOTICE: Let me make something 100% clear before you read on. I take NO and I mean NO credit for developing this launcher! I only did some minor editing to it, did not develop it.

This is not something really all that special, however I thought I'd share for anyone who's interested. Being as battery conscience as I am I recently turned to the launcher Zeam for a light launcher that wouldn't strain the battery. Although it is not the most customizable launcher in the world, it definitely is easy on the battery. Hence why the battery freindly rom Slim ICS uses Zeam as its default launcher for example. The thing is... the app drawer button on the dock bothers me. The window pane looking button kills the ICS vibe in my opinion. Thus I edited the most recent version of the Zeam launcher to give the app drawer button & home button a more ICS feel.

In the above screenshot I'm using the "Dark fade" dock background and my application grid is set to "193" transparency. The search bar and clock widget seen in the screenshot can be found/downloaded in the Add Ons section below.

Just download and install like a normal .apk; simple as that! Hope you enjoy!

I've never really preferred Zeam and that was the reason why. After i moved onto ICS I couldn't go back to the GB looking appdrawer/dock icons..
Thanks for this man, i'll actually try it out.

Will you be updating this with every new Zeam version out? That sounds painful.

Glad you like it! I'm going to do my best to keep it updated with each new version. Especially since it's really not all that hard. Just a few icon changes and then I resign the .apk... Zeam doesn't seem to be updated that frequently anyways. So unless my laziness gland starts acting up, it'll be updated.

@N00B_IN_N33D, I have always used Zeam. It's light and quick. Thank you very much for "ICS-ing" up the Zeam launcher.

Texas!
Great job!

Hey...thanks for this. I've used Zeam on and off since my G1 days.

Quick question for you...the minimalist search box. Is it a complete standalone replacement for stock Google Search or is there a dependency?

Sorry for the delayed response sisterchick. Actually it's not the "Minimalistic Text" app that you want, it's the "(Tiwiz) ICS Search Bar" app that you want. The Minmalistic Text app can be seen in the left screenshot in the OP; it's what shows the date in a text format. Now back on the topic of the ICS Search Bar, no, it is not a replacement for the stock Google Search. Once you click on the widget it will just open the phone's Google Search app. If you click on the widget's microphone button it will open the phone's Google Voice Search app.

I like the "lightness" of Zeam Launcher, thank you for improving on it. Is there a way for Zeam to be able to lock screen edit? My kid plays with my device and oftentimes deletes/moves icons by accident.
