Also, I believe I will have to hide the labels of the icons on my home screens using my Launcher Pro settings right?
Please let me know if it is possible. Looking forward to hear from you.

I will get started as soon as possible. Today's a pretty busy day but it's no problem at all!
You dont have to hide icon labels to get the dock&icons to work. The labels Launcher Pro is referring to is, say for instance you added an application shortcut to the homescreen, It would hide the name that would appear under it.
Thanks for your donation and support!

I am referring to the text labels underneath the shortcuts I create on the Home Screen. Yes on the dock, LauncherPro hides the labels.
My issue is I see text labels underneath each shortcut on the Home Screen. This is what I am doing.
1) I use FolderOrganizer Lite to assign your icons to each app I have. So lets say I have Astro File Manager app and I assign your icon "ASTRO FILE MANAGER" to it.
2) I then long press on the open area on my home screen and select shortcuts and Folder Organizer item.
3) I select Apps under Choose Items List.
4) I select ASTRO as the item.
This way it creates shortcut with your icon on the Home Screen but I still see text labels underneath each icon. So it looks like "ASTRO FILE MANAGER" as icon with "ASTRO" as text label or caption underneath. Only way I can get rid of that label is go Menu-Preferences-Appearance Settings-Uncheck Hide icon labels. It restart my Launcher Pro and then I don't see text labels underneath my icons.
Please advise. Am I missing something here? Are other people doing differently about their icons on the Home Screen. (I am not referring to any shortcuts on the docks)
Also, you are welcome! I am excited that you started working on my icons. Thanks a bunch. Looking forward to it when you finish it at your convenience..
OOH, I think I understand now. Yes, choosing hide icon labels SHOULD remove the "astro" text from underneath the icon.
When I originally created the icons I didn't intend for them to be used on the home screen though, (they were/are intended for the dock).
If there is a setting that is overriding LauncherPro's "hide setting", it's most likely coming from FolderOrganize. The only suggestion I can make for using these icons as homescreen shortcuts and not dock buttons is to use Desktop Visualizer. Then you could longpress the home screen, select widget/desktop visualizer (size) and assign the icons that way (just be sure to leave the "label" space blank.
In this screen shot that is the method I am using BUT i'm using icons I've created (not included in the pack) to achieve that effect.
Hopefully this post was of some help to you.
Thanks again! I've updated the original link with the new icons included, I think it now over 200+ icons in the pack!
Here is the additions (some are unlisted) and the folder they can be found in

Thank you very much. Man you were quick. I will add another donation since you worked on my specialized request you know..!
Also thanks for that additional tip about desktop visualizer. I will check now. So do you think it will look cool if I replace all my shortcuts icons with your text icons for those shortcuts on my Homescreen too? What do you think?
No problem, thanks - thanks alot!
I attached the icons below. Enjoy!
Hmm, I think it really comes down to personal preference. Using backgrounds with alot going on I feel like THESE icons would be hard to read. I'm hoping to release a Zune-like pack of larger icons sometime later though...

I gave you another donation! Hope that helps!
What I was trying to achieve is a Minimalism effect. Sometimes I want my desktop not to clutter with icons and labels. May be I want sometime to be a warm background with these TEXT icons which are simplistic. I thought this is very unique and modern look. When someone sees my Evo, first thing they will ask is Wow, that is something different and second thing they will ask is how the heck did you get those icons. I will surely guide them to you so that you can continue to get donations! I am also using TAJM clock which has words for time and date to blend well. It's always better to have few icons packs to shuffle the homescreens based on mood you know!
Now I do love your Zune like larger icons. I will buy them from you on a heart beat! When do you intend to release that? I was lucky to see your post yesterday on androidforums and I sometime worry I may miss your next release unless I visit this forum daily! LOL.
Do you have any good backgrounds you can share? What do you think about your zune icon example background for these TEXT icons?
I gotta say, i like your style!
I cant give a DEFINITE release date on the zune icons (I'm moving back on campus tommorow morning so...you know) but I'm thinking maybe a week or two. It all depends on mood/motivation/school. I'll be sure to PM you when I do release it though. FYI: I create the icons myself though, it's the small (and many) tweaks I make (the shadows, sizes, etc) that separate the zune ones from these. ANYHOO, I'm excited about this next pack also! Till then
Mint! Enjoy

I am a developer too. I was contemplating between iphone v/s android. I have an iPad and Evo and I chose Android development afterall. So in few months I should be able to start making apps once I get time from work..
Btw, do you have this background in the picture you shown earlier? I might see if your TEXT icons can look good on them.

Well good luck on your Zune icon project and hopefully I should see some new icons! May be I can mix - your existing TEXT icons on 3 docks and Zune icons on homescreens. I think it will look awesome!
Are you going to use the same thread then to update?
Good Luck with the developing! I downloaded the SDK and all that good stuff but never found the time to learn it all.
Link to Wallpaper. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all comes out

I saved the Ninjas Live and Call Wife ones, but they don't match up with the other ones from your zip file? The background is white and not black like the others? Did I save it wrong?
::edit:: - never mind; I figure out that I have to click on it to have it pop up and then save the icon. Great job again!

I am almost done replacing my homescreen icons with yours. Looks really good so far. Very different for sure..
Can I ask a small favor? I know you are moving this weekend but whenever you get a chance if you send me two things:
Another icon for my smartshortcuts I made called:
Camera Apps
And the wallpaper you have in your first post the name which has blue words saying ELN.. or something. I liked that wallpaper if you can share!
LuvArabians
Newbie
Could you make an icon for Bookmarks? I'm making a shortcut file with LauncherPro and would love to be able to use one of your icons.
Thanks!
Thanks!
