I really like this clock:
{
"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"
}
However it takes up far too much space on the home screen. I was wondering whether anyone has managed to modify these widgets?
If it was the same as the small version of this clock:
This is not possible cuz of closes code of HTC's Apps
I was hoping it was possible. I've worked out how to add additional clocks at the same size (anyone good at graphics design could make some nice new ones), but I haven't figured out how the OS deals with the small clocks yet.
it's probably easier to create a new Android widget clock that fits the size you need. I do agree that a lot of those HTc Hero clocks take up way too much space. They are 4x3 widgets, but if you look at them, some resizing could easily take them 4x2. I'd find someone willing to make a new widget which would then work on the Hero and any other android phone as well.
Oh well. I'm not in a development mood at the moment. Will have to look at it at a future date.
Why not look here: /system/etc/clockwidget/
Looks like this is where the clocks are kept... No reason why you cannoy edit or add to what is already there....

I have already played around with those parts. Although the layout.properties file looks promising the spanX and spanY settings seem to be ignored. I resized the images, changed positions of the hands which worked, but it still occupied the same area of the screen (all be it with my visible space).
Have any ideas?
Maybe the settings are loaded somewhere else or they cannot be changed when rosie is running?

Well I pushed a new configuration and restarted the phone, but no luck
Turns out another dev has done A LOT of work on clocks, see below:

Hello there
i've been recently trying to make my own theme for CM. I've been quite successful so far, however i am still having some problems / questions...
- Buttons. i can't seem to be able to skin these... i used the blur's button .png's (which work fine un-edited) as they are RGB formatted... however, when i redraw the buttons, pixel by pixel, to the shape i want, it ends up being quite ugly-formatted:
{
"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 am using gimp to edit those files... any hints there?
- Widgets. Where are those located?
another question...
how to invert the list view colors? like in settings?
First, use photoshop. Better rendering, better options. I know gimp is free and photoshop is insanely expensive, but its worth the trade, especially if you're going to be doing lots of theming (batch scripting operations for color-modding multiple files=win).
Second, as far as the widgets go, those are going to be in the individual apks of the program running the widgets, not in the drawable system folder.
for the problem with the buttons not being rendered correctly on the phone, read this guide on how to sign .9.png files. after you do that, the images will look correct on the phone.

okay... i've got PS here, tried to install it too, but it just keeps on saying That it failed while verifying... gotta get it to run then...
alright, so for launcher widgets the files are in Launcher.apk?
power control widget = settings.apk
music widget = music.apk
calendar = calendarprovider.apk
analog clock widget = alarmclock.apk
picture frame widget = gallery.apk (last time i checked)
search widget = launcher.apk
Hi guys,
I was going to post this in general, but as it is possible development I thought it may best be suited here. Sorry if it isn't!!
Anyway, I'm no developer so I don't know if this is even possible, hence why I thought I'd throw it out there.
What I was thinking is, as a user of the flip clock and also using Stericson lock screen, I have the time in full view of my home screen / lock screen all the time.
The fact it is in the top right corner is of no use to me really. It's also apparent that when you have several icons in the notification bar (especially when plugged in on USB) it gets crowded and tends to hide alot of them.
What is the feasibilty of removing / hiding the clock from the notification bar, and moving the 3g/wifi/bt/battery icons into the right hand corner?
Would this actually be possible? I know this wouldn't suit all users but some people may like this as it would give more space for other icons to appear there.
Any Devs care to elaborate on this?
Thanks.
If you wanted to hide the time, you could just make it transparent using Ohsaka's colorChange.jar. Of course, that wouldn't help with the crowded icons.
I like the time in the right corner, useful for when I'm browsing the web on a break from work.
Or try alternative home app: Home++

Sadly this has been asked quite a few times, problem is they wont answer even though people want it.
I guess for now home++ is a good alternative - though I do like using advanced launcher, so removing it properly from the notification bar would be better.
I guess it's just one of them things - although an official yes or no it can't be done would be nice from a dev?!
Thanks.

which on are you using ?
I searched through here for a bit, but didn't seem to find anything that specifically addressed my issue, so here goes.
I've recently started trying to theme a ROM, CM based on 2.2, and I'm having scaling problems. I ran into the same thing on some 2.1 ROMs, so I don't think it's Froyo related. Basically, buttons, text boxes, and drop downs are getting all weird on me. The buttons and drop downs are fine in their resting state, but get all ridiculous when pressed.

I have checked image modes (RGB/Indexed), size, color palletes, etc. and all of it matches up to the originals EXACTLY. The only thing that might have changed is the file size.
I know plenty of you guys have this working just fine, so what's the secret? I have Gimp which I use at work, and Photoshop at home. However, Photoshop tends to lose information in Indexed images so I try to avoid it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Edit: And yes, some of the taskbar icons are from other themes, and I take no credit for them. This is for my PERSONAL use and will never go further than my phone. Thanks droidkevlar and sunder74.
You stealing my stuff now? WTF. FIRED!!! ;P
You sure the images are the same size as what the OG was? I had this same issue until I installed PS and resized my images to the correct size. Just taking a shot in the dark, but seems the when pressed png is off on size. I had this issue for select boxes. Once resized, fixed issue.

Just the badass signal thingy, which is now my badass battery thingy. Yeah, they are literally identical. I don't know. Makin me crazy.
Lame thread title, I know, but I need someone that knows a lot more than I do to help out with a couple ideas I have... I have 8 themes out for 3 ROMs for the Moto Droid 1 so I'm legit... lol
IDEA 1: NO MENU ICONS - System wide though..
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

On this screen shot all but 5 of the icons are gone, just an enlarged text instead like the expanded menu... I left that 1 icon as a reference.. All I did was make the icons 10x10 and transparent and made the text bigger.. pretty simple. But all this will do is make all the system apks I theme have that effect.. but if a data/app is used, the pop up menu will have an icon AND enlarged, cut off text... Can't have that now.. My question is "is there a way to have the system bypass even calling on or using ANY menu icons across the whole phone?.. Like put an @null somewhere?... The idea would be cool and I wanna complete it so any help would be great....
IDEA 2: ANIMATED LOCKSCREEN/ PULLDOWN - No screen shots for this one but I'll explain it.. I'll leave the pulldown out since I haven't messed with it yet, even though it was my original idea back in December.. The concept to have both or just 1 of these run a cycle of pngs to create an animation.. like live wallpapers do, sort of... then themers could use those png's to create their own animations... it's something different and I think would be very cool....
In res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml the background is usually pointing to #70000000 for a 70% transparent lockscreen background.. I write in @drawable/lockscreen_background and toss a png into the drawable-hdpi folder cause I like having a set bg for my lockscreens... What I did is make it @drawable/lockscreen_bg, wrote(copied the stat_sys_upload.xml) a new xml named lockscreen_bg and put it in the res/drawable folder.. I set the duration to 200 and had all 6 of the test anim.png's listed just like the stat_sys_upload/download have, then I tossed 6 png's into the d-hdpi folder.. it compiles up fine and once applied, It reads the first anim.png but doesn't cycle them... upon some reading, I think I have to tell it to run() or start() the animation but that's a little beyond me.. the pulldown would actually be quite similar to the lockscreen background if that one is even possible... but it DID read my xml and read the first png in that xml so I think I'm on the right track.. I just need some help from anyone that has some insight into how animations run... thanks...
Hey I'm looking for the HTC sense weather widget blue grid background(s) but I just can't seem to find them, I've downloaded two different sense ROMs that have them but can only find the icons.

I have a feeling they could be located in a .m10 file called: Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10
Does anyone know where I can locate it, or if I can open up .m10 files and get the image I can only get the text of them so far, looking around for different tutorials.

found a tutorial, but still having trouble.
For you
Day

Night
BTW you can use the Wallpaper Changer from the Google Play to change morning, day and night wallpapers according to the set times.
Does someone know the changing times of the lock screen wallpapers?
And just for the record: in the above post the day wallpaper is morning and vice versa.
Thanks for your help. For future reference in case someone is searching for the same question, the reason why it didn't work is because the M10 Editor that I was using can't decompile Sense 4.0 at this time - so I used Sense 3.0 files.

I've been using Tasker to change the wallpaper at different time (can't do lockscreen wallpaper AFAIK), I only set up two wallpapers though but I made the wallpapers the right dimensions for my phone - HD2 obviously and I'm NexusHD2 with the DPI set to 192 (not sure if it makes a difference to wallpapers (don't think so).
So you just need to disable wallpaper scrolling.
This pack has the three wallpapers 960x800 4.39 MB
Thanks gonne try this with tasker for the nice effect what you got on your hd2
