How to add fonts, point me in the right direction please.. - HTC Inspire 4G

Last night I was looking through some themes and found a theme with your normal text, sms, phone etc icons on the home screen. But what was cool is that the icons were written in what appeared to be graffiti fonts. I tried locating the pic of the screen this morning but couldn't. There is 1000's of pages and don't remember what page it was on. I tried searching but no success. Anyway can somebody point me in the right direction of how to create such icons. I know its hard with out having pic but it appeared very simple. I looked on a web site light dafont.com but can not seem to figure it out but I did locate the font. Right now I am using simple text but I want custom fonts with different sizes.
And yes I searched for something that you really dont know what it is.

This is my present home page, I simply want to be able to change my font style to graffiti fonts.

Do you want to change the entire font system on your phone or simply the dock?
Sent from my Desire HD

I want to change the fonts on my dock icons or any other icon font. I am reading post that members are going to different font web sites and downloading different fonts and applying them to their home screen etc..

Goto the inspire 4g general forum. Search for Font Changer. Grab the font.zips.
Extract them. Use minimalistic text and under fonts in global settings - point it to that folder on your sdcard.
Then when you set up your custom text... you can choose from all those fonts.

Ok got it, followed your lead and ended up downloading several font packages and loading into simple text app styles folder on SD. Now I have hundreds of styles to choose from when using simple text.
Thanks

Any registry tweak to not show running program name in title bar?

I was wondering how to disable displaying the program name on the taskbar - is there a registry tweak for this?
It's just a cosmetic thing, i would rather see the taskbar clean with just the icons and time instead of having the current running program's name on it.
Any solution?
The closest I've come is by using something like Tweaks2k2 to change the Start-bar font color. So using something like Vicott's great UI Tweaker app, I change my top/bottom bars to all black, then change the font-color to black too.
That will "hide" the program title but, as a side effect it also changes the Time font color. Your signal bars, data connection, battery are untouched though.
It's simple, elegant and my choice for doing things, but like I said you loose the clock. Also, matching the exact colors to the top/bottom bars can be tedious if you don't know their exact color codes, if you do you're all set.

It looks really nice, the way you have done your layout - I like it a lot. I tried changing the colour of the text, but the thing is, I don't wanna loose the WM6 bars - and I am not able to find the matching colour while keeping the "glass" look. But thanks for the advice
If you don't want to lose the clock, you can use analogic clock instead of digital clock (long click over clock to change it)

[App Theme] Tweetdeck INCredible

I have been working on a themed tweetdeck for the last couple of days. My goal here was just to have it fit in with the INCredible rEVOlution theme.
I have only done Facebook and Twitter, as I don't really use foursquare or buzz... and the only thing I have not been able to locate that I would like to change is the yellow and grey text in the title bar and the scrollbar...
Please note this is not near complete. I have only edited the things I use, these include:
Twitter Columns, Facebook Columns, buttons, and the bar widget
If anyone wants to helpout, or wants this, let me know and I would be happy to post it!
EDIT: Here is the link to download...
Tweetdeck INCredible
You cannot install this over an already installed tweetdeck.
Uninstall and then reinstall to get it to work.
Here are a couple of screens...

Post, it looks nice.
Thanks!
@touchpro, I posted the link in the original post. Glad you like how it looks!
Looks good man....thanks for the contribution!
@SoCal thanks so much! I am starting to learn android development and figured decoding some apps and theming them would help me learn the structure and the way the XML layout files work. So truly just a super newbie at this stuff with android, but am a web designer and developer by trade.

Good thing is, you will find it in the xml.files.
As I changed those colors couple of days ago....
I changed almost all text colors, but only because I am still searching for the main text color and user color in main columns.
I gave up for now...I bet it´s in some smali.files ....

[Q] ADWLauncher - Change Folders apperance?

I am using ADWLauncher Ex.
Is it possible to change the appearance of the folders? I want to remove the white border and change the alpha/color of the background.
I've downloaded and tried a few themes and none of them change the folder's appearance.
If it's definitely not possible with ADWLauncher EX, is there another launcher app that does it?
Thanks in advance.
Here's a picture of what I am talking about.

if you go through the res folder of the .apk you should be able to find the .png's which control the folder colours/edges

Are you sure?
I just looked through everything in the res folder and there is no png for the folders.
Damn I can't even google this cuz the search results are just FILLED with retards asking how to change the folder icon. ffs.
If you have twitter, you can ask Ander webbs directly @anderwebs. It might be quicker than all the search.
I use Folder Organizer.
You can completely customize the skin used for the app folders:
title bar, border, background colors with alpha and gradient, and title and body text colors.
Probably the best $1.49 I ever spent on an app; there's also a free lite version.

Eric

It looks like those icons are in the dock area, FO can't go in to the dock as it is a widget.

[Q] how to change font?

i have a nexus s on ics 4.0.4 and i want to change my font to this: http://www.dafont.com/easy-speech.font
is there any tutorials or w.e on changing the font? or has someone already got a similar font that i can flash?
thanks
edit:
actually the font i originally wanted was this one:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
if anyone knows what font that is, that would be great
There are a few fonts that look similar in the Font Installer app, though not exact. Personally, I think I might like Eager Naturalist better in that style. It may at least be a quick and easy stopgap if not close enough for you.
If you are rooted , you can download rom toolbox. It has a font installer and it has allot of really good fonts to choose from. Over 100+ fonts I believe. You can download it from the market.

use a root browser to drop any font you like into the font folder to use it. system/fonts/(drop it here).
make sure permissions are fixed to rw-r--r--
that should work
font for nexus
this type of font you can get in, go to setting-> display and then font option also you can download front from google Play, even if your phone is not rooted,
if your phone is rooted then there are several ways to change the font and you can also get lots of font
please press thank if you found this helpful

Creating 2x1 text icons?

Hey all! :thumbup:
I've been messing with 'Simple Text' trying to get the look I want here...
{
"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"
}
As you can see the text icons are quite small and hard to read. Underneath them are folders obviously. The larger text you can see is a widget created also by Simple Text, but there is no way of linking the widget to folders? Only Apps and Shortcuts...
Anyone know of a better app etc that will allow linking to folders?
Cheers,
Matt.
Edit: I guess I should also mention that I am using Nova Launcher Prime.

did you think about drawing icons by yourself and set them in your homescreen?
Yes I have. But the same problem persists. The icons have a set size, no matter what image is used. I also don't want to change the global icon size via a launcher etc.
The best alternative would be to set custom widgets to folders.

I managed to work it out by using Desktop Visualizer combined with Folder Organizer pro. I used Simple Text to create the text, and save it as a .png image.
Hold the home screen and select widget. Then hit DV and select your widget size. Then it opens the settings for the widget. Set up your icon from whatever you want to use (image etc). Then hit 'Action' and select 'Other' then 'FO Folder Link'.
The rest is pretty straight forward after this.
