This is how I did it.
From the market download:
Simple Text
Desktop Visualizer
Open simple text and design your icon. Click on create new or use one of the pre loaded layouts. I used create new, and selected 128x128. Then just mess around making it, its not to hard. Once your done save our image using the menu button in lower right corner.
Open desktop Visualizer and select icon. Choose the icon from your gallery. Then click on select action, it will open up a list of your apps, select the corresponding app/action. It will then place the icon on your home page.
I hope that helps anyone thats interested.
