Help Skinning for QVGA resolution - Android Themes

I'm looking for some help skinning the dialer for qvga resolution. I'm looking to change the size of the background on the dialed numbers but I'm not sure which png it is. you can see what I mean in the gif file I attached to the post.
Any help would be totally appreciated
Thanks

Hahahaha....
I don't think this is gonna happen.
I've been searching for hours trying to find a QVGA/LDPI MetaMorph theme... No luck, let alone a guide to make one, in any way conceivable...
So I bump this for common(ish) interest.

wow!! it's SNOOPY!! My favorite comic in my childhood!!!^^
thanks for your share
Great theme....thanks pp18's effort
considering there are quite some variants of M3D, i have doubt on which device(s) this theme works. to those who have tested this theme, grateful if you could give a feedback under this thread and i'll consolidate the testing results in post #1 for others' reference.
thanks.
gah! you have Charlie Brown as your friend and he keeps calling you!!??!
nice theme btw!
does it work on rhodium?
sunwee,
hehe... Charlie Brown is the placeholder for contacts without a photo. so, can have a lot of Charlie Brown in the contact list.
Deiota,
theoretically this theme should work on Rhodium as well. grateful if any brave soul can give it a try and let me know the testing result.
wow it's sooooo cool man
reminds me my childhood's favourite toy
Please do not cross-post across multiple forums. I've found 3 different threads so far.
Since this theme is available in multiple resolutions, I suggest editing your title to reflect that, and then listing which devices it "should" work with.
Images
Hi pp18, I am another fan of peanuts! I have a request for you: can you share the images of the theme (in png or other type)? I would use them for a Wad skin (I have a Polaris, no m3d...!) Thanks in advance
allanon,
basically you can use CFC GUI to re-engineer the theme image files back to .png.
after all, i'd recommend you not to do this from the m3d theme for your Polaris due to the big difference in screen resolution. instead, you may extract .png files from my [email protected] theme. simply follow the hyperlink in my signature.

Help with title_bar_shadow.9.png, please

I'm creating a new theme, but I have problems with this file. I followed some "how to" guides, but I still don't get it.
This image should make round corners, but I always get a wrong-stretched image. I have been working on this for some days and I don't get, maybe I'm too stupid, can somebody help me?
PD: of course I used drae9patch and other method, but , no way
just make it 320 pixels in width and you can avoid signing it.
draw9patch is useless without having eclipse set up. eclipse is what allows for the stretching to be maintained. however, like david said, you can just scale the image to that width without having to worry about using the more complicated methods of stretching/compiling a .9 png.
I thought about this too, what, you know, that's the easy way and I wanted the hardest and best way, but I didn't know that eclipse is necessary for this. Now, I know, and until I learn about eclipse, I will use your method.
Thanks to all!. It's nice to have guys like you here

hehe, you're doing what I did with Darkstar I can edit the .9.png for you, but what'd be the fun of that? you've got to edit the .9.png so that it only stretches the area between the black curves. If you've already done that then the problem is how you're using eclipse. It is really tricky to get eclipse set up to work right, but you need to do it eventually if you plan on making themes. Just keep reading through the tutorial and you'll get it eventually ^_^ It took me a long time to figure it out at first too

Of course, I'm using this idea, remember I asked for help by private message, because I think this size fits better with the widgets in your theme, but I didn't get answer, so, I decided to make my own theme and ask for help in a own threat. I was going to give you credit in the future theme's thread for the idea.
My problem was, that I didnt use eclipse, that's why I got crazy. So, until I learn how to use it, I'll use a 320px png.
Thanks
if you use 320px width then in landscape mode it'll looks bad..

when it is an image like that without much detail it will look fine, i know because i did something similar to what the OP was wanting to do. if you do it with an image that had a lot of small detail then it will look odd in landscape.
What Barina said has sense, but I tried and, as David said, it still look fine.
So it works, thanks, again
You can see the results here, later I'll post a screen of landscape too

Ohhh very nice! Glad it worked for you and waiting for the landscape version

klawell theme Win7 for WAD2

Guys, I need a help on a skin of win7 what I did:
1 = need someone who knows how to make animations in WAD with mortcript, like the one that sucker lesscro did, lol
2 = need a program that records a video of my own cell phone screen, to post for you.
3 = the theme is FREE, and you may be sure, is much more beautiful than the QVGA lesscro, with all transitions, just need help with finishing touches, I animated hubs, the hubs and the hub contacts images. but if possible all hubs with animations, I just need to learn how.
4 = with help from XDA, also succeeded, to the page with the integrated S2P, was very good!!
XDA I look back, we will show together for lesscro that not only he who can make good themes.
You should respect other members. Lesscro actually did a very good job, and you cannot hate him for that reason. Do what you want to do with respect to others, and we will look forward to your work

not criticize his work, but his selfishness ..... come here to ask for help if you can not help, please do not come to give moral lesson ...
video prev.
excuse the bad video, but I'm at work and the light here is very intense, then put another better video ....( waiting partners) ...

What resolution are you doing this for?
And I noticed you cut down to 5 icons per page any reason for that?
What phone device did you do video on?
Seems like animations are sluggish or do you have scripts for animations set to slow or medium?
good day.

I have been out of the winmo devices for alittle while was building roms and themes then went to Blackberry and now back. But by seeing this post it seems that you do need so moral lessons on your sarcasm and attitude towards others leonardoaraujo. So look unto yourself before uttering words about others.

Requesting help creating GDE themes

I have tried opening the original default GDE theme to give myself a basic template to work from. I edited many photos and have a theme ready to use, however I would love to change the name and information which is stored on the AndroidManifest.xml.
Last night I installed Eclipse and all android addons, however the AndroidManifest.xml in the GDE skin I've tried editing, will not open in Eclipse.
As I am new, I'm positive I'm doing something erroneous that's simple to fix or solve, but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anybody who replies.
Jon.
Nevermind!
I'm an idiot, it literally took less than an hour of reading and investigating the xda forums.
Found the APKTool to edit and change the original GDE theme.
For those of you who actually look for themes for GDE still rather than metamorph, be looking for my themes.
Jon.
sounds promising.
.. GDE has been a bit dead lately..hopefully u can revive it.
I hope. I've tried all the home replacements, and GDE is the only one I'm really interested in. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm working on multiple colors of the hero first, nearly finished with them all..
If you all know any specific theme types I should work on that would target some crowd, all suggestions are appreciated.
theres a nexus, hero, cliq, and few other device ui's that are badass which have all been created..but no one has created an Espresso one..might wanna give that one a gander.
Funny, I didn't think of trying any of those, however the only one you mentioned having not being done yet, is the one that inspired me. Haha, I have an espresso one. It was created by someone I believe from this very community.

I like that one ! Great job.
"No it is not a Droid", I love it. Perfect for those dummies who call every single Android phone a DROID. I get tired of explaining it to them.
Nice work guys. Thanks for expanding my splash collection!
Would be great to get a bios splash screen for the slide.

I think that this is possible, but dont know how
You would have to convert it back to png and then change it and then convert it back. Or you could just take the preview and change the size of that and then convert it to splash1
real nice, thanks.
