You're referri g to the dock icons...those are very easy...assuming you use launcherpro... you gotta download the icons you want, place them on your sdcard, and then:
Long-press on the dock shortcut you want to change...you will get the option to either change shortcut or change icon...

@NATTYBEE is there any place in particular that you might be able to direct me to be able to find those icons?

I'm not sure...I suggest searching Google...I have some icons I extracted from an ADW theme on market...

I ended up downloading the Goodies Pack from Dark Android Designs (its at the bottom of the page) That has tons of icons, and docks for launcher pro that work very well with the color scheme of DarkSlide

You need to go into root explorer find the appwidgetpicker.apk and change the permissions to match the other apks in the folder.
then reboot your phone

Ok...long press on the desktop...In your popup should be the option to add a shortcut, or add a launcher action, or something to that effect...somewhere there you will find the app launcher...I forget the exact name, as I don’t use ADW any longer...
Anyhow, you can create a shortcut to your app drawer on the desktop...then just long press on that...and drag it to your dock bar (the little bar whereyou can put apps)...

I hope this helps
