[ICONS] Big3 Text Icons - Simple but Large Icons

I wanted to have text icons that didn't look as small on my EVO screen. So I finally downloaded GIMP and messed around with it till I found a font and size that worked and looked good to me. Best of all the icons are easy to see.
Based on the font and icon size, I could not fit more than 3 characters, plus I wanted to keep it simple. I have added 26 icons that are in white. I will add additional icons if requested.
I may add more colors in the future too. Enjoy!

I haven't used these lately, because I'm constantly changing my setup. However if there is something you want in particular. I can try and get it created.

dude thank you... you rock.... to bad i cant say the same about the miami dolphins..... lol.....

I really like these icons but when i try to set one of them as an icon with LP it says that it has encountered an error and is unable to open image. I would really appreciate any advice as to how anyone else got these to work.

I'm not using LP right now but have in the past and the screenshots are from when I was using LP. What error are you getting? How are you trying to change the icons?

For some reason I tried it this morning and now they are working.

First, I was using ApkTools to unpack the file, then I replaced images named quickpanel_icon_***.png with my icons and quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png with my background. After that I repacked .apk (again via ApkTools) and then I replaced these images and resources.arsc file with my modded packed ones in original .apk.
That's all.

Any chance to have this on stock 2.3.3?

Unfortunately, I'm just a humble modder. I don't know exactly what changes Wolfbreak did to make it work. Maybe someone more skilled could do that mod for stock rom. I would appreciate that.
Edit. I 've just tried to install the mod on stock...and it works!!!..Though needs more testing.

You mean installing your apk makes it working?? )

Yes. Just try to install zip via xRecovery by yourself and tell me does it work for you?

Nice icons,, Perfect !
Thank you alot

I can't believe... but it works, really... wouldn't even expected that it will ))) Thanks a lot!
BTW - can we have different kind of icons/action in the bar? I mean, instead of rotation, I'd prefer APN switch. Is it possible?

yeah they're kind of big but i like to keep the theme consistent and this is just what i wanted. thank you.
a little request (it's ok if you can't do it): another user fixed the notification UI to show the date when pushing the bar. Do you know how to do it?

Original SystemUI.apk
i forgot to take a backup of the original SystemUI.apk before changing it with this thread's one, can someone plz help me getting the original back?

really cool, I already replaced mine

Great work !
But, a configuration menu is possible ?

Theoretically yes. But we'll have to modify *.smali resources and that magic i can't do by now.

There is some chunk of resources for configuration menu in this mod but I think it's not used.
All tasks for additional functionality require finding the source of this mod or some kind of tutorial.

[TUT] Icon making and UCCW theming

Hi guys, Its been long a while I became a Recognized Themer...Now its time to share my little knowledge with all guys here so that you can also begin something...
What is required:
1. A good pair of eyes which can guess good colour styles.
2. A brain[Most important]
3. Photoshop or GIMP [This is the most important...PS is more advanced and good to use for any level but for beginning you can use GIMP...I used that only in beginning]
4. Bases and PS goodies to start with...Get them here [First get 592 icon bases so that You can go ahead...Then get all the videos there in case you need reference]
​
BASICS
» So what are icons???
» Attractive images you see on your phone for various apps....
So, They can be made in graphic manipulation softwares like PS, GIMP etc...Offcourse it depends on your needs because PS costs you while GIMP is free to use whatever time you want...​
FROM WHERE I SHOULD BEGIN?
» The answer is study the videos given by me well...They can solely guide you till your destination...Then this thread is for discussing your ideas and we can wor it out greatly...​
WHAT ARE SIZES PREFERRED?
» You know there resolutions like LDPI, MDPI, HDPI etc...So there sizes of icons are:
XHDPI - 96x96/144x144
HDPI - 128x128
MDPI - 48x48
LDPI - 36x36
You can use HDPI+ resoultion icons on lower ones BUT cant do vice versa because It causes excessive stretching and they look bad...​
Getting started with PS
Here is main panel guide for Photoshop [Mine is CS6 version but its almost same in every PS version]
{
"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"
}
RED - Tools panel: It contains all shape, paint, gradient, select and erase tools...
BLUE - Sub options of the selected tool i.e. if you select TEXT tool then it will show font and size etc...
VIOLET - Main canvas where you will be doing your works...
BROWN - Styles lay here which you will give to your Backgrounds and icons...
PINK - The layers panel where you can manage layers...​
REAL ICON MAKING STARTS HERE
Ok guys once you have done getting PS and other goodies,
Open up PS.
Click on File>> New and set size as 512x512 [A standard size which is always used by me for making a good resolution...This enhances effects we give and obviously when we tone down size it looks more beautiful]
So once done with this set Background to transparent...It will make the excessive space transparent to suit our desktop...
You can add any SHAPE and SIZES...Here for demo I am showing this -
1. Selecting shape :
Here I chose circle...So right click on shapes and you will get options to select your desired shape
So chose Ellipse tool here.
2. Adding Just border to circle:
So after adding ellipse make its size 490x490.
Above you can see stroke and fill options...Set no fill and select proper width of stroke/border...
3. Then you can give it any favourite effect...Here I'm giving TRON effect
4. Adding a Background to circle:
Press Control+Shift+N to create a new layer. Add again a ellipse little smaller than previous i.e. 485x485...
Fill it with matching colour. Then you have something like this -
5. Now take a close look at layers panel at right-bottom corner...There you have two layers...
Drag the topmost layer to bottom...So we will have a BG and a border up on that layer which will look tempting.
6. Now save the Style in form of PSD [Photoshop Document].
It can be opened again at any time and re-modded by you or anyone who wants...:good:
7. Now minimize PS and open the folder where you have put the base PSD from my link.
Drag one from them onto your ready background in PS. Then you can manage their shape as they open in edit mode. You can resize them and align them to centre by Pressing Select option on topbar...Then select all and select first tool on left side...You can adjust the way you want.then add them effects from right panel..
8. Resizing the done icon to desired size:
Go to Image on top bar and select image size option...select size 144x144 a very standard resolution which works on every screen resolution...
Then go to file>> save as>> save it with your name and don't forget to change the format to ".png"
9. Done now...You are really done​
​
It takes so much time to arrange the stuff and type so much so if you find atleast helpful then let me know and please post your doubts, works and everything here...will update more day by day to give you everything I have...
Press THANKS to show your appreciation as it encourages me to work more...​

There's a white theme already in playstore which is paid. So can't post it.
EDIT:- That theme is little bit grayish. So will it be okay for pure white theme.

Is there any way to put a light border around the individual keys in the original L theme?

Whatever you think looks better -- black or white. Probably a light black? just to be able to identify where the key ends.

New icon is the best one. Please change flat volume bar with material design.

I like the new icon but I think it would be better if make the blue darker or add some color variation, take an inspiration of the muzei icon, see attached.

For comparison purposes, here's what a material version of the old icon colours would look like:

Number 3..
Or is it already the one?

I like material version of old one, or #3 posted above the best. I think the new one is too flat/dull. Needs some darker colors and something to make the play triangle stick out more.

Doesn't look like everything else.
MX Player's old icon looked similar to many others- particularly PowerAmp, which I also use. Maybe a black border around the blue button?

the new icon looks great!!! thank you!

New icon looks more like the rest of 5.0 lollipop icons which is good, the old one looked really old.

I like this dark Material icon! Because too many blue icons in my drawer (attached screenshot), stop with this color please.
It would be possible to allow choose between this darker icon and current icon in settings @bleu8888?
BTW current icon is too flat, need to add a shadow effect.
Thanks!

I've carefully created a few versions of the icon redesign following Material Design guidelines (some of the examples above don't follow them at all, which is precisely what we want to avoid). I did my best in creating the proper shadows, highlights and everything:
Two iterations on both play symbol (both original from the current icon and system play icon in Lollipop) and colours (current [kinda, as it wasn't fully material, actually] and former MXPlayer colours).
I hope you like them.
