Fancy widget is against forum rules
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

while fancy widget is banned, the graphic you want to replace in the .apk is
\res\drawable-hdpi\clock_add_weather_base.png (<<<< is the name of the graphic)
be warned, do NOT post anything for FancyWidget, i don't think its against forum rules to help you with a question on it, but you cannot post anything like graphics or .apk's
but the graphic you want to change is also in 4 different folders depending on which .apk uses for each device, so it would be best to change each of them.
Mods, please close thread to prevent problems

I hope the OP has learned his lesson (he knows what I mean). He nor anyone else should post a link. Closing this thread to prevent temptation and as the question posed has been answered. Thanks

Questions on Icon Customization

Hello all,
So to start yes I've used google and yes I've searched. But I can't seem to bring up the answers I'm looking for.
I'm interested in theming my own icons or at least changing some that others have to to suite my own desires. I've read up on some things for Android icons here. But I was curious as to what other people use/prefer.
As in which to use Fireworks or Photoshop?
Or what the best dimensions are for icons?
And is it best to make them into an APK for easy use?
I couldn't find a how to guide for theming icons specifically but if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Flawless
P.S. Sorry if some of these have really easy answers. Just starting out with changing things on my own.
Which Icons...
Notification icons?
or
App Icons?
or
Other?
I was typing a response and realize you could be talking about three different icons which have different sizes and are in different locations. Notifications are /system/framework and App icons are just shortcuts. Use bettercut from the market, for the latter. As for size 72x72 px for hdpi screens.

Well in the immediate future I was looking to make my own icon theme pack. Then jump into framework, which I know can be a bit more complicated.
So my original questions were in regardes to strictly application icons and a launcher pro dock.
Also I personally use desktop visualizer to customize my icons.
Thanks again for your response

I'm interested in this as well. I really would like to know how to change the stock folder icons from the plain manila to something more appealing. A starting guide would be great.

So after re-reading the webpage that I found and that you linked again, it clarified it a bit. I'm now more just curious as to the programs most people prefer. I know some editors use fireworks but some use photoshop. Which do you personally like (or which may be easier for a semi-noob to start off with)? Or is there another program that you use?
Thanks again,

Here is how I change my homescreen icons if using LauncherPro:
While you could download another app to make custom icons for your homescreens, I figure, why not just use LauncherPro since we already have it installed. Here is a simple tutorial to make a shortcut to have an app open like regular but with a custom icon:
1. Determine the app's package and class names:
-Add a LauncherPro Activities shortcut to your homescreen. Find the app you want and expand it. The options you see are your class names. We will use the HTC Sense World Clock as an example. Usually the default page the app opens to will be the first option, so in this case...
Class name: com.htc.android.worldclock.WorldClockTabControl
The package name is usually derived from the class name, mainly by removing the last part of the name. So, in this case...
Package name: com.htc.android.worldclock
Sometimes you may have to remove the 2nd to last part of the name, if its something like "*.chompsms.activities". You don't need the activities section. Just back out of adding the shortcut now, we have all the info we need. Now we can make our shortcut.
2. Add a new LauncherPro Shortcut to your homescreen and use the built in editor. Simply fill in the Shortcut Label (whatever you want to name it), Package name, and Class name. Leave the Action field as is. Browse your SD card for a custom icon (I suggest surfing to http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/), save your.lps file, and you're done!
This probably won't work for all apps, but should work for most.

I think you misunderstood the question a bit. I was talking about creating or modifing icons in photoshop or fireworks. Not necessarily how to apply them to the phone.
Although I'm sure what you posted will help some people.
Thanks for the response though.

Oh ok, well in that case:

Most will use Photoshop to make icons. A good size to stay at would be 128x128 IMO. Even though Android uses smaller resolution icons, it's better to downscale than to upscale. I would save as a .PNG to preserve your transparency.

Awesome thanks! This will be a great place to start. Is it the same process to edit the Icons for a normal homescreen shortcut? I would assume so or at least it looks to be.
Thanks again,

Yes, it should be. You would use BetterCut or LauncherPro to edit the shortcut icons once you have them made.

[Request] Collection of skinned widgets and themed apps.

As the title says. I'm hoping someone could collect all the black, transparent, themed etc.... widgets and apps and put them in a thread that would hopefully be stickied in the future. Anyone else think this is a good idea.

Does anyone have the black gradient wallpaper?

Does anyone have the background with the black/gray gradient to use as app backgrounds, like this - https://ssl.gstatic.com/android/mar...60-1-8493d7fc7d95442cbf2c0c47dd50e503bcb71321 ? I know it's not original to Zedge because I've seen that design in a lot of different apps, and I'd like to use it in one of mine. Thanks!
edit: This is specific to Android, if that wasn't clear. I originally posted it in the Android forum but someone moved it here by mistake so it might have made it confusing.
bump because a mod moved this to the wrong forum
bump because I added some new info to the op

[Q] Ripped icon set shows black icons, why?

Hello,
I really liked this iOS Winterboard theme and wanted to use it's icons for my MIUI rom. The ripped .png icons in the .rar file have all turned into this black square. I was wondering if you guys knew why this was, and if there is a fix for it. I've seen these icons on a MIUI rom before so I know its possible to have these iOS icons on an Android.
That can sometimes happen when the alpha layer of a png gets lost for some reason. If you copy a png from a browser and paste it into a graphics package it quite often has a solid black background. Could you attach the png file (zipped) so I could open it and look at it?
Sure here's the .png in a .zip. Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Apply only part of themes

Hey guys,
Is it possible to apply only the status and navbar part of a theme like e.g. Fi or Atomic Green? Often I don't like the changed design of some apps and menus, but really like other parts the theme I'd like to apply. Sadly that is all done with the "Style" part.
Thank you!
I don't think that's possible without decompiling the themes app and removing the theming you don't want. Then again, I'm not themer so I cannot say for sure. Someone else more knowledgeable could chime in and clear the air.
P.S. this belongs in the Q+A forum not themes and apps.
Thx for the answer and the move to the right forum
