I know a lot of Users use Launcher Pro as the Default Home.
Well how about we create a Launcher Pro Icons Gallery here?
All We Need are PNG and GIF files without Background Color and it will work and Look as Icons, But I don't know what size will fit nice...

Are you talking about making them semi tansparent with out color. I am fixing to start working on a theme for the froyo rom, and will have an add on for launcher pro as that is the launcher I have been using.
For Example...
Download this Icon...

Then.…
Go to the Launcher PRO Dock and Add Twitter from Programs, then choose Custom Icon and choose it.
And it will look like this...
Check out launcherpro.droidicon.com. We're building a community around LauncherPro Icons.

put them wherever you want.. if you downloaded them, they will show up in your download folder on your sd card.. sometimes the 3D Gallery is slow on refreshing and you might have to open the Gallery app up first and let everything refresh..
Nope, they don't show up for me.. Strange... they are .png, do they need to be .PNG or .GIF or .JPG?

it would be easier if you could tell me if your downloading them or transferring them from your computer.. .so that way i can tell you exactly where its going.. also, what kinda file manager do you have?
I downloaded a .zip file from my email with 2 .png files in it, using AndExplorer I extracted them to /sdcard/icons folder. I can move the .png files to any folder but gallery doesn't see them. I even tried chmod 777 the folder with no luck...
I've found if u put the pics in the root of ur sd card they will show up in gallery

I had this same problem and fixed it. I had to hook up usb and mount my sd card to the computer. After that, for some weird reason, those other picture files showed up in Gallery.
Give it a try. Should not matter where the files are located on the sd card.

Hi all!
[ICON PACK]
I've collected your wishes, and put together a few droid guy icons, similar to manup456's Droid iconset.
Credits go to him for the great idea to create the original icon pack, and the basic android icon. I couldn't do this without that.
You can find the original droid icons here.

Download droidz_ext.zip, extract to a folder on your sd. Apply them with Desktop Visualizer, or ADW Launcher icon replacer.
[NEW!]
A good guy, tskramp made many new icons for this thread, now they are available in the new (droidz_ext.zip) zip. Thanks for him!
Here they are:
MY LATEST UPDATES:
I've added an apk installer, it contains the icon pack. It is much easier to apply the icons with this. In Desktop Visualizer choose icon packs option instead of android image gallery.
Big thanks to djmcnz, the creator of the great rom bundle, Kang-O-Rama!
[MORPHS]
Statusbar:
I've added 2 metamorph zips.
The first (DroidzExtended.zip) contains a semi-transparent white statusbar, with custom (mainly android guy) notification icons.
The second one (DroidzExtended_transbar.zip) is the same as the first, but with fully transparent statusbar, with a little shadow effect.
Open zip with Metamorph as a new theme, let it extract, and then apply all.
These are my first morphs, any feedback is apperciated.
Screenshots:
Twitter, inc.
Here's something I did today. This is for Official Twitter app. It's not perfect yet, I couldn't make the smaller widget transparent, because of Twitter's special image handling. But I've added a little twitter droid to that too.
First you have to move com.twitter.android.apk from data/app to system/app. Then download Translucent_twitter zip from below, and apply it via Metamorph.
Screenshot:
Download links: see attached files
And a half-kanged wallpaper (I've only put the Droids onto it
great job on these. just wondering though, do you have a blank image of just the android holding both arms out. i've been wanting to make a few of these myself but needed that and didn't see it in the original pack.

Thanks , finally got bettercut working with helix 2 and loving my setup ... Thanks again for the sick icons
Thanks a bunch!!
ANDROID FTW!!
I strongly regommend Folder Organizer to change icons, it puts them in much better quality than Better cut, plus they won't be buggy because of bad linking (for example Gallery force closed, when I added it either with Better Cut, or Freedhome, or the web browser always restarted when I used the custom icon to start).

It's all a mock-up.
Good idea, I think you wanted to make an icon for when you see the EVO in file explorer? If not that's the idea I got out of this and did it.
So when you open file explorer (Windows only) you will see the icon and name of the phone like in the attached picture.
I put the files here for anyone else that might want it.
Unzip the attached zip file to the root (main part of the SD card not in a folder).
There's only two files, one is the .ico file mikevillarroel made (thanks)
the other is a .inf that tells Windows what to show, you can open this in notepad to make sure its safe.

Cheer up. Macs are faster and reliable. Unfortunately they're (the devs who make the apps) aren't.
Also might i suggest, download an app like "SyncMate" kinda like HTC sync for windows. And to get a custom icon, I used "Candy Bar" on my mac.
Look at all these phone icons! Not one for the EVO

Hi dudes and dudettes,
I've been making a little theme during my spare time and today decided to release what i have currently got done. I really hope people like it and its my first theme i've created for the Nexus.
Currently the theme is only for CM 6.0 final as that is what I am currently running on my Nexus. I may port it over to other ROMs but not until I have the free time as I am pretty busy over the next few days.
The theme is in UPDATE.zip for easy application and to get the best results I have attached my .XML for the notification bar colours. Also attached to this thread are my green+mean icon set and dock for use with launcher pro (or anything else really)

nice theme! fonts are a little bit hard to see? can u use another font type?
Just installed this theme and i really like it.....How do i use your icons and app drawer theme though? I'm currently running cyan 6 final
Hi ppl, thankyou for the kind words!
in regards to the setting icons, I would love to do that but you will need to wait I have a few other things going on right now.
and font, I'm not sure what other font to try as I quite like this one. If you want I can upload the default font so you can revert?
thanks again!

hi mate are you trying to change the icons in the dock or elsewhere? to change on dock just press and holdon the dock, select shortcut then custom icon.
for elsewhere, you need folder organizer from the market which is also free and very useful.

Thank you! Wow can't believe i didn't think of that....So easy. Just figured there was a option in settings somewhere.
This theme looks incredible. Might be enough to make me learn how to make an ADW Launcher theme.
It would be also nice if the height of the widgets was the same. I mean...if I use for example the twitter widget (4x1) in a screen and the google search widget in the next screen their edges don't match.
Try to use the music 4x1 widget in a screen and the weather&news one in the next screen...they match! This is the effect it would be cool to have with all the widgets.
Is it possible? (sorry for my english! )
EDIT: is it possible that the weather&news widget has been "broken" by your customization? It doesn't find my location if I set the geolocation. If i set manually my location all works fine. The geolocation works instead in Beautiful Widgest so I think there's a problem in that widget.
love the work so far, can't wait for next release with more things themed.

not saying this is the answer: but have you checked that 'Use wireless networks' is still ticked in your Location & Security settings. I had a problem with that widget doing the same thing, and then it magically worked when I found it had been unchecked - probably due to me using the 4-corner-tap trick to skip initial gapps setup with each ROM flash recently, therefor missing that option

All credit goes to newone757 (see this thread) for the original idea, inspiration and most importantly the PSD template with which I made these icons. Without further ado:

What you will need:
1. Desktop Visualizer for the icons/"tiles"
2. Launcher Pro Plus (though ADW Launcher's widget resizing function may work just as well) with homescreen set at 4 columns and 5 rows
Widgets used in these screenshots are Battstat ("small, numbers") and Digital Clock Widget by Maize (the date's text is set to black and therefore invisible). The vertical Power Control Widget comes with CyanogenMod6 (thank you, Cyanogen and #teamdouche!). Please note that I made the icons so that they're displayed optimally when you hide the status bar, as that's the display I prefer. The font used is, naturally, Zegoe/Segoe UI.

You will want the original PSD templates (download from newone's thread), not my PNG. If you've got those already, just click on the layer with the image, select the image and delete it. Find a new one, paste it on and it should remain behind the text layer.
Added icons for Quickoffice/documents to go, twitter, mail, browser, maps/car home, and file explorer.
Looks nice. Could someone make a youtube vid of the workings?
Can someone create a icon for the Bible please.

what do u have set up for the folder icon? cause I am drawing a blank on finding a work around to have it open a actual folder, if that's possible
The folder icon is actually for folder organizer. Obviously, not enough space for "folder organizer" as a title. So it goes with several other icons, hence the icon for Dropbox being a picture of a box with the caption "drop."
If you've got any apps you'd like icons for, feel free to request.

Hi,
I sent you a PM, not sure if you got but I'd pay you to custom make some images for me for my Nexus if I sent the pics to you? I don't have the proper software program to make them. Please let me know. I wouldn't ask you to do them for free and I feel that people who design stuff for us should be rewarded for their time and work.
Thanks in advance hopefully.
Apparently I disabled e-mail notifications for PMs. What do you have in mind? If it's more icons, making them is really very easy and I wouldn't want to take payment for it especially when I'm using someone else's photoshop template to start with.

Does anyone know the name of the Gallery Wallpaper app that is standard on the X10?
If so can I unpack it and modify it with my own wallpapers, and how?
Any info on this is much appreciated.
The wallpapers are in Launcher.apk
You can overwrite the current wallpaper images but I haven't figured out which file we need to modify to add to new wallpapers.

instead of just throwing some images to your SD and selecting them as wallpapers?

Well, if it's just for a wallpaper, it's not that bad...
Besides changing the Launcher.apk is much more of a pita.
You have to extract it with ie: WinZip, then find the pictures (in the folder res/drawable), replace them with pictures of the exact same size and type then put the contents back in the apk, then, push it using adb on your mobile. That's kind of a hassle, huh?
Anyway, there is also the Flikie Wallpapers app, which once installed it pops up as an option when you want to change wallpaper, but I don't think it lets you use local files.
Maybe JustPictures! lets you use your local files, but haven't tried it.

It doesn't actually bother me that much either , but I just like to be able to change my wallpaper in a couple of clicks and I don't want to install an app just for that (I'm a bit picky about what I install both on my PC and my phone).
Also all my wallpaper images are the correct size.
But, you are right, it would be a bit of a hassle to do all of that just to change the default wallpaper images But at the moment I'm updating the apk files all the time, so one more change doesn't make much of a difference

It's just a few clicks either way isn't it, and Mediascape comes preinstalled.

Yeah, I was referring to the other apps mentioned
You also don't have to resize if you use the wallpaper gallery.
Thanks for the fast response. Seems like the xml is encrypted in the launcher.apk. Anyway to decrypt that?

Thanks for this. Worked like a charm!
Gonna have a look in all that xml. Hopefully I'll be able to find out where it is.

Well, if it's just for a wallpaper, it's not that bad...
Besides changing the Launcher.apk is much more of a pita.
You have to extract it with ie: WinZip, then find the pictures (in the folder res/drawable), replace them with pictures of the exact same size and type then put the contents back in the apk, then, push it using adb on your mobile. That's kind of a hassle, huh?
Anyway, there is also the Flikie Wallpapers app, which once installed it pops up as an option when you want to change wallpaper, but I don't think it lets you use local files.
Maybe JustPictures! lets you use your local files, but haven't tried it.
(It always impresses me how much people hate Mediascape!
I am not a fan either, but it does not bother me that much!! )

Any idea if the two suggested apps worked to change wallpapers ALL OVER Xperia X10?

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
