Hey all!
This is kinda broad and vague form of asking for some serious Android Visual Mods, not digging upto the kernel tweaks and rom's. But the launcher tweaks and other addons. I know every bit of the users have their sort of inspirations and favorite modder/designers on board. I've been seeing a lot of daily homescreen customizations at mycolorscreen website, But I neither want the themer app to decompile them.
If you've got your shot of daily inspirations or any source elsewhere, please do share. Your favorite launcher with the range of wide usability concerned, icon packs and widget customizations and designing, favorite icon packs designer.
A screenshot of the screen's would be more informative. I hope this thread won't be counted to sharing the current homescreen/lockscreen shots.
Thanks.
There's a homescreen sticky in nexus 5 themes and apps already
My bad!, Please delete this topic then.

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.
This thing was inspired by newone757 (Layout thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455) and and his beautiful looking icons and idea. I ended up modifying the elegant steel theme as some of it meshed well with this concept and added some spiffed up the transition animations. This is in it's early stage and needs to be cleaned up some but i'm throwin it out there so hopefully I can get some feed back.

Icons are attatched at the bottom except for the colored tile ones.... Heres the direct link for them http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=391882&d=1283212553 and here is the authors thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769047
Good app to have for this is Colors and the Author is Tim Clark, you can find it on the market. It basically lets you choose from a variety of solid color wallpapers.
The animations have a little more pop to them if you set the transition speed to slow in spare parts.

Nice stuff
boot loops
This is awesome! Any chance for a sense version?
ded secksy!!
Except for the settings menu icons, they're a little bigg, imo
I've been planning to theme the AOSP dialer but I think I may not need to now. I love the minimal look on that one
Updated a few thing to make it look a lot better see first post for changelog. I also found that this theme runs smooth on 09/15 but not so much when I flash snap kernal 7.6. I am running it perfeclty on 9/14's nightly with snap turbo though.
Wow.. Once I saw the first swipe at this "7" concept, I knew there would be more goodies to follow... Since Elegant Steel is a pretty much grey/black/white theme, i'm seeing a version of this which has all of the large elements to it and page titles, but only in a gradient theme with no color.
Hopefully one of the launcher developers adds this functionality to ADW or LP in a more automated process, as its still somewhat of a hack to get the finished look.
Great work..

Yes you can just get the widget icons from here

looks nice... will try it out.
Is Snap simply not working on the nightly's past 9/14 then? I believe Spicytuna or Shift said in the Snap thread that the kernel size changed in the stock kernel after that, so that may be the reason.
I'm loving the theme. Is there a way to speed up the market cause search results take forever to pop up also, is there a way to fix the lay over on the search bar? Apart from these issues, wonderful job to all the people who made this possible.
what's the clock and battery widget?

Hey man ... Can u make this for the new rc 6.1. ? Orvthe last nightly. ? I love it.
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
Hey guys, I found this great new app that can theme your icons throughout the system!
You can now use *any* launcher you prefer and still have the power to customize how your application icons look like. Icon Themer is also more consistent because the icon theme is applied throughout your device and not just confined your launcher!
Here is the link to the thread!

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
Nova launcher...

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.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/QbPyg5yUHjPHHp5p8
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,
