You CAN change the dock icons on the free version of Launcher Pro. But if you are referring to being able to change the icons on the Home screen but NOT on the dock (without Desktop Visualizer or Smart Shortcuts or Folder Organizer) then I am not sure...

DOES the paid version of Launcher Pro allow you to change non-dock Home page icons or does one STILL need DV, SS and/or FO??

The paid version allows you to change home page icons. Long press on the screen to add an app, select app, then an 'edit shortcut' box will appear. Press the icon the change it. It also allows you to change the name of the icon.

Found some text icons I liked for my dock, tweaked the font color to complement my wallpaper and added some icons above the text on the dock so it was easier to see what button I was tapping on in some circumstances and came up with this:

I might change some things around, maybe add some more icons to the text...

Whatcha all think??

By the way, all the text on the page is created with Minimilistic Text widget by Devmil

What are these vertical date/weather/clock widgets....cant find them anywhere. Thanks in advance for any help.

I know that the above weather is a Beautiful Widgets skin, however, is there ANY weather widget that has customizable color for the information that is presented?? I'm looking for a 1x1 weather widget that would provide the current weather (or whatever customized weather options it might have) but where I can take it and customize the COLOR with RGB or HEX to compliment whatever color theme I have.

Here's an example...I took the above widget, screen-shot and cropped it, painted it to get this:

Is there any weather widget that isn't skinable but you can customize the the color of??

THANKS!!

Skins for Beautiful Widgets are extremely easy. When you download a skin they go in your "data"-> "beautifulwidgets" folder (mine saves to my SD card). All of the .png image files are right there. Just copy them to your computer, change them to the color you need, and put them back in that folder. You can even rename each folder (and the respective text file in that folder) to your liking to keep it separate from the original.

That's all I did with the "Debossed" and "Flat_Carved" weather skins that I made. I used Simien's Flat Black weather skin and applied a style to it in Photoshop.

Hope this helps!

Sound like a good idea but I have a follow up question. Forgive me because I do NOT have Beautiful Widgets installed, hence the (perhpas ignorant) question...

The "skins" for the Beautiful weather widget won't change the wallpaper I have on my phone right?? They are merely skins FOR THE WIDGET itself...be it 1x4 or 1x1 or whatever size I choose to use, correct??

With some of the screenshots it looks as if the ENTIRE HOME SCREEN is a "theme" of some sort INCLUDING the widgets. I just want to change the WIDGET color as I am hoping your suggestion will do.

THANKS!
