I'm trying to make them in SimpleText, but in ADW, Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, they come out too small.
How do I make them bigger? How do you guys make them?

You need to adjust the text size i do 60 and select all three settings at the bottom, bold linear and the other one slips my mind. Hope this helps

Also when I do mine I use the simple box not the simple text one, hope that makes sense to you.

These are some of the best slider icons I have seen yet. Boy has some serious skills.
I already asked him if I could share it on this board and he gave me the green light.
Anyoune up for the challenge?
Link to icon sets: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437405
That would be good if someone could or what would be even better if there was a how to anywhere as I have a set of glass icons I'd love to try but have no idea where to start and HDwall doesn't work for changing the slider icons.
Ditto.
I have no clue where to begin.
guys, i will do those sliders for you this weekend if nobody else does in the mean time.
a few obs:
- i only do what i find, i don't have time to search for eg. large preview icons
- if you want more you'ld better start searching
- i suggest to try my slider first to see if you have any issues - see my signature
cheers,
antaed
Thanks antaed for the interest.
Hope you can swing it.

Buuf Slider here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6522045&postcount=20
This is the icon set I was hoping to do something with: http://icons.mysitemyway.com/category/3d-transparent-glass-icons If you want me to I can find the individual icons and zip them up for you as they're spread across a few sets on that page. I know that there is at least one icon for each tab that can be used as I put a different set together but changed my mind on the theme last minute.
Would love to learn how to do this because there's various sets on that site that look pretty good that I could play with depending on the theme I decide on.
antaed I've used your slider so know it works very well, would love it if you could work your magic on this glass slider

Hi redzepplun, i think there was misunderstanding I did not mean these slider icons, i meant 'way out there' ones, which I tried and they did not look good. they are quite small. But the ones you are referring on this thread (made by 12aon) are really nice and would fit quite well.

Hi mate I've attached the icons, they're all 512 x 512 I hope this is ok as that's the size they came off the website as. That's perfect to use the same as the large previews too. I hope they look as good as I think they will. Thanks

It is just a colored theme I guess. I know the themed Multitouch KB's are around here but this one is sick. I tried installing on CM6 and it's a nogo...
Asides from the color scheme this one is also transparent (or appears to be anyway). Normally when you go landscape it blocks out the existing page so, for example, if youre replying to an email in landscape you can't simultaneously see what you're typing and what you're responding to.
This MOD is the tits if we can get it

You know, that's what's always bothered me about typing in landscape, the text field and KB completely cover the screen.
I wonder if we could make the text input field transparent. Not completely but maybe like 50% so you can still see the page behind it. Although the text field will still take up the whole top half of the screen so it wouldn't change function at all, I just think it might look cool.
ok heres is what im trying to do,,
i take a screen dump of my home screen then i add the orange divider lines to the png in paintshop pro, then i erase all the original home screen items so i am left with just the orange dividers in the correct positions and then simply use my new wallpaper as my home screen wallpaper and the orange dividers would simply be in the correct positions but heres the problem,,,
when i goto gallery and set the new black cnavas with orange dividers as wallpaper it first asks me to choose portrait or landscape so i choose portrait and then i select the size, obviously the whole image and apply to home screen, but the wallpaper is way too big than original size and hence all the dividers are throw out of place. --- reducing the border size of the wallpaper during selection seems to make the end wallpaper even bigger
note. when i open and view the wallpaper i made in image viewers / gallery it shows as the right size and you can see that the dividers are all where i put them and want them.......
this should be really basic i used to use this methond on my desktop back in win 98 win ME days
any info would be appreciated , feel free to rip it out of me i dont feel very clever

he was probably just spaming something to reach his 10 post count to spam in the dev section.
What device do you have?
From your screenshot it looks like the wallpaper gets strechted horizontally to cover all home screens to the left and right, to keep the ratio it is cut off at the top.
What launcher do you have?

Has anyone changed the DPI density? Standard seems to be 160.
Who knows what might be a better density?
Any expert's opinion most welcome!
I do not know much of these things and do not want to break the gadget.
Thanks!

Some phones get well above that mark. I think the Nexus is over 300.
http://www.gsmarena.com is good for that kind of stuff.
The 7.0 Plus has a 1024x600 screen, 7 inches. That's 170 DPI (PPI). You can't change that.
How do we change it? I'm desperately looking for a way to make the screen better, thanks
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
@mike
You can change it with this app: LCD Density Changer.
When I use that the app it shows the default value of 160.
Going down to 150 or 140 gives you more contents on the screen, but I really do not know what a goog value might be. Any ideas?
Thanks!

nevermind i guess killall is the only one that works
I noticed some of my apps like IMDB weren't showing the tablet version on the tab but rather the phone version. So I kept dropping the dpi down and found that 133 will enable apps that have a tablet version to show properly on the tab. But doing that will do some funny things with the calendar and email apps. They won't scale properly. Not to bad though I've been able to live with it.
Thanks, so you scaled down to 133. I will try it out.
My "problem", the Kindle app shows lots of line-space, I do not like. But scaling down does not really solve the problem, there is more text on the page, but relatively to changing font size the space between the lines remains the same.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get more densely packed lines?
Thanks!
S.
I like 120, it seems to have fewest graphic glitches among apps i use, but may be too small for others (according to my math it actually puts more on the screen than the 10.1 has, at a much smaller space).
At 130 and below my contact app and log would crash also nba jam wouldn't work
guys and gals,
I have been searching for multiple days on a way to increase the number of rows that surface supports for metro apps. see below for the reg tweak:
1. open notepad
2. post following line:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Scaling]
"MonitorSize"="12.1"
3. save as a .reg file
4. import into regedit
5. restart surface
6. enabled will be 4 rows and 9 rows in portrait when you go: settings: tiles: show more tiles
hope you all enjoy
edit: changed to 12.1 as you still get the 4 rows but the keyboard is bigger. any input is appreciated.
It also shrinks the virtual keyboard down to an unusable size.
this is just round 1 in the tweak. researching keyboard size now....

Works great. Will add to my tips thread. Best thing is that this makes us scroll less. Thank you.
Nice!
I don't have the option to enable more tiles..
You must do the following to get 9 tiles in portrait mode.
Hold surface in portrait mode
Swipe for charms
Select settings charm
Select tiles
Turn on option for show more tiles. This option only appears in portrait mode.

Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express
This actually also works on Windows8 x64 (in my case with my asus x202e laptop... A 11.6" laptop at 1366x768 but now with 4 rows instead of 3, awesome! Cheers
It will not work for me??
I just pasted the texted as shown in the OP and then imported to registry. However I only get 7 and 3 tiles. Am I doing something wrong.

Remove the space in the Registry Setting between "Curr" & "entVersion":
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Scaling]
Thanks a lot makes things so much easier.
I have the option in portrait mode, but landscape is still 3 tiles, and no option to add tiles. Any suggestions?
Also, I opened regedit, and inported the file - where did it go, how do I find it to delete it if I wanted to.
THANKS

Well, it goes to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Scaling". Just expand the tree nodes accordingly until you find it.
