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

Do you think it may have something to do with me designing the icons small rather than starting big and shrinking them?

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.

Stock clear taskbar by Rujelus on first page. If you are themed this will revert lockscreen, notification window etc
--
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can make a flashable clear/100% transparent taskbar and clear/100% transparent sense bottom bar launcher.
Ideally, the bottom bar launcher would be something like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=385691&d=1282488980
in burst's plurstaralpha theme, which is transparent but with visible interactive buttons
The taskbar would be similar to riptide's current
http://www.johnwishon.com/themes/riptide9.png
In similar threads i've seen at least half a dozen people ask for these things, so i wouldn't be alone in using these.
Anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
bump-------
I've been wanting JUST a clear taskbar for a while now. I don't want 4 million changes in a theme package, it's always one or two things I want. Wish they'd do a lot more splitting up of the mods so you can pick and choose what all you want.
I really want the clear bottom bar launcher. And the 3d app drawer.
What would it take to get all the devs together to create a Theme Kitchen?
Or maybe just the top 5 devs or something. Because there are some really nice themes out there, and like jlechner says, the ability to pick and choose parts out of themes would be really nice.

pretty sure konikub made one, as I have flashed it. I dont know if I have the zip but im pretty sure if you searched konikubs posts you will find what you are looking for. Here is his 2.2 theme post, not sure if its in here:

EDIT: I have something called DC-FRESH_AloysiusClearTaskbar-signed, search the forum for it if that is what you are looking for
Here you go, this is completely stock except the two things that you wanted. As far as making a kitchen, I have no clue on that.

Reapply whatever previous theme you had to replace the framework-res package that made these changes i think.
It looks good, and I do appreciate the work you put into this Rujelus, thank you
unfortunately, since I had manup's theming, it reverted my clear lockscreen, clear notification bar, clear calendar widget back to stock and left black bordering around some of the smooth revolution battery, signal etc icons.
I thought framework theming was seperate lines that were added/removed but looks like its more complicated than i thought : /

Like I said this is completely default except the 2 edits. These edits are just pictures inside framework-res and com.htc.resources there is no way that I know of to add something like this to the theme you already using unless you do the edits to the files that you are using right now. When you do an update.zip it will replace the whole file not just the edited parts.
Oh : (
Thank you for your efforts

Not yet, but... I've pulled the framwork-res.apk and modified the backgroud to the task bar and have attached the results.
I haven't modified anything else in the bar, hence the icons for signal etc are still blue/black... but I will do.
The only problem with this is what colour do you have the text on the bar, as the background in apps also comes through
(I was thinking that instead of a fully see through bar, that I'd create an opaque one when I get home, as I only have paint on this PC)
EDIT: I was also looking to modify the lock screen to be slightly opaque, to match the bar at the top
Will post updates here once I've done them
Looking forward to the results!

I can remove the background to the icons, there is just a lot of them and I am at work, plus I have photoshop on my mac at home, and only MSpaint here.
I'll see what I can do for the glass effect, and was thinking of doing a few different see through colour variants (i.e. black, white, red etc)
As before, I think the main issue is going to be the text, but if there is a tint of colour, it should be easy enough to read (we'll see)
Hopefully I'll be able to put up a very beta version today or tomorrow, including the lock screen mods so you can see how it will look.
I'll put a new thread up when I have this beta bit done

To be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't used the Metamorph app, so will give it a go.
I've been using adb to test
Update Time!
Quick update, its a little trickier than I originally anticipated, but more or the status bar icons have been updated (I still have a lot to do yet)
So, I thought I'd show what I have done so far...
As you can see, some of the test is difficult to see in the bar, but this should be fixed once I've get a decent glass like effect on the bar. If you're using a dark background, this is fine, but lighter backgrounds are not so good.
Also, the text and debug mode icons are not done, and some of the battery and internet down/upload icons are also not done (100 and 80% for battery are complete, and the icons where 3g is enabled but not uploading or downloading are not done.)
Still, I think there is decent (ish) progress, and hope to get something you can use after the weekend (maybe before it's out, but I don't want to follow SE's example of giving crap release dates )
PS. Sorry for the quality of the attachment, I use screencast through my PC which doesn't scale down well but is quicker than using a screenshot app on Android

Right, almost there with the black transparent bar...
Take a look at the screenies
I'm in process of writing an installer, but its late, so I'm not finishing it now.
What I have now will be the first version, I will be changing the lock screen and other home screen bluenesses (like where I have Vodafone and ongoing, I will make them match the colour of the status bar)
I will also be adding a few more colours, preferably from the same installer, but we'll see how that goes.
Finally, I want to change the white background on the status dropdown to be the same as the status bar, eg, in this case, black and transparent.
looking good dude

Indeed, this is lookin great. I do really really like the looks of the status bar.
An idea, I know your still in very early stage atm but when you release it with your installer why not make it configurable? What I mean is so when your installing it asks you what bits you want in your choice of colours. So it would be customisable and everyone could have a version of some spec of colour that would suit any theme.
This would make a great paid app if you ask me...

I had thought about trying a translucent status bar background before. Can't wait to see it.
I'm trying to learn about theming a little too when I have time...
ccan u share the files... we could also work on it .. while u can compile the installer
Looks really sleek and sexy. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Unleashed rls 3 very dark theme I changed all icons to black or grey.I prefer the words phone people text and web my app drawer icon is captain Americas shield. Sorry no pics. I use LPI from the market to change dock icons as well as home screen app icons. you can change your dock, dock icons and color of all icons.
I'm using 3 honeycomb icons, and then a text if phone and web
Here are a few sets that I made with PhotoShop...Marvel, Grunge, MegaMan2, and.....the cute one is for my wife's phone... I swear.
*Idle hands are the Devil's playground*
Im always looking for projects to keep myself busy, so if anyone has any requests, feel free to PM me.
If anyone has ever used Myns Warm... I would absolutely love to theme Launcher Pro to look like that.
It shouldnt be too difficult. from what i could see it is just a plain dock with 3 icons.
If you're referring to the 5 icon dock with words instead of pics, then download LPI from the market you can make that exact dock.
very nice. good job. I like this icons. thx a lot
Good afternoon
Im trying to find a launcher that has a shadow option for the icons. I've found one icon pack that has shadows built into the design but I don't like the icons. I'd like to be able to have shadows for any icon pack.
Is there a launcher that has this feature. I don't like flat icons with no shadows. I've tried installing an app that is supposed to do this but it doesn't work.
Please help
Thank you

Hi. I'm using and have been for years nova launcher. There is no option for shadows in nova launcher. I'm using the paid version and im on galaxy s9.
If im missing something in nova launcher please tell me.
Thanks
Look forward to reply
Does anyone remember ios6. I loved my first iPhone and the standout feature for me was the icons and shadows they really made the screen feel good. I'm shocked that I can't find a simple option for shadows in any launcher anywhere. There must be a launcher / Rom etc that has this feature
Please help
Looking forward to your replies

Hi.
That is for the label only. It's not for the icons.
I'm tempted to buy an iPhone 4s just to get shadows on my icons lol. Still searching launchers.
My s9 looks ok but I want more icon packs with shadows built in.
Any ideas for icon packs that have shadows in the design so they dont look flat
Have included a screenshot of what my phone looks like at moment.

Someone please there must be a solution to this seamingly simple problem. In a world where android phones are so customisable it would appear this simple feature isn't included anywhere. I'm still going through endless lists of launchers. Installing trying deleting over and over. I've emailed developers with no responses.
Please help
Thank you
Another new launcher called launcher 2018 saying drop shadows which was just an icon pack not a drop shadow option for any icon pack. Grrrrrr
Why can't I find an option for drop shadows on an android phone. Why is everyone so obsessed with flat icons... Grouch n hiss n growl I make while I search I whisper under my breath... Omg for f sake
This can't be happening. Its 2018 nearly 2019 someone please tell me where to look
Thanks
Can someone please help. This is afterall the best place for answers. I feel like I'm being ignored. I have autism and this is very important to me.. Please please help
Anyone?
Try using adapticons.
You can make your own icon pack with shadows out of existing icon packs or icons.
Iconzy is another useful tool to assist
Thanks but none of these are of any use. Applying a shadow in the icon doesn't give the icon itself a drop shadow. I'm looking for a feature in a launcher that does this or a tweak app that provides this feature. There must be a feature that does this somewhere in the android world. I refuse to believe we have to live in a world with flat icons. If you can remember back to the days of the original ios that is what I'm looking for. I don't want a drop shadow on the icon I want it behind the icon to give the illusion that they are a few mm away from the back ground regardless what background it is. If it were plain white you would see the drop shadow.
Thank you for your suggestion but I've been through them a while ago and dismissed them as they were not capable of doing what I wanted.
I continue the holy grail of drop shadows on android

I hope you are still following this thread, just like you, I don't like flat icon and want to turn back to older days, when we use icons like original ios. If you find them, please let me know. Cheers,

Hi guys so I've searched for themes online which enable you to have round stock icons. I haven't found anything of good quality so I decided to give it a go and edit one of the built in themes on Honor Play. With luck not only was I able to change every icon to round (Photos Above, only on big Icons!) using only the stock icons but accidently managed to make a theme that adds another feature, which is to make any other icon which is not round into a round icon (almost) and makes your icons look so much better! I kept everything else stock I hope you like the theme! All the adaptive Icons for calendar and weather have also been changed while still fully fictional. The only icons I did not keep stock were the Music, Themes, and the Audio icon as I found better looking ones. The lock screen has no wallpaper set as I have left it on Magazine unlock to make it easy for those of you who like to use that feature. I do apologize if I have made any mistakes during this post this is quite literally my first ever post.
The link to the .hwt file is below. This theme will work on any Honor or Huawei phone but was initially created for Honor Play EMUI 9.
The instructions to install once downloaded are Copy File into Internal Storage > Huawei > Themes > and paste into this folder > Restart Phone > Open the themes app > Me > My Themes > You should see the theme for selection so like any other theme Apply and enjoy!
Big Icons> Set home layout to 5x6.

Yes I know! Read what I have said if you want adaptive round icons you need to use the big Icons. I showed you Microsoft app icons because they don't support round icons yet in my theme they are round. On small Icons theme only the main apps will be round! So download the big Icons you will see every single app in your drawer will be round including your apps mentioned above.
