Hey guys a quick question. With all the icons in the way on the main background page I find it's difficult to get a cool background that can be seen. Anyway my question is: is there a way to move the icons around? Like as opposed to the main page having four (4) icons per row, is there a way to move some of those icons to the side of the screen, etc. so that we can see the wallpaper/background picture in the middle more?

I hope this makes sense....

I'm not too familiar with these kind of things but I though that maybe there is a hack for it or something because I would really like to see my background & have the icons around the sides (border), etc.
 
The only option that I know of, and that I can suggest, is to install summerboard.app from installer.app. Then turn on the "Skip Last Row" option so you only have a 3X4 application layout per page. Otherwise I guess you could make dummy applications with no icons, put them on you're touch, rearrange the springboard .plist and do it like that. Could work I guess.

Hmm, but will that be able to clear up icon spaces, like the OP is asking? I thought customize only enables themes like backgrounds and icons.
