Ok, probably not really 68 versions, but there are loads of versions of this app around all with different icons, and practically identical apps.
Couldn't someone just write something that points to one of a pair of .png files which reside in the system folder which can hence be replaced by the user to match their other taskbar icons?
In the meantime I'm after a WVGA version with a nice icon to match the typical XPERIA / HTC taskbar icons (which are all white, but I don't mind if it's blue so long as it hasn't been put on a blue sphere or something equally random. I did find one with a white icon but it was very low res). Currently Aluke's version seems to be the best of the bunch.
Thanks

I recently purchased better cut to change icons, great application by the way.
I downloaded the android 2.0 icons from the market, they are great.
But I am now looking for other icons to replace my favorite apps. So far I found some really nice ones on the market (X-icons 1,2,3 and 4 are very complete and beautiful) but they all are a bit smaller than the regular ones.
Obviously I can make some myself but a) I don't know the resolution of the icons and b) it is quicker to get them somewhere on the internet
Does anybody knows where I can download icons for the X10?
Cheers,
Arnold
inorder to have quality display minimum Icon size should be 72px by 72px with 72dpi rez. preferably RGB to display most colors correctly.
I know u understand this very-well.
Ps: let me know what specific icons ur lookingfor, I might be able to get it 4 you
I have been recently messing around with the color accents on my phone. So far I have managed to make a nice Black, Red, Silver theme. However I am stuck with one key I cannot seem to find.
I have successfully managed to change almost all the text to red using these keys:
HKLM\ControlPanel\themes\1\
ProgressBarBackground
TextNeutralColor80
TextNeutralColor75
TextNeutralColor60
TextNeutralColor30
TextNeutralColor20
TextNeutralColor
ContrastColor
However I cannot seem to find the White text that displays on Tiles nor can I find the color that represents the actualy TILE in the call log or textmessaging. I know they are two separate registry settings because using an OLD advanced config I can easily change the tile color to say Dark Blue however the actual text color in the call log and text message area will still be the normal blue. Which is because the old one did not know where the other keys were. So does anyone know of the entire full list of Registry Keys for editing text colors?
Would be cool to see screen shots of your customizations

Have you looked into the XAML files in \windows. There's a thread where someone mentioned these files are related to the themes/accents. The first 2 digits refer to the theme 00 & 01. The second 2 digits refers to the accent color. They somehow work with the registry values.
For more info, see this post.
Ok excellent. I will poke around in that particular file and see what changes what.
Being on an HTC I can easily overwrite in the windows directory so this should not be a problem.
As to a screen shot I will take a look at the new build of WDM and see if I can screenshot it.

Yes, WPDM lets you take screenshots. You must have the multitasking/dehydrate hack enabled though so it'll stay connected with TouchXperience running in the background when you change screens.
Unfortunately the values for what I am looking for is not in those XAML files. Apparently editing those only changes how apps read the accent colors and does not actually change the colors I am looking for.
The only colors I have left to change is one single value somewhere but I have done searches of the registry and through those Xaml files and they seem to not be there. :-/ It looks great right now, but would blend completely if I could just fix these last few.
I attached a few screens. You can see exactly where I still have a silver/grey text even though it should be red.

If I'm not mistaken some of the fonts are semi transparent, white with the black bg showing through. The first 2 digits are the alpha transparency value. I believe FF is solid where 00 is fully transparent. Another thought, is they look to be the same color of the button icon bar. Either way, looks nice.
I have been working on a black and gray them form manila 2.1. (at&t pure) I have also altered the windows grapics (i.e. highlights and buttons) to match. After much searching I was able to fine every file and edit witht the exception of the separator bars for the 4 day weather (they are still blue). I have searched through all manila files with CFC multiple times and have started believing it is not here but yet it continues to stare at me as blue on a black background. Is it not a graphic file? I would like to post this as a theme (including windows graphic mods) and possibly make cab files but it feels so incomplete. I appreciate any help in locating this annoying blue separator bar so I can finish this project.
Been playing arond with varous apps to increase the font and icon sizes, and wondered whats the max icon size (in pixels) I can use on the note?
Looking round for some hi-res icons that are larger than default, some of the apps Ive used tend to zoom in, which look awful.. I want to make the most out of the phones res....
Would also help when trawling through the thousands of icon packs, to find ones that have bigger icons...
Love my new note, sold my gs2 to get one, best move Ive made!
Cheers
EDIT:
Ive got an icon pack (zip file) which contains icons of 125x125 pixel, hi res, and am using GO Launcher EX with grid of 5 rows 4 columns, and I the icons aeem the same size.. I notice when I move an icon, and the grid shows, the spaces between the drid marks is huge, how do I make my icons use more of this space???
I think Go Launcher automatically re-sizes the icons. Don't know if GO has an option to turn it off, but i know ADW has it.
the Note is xhdpi (320 dpi)
(Extra-high density screen)
96x96

I would like to partially design my own themed icons but I need to know how many icons are used in total.
A number would be nice, A list of them all would be nicer.
Also a list of dual use icons if they are used such as highlighted version or something.
A note on sizes would help too, it seems you can use smaller icons but presumable some more than others have size restrictions.
That way I can start making my own. Not sure if I could actually create the theme by myself, I am new to the android really. But presumably if the icons were made in advance it should not be difficult.
