Hi
Icons of stock applications on Samsung devices with touchwiz and Android 6.0.1 are displayed bigger than icons of 3rd party apps. It is dependent on the "pixel-weight" of the icon, here an example.
{
"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"
}
If I draw a small border, the icon has almost the same size as the stock ones, but if the icon content is filled, touchwiz shrinks the icon. This normalizer is also known on the Nova Launcher, but possible to disable. Is there a way to disable the normalizer on Samsung stock devices? I have root access.
My goal is to create an icon in the shape of the stock icons. I haven even exported the icons of stock application (*.qmg to *.png), which will be shrinked too.
Found the solution in a stock Samsung Application AndroidManifest.xml
You need to add the following line into the <application> tag in the mainfest.
Code:
<meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.icon_container.has_icon_container" android:value="true"/>
This works with *.png and *.qmg icons too.

Personally I thought the folder icons in LEO are ugly, and I remembered seeing a set of nice folder icons from Dutty's ROM, so I took that and further extend that to other folders such as messaging and internet.
I don't want to claim full credits (despite creating some of the icons myself) but because I do not know the full origin (I think it might be HTC TouchPro2 default icons but I am not sure), pardon me if I've taken your work w/o any reference.
Here's the screenshot, and the icons. You can use JWMD app or CSMI app to change the icons. I can forward you the theme file if you like, so that you don't need to set the icon manually yourself.

"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"
}
I'll truse it with that log "Change Start Menu Icons (CSMI) v1.3"
Thanks

but one question: i want to create folder icons myself. how can i change them in the startmenu, so that each folder can have a different icon? can i use png?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if such a widget exists that essentially creates an adjustable black box that you can send behind widgets (send to back).
I use an old widget called "Advanced Clock Widget" that lets you hide the clock and data, essentially doing the same thing... but that's all I use it for.
Like this.
{
"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"
}
These are different widgets with transparent backgrounds and this helps create a uniform look.

(in case the picture isnt showing for some reason)
Maybe you can use KLWP (Kustom Live Wallpaper) app for this purpose. It also has a Widget version.
It basically allows you to create customized live wallpapers and widgets.
thanks ill give it a shot

Screenshots
Since in Gmail and some other apps the buttons barely show under a white background (somehow the app does not switch the navigation background correctly, so you end up with white icons on white background), I created this theme for the tablet with the official Sony Theme Creator.
You can just download and install it - go to apps -> Downloads -> open the apk. It is unsigned but works with the inbuilt official Sony Theme "Designs" section under settings, where you activate the new theme "Status bar with shadow" It is named wrong there, but will change the nav bar...
The only thing modified are the navigation bar icons on the bottom, I have added a shadow and some more outline so they can be seen. Below a picture how the navigation bar looks like in the current Gmail app. Before the outlines were barely visible.
