To easily get Text Icons if you're using ADW, just follow the steps below:
1. Go to the Market, click the search icon and type in "TextIconCreater For ADW" then download and install it.
(I know creator is spelled wrong but that's how it's spelled on the Market)
2. Put whatever icon you want on the homescreen or the dock.
3. Long press the icon and click "Edit"
4. Click on the icon, then click "ADWTheme IconPacks"
5. Click "TextIconCreater For ADW"
From here you change multiple things, text, text size, text color, gradient, text alpha, text font, add a mirror effect, background, background color, background gradient, background alpha or make the background another icon.
It's a nice little tool to have which is also how I got my homescreen to look like this below.
Battery widget is "BattStatt"
Clock Widget is "TypoClock"
