I know this isn't the question section, but I searched and noticed that others asked questions about themes, etc., and their threads weren't removed.. so I'm assuming it is ok.
In the ADW theme template, exactly how do you change the dock icons? I have been searching for quite sometime, and as much as I hate asking questions, I'm completely stuck here.
It is very easy to change the application icons.. but in the README it does not mention how to change the dock icons. I've tried opening other themes and viewing how they were done, but even then when I tried to use their docks as references, my theme's dock still never changed. Very irritating =/
Could someone educate me here?

No, it's really not, there is a General thread and a Q&A thread you should use to ask. But what the hell, changing the icons is pretty easy, long press on one and let go without moving it, you'll have the option to edit it. Pick your icon through that.

Yea I figured it wasn't a good idea, and you didn't get what I was meant.. I guess I didn't phrase it correctly.
I'm trying to develop an ADW theme, my base is the theme template provided here. In the theme template changing applications icons is very easy, however changing the dock action buttons is not. It doesn't tell you how to do so, and using dock icons from other themes doesn't seem to be effective.
Basically I'm asking people who have developed ADW Launcher themes with the theme template how they have managed to create their own docks, and alter the theme's widgets and other factors.. not just the icons. It doesn't seem like it would be this irritating ._.

I have rooted my phone and I am able to switch different themes using GScript. However for some reason all of a sudden now when I switch my themes, everything changes except the wallpaper. Does anyone know why the wallpaper would not change when the theme is changed? These are themes that I know have their own specific wallpapers.
How about some forum etiquette, one thread per topic.
Yeah I apologize about that. My browser locked up and I never saw my post show up so I thought it didn;t take. You can close this thread since I didn't mean to post a duplicate thread.
First post, thanks for reading

in the "screen shot" thread under the atrix forum I keep seeing people with customized icons in their system notification bar on the top of the phone.
Just wondering how I can edit this, any help is appreciated.

I am not sure but i found a site where ppl post their ROMS and their launchers they use to get customized icons in notification bar. Here it is: http://iamandroid.com/group/rootedd1users/forum/topics/what-rom-are-you-using
Or are you talking abt this?: http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/42725-theme-dark-ages.html
If you are, there is a tutorial on that here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/42724-guide-how-change-your-notification-bar.html
Hope this helps!!
Hi !
I was looking for a way to add more pages to android home, I use the sense interface and it has some many widget that I think that it's a shame to use just 7 ..
Also I was looking to a way to change background to the all app menu ( I know that probably isn't possible but I really can't understand the thing of the black background...)
any help ?!
Try a different launcher - most of the third party replacement launchers let you configure the number of home screens, backgrounds, etc.
Just open up the Market and search for "launcher" - Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher and ADW Launcher are popular ones - have a play with them until you find one you like!
emh actually I forgot to mention that I would like to do this with htc sense....so I think that those app can't help me !

You might consider sending a pm to CookieMonster. He did things with HTC Sense on Windows Mobile that nobody including HTC could do.
He doesn't seem to be around much anymore but here is his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792303 Maybe someone from his team may have some thoughts.

i know but I doubt that he would like to work on this considering that hasn't been active for a while. anyway I'll give it a try.
and yes manila was much more better in my opinion...android is to close and some of its properties are bad...it's not possible to have a menu app with forced black background...also the stories of only 7 pages is stupid...
No customization at all !!
I use adw launcher and its great. You can change the icons on the bottom row along with a main button. You can change the amount of icons that are horizonal and vertical. Change scrooling all kinds of cool stuff.
Here is the .apk. Not sure if any other files need to go with it as I havent installed it in awhile.
Numerous different ones. I actually might try something different.

does it work in combination with sense ?
sadly I'm still without solution
I had this request a while back and it seems to have died off. Basically I was wondering if the fantastic developers here can figure out a way to get the wallpaper to show on the pattern, pin, or password lockscreen. Right now it is simply black and I think it doesn't look that good. Not a huge issue but one I'm sure can be solved. Here is what seo said about the issue over at his original thread.
"pattern/sim/password unlock black background instead of yours. please don't ask . I will not f*** up the entire android.policy trying to fix "just a background". live with it"
I know this would be extremely useful to a great deal of rom developers so please take consideration. Also I don't know if this is in the right section so mods please move it if you would like. Screenshot below.
I would like this to but i believe this belongs in the themes thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I honestly think this should be in development because there is going to have to be some manipulation of system files. I believe when you are manipulating images it should be within themes. This is not a theme but more of a modification that would be extremely useful to a ton of people. Can some developer please jump on this I would def donate.
This doesn't belong in this FORUM...bla bla bla!
Good idea though...even though I don't use that pattern lockscreen.
Moved to Themes and Apps.

Motion to stay in development.........Denied.
How did this thread die out so fast. I was really hoping to get this development rolling.
Hoping there might be one or two of you out there that would be willing to help or teach me how to create themes that can be applied using theme chooser. Also I have a boot animation that I have made from a video clip that needs some tweaking. Currently choppy and sluggish.
If your interested please PM me.
If you check in the main android forum there are several guides on how to make those themes.
I'll keep looking. So far all the ones that I have found require a knowledge of xml which i am still trying to learn.

You can make a theme on the Go Launcher website... It requires you to have ether Google Chrome or Firefox..
the only issues that I have found with this website is that you can't change how the notifcation bar stuff shows up.. like if I wanted to make the battery look different than the stock one... I can't do that on the website.
Go Launcher Theme Factory
http://gotheme.3g.cn/golauncherthemefactory/main/jspController/welcome.html?locale=en_US
I have been using it to kind of organize the images that I want to put in the theme... I will be themeing a Rom when I actually start the process but I have been using it to load in the backgrounds and the icons that I want to use and seeing what looks good. Once I find what I think looks good then I move the files into a folder that I name and I make sure that the name on the theme in theme factory for quick reference so I can see what it looks like.
Theme Factory hint... if You make a theme that is good enough and submit it they will sell it in the Market!..... opps... Play Store.
Uot kitchen is the best I've come across.
Just follow the directions and play with it ,learning as you go is the best way.
Although you can't theme app icons,you can theme everything else including battery to windows and dividers,fonts,animations,status bar,etc.etc.
