Gloss Icons pack

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733702
Can someone tell me how to change icon packs? I would love to have these icons, but I have no clue how to change them except for the dock in launcher pro. these would go great with black mod

You have to go into each individual apk and replace the icon with the one you want from that icon pack. Tedious, but not hard. You may need to resize the image, and you will almost definitely need to rename it to match the one in the apk...though maybe not, since that pack was actually made for android...
Have fun!

OR you could download ADW launcher and just hold down on the home screen and select custom shortcut
OR download bettercut and apply them that way

[THEME][REQ] MIUI semi-transparent notification bar on CM6

As the title suggests.
Unfortunately, replacing the .PNG's in framework-res does nothing. Apparently there needs to be some modifications done to the XML's inside framework-res.
Love that semi-transparent look of the MIUI notification bar but I love my CM6 and I'm not willing to give up the ROM just for aesthetics so I'm wondering if this could be done.
I'm sure it CAN be done, there's so many excellent devs on this forum!
Thanks!

Also, if anyone can figure out how to port the top-bar battery found in the MIUI rom I'd love you. :>

I can't be the only one that likes the MIUI NB and wants it on CM6! Right?

I can get down with that. I use launcher pro though, so it most likely wouldn't work out anyways.

I second the Battery bar request. Its my favorite feature in MIUI.

I use LP too. Why wouldn't it work?

+1 I would like to port this over aswell.... Any ideas? I have searched all XML and havent come up with anything. maybe i have missed something.

i want my CM status/taskbar clear as well... LOL
been trying to do that forever.... i use ADW btw

I switched from myn's and now I can't live without a transparent taskbar, I would donate to get this.

Hey guys I just answered your requests.
Just finished up my latest theme for CM 6.1.2, which includes a semi-transparent status bar and a MIUI-ish battery icon. Link is in my sig. One thing to note: status bar transparency doesn't work with LauncherPro. LauncherPro "moves" your wallpaper down 38 pixels, which creates an opaque effect on the status bar. Lame, I know, but don't blame me since it's part of the LauncherPro code. lol. The status bar will be transparent with LP while in apps or the lock screen, but you'll have to use ADW if you want transparency on your home screen. Enjoy, guys.

Change the statusbar

Hi there,
Is there a way to change the statusbar?
I'm now using ADW Launcher, but i think i'm going to buy ADW EX Launcher.
Can i change the status bar with that launcher? (Like the Android 2.2 statusbar, with only the icons (brightness, sound, wifi, rotation), not the programs?
Thanks,

Do you mean notification bar or the apps at the bottom. As far as I know you can't change the notification bar unless you have rooted but the apps a long the bottom are easily changeable. +, don't waste your money with ADW, use GOlauncher.

You can change the status bar with no Laucher!

Transparent Backgroud for Icons Label

Hey guys, I'm wondering whether there is a way to get rid of the icon labels background on the home screen and make it transparent. IMO it looks ugly. I tried looking for a thread that has a solution for this already but I could not find one, if such thread exist, please help direct me to it.
And anyone who might know the trick to achieve this, please share. Thanks!

If you mean riddance of the black background for the white text for the the icons...

There are 2 ways I can think of (and have tried).
===== If you are on stock TouchWiz: =====
Try the app "Desktop VisualizeR" (spelt exactly like that).
Market Link
Do note it's not the most "efficient" way of making transparent icon label backgrounds so it might be too inefficient for people that change homescreen icons on a regular basis. As in it takes awhile to setup all the icons but it works.
Steps:
1. Go to home screen > add widget > Desktop VisualizeR (1x1 SS).
then...
2. Click on the widget > select icon and action (in this instance you can just use an app "Icon" as the "icon" and the "Launch" action as "launch the app" > fill or leave "Label" > set "Label Color" as "Transparent".
Another thing you can do if you want all your future icons to follow a "template" of your choosing (e.g. I want all my future icons created using this widget / icon to have white text on transparent background), then go into your Applications > launch Desktop VisualizeR program > click "Menu" button on your phone > Settings > and now you can play around with the settings.
===== Use another launcher (such as Launcher Pro or ADW etc.) =====
I'm pretty sure there is a setting in the launcher settings that allows all created homescreen shortcuts to have a transparent label background.

I use the GO Launcher App. It solves the problem easily and shows the switch of the homescreens smoothly ;-)
My favourite launcher @ Maket

Thanks guys for your responses. I really wanted to achieve this while keeping the stock TW launcher but there just really isn't an actual mod or anything for this. Since I also wanted to be able to rename the labels, I ended up using GoLauncher EX instead. It's a very good alternative and yes, it is very smooth, especially with a kernel running at 1.7 Ghz.
If you use GoLauncher, you probably noticed that the icons on the dock are much smaller than the ones on your home screen. To make them similar, or in some, equal in size, I had to extract the icons I use on my dock from those .apk's and re-sized them from edge to edge to get rid of the margins because that is what's making them appear small on the dock. I saved the edited icons and put them on my sd card and just used the "Change Icon" option from GoLauncher to use the ones I edited. I also went ahead and made custom icons from folders so that they'll look better at least.
I have a screen shot of my home screen below for you guys to check out. Btw, I'm loving the G-Note! This device is just epic!

Look nice. Mind to share your icons set?

Sure. Just download the attachment below. Make sure when you select the icons for use, that you press "No Crop" so that they will display properly.

Thanks a lot, you save me much big time.

[Q] Valhalla (Black) dialer?

Searched, missed it if it's out there.
Does VB use a non-stock dialer? Just curious because none of the themes I've tried change the little phone icon... and the "black phone on black wallpaper" is hard for me to see. Would like the green phone back if possible.
(I realize this is extremely minor, just curious if it's possible, and what I need to do.) Thanks!

Check this out maybe you can use some of the apk's and push it to the system... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500701... follow the op for further instructions..

Cool thanks. There's no way to change the icon in the VB dialer? (I do like it better, other than the icon.)

Look at a different launcher (golauncher, launcher pro) - or the paid version of adw. You can change the icon to whatever you want.

Cool. So I got the paid ADW. Figured out how to change icons, which is COOL.
But I still haven't found a phone icon I like. I extracted the .PNG from the VB dialer, recolored it to dark green, re-saved it as a PNG and... ADW acts like it doesn't exist.
So now I'm trying to figure out if there is some requirement for icons of which I'm unaware. Seeing as all I did was change the phone color from black to green you'd think it'd be okay... :dunno:
