desktop icons without text

[esthernrob]

for those of you who prefer or would like to just see how it would look, here is a method that i use to remove the text from under your icons...FYI - this will only remove the text from the desktop, not your app drawer.
1. obtain Folder Organizer from the market. i am using 3.0.2. i have not upgraded to the latest, this version works just fine for what i want it to do.
2. it is a good idea to have a written list of the icons you want to change and remove these from your desktop before proceeding, or you can remove and replace each one at a time.
3. upon opening FO, goto SHORTCUTS
4. press the + circle at the top, choose APPS
5. select the app that you want to modify, (remove text) - (ignore "rename" and "icon" on the right)
6. repeat steps 4 and 5 for all the apps you want to change.
7. exit FO
8. long press on your desktop where you want your icon
9. choose "widget"
10. choose "Folder Organizer item"
11. scroll down and choose "Shortcuts"
12. *IMPORTANT* UNCHECK "SHOW TEXT UNDER ICON"
13. select your icon
14. repeat steps 8 thru 13 for each icon
that's it. i think i got all the steps. i really like the look of my desktop without the text. you might too...
let me know if i missed anything or it's not working for you and i'll try to help..
i'm sure there may be more ways of doing this out there but this one is simple and effective...

Folder organizer is an awesome app. This is also a feature in launcher pro plus. Lpp requires less steps to accomplish the same end result.

Great write up!
