In the realm of Custom Launchers for Android devices, Go Launcher Ex is perhaps one of the most popular and most widely used launchers. It offers a host of customization options, which are not possible with the stock launchers, as well as the ability to apply hundreds of themes, paid as well as free, which can be easily downloaded from the Android Market.

XDA member ramzixp has just released an ICS inspired theme for Go Launcher Ex. It is available for download from the Android market. While the theme does’nt have a lot of true ICS icons, the developer is open to including them in in updates that follow this version. You can visit the original development thread for the ICS theme here.

In its current state, it does look pretty neat, and easy on the eye. Definitely worth a shot!! Especially for folks who are currently using devices which do not have ICS custom ROMs available, this is a nice alternative to still get that Ice Cream Sandwich look on your Android phone.
