The dock icons I found on XDA. "plain white icons", or something like that. The text icons are also from XDA, "Android Font Icons".

You told Soundtrack that the icon label font can be changed in Go Launcher, but not Nova. You CAN change the label font in Nova. You just have to change the system font, and the label font will change with it.

Thanks man :). Didnt know nova had such kool features. Like I placed four app drawer icons in the ball and made them invisible so if i press anywhere on the ball it opens the app drawer. Also If i press the first icon at the top it opens whatsapp but if i swipe up on the same icon it opens kik messenger.

How did you do that? And does anyone know whether one could do that with Apex?

All you have to do is find a blank png icon. Search Google for it. Then when you edit your icon(s), use the blank icon. You'll have what appears to be a clear view of your wallpaper, but clicking the blank icon will open the app you've selected to be in that spot.
Edit... You can do this with any launcher that allows you to change icons. It's not a Nova or Apex function, actually

It is best to fool around and explore yourself, as you get first hand experience with how things work in it. But ill give ya a running head start.

You first have to have Metro station and Nova launcher installed. Not sure about Apex though.
I just placed four app drawer icons next to each other on the grid inside of the wallpaper ball. Do this step for each icon. Long press, select edit, select the icon again in the "edit shortcut" box. Select "icon pack" then metro station, and from there you can choose which icon you want, the colour, or make it opaque or whatever. With the messaging icon i chose the icon i wanted first then long pressed on it, select edit, then select "swipe action" in the "edit shortcut" box. Select which action you want the "swipe" to execute. Doing that If you press the icon it will launch a app and if you swipe, it will launch a different app. Ya should be good from there mate.

Everyone got new nova prime update, small icons and gesture on ANY icon!
Yeeha!
Anyone found "aggressive desktop mode"? Sounds like it gives faster rewrite by caching the desktop?
