Database Info

Can anyone assist me in skinning a couple apps to match Beautiful Widgets?

While looking over at the request section in another forum, I saw an led flashlight control app that had a Beautiful Widget style skin over it. I thought this looked awesome and it made me purchase Beautiful Widgets so I could have all matching toggles.
I made a couple requests on that forum for other apps to be skinned, but they don't get the traffic this forum gets. So I wanted to see if any XDA members have the photoshop skills and Droid hacking know-how to skin another couple widgets in the Beautiful Widgets toggle style?
I would really appreciate it and would be happy to donate for your time and effort.

Animated Theme / Skins

I've been browsing websites home to UIs, theme makers, and forums like XDA... however I can't seem to find a UI or app that allows me to create or use animated themes.
By animated, I dont mean blinking backrounds, or car wheels spinning as your background picture.
I mean a theme that's buttons actually are animations or movie clicks.
For example, if you have a new text message, a banner will slide onto screen.
I have seen the wm7 themes for Throttlelauncher and WAD 2 have animations when some things are clicked, but from what I know, it is based on a code that blinks the images quickly. I could be wrong, or have no idea what I'm talking about.
Anyways, could anyone out there refer me to a UI that allows this, or a page that shows me how? Thanks!

Idea for a theme app for developers

I have an HTC Fuze Raphael basic rom with a few tweaks including mUns backgrounds for all tabs. I am a wallpaper freak & I constantly like to change it up. That means to see how my new wallpapers will look I have to go in & out of files which is time consuming. How about something where you plug in your phone to the computer your phones face shows on the computer screen & on the side you have all your background choices and everytime you click on a background it shows what your phone will look like with that wallpaper including what the tabs would look like too. Then how about an option to select a different wallpaper for each tab & viewing what it would look like. I also use Basic Hue Express which helps match the task bars to wallpapers. How about something that changes the task bar color with it too & having many choices of colors. Also the font style & color. If you want to get more into it have a selection of different clocks & icons. Then once statisfied click on complete & the theme shows right on your phone instead of downloading cabs or installing anything. Well thats my idea feel free to take it and run & make it better or add more ideas. Have fun developers! If you take on my idea keep me updated & let me test it out first hehe. Thanks! *Priscilla

[WIP][THEME][ADW/DV-BASED] LCARS Desktop

Hey Guys!
I've startet an attempt to create an ADW-based Desktop-Theme. This is no classical theme for icons or the status bar. It's just a selfmade wallpaper, some widgets, a lot of transparent dv-icons and some simi-folder-shortcuts.
After some hour of gimp'in, i want to share my first draft with you.
At the present time, i have made five homescreens. Only the main screen has some icons and functionality now (there also are some widgets, will upload some screenshots in a while). I decided to deactivate the adw-dock because dv-icons offer more options. The downside if this is that you have to create the shortcuts on the bottom of each screen.
What do you think?

I love it. Was a massive TNG & Voyager fan.
You'd get a lot more feedback if you post this in the Android - Themes section found here -- > http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527

Thanks a lot! I'll post a thread there when im at home. In the meantime i have done some major changes. The Buttons now have a color-scheme on every page.
Because of the 10 by 10 grid there are some limitations to the size of the buttons. Because of that there are some characteristics of the lcars design, that cant be adopted to this theme.

And here's the new thread!

very nice good

Simple reason is it would kill your battery. Also it would take a re-write if the android coding.

is it?
is it beacuse of battery only? we have many battery killing apps but we still do install

Did you miss the second part of my post? It would take a big re-write of the base android code as well as all the launchers would have to be redone. Causing launchers to eat tons more ram.
