alright this took me forever to figure out the screen capture. never actually did, i got stuck trying to make it download the usb driver thing. finally said screw it i'll skip that step and move on. what do you know it worked anyways. crap, what a waste of time.. lol.
so this is just my first attempt at launcher pro and custom icons. had to resize some of them and made a few myself.
now i just need to figure out my switch widgets and i should be good to go, well good to go for more customizing
anyone know if you can change the clock font color in beautiful widgets, or is it only changeable with skins? anyways i was going for a biomechanical look with all green android colored icons/ clock. i didn't find any green clocks i liked so that changed to yellow.. oh well.

will release some of the resources soon maybe
Lovin' that wallpaper, care to share?
When using Folder Organizer Lite, I see that you can change the icon for the app. Is that what you recommend or is there a way to just set a shortcut with a custom icon?
How do you change the icon using folder organizer? I don't get the change icon option with neither versions of folder organizer. Launcher pro keeps force closing, so I'm back to stock setup until I figure it out.
Thanks.

Um if your using folder organizer lite, you can use all the icons from bettercut/ open home. 98% of icons can be used in folder organizer lite.

What are you doing to make your own icons?
So try uninstalling everything then reinstalling it.
STEP 1
ok now the first page of folder organizer lite says applications yada yada.... those are actual folders you can apply to your home page. if you click on the downwards arrow on the right side of w.e. folder you want to use you get
EDIT LABELS LAYOUT ICONS
Lick on Icons and you get choose app. click Icon packs then hit ok.. and it will automatically load all the icon packs you have. find the icon u want click on it and it changes that folder.
step 2
NOW IF U WANT TO CHANGE INDIVIDUAL APPS
click the second colom in folder organizer lite click downwatd arrow on right side click icons, pick icon packs find icon u want click it and you changed it.
TO PUT ONE ON YOUR SCREEN.
long press home screen
click shortcuts folder organizer ITEMS
apps then pick ur app....
TO PUT FOLDER on home screen
LONG hold homescreen
click shortcuts
folder organizer LABEL
find title of folder YOU ALREADY MADE IN FOLDER ORGANIZER (check step 1)

good guide. But i might recommend adding them to homecreen as a widget instead of shortcut. That way when you change icons in the app they automatically update on the homescreen without recreating all your shortcuts
also for anyone that didnt know. You can save your icon setups in folder organizer. hit menu then export and name your file. to recall it just import it, and restart the phone, boom, just like you left them. I always save my theme before i start editing icons again
look at the post right before yours

The big thing to me is the dock at the bottom. It's scrollable, and you can add your own apps/shortcuts to the dock itself vs Sense's dock which isn't customizable. I got 10 icons between 2 rows along the bottom, and it frees up room on my home screen for a nice clean look.
Beautiful Widgets has alot of different big clock widgets, including ones that look like stock Sense. Plus, you can customize the way each clock widget looks (transparency, font, hide background, etc).
I've never tried adw. It's just user preference i think
problem with putting them down as a widget is that the name of the file isnt hidden anymore.

oh just photoshop... or more like photochop for me. i'm not very advanced with what i was doing. the rubiks cube was cut out of another picture i found. the people icon was a chopped up myspace icon. and then i made a green P for pandora to match the green jelly icons i was using. some of the others i just stretched out by opening the file in PS and hitting control T, then you can stretch, skew or rotate.
i was using a 420 x 420 box as that was the default size from Royalty Free Icons & Clipart Stock Images ~ Icons Etc.
if you look close you can see not all my icons match size perfectly. this was just my first attempt, a little rough.
thanks for posting that folder organizer guide. i didn't notice earlier as i hadn't refreshed my screen since getting home from work.

Yeah I kinda figured. At first I tried to downsize the box of those icons, but then It looked even worse. I was trying to make a set from that link, but It wasn't working out so well. As you can see I lost some definition in them. This is why I asked about how to use icons from the market in the dock.
Thanks for the tip tho, I'll try 80 x 80 next time I venture down that road.
How did you change the color of the top Info bar?
