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.

Is there away to replace the icons on my tilt? I dont like the plain icons that are pre-installed for the camera and other applications. Just wondering how I go in and change those. Like I saw a really cool 3G icon that could replace the plain 3G icon pre-loaded. How do I switch them out?
i would like to know too.

Is it possible to change the icon label backgrounds on sense ui to transparent?
Specifically for sprint hero?
thanks
Yes, it is possible.
You can recolor all Icons of Hero.
But it's lot of work. I'll try it some times, but still didn't like it.
If you can play with Gimp and 7-Zip and have any time, you could try it.
The original Icons are black at background. You can make the black background transparent.
But then it looks awful.

this gave me an idea, but i was wondering when you say alot of work, are you saying you have to do each icon seperatly? or is there a common one in the framework and then the widgets to add on?
thanks!
I think, we talk about the Icons above at the Bar with WiFi, Network e.g.
Or? If not, i must say sorry.
This icons are very very small *.png
Man of the icons are in the framework-res, some others are in the apps, too.
I want to do it, did about 20 icons. Now, I don't feel like to do it.
It's an awful and tiny work.
oh alright thanks, i thought he ment the icons on the 7 home page never mind!
I am talking about the regular icons, like browser or camera
oh lol wow sorry, well yes its possible, iv seen 1x1 wigets with the transparent background, but the rest of the icons had the grey/black background...
im assuming that every app developer doesnt have to make it or add it in so it must be in the framework.. il look through quickly see if i can find it
no luck sorry, but yes its definitely possible
Sorry for that! ;-)
This is definately possible.
Ahome is a program that allows you to do this and even change to any colour you want.
Just a simple process I beleive, it's a shame we couldn't take the Ahome application without having to use the whole program as it replaces your desktop a bit lke GDE.
I found a nice black and white theme but I absolutely loathe themed icons. First of all, since not every single icon is themed (there is always some odd program that does not get themed), second, I'm used to the standard look of icons and when all of them are square and monochrome I can't tell what's what, third and most importantly, when only some are themed and others aren't it just looks like crap.
So, is there some way to use a theme but not have it reskin the icons?
I can't believe I'm the only one who doesn't like when themes also change the icons for default programs.
Try using a stock adw theme, like a stock gingerbread theme or something. Thats what I do when I don't like the icons that come with a Cyanogenmod theme.
I'm looking for a transparent, "glassy" theme for CM7; I'd like the status/ notification bare to be transparent and look "glassy".
Additionally, I'm curious if there's an icon pack anywhere with "glass" icons. Specifically, I want ones that look similar to the base Go Launcher Ex icons (no border), but transparent/ glassy-looking.
Anyone know of anything like this?
Try searching glaskart.

There's a glaskart go launcher theme on the market too
Sent from my DHD
That's not quite the look I was hoping for, but I guess it would do until I find something closer. Problem is, it appears that theme only works for MIUI; I'm really not looking to switch from CM7. Plus, the Go Launcher theme only has a handful of icons.
I had a bit of a search on the web and xda developers,but can't seem to find what im looking.Tryung to find out what the stock icon sizes are for the htc one on Jellybean 4.2.2?I would like to add ios 5.1.1/6 icons (120x120) over the top of my exsisting apps,but i dont want to run launchers or different roms,very happy with 4.2.2and Sense 5.Please be gentle,this is my first Android phone,and still trying to get my head around things
Cheers

72x72 & 144x144 .. In apks they seem to be 72x72 but they won't change unless you decompile and sign them from my personal experience. In some of the framework files, the icons for system apps such as calendar, camera, phone etc, they're 144x144.
This isn't concrete as far as where each size dwells but they are the two sizes I've come across for apps.
So if i were able to put the 120x120 aplle icons over android apps,would it end up looking weird,as in weird shadows under the icons,etc?

What do you mean putting them over android apps? You'd obviously have to replace them and if I were you I'd resize them to be the same dimensions but it shouldn't matter that much as it's not like ****ty Apple with their stupid masks that leave a black shadow around Icons, especially noticeable when using non-square icons.
The one thing to note is that if you plan to change the icons for things like camera, phone, gallery etc, the icons are 72x72 in the app but 144x144 in htc.resources.apk. If you don't make the icons the same sizes then you will end up with tiny icons on your homescreen but normal ones on the lockscreen. For example, if you change the phone icon then you have to put a 144x144 icon in htc.resources.apk otherwise it won't be the correct size.
