Where can we get that theme you are using with that clock widget. This looks great by the way.
Thanks Thyrus. As a developer, Cyanogen is the best. As a color, it's a little too 80's for me. Second poster, the widgets are called Tajm and BattStat in the market.
How did you make it so those 2 were at the top with like a bar to themselves?

Elegant Steel - you can find it here in the Themes and Apps section
Thanks for your great wallpaper selection, it was nice collection.
Now I feel Cyanogen Wallpaper is worth be there.
Thanks for the credit dude.
LOL love how you messaged me saying you ALL of the wallpapers in my dropbox.
I'll keep updating it with more and more wallpapers that I find.
So for more wallpapers hit up my blog people!
when you do (or whoever wants to add their own):
Unless you want to play around with the xml files (R$drawable to be exact), you can change them to your liking, but the filenames need to stay the same as they are in the apk file. So all of them must be jpeg files with the same names. Simply adding your own doesn't work until you add the names and other info in the R$drawable
So this is my first theme Ive ever done. It took the better part of today and wasnt too difficult. I used the Go Launcher Theme Factory to build it. The home screen icons are custom made in either Illustrator or Photoshop. As Im not yet experienced with button layouts and styles, I would really love some feedback on what you think works and what doesnt.
I was really inspired by the Miui widget styles with the dot-matrix look. I havent paid for my dev account with Google Market yet, so please download this theme here. And thanks for all the critiques and what-not!
Update: 2/7/11 Ok so another update here. I added a few more icons for some commonly used apps. Only 7 of them. They are all 72x72 so they should match up with the background ok. Probably not exact but they should work.
Also the dock apps actually have 'twin' app icons in the app drawer that use the stock image. So these icons in the app drawer have the 'common' background image applied to them (blue square). you can replace the dock version icons for these default ones if you like them better. I placed them above the counterparts in the pics below. Other than this I also changed the app drawer tab look to the dot matrix style. makes things a little more cohesive.
I have also included a .zip file with all the dock icons in 60x60 format for you to put on your device and change manually. Just in case the apk leaves them out for some reason. When you change them manually they also tend to be just a little more crisp.
Hope you guys enjoy.
EDIT: I just noticed the app drawer tab icons are getting shrunk by go launcher so they dont match the background. Too tired to change them now. Maybe tomorrow, so.....late......zzzzzz

I was really inspired by the Miui widget styles with the dot-matrix look. However Im having the hardest time to get them to look uniform and not do that weird jumping around thing that small dots tend to do with aliasing and such. Do you think it may have something to do with me designing the icons small rather than starting big and shrinking them?

Looks pretty sweet Taz. Keep up the good work man.
So.. are you planning on selling your theme? As a Go Launcher theme..? Just wondering

If you're using photoshop just set the DPI so that 1px = 1 dot. Then just set the canvas size to whatever the icon size is and you can "paint" in each pixel.
Just a thought..

Actually I was planning on giving this one away on the market for free since it is my first attempt. Im gettin the hang of the theme factory a bit now. It can be really confusing to replace some of the images properly. And with no Manual on how to use the dang thing, its all guess work.

Thanks, I was trying to use Illustrator with artboards that were the exacct size of the icons, but i think i was setting the dpi wrong because they would come out bigger. I guess ill stick to photoshop for my next ones. Wondering if icons are usually painted large then shrunk down?

I'm digging this theme. The ICS blue layout, the simple minimalist look is how I like my themes. Unfortunately, the dock icons look a little odd to me. Though I'd gladly use this if you kept improving on this theme.

That is exactly what i plan to do. I figured out my problem with the dock icon resolution problem too. Go Launcher shrinks the normal icon image from 72x72 down to 60x60 when you place the icon on the dock. I was making the dock icons at a resolution of 72x72. This is why the dots would look weird when they were put there. So im going to try and fix that by creating a template for myself. I will upload it onto a new thread with pixel guides for the various icon sizes and a psd file for people to create their own icons with. After doing all the pixel math I was able to layout all the guides for the home screen grid according to a 5x6 pattern.

Thanks for the explanations. I ended up trying this out on my mom's Fire last night and it looked awesome.
I then went ahead and loaded it up onto my Infuse and I'm definitely liking this theme more. I love the folder icons on this theme especially.
One of the things I noticed is that there was an icon pack when I installed it on the fire (one of them was the facebook icon which had some subtle snowflakes on them) and it doesn't show up on my Infuse (just the standard blue border) and when trying to pick icons from the themes it says there are no images. I was hoping there would be a different icon for music and the browser so that my dock would match more.
I'm attaching some of the images of my phone right now for others to get a good look.
And one more thing, where did you get that lockscreen and clock widget?

Thanks so much for the comments! Im glad you like it. The clock widget is called "Digital Clock Widget" in the market. Its usually the first one to pop up when you search it. I dont think I posted a lock screen. But I cant remember since i removed the pics. I actually usually just change the swipe actions in Go Launcher to hide the dock and status bar. But I now have discovered Statusbar+ and its really awesome! Looks like the windows phone status bar. all the icons will hide after a specified amount of seconds, except for the Clock in the upper right. really love it since its really minimalistic. when you tap the status bar the icons all drop in. Loving it.
I now just use the stock lockscreen. Im not sure why your internet icon didnt show up? I actually removed some of the custom icons that were in the last version. That means the facebook icon along with a few others will now use the original icon with the blue square around them. If you like Ill just upload the dock icons so you can change them manually. and maybe ill make a music icon for ya too!
Excellent. Better than some of the $2 themes I've purchased for Go Launcher. It's tough to find good minimalist themes!
Oh in the OP screens, what is the second icon from the left? Phone ? Apps SMS WWW
I thought it was contacts, but I can't get the icon to work for it.

Hm, thanks for the new clock widget, it looks awesome. Though it's kind of lame that we can't use hex color codes or set the date and time to have the same color. Unfortunately something went very wrong with my phone after I installed and messed with this app. Random reboots, apps wouldn't load, extreme amounts of lag, home button stopped working, my extended power menu disappeared, you name it and I had it. Due to this, I was forced to send my phone back to stock. Oh well, I'll just stick with official TW now that we've got GB. Plus, TW is sort of nice now that I haven't used it in 6 months haha. I'll jump back to Go Launcher in a week since the TW icons are HUGE.
ANYWAYS, I am going to rock this theme once I can get my phone settled down and Go Launcher on this. A music icon would be awesome since I like having my music in my dock. And uploading all of the icons into the theme would be nice too since it'd give us options on which icons we'd like to use. And if you don't mind me being nitpicky, would you mind making an icon set of the stock icons but with the blue border? That would just be icing on the cake.

Yup, that's for contacts, I was wondering about this the first time I saw this also.
Yes that was for the contacts. Im really not sure why Go theme factory may be screwing up the apk. Im going to repackage a new one with the icons and without. Ill add the blue square to dock icons too as extras. Ill try to upload a zip with all the icons I make so you could just replace the dock ones with pngs if you want. Maybe thats how ill do the music one too is GTF doesnt package it right. Ill be sure to test it out first.
Also im relaly sorry to hear about the widget probs. Ive always had that widget and it never really gave me any problems. Maybe it was a malware app or something. Not sure about it. But Ill definitely add some more cool stuff to this theme since you guys seem to like it so much.
and heres some examples of another direction i want to go in for a theme...
Both were made in photoshop using mainly layer effects. Im leaning more towards the gray one. But the black one is inspired by my new Logitech k750 keyboard. I love the buttons and want something to come out looking like the theme is made of keys from this keyboard. enjoy.
Updated the apk. enjoy.

Thanks alot! I will be using your theme for a very long time.
You have great taste and should consider monetizing your work IMO.

Hi, id just like to update you on this theme. Im still loving it but i like a consistent look and feel to my phone so I've decided to use parts of this theme and and the ics theme. I love the way you've made the folders, background, and the app drawer look so I've kept those there. Here's some ss of my phone now. Thanks for making my phone look sick!

That looks absolutely rad! I love it. Mixing and matching works best i think. I found myself doing the same thing! Im really glad to see people getting a kick outta this theme.
I just got a live wallpaper and Ive seen youtube videos of it where the user would scroll between the pages and the picture in the background would move, however my one just stays in the same background it wont move left or right. Its the same wallpaper how do I get it to move?
You cannot use features with multiple pages for the background using the Sense launcher (rosie) -
- you have to install an aftermarket launcher.
The way Rosie (Sense launcher) works with the background image is weird, so you also can't use things like Multi picture live wallpaper that I love on my Nook Color, and have set up on the one I gave to my lady with all of her pictures.

So smart! Niiice
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!
Yea, she is all about care bears, so I made her a personalized care-bear edition nook color for her birthday.
Custom icons, each home-screen to a different folder for wallpapers, the system font is in the actual care bear font (which I had to make from scratch because the ones available on the internet suck)...custom boot animation, etc..etc... it was a fun project, and got her to stop borrowing my nook color since she has her own.
She also got a taste of what the dev work i'm doing actually turns into, so she's more willing to give me dev time - all in all it was a big success and a lot of fun.
It really hit home when she had a chance to use someone else's nook color recently that was factory stock - lol - she was like "I couldn't do ANYTHING with it".
haha nice
Hi guys! Here is my new app thought after using the Hydrogen Launcher of OnePlus.
That launcher let you set beautiful wallpaper that are not intrusive with the app overlay. So I create Wallpify.
Wallpify allows you create wallpaper based from your custom pictures, that are beautiful and at the same time do not interfere with the launcher icons, creating confusion on your home!
How it works
- Select an image
- Set the image height
- Set the position
- Wallpify generate colors from your picture
- Choose one of the them and create beautiful and useful wallpaper
You will create a wallpaper composed of your original image at the top and, immediately below, the chosen color so as not to create annoyance with the icons above!
Version 1.1.0 - New!
- Set the position of the picture!
Happy to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thank you very much! Here some screenshot.
Sorry for my english
Link to Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tapeo.wallpify
This is a very good idea and it works well. However, there is one thing that would be a nice improvement - for my case at least, but i assume there are others with the same "problem" as well.
I would like to be able to put my image somewhere in the middle of the wallpaper, so that there is a color at the top, then the picture, and then color again.
And another suggestion, maybe for a future update: add different options for the background, like color-gradients based on the image, for example.
Keep up the good work!
Great! Nice suggestions I will implement them very probably in the next versions!
Thank you for the feedback!!! ???
