This is a trick that works using Bettercut/Anycut ...
only on the home screen. If you create new shortcuts (or edit the one's) you put on your home screen, you can use simple spaces (hit the space bar) for each of the icons on your screen. You'll need to put one space in the first icon, two spaces in the 2nd, and so on.
That one has always worked for me, I too like a clean home screen. But a while back, the spacebar didn't seem to do the trick on particular rom. So if that doesn't work, you can do it this way: Start with your first icon, for the name, hold down your ALT key, and while holding it down press the keys in this order (make sure you continue holding down the ALT key during the whole thing): 2 then 5 then 0 (zero). Now release you ALT key. Save that icon and see if it's blank. If it is, then move to the 2nd icon. Again, hold down the ALT key, do the 2 then 5 then 0, release the ALT key. Then, while still in the name, you want to add a 2nd one of those. So do the ALT 250 thing. Save the icon. Move to the third icon. This time you do the ALT 2 then 5 the 0 and release ALT key 3 times. Then on the 4th, you'll do it 4 times. Etc. What you are doing is inserting a blank character each time you do the ATL 250 combination. This trick will work with most fonts used in the home screens. It won't work if you've chosen a theme with crazy fonts. If Bettercut throws up an error message, start over with that icon. It's a bit picky.
Wish I could help you with apps in the drawer. I've wanted to do the same thing too. At this point, I haven't found a way. I'm sure it's possible to do, I'm just not smart enough to figure that one out. But at least your home screen will be very clean looking.
BTW, those tricks only work for program icons. Pretty much anything Bettercut can edit. I haven't had success with Folders or any widgets that name themselves.
