[LOCKSCREEN} MyMetroLock Update: 13.4.2010

This is a variant of my quite popular WP7S Lockscreen (which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651045)
MyMetroLock
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What's new in this version
1. hardcoded background picture (the blue metro icons)
2. left aligned text matching the Metro guidelines by Microsoft
3. new font "Zegoe" Light and Regular (will be installed with the CAB) matching the Metro design
4. possibility for your own user picture!
5. skinned notifications (except voicemail - I don't use/need that)
A word about requests and compatibility:
This lockscreen is provided "as it is". I made it for a stock ROM HTC HD2 (1.66) and it works fine for me. Feel free to modify it to your wishes but - if you do - give a small credit to this thread. There might be issues with custom ROMs and other devices - I can't change that - sorry.
What should I do if I find an error?
Just post your screenie and I'll see what I can do
Update 13.4.2010: new release as MyMetroLock
Update 13.4.2010, 15.07: fixed an error with userpic - please re-download cab!
Installation:
a) grab the cab attached below.
b) remove all other lockscreen mods than install my cab.
c) make your own picture with Photoshop or similar with the exact size of 119 x 119 pixel and save it as user.png
d) copy your "user.png" into the "lockscreen" folder in your windows directory on your device.
e) softreset
Have fun!

all versions now update with the new notification icons - see first post

I really like this lockscreen, it's so clean.
However when using a bright wallpaper, you can clearly see that the clock is cut off at the bottom.. hope you understand what I mean! Just try it out.
Also I wonder in this Link http://www.mobilitynews.net/?p=11018 , is all notification icons skinned in that version to?

ups will have a look into that issue.
the other lockscreen isn't updated - there are no skinned notification icons in that (old) version...

Of course, here is the result:
As you can see, there are only a slight cut off on the "0" on the clock now. However as I have marked, there are some cut offs at the calendar also.

Fast answer: Only the "g" (Imorgon) is slightly cut off now, Everything else looks perfect.

[Icons] !UPDATED! Albook Icons (657 total) Dark Icons + 5 custom

**UPDATED** 7/7/10 - 5 custom icons, screen-shot updated.
So I got tired of not having certain icons, and went ahead and made 5 custom icons.
Now, I'm no artist but I rigged a blank icon in PhotoShop to match the style.
added the following 5 icons.
PTT (push to talk) using for TiKL
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SMS obvious
t Twitter obvious
Phone Icon using for google voice
XDA obvious (obviously this is a daily app, and i always have it on the front home screen)
I'm keeping the above custom separate than the original package. As I did not create the rest.
I take no credit for the original set. And have no intentions to.
These icons were not generated for android, there are some icons that do not fit for android os, and some missing.
I took the following http://stopdreaming.deviantart.com/art/Albook-extended-dark-811-icons-117250259 icons and converted from .ico to .png 64x64 to work with the evo icons.

Clock?
Just wondering....how did you get Godzson's clock to work on Fresh? Have tried multiple times and for some reason I just cannot manage it. Love the look you have going and am trying to reproduce it. Also what launcher is that? I installed the Minimalistic theme (looks great) but I prefer yours. Thanks for the help (and the icons--fantastic!)

Hey is there a Tutorial on how to use these Icons? i been searching all over and No Dice

I use folder organizer
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Actually I was kinda wondering how to use them myself lol. I tried using FolderOrganizer like you suggested fdot and I was able to succesfully change the icon through the app itself but how do you get it to show that same icon in the app drawer or on the homescreen? For example, in FolderOrganizer i changed the TiKL icon to the custom ptt icon that you made but in the app drawer and home screen it still shows the default one. Would really appreciate some help! Thanks in advance

Yes would be awesome if someone could post a tutorial on how to install these

Long click home screen, choose add wiget, choose folderorganizer item, choose the app.
Wont change the app drawer that I know of. But thats not a feature I would use anyway.

[THEME] ArtistikkEvo v1

A little while back I posted this theme and got a lot of pm's and request for it so I figured it would be easier to just do a thread.

Here's Mine:
When you click the page "titles" up top you get this:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok. Here are all the icons for this.
http://www.mediafire.com/?t1oc5n1libbglan
And here are a couple wallpapers done with the overlay. Don't mind the right edge of some, it won't show up when you set it. Make sure you disable wallpaper scrolling with LauncherPro and set it to 5 icon rows.
http://www.mediafire.com/?kkiq25z988lv37v
Now, to set this up, you will need Desktop Visualizer, Smart Shortcuts (if you want the "folder" popups when you click the page name), and LauncherProPlus to resize the big icons unless you use a smaller size which might not look as good. Use DV to set the shortcuts as widgets. All of them are sized 2x1 except the big one. Set the big one first otherwise you won't have room in the end before resizing.
Edit: Forgot to post the dock earlier. It's a slightly modified version of the Weiss dock.

The font is "English".
Edit 9/16/10: The images are now hosted on my dropbox account. Figured it would be easier than constantly zipping these up. Added a few new wallpapers and icon colors. http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/10931401/3/Android/Themes/ArtistikkEvoV1?h=b51619
I will do doing some different colors, and taking requests for icons although I did include a .psd template for those who can do their own. It does take some time to do so feel free to donate. Others have already offered.

This makes me happy....
Thanks.

Awesome, thanks!

This looks amazing. Kinda reminds me of some of the more complex themes for the iphone. I will def be trying this out.Thanks.

It's not exactly my taste, but that is a very elegant beautiful theme. nicely done!

Wait how did you make it so that when you click the titles like Game, Apps, etc, a list of them pops up?

Thank you so much for this! I have been waiting so patiently for this!!!

When setting the shortcut action with DV, click on other, scroll to Smart Shortcuts, then pick which group you want to pop up.

Is there any way to get some more detail about set up? I've never used some of these apps. Sorry for being so new to this.

love your work man! Thanks for the contribution. Will donate soon. let me know if you need any help making the icons. I know it can be time consuming work.

This is the most well put together and complete theme i have seen. form meet function... very impressive

IM having problems getting 4 icons in the right bar as shown in the op. How do i get 4 icons I can only seem to get 3

Oooh sorry, you have to set it to 5 icon rows in the advanced settings.

This would be really cool in light pink. I would definitely be willing to donate for one.

Change clock color to white in CM settings.

Wow that was fast!
Great job Sonny!

looks great, especially the animations
do you think you can make the signal bars and wifi green though?
also, my notification bar isn't black as seen in the screenshots, did i miss something?
EDIT: had to set the theme to STOCK in CM settings for the flat bar

Yeah, I reflashed the keyboard after your mod and the keyboard's working fine now.
I did change the color to white for clock and calendar after the post, I simply didn't want to edit a third time
One more thing: It's missing the menu icons / menu theme, it's still white.
Loved the theme. Thanks!

First, nice work sonnysekhon.
Second. I'm having an error. When I try to flash de .zip, this error popout:
"E: Missing file:
system/app/RomManager.apk
E: Verification failed"
I don't know why said that, and less why i need the RomManager to apply the theme.
Any help?
PD: Sorry if the question its absurd, but i leave the "scene" a few months ago and maybe i'm a bit rusty.

How to remove black bubble around app icon names ?

Here is a pic of my home screen, nothing too different than stock, I like to keep it clean and simple. But would like to know how to get transparent app icons names, without the black border ? Right now they have the black bubble under each app, is there a way to not have that black border, and just the white icon name only ?

[Off topic] What rom is this? (4G icon looks pretty good)
[On Topic] If your using ADW Launcher (That's what it looks like to me), there is an option to turn off the background borders. Not sure, i think its under user interface.

Download Desktop Visualizer free in the market. Use it to place your icons on the desktop and you can do with or without the background, with white text or black. You set each icon up and a widget.

What Launcher is this? Thank you!

This may vary depending on your launcher but for mine ADWLauncher goto ADW Settings > UI Settings > Icons > New Icon Settings > Icon Label Color. Bringing it all the way to the left makes it transparent I believe.

Any chance you can share the line(s) that need to be hex edited and what they would need to be changed to? Visual desktop was a no go for me. Thank you. I'm on virus' my touch 4G rom and hate the charcoal translucent backrounds behind all the apps.

I am not sure anybody cares anymore, but I posted a reply on page 3 of JS's mod showing the changes in the code. I got rid of the bubbles just by changing
res\values\colors.xml
line 4 from <color name="bubble_dark_background">#b2191919</color>
to <color name="bubble_dark_background">#00191919</color>
It seems to be working fine on my stock ninjawolf's 4.53 ROM with a few other mods that I threw in. I'd show a screenshot, but it's my boring desktop minus the bubbles, and you can imagine.
