LauncherPro: Change dock icons size?

Hey guys,
i'm having a "problem" with launcherpro. Is there any possibility to change the size of the dock icons? I'm using the same icons as on the home screen but they are displayed smaller in the dock and i can't seem to change it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

LauncherPro resizes icons on the dock.
You can create a dock with your icons and use a transparent png.

But then i won't be able to use stuff like the new message counter right?

Well of course you'd be able to use it.. Why wouldn't you? :S
You do the exact same thing you normally do.
- Create a dock in Photoshop, like the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Apply it (Menu > Prefrences > Apperance settings > Dock background > Custom
- Add the shortcut you want (example) I want the app-drawer to show up when I press "APP launcher" on my dock
- So I long press "APP launcher" on my dock and choose appdrawer from Applications
- Choose custom icon and use a transparent PNG.
You don't lose any functionality. I don't see why you'd think that.

Thanks a bunch for the help!
What i ment was the positioning of the counter. It will be at the top right of the transparent.png and not on the top right of the custom docks logos. Thats what i meant. But i guess it should work fine
Thanks!
*edit*
Oh and one more thing. Is it possible to change the icon of a folder? Or is it only possible in the pro+ version?

[LAYOUT] Scrolling Dock Banner/Icon (Howto)

Ok, so few people asked me how I placed a Banner like Icon in-place of my dock. I wanted to answer directly but thought why not share it with everyone else. So here a tutorial on how to do it.
First, this is how it looks like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And a demo Vid
If you think its cool, then read on.
It's fairly easy, but quite tricky. Here we go.
What you need:
Launcher Pro
Banner/Icon (Template links later)
Desktop Visualizer
1. Set your home-screen row to 7 (for a 6 row home-screen setup). (This seems to be the most efficient value for me)
2. Now add a desktop visualizer 4x1 widget
3. With desktop visualizer, select your desired banner/template as your image and set the action as none (as seen on the video below)
4. Place the new widget on the bottom most part of your home-screen.
5. Now back to LPP preferences, set your home-screen row back to 6.
6. Might take long to load but there you have it, a scrolling banner on your dock.
Notes:
I believe you can use any number of homescreen rows from 4 up to 9 but I havent tested it yet and I only have a template for a 6 row homescreen.
In the video, I used a 5 column x 6 row setup opposed to the 4 x 6 setup on the tutorial to lessen the changes from stock layout.
forgot to mention, for best results, use transparent dock ang dock-shortcut icons.
Banner templates:
4x1 (right click and "save as")
5x1 (right click and "save as")
The Grey part is what the dock covers, blank part should always stay transparent. Just paste your banner over the gray part and make sure that nothing overlaps then delete the grey part entirely.

Cant seem to make youtube link to work, just click here and here to watch the vids

Thanks for the tut. You gave me an Idea on a cool homescreen. Mind sharing the text icons used on the vid?

[TILES][WP7][Metro UI]

Recently the "Metro UI" Launcher in the market has vastly improved save the fact of disappointing amounts of icons, and real proportion in relation to the actual Metro UI.
I've compiled the best white on blue icons for my use, along with full color tiles (WP7 isn't ALL blue tiles with white icons) using the "use image as background" option in the Metro UI selection interface.
To make use of these icons:
Step 1) Extract folder to Internal/External SD card on Android handset
Step 2) When Adding corresponding tile check "Image as background"
Step 3) For "Select Icon" choose "custom" then click select Icon
Step 4) Use file manager of choice to go to directory where icons where extracted
Step 5) Choose and enjoy!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10275021/Metro UI.rar
Now I present my current Interface
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Attached are the mentioned icons
Enjoy!

The tiles for Phone, texts, and gmail are set as icon and not image

they look nice, testing them out now. would it not be easier to make them transparent pngs so the user can still use their own colour? or doesn't metro ui liek png's?

I would, save the fact that metro ui automatically resizes icons to a smaller size not proportional, and big like the actual WP7 Metro UI

this thread is very similar in nature with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913747

With different icons though
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Would you guys like the transparent icons?

Launcher 7 works very well also

I think Metro UI is smoother (like slide for app drawer, the app listing looks better) and it's just more "professional"

hey guys wanted to say this looks really good. im using metro ui pro and i was wondering if someone could make a dungeon wonders icon for a 1x1 tile with whole image as the background.
thanks in advance.

HTC Sense Weather Widget BACKGROUND

Hey I'm looking for the HTC sense weather widget blue grid background(s) but I just can't seem to find them, I've downloaded two different sense ROMs that have them but can only find the icons.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have a feeling they could be located in a .m10 file called: Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10
Does anyone know where I can locate it, or if I can open up .m10 files and get the image I can only get the text of them so far, looking around for different tutorials.
---
found a tutorial, but still having trouble.

For you
Day
Morning
Night

BTW you can use the Wallpaper Changer from the Google Play to change morning, day and night wallpapers according to the set times.
Does someone know the changing times of the lock screen wallpapers?
And just for the record: in the above post the day wallpaper is morning and vice versa.

Thanks for your help. For future reference in case someone is searching for the same question, the reason why it didn't work is because the M10 Editor that I was using can't decompile Sense 4.0 at this time - so I used Sense 3.0 files.

I've been using Tasker to change the wallpaper at different time (can't do lockscreen wallpaper AFAIK), I only set up two wallpapers though but I made the wallpapers the right dimensions for my phone - HD2 obviously and I'm NexusHD2 with the DPI set to 192 (not sure if it makes a difference to wallpapers (don't think so).
So you just need to disable wallpaper scrolling.
This pack has the three wallpapers 960x800 4.39 MB

Thanks gonne try this with tasker for the nice effect what you got on your hd2

How To Set Wallpapers Correctly? (Tried WallpaperWizardrii and PicSpeed)

Anyone know a way to set wallpapers correctly?
I've tried WallpaperWizardrii which used to work well for me before I hid my notification bar (Apex Launcher). Ever since I hide my notification bar, it seems like WallpaperWizardrii doesn't realize that I hide the notification bar so it doesn't cover that part of the screen with my wallpaper leaving a black bar at the top where the notification would be if it were not hidden.
I've also tried PicSpeed which does correctly cover the whole screen but the problem is that PicSpeed seems to have some problem with gradients in wallpapers. For example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This wallpaper's (and many others) gradient looks fine on WallpaperWizardrii (but doesn't cover notification bar) but looks like crap on PicSpeed.
Right now my temporary solution is to use this app called Zedge which is a wallpaper stash app kinda thing. However, there is no option to set a wallpaper using Zedge so what I have to do is download a bunch of wallpapers in the Zedge app and then connect my phone to my computer and go to the folder where Zedge keeps it's downloaded wallpapers and replacing those wallpapers with my own by renaming my own wallpapers with the names of the downloaded Zedge wallpapers. That obviously is a hassle and the wallpaper thumbnails and previews in the Zedge app are still those of the old wallpaper's so that makes it hard to keep track of which wallpaper is which.
Is it really this hard to set a wallpaper right?

Once you download wallpapers from Zedge (or anywhere else I imagine, including transferring files via USB) they should show up in the Gallary app. Go there and find what you want to use. Using the expand button there should be a "Set picture as" option that lets you use it as a Wallpaper or a Contact's picture.

Try "quickpic" from playstore. I had the same problem and quickpic worked for me.
