Hey guys,
i have cookies great work with the home tab and what not but i was just wondering if there was a way to increase the size of the icons to make them larger similar to the stock ones size wise.
Anyone know??
thanks in advance
Anyone at all please???
more icons means smaller icons. You want to make them similar to the stock version, then you will have less icons.

As anyone who owns an HD2 knows, HTC have thought of absolutely everything with this device. It's a fantastic experience. The only area I think they could have done better is the Start menu - the weird combination of HTC and Microsoft icons is a bit disconcerting. With that in mind, I've re-made many icons, from both Microsoft and HTC, in the square 6.5 style. Wasn't difficult to do - this page (http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/wi...ting-custom-icons-for-windows-mobile-6-5.aspx) explains how to do it - but I hope you like them. Eventually I will update this set with square icons for every start menu item and with larger icons for use in HTC Sense quicklinks! BTW, you can use software like Showaco's reStart to change Start menu icons on your device.
There are about 40 icons.
They're 90 pixels square.

It wasn't a question, I was making a statement. In consequence, the icons will be blurred if set as Sense Quicklinks.

Yes, they do look quite bad in Sense... but can't you change the icons in Sense independently of the Start menu icons?

No. Sense uses application icons or the ones set in the Registry. Being so, Sense uses 120 square pixel icons so best dimension for custom icons would be 128 square, which would look perfect both in Start Menu and Sense.

Well like I mentioned at the start, HTC screwed up with these icons. It should look nice out of the box. I guess I'll consider re-doing them...

Thank you
These are the first set of icons I truly like... they are original and eye pleasing.
All others i've seen are just iphone copies.. which are not that good looking anyway...
looking forward to your 128x128 icons
Thanks!

My comment was pure support in sharing information about Sense icons before he continues his work.

+1, as you can see in the CSMI thread, I'm using your icons which are fantastic.. too bad that if you use them in the HTC Homescreen they are blurred due to low resolution.. looking forward to the 128x128 upgrade eheh
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
Have a look his video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPihz5x4enE
As he explains, the buttons are just part of the wallpaper, fair enough, but how to
get the different apps and activities to respond to touch?
Also, what launcher is the best for the tab... i always find myself annoyed by the fact that icons and widgets never sticks where i want the, or i find a good d placement, but space between are to big, etc..
I have bought both launcher pro plus and open home 6, and there is ADW... but what do you guys think?
Anyman: what do you use in the video?
Get desktop Visualizer and have blank pngs for icons, set a 10x10 grid and you'll b able to put the anywhere, adw and LP can resize Widgets so you shouldn't have a problem with placement
swyped from a galaxy far far away...

any size will do, just make it 50x50px, and put them on your sd card where you will remember, all my icons go in sd root/icons
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.
