ru.launcher has been updated. Icons can be changed!

[Atomix]

I thought I'd start a new thread for this, because I've read several posts regarding this topic, so here it goes.
As of 7th august, 2010, you can use your own customized icons with the updated ru.launcher (if somebody doesn't know yet, it is the launcher that comes with the softroot).

You can download the updated version here:
http://nookdevs.com/Mynook.ru_Launcher

I have also written instructions on that wiki page on how to use your own icons. (Along with the full icon name list on the bottom part of the page).

I tested this version myself and everything worked just perfectly. If you encounter any errors or require assistance, just post here, I'll look into it.


I have created my very first icon, which replaces nook market's icon. (As far as I know, every downloaded application has a very ugly looking icon in this launcher, that is because those icons were made solely for the other launcher (nookLauncher)) So I intend to create an icon for every downloaded application

Seems to be new versions of
NookLibrary
NookFileManager

A totally new app
NookTaskManager

But no update notes on anything.

I'm trying to design a circular set of buttons, but can't find the names for them anywhere
for example the "reading now" button ... what to call it?
activity.reading.now.png ???


Sample button

You can find the full list of <activity_names> by opening application manager (you can download it using nook market) in nook, there should be all icon names listed, just without .png extension.

I have written out most of the activity names, check this page:

choice of two for the reader app

com.ereader.android.nook.ReaderActivity.png
com.bravo.ereader.activities.ReaderActivity.png

Neither changed the "now reading" icon ........

com.bravo.ReadingNow.png
com.bravo.ReadingNow_focus.png

Sorry, this icon wasn't listed, but now I added it to wiki page.
