Eclair Icons On 2.1 - Droid Eris Themes and Apps

so i was wondering right..id like to keep the original UI and just switch the icons to the Eclair set.
now i know u can use "bettercut", but "bettercut" doesnt exactly work with stock UI's.
any suggestions?
Thanks!

I didn't really like how bettercut handled shortcuts, but when we have root you'd be able to switch icons as you please

aHome and Bettercut to ever work together?

I'm sure most people are having the same thoughts and issues as I'am with Bettercut and aHome. They like Bettercut but want to use aHome with it and cant at the momement.
I know for me its I want to support aHome but than the money I paid for Bettercut is wasted. If the aHome devs could either 1) Include a feature like Bettercut to simply change the icon. Or 2) Make Bettercut work with aHome. Open Home dev(s) could either 1) Make a dock bar like aHome/iPhone (the slide out dock is crap imo, its a hit or miss for me to drag it out...it looks ugly) Or 2) Make Bettercut work with aHome. I'm sure if one or more of those things would happen sales could increase for each dev.
Maybes its me, I dunno. Whichever one gets it first is gonna get money for sure.
So the question is: Does anybody know if they are working it out, is it even possible for the two to coexist on android? Any future devs maps for each app?
im pretty upset about this too, just seconds ago i bought bettercut and i have ahome, which is way cleaner, more functional, overall better UI than any other home app. but to my damn surprise bettercut doesnt work with ahome. This is lame. refund?
If we cant have better cut / ahome combo, then maybe someone can make an app that does what bettercut can do for ahome? Why does it have to be the same program. Better yet, make ahome change icons as well as names and be able to keep them after restarting the phone. Could be sweet. Oh and the digital clock is now god awful in ahome. Where's white black and gray colors? And the semi transparency. Sorry, a bit off topic. But it had to be said.

Has this been resolved?
The dev of openhome is the same as bettercut... I doubt he would support the competition.
has anyone tried the app any cut? it has similar if not the same functions as bettercut

you can't change icons with any cut. better cut was based off of anycut and then he made it so it won't work with aHome because aHome and open home for the first two major home replacements.
it sucks, but i don't think that this will ever be changed

bigger icons on home screen?

i use bettercut for my desktop icons & i know there has got to be a way to bypass the 48x48pixel rule if you have root. maybe go into the system file & change some script or something? i would like my icons to be likee 60x60. does anyone have some ideas?
come on guys, i know its possible.
search in the market for "bigger icons widget"

Well you might lose some space on the screen.

i don't mind, the iphone has icons that are that size and it works fine.
You can do this, but it would require you to compile from source. I am not experienced enough to walk you through this. I suggest asking cyanogen or enomther.
why would i have to compile from source? theres no xml to edit to just expand the boundaries?

thanks.... i actually did another search.... and i found the vanilla one... it took a while to get it working but i finally got it!!! thanks for the links!
No problem, I remember how frustrating lockbot could get back before I had root. Flashing a rotary lockscreen might have been the thing i wanted root for most

Do you want to replace the icons of the apps you have on your home screen or just move them around?
If you want to replace the icons, the only way I know of is with Tasker. It does so much more than just replace icons.
Im looking to change the icons for the apps to a theme based system.

Remove Clock From Notification Bar - DL30

I updated to the Froyo leak yesterday and I am loving it so far. I ported over my theme, but I don't know how to remove the status bar clock in the corner. I had it removed on DJ05, but I don't know how to port that mod over. Can someone help me?

Thank you so much!! =)
I'd like to have something similar only instead of removing the clock all together, I'd like to just have the AM/PM removed.... Is this doable?
need opposite
Hey is there a flashable zip file that will bring the status bar clock BACK? A lot of the ROMs and Themes have these off and i know some of the themes have versions to flash with or without the clock. But if i flash a theme with a clock but then want a different theme without the option to choose and it doesnt have a clock, it won't stick right?
So is there a way to keep everything i have and just get the clock back?
