I posted this Idea on PPCgeeks and was told to better post it here since all the GREAT developpers are here.
What would be really cool, if some developer would mod/tweak the weather tab or the weather on home screen with women animation for sene 2.1 and 2.5.
Example:
1-Sunny - an animated swimming suit model
2-Cold - a animated women with white coat on
3-Windy - animated Marilyn Monroe with her signature pic, flying white dress
I think that would be nice and an extreme hit.
Clever idea.
Not a developer, but most of the weather apps simply use a different numbered .png file for each condition. It would be fairly easy to replace them with static images of different woman pictures. The animation may be a bit trickier...
hahaha... I like the idea
Great idea. i hope it will be done some day=)
Most of the work for this would be more graphical and skinning then actual software development.
So i moved this thread.

You're so right ! people want skin and very graphic descriptions
I can help with the image editing if anyone can tell me details on what would need to be done
Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about it, but you could ask HERE or even track down and ask directly the 2 users who made the mods you can find in post 5 of that thread. Just read a few pages back from the end.

well can be done with towolfs 3d weather... it uses the swf file for the animation so you need to make appropriate swf file and change it....
wow~i like this idea!! this is so cool
looking forward for this
Woah...
This is an awesome idea, and I can't WAIT until this is done. I'll def be following this thread. Let's make it happen.
and maybe a version for those of us that like the boy types?

Hi guys, well not to make a short story long, i cut down a few images some of you might reckognize, to fit the xperia screen res and just thought that some of you might find them useful... enjoy!
edit:
i just noticed that i put this in rom dev; could one of you mods move this to the general x1 forum please? my bad;
12th Feb '09 edit:
ok so i added a few more, just because i got bored and didn't have anything better to do... enjoy
and where are the wallpapers? only these four?
How many bananas before you have a bunch?
One, a couple, a few, a bunch, many...?
i would say that four walls this is a few wallpapers, a bunch is a little more. this is how i understand the word "bunch".
just to rest your case i will therefore change the topic of the thread to make it more appropriate :> also, apologies for those mislead and lured to read this thread by an empty promise of 5+ wallpapers
It's still misleading; a few is three and you've got four....
I suggest googling for eee pc wallpapers -it has the same screen resolution as the x1 and there are hundreds of nice pics around the net.
here are a few more guys

That's a BUNCH more wallpapers, ain't ??
PS: Attached goes my banana, I just love this image so much I copied it from the ROM and exported it to JPG. I use it as my splash screen instead of the freaking green windows image
Edit: some more bananas to the bunch (a "Vaio" banana and a couple of Sony alpha)
this is my theme-skin for WAD, perhaps will never be published ...

i dont use wad & dont like this theme anyway but still curious whats the idea to post this if you dont share...
well, don't sharing this is not a shame imo, but I am also wondering why you bother to make a new thread on XDA without any attention to share. How many things are you using on your phone what is shared by other people who are putting time and effort in their projects? Is that not one of the great things of this community?
I really am missing the point of your post...
Cheers,
Arnold
forget to say that is based on a skin called concept modern and do not think it public because the share could be errors or failures (no yet) and would have no time to repair for use on another pda

It really doesn't look like Windows Phone 7. At least, doesn't look like what was shown on MWC, but maybe skin author was inspired by some version a bit closer to final, which looked like that.

Hi,
Lookin for a digital clock skin, i don't like the look of that double flip clock in Sense, i found lots of analogic clocks.But i find few digital clocks.
I decides to make one for my own, but i culd find how make one.
Could someone explain?
If relevant i'm using CHT 1.8.5
MOD EDIT: The answer to this has been moved to it's own thread as a tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781773
Thanks
Fine tutorial, kingpin, it should be marked as sticky - for the thousands of requests..
In my experience for replacing the graphics I use your faster method: after using the export-function in cfc_gui the pngs can be handled with a graphic-software (I use Paint.Net, professionals take PS...) and after that direct by using the import-function (as you described) transformed to manila-files... (than the user can choose compressing or not).
Btw, I'm waiting for your new clocks and graphics in addition to the wonderful glass-shelf..., excellent work!

Thanks and yes a sticky may be helpful I just joined XDA in June and I believe it took me about a month to find the info I needed to skin manila
UltraHQ conversion is painful though typing cfc -pc 50x gets tedious, I haven't found a batch conversion method for it yet.
Glad you liked my glass shelf theme I'm about 1/2 way through on new one, but sadly I don't have as much time anymore so may not be released until the end of this week.
Thanks kingpin, this is what i need.
I search a lot but i couldn't find it.
Thanks again

Wow that is a very fast reaction. I am rellay surprised. It is every time fun for me to work with xda. Thank you sirphunkee
Thanks guys, glad to help out; I know how hard it is to find clear info on this kind of stuff
Okay so first of all, let me just say, I have no idea when it comes to creating a theme for any platform, so nothing I post up here will never be created because I just don't 1, have the time to learn how-to and 2, I don't want to learn how to, excuse my ignorance.
However, I do know my way around photoshop, so with a spare hour at work today, I started to create this.
By all means, if someone with the knowledge wants to take a shot at converting this, go for it, just let me know before you do .
*Few more icons added!
*What the homescreen could/might look like.
It's very simple and eye attractive, looks good. i can't do anything though, same as you in that department.
Clearly this isn't going to go anywhere, worth a try though.
Sadly, I do not have any practical experience in this subject, but this topic does have a tutorial on what you need to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8504851&postcount=2(the topic currently says that the tutorial is 'temporarily down..' so just keep checking it, I would assume he is modifying the tutorial to make it work with gingerbread roms) To create the battery and the white app slider background, you would need to modify the Framework.res.apk
I think this theme looks great, although I do not know the limitations of themeing in sense 2.1 roms; so may need to ask an experienced themer on which method to take, flashable.zip or Skin Chooser theme.. My best advice is to ask the guy who made the thread I linked to you, as he has converted many themes, if he has the time; and you can supply the images, you'll have a working theme in no time
I already cooked the frameword-res.apk last night, it looks odd because the kitchen doesn't theme the recent apps section so that has got the carbon black look that Sense has, I think the theme would be really nice and clean, and could be done in a variety of colours to treat each persons needs. Simple and effective!
If anyone would like the cooked framework let me know, like I said, it's far from done. We'll call it Version 0.0.0.1
Looks really nice, clean and minimal
Would like to se it finished and in some darker color - greyish
That's what I was just saying, in a variety of colours so each user could choose their own from a selection. Like I said, I'd happily finish creating this but only if it's going to go somewhere.

Maybe you could pm he_stheone64 about help to do this, he knows his way around theming with the new gingerbread framework. As I understand a few things has changed from the old 2.1 to the new 2.3 release.
Hope this will succeed for you
I don't WANT to approach anyone, if someone has some spare time on their hands and wants something to do, I'm sure someone will say they would like to convert this for us. All I want to know is whether or not I should finish the PSD's, VOYE VOTE VOTE

Ohh you misunderstood me I didn't mean that should approach him for him to do this theme, just as a heads up for you to get help on how to theme. My bad I misread your first post

Hence the 'Inspired' in the title
IconDatabase.net is a community-driven collection of free icons. You can search by name, set, artist, style, or app, making it easy to find exactly what you're looking for. Any registered user can add icons and help maintain the site, so it should stay fresh and up to date as the community grows.
Current Features
Artist database
Icon set database
Icon database
App database
See similar icons for the same app
Filter icons by name, app, artist, set, color , or license
Registered users can add content
Donation system to help give back to artists
Under heavy construction
I'm just getting started on this project (only a week in so far), but the goal is to grow it into the best and easiest place to find icons. Let me know if anything's broken, doesn't make sense, is missing, or anything else for that matter. I want to get as much feedback as soon as possible so I can make sure the site's useful for both artists and users alike.
Planned features
Discussion boards
Rating system
Favorites/bookmarking system
.. much more ...
Community Building and Management
Aside from being able to upload new content, registered users can comment on just about anything. I'll also be adding discussion boards soon(ish). All of this means there's great potential for community discussion, interaction, and collaboration. It also means there may be a lot to monitor to make sure people aren't abusing the site. I'll be looking for moderators to help keep an eye on things. Please let me know if this is something you might be interested in doing.
Adding Icon Sets
I'm in the process of adding as many icon sets as possible. I've written an automated system to upload icon sets in bulk, so let me know if you have an icon set you would like me to add. Please include a preview picture, URL of the set's home page, and a link to download the icons.
Many icon sets have threads here on XDA, and people often contribute icons not made by the original set's author. It's harder for me to upload those since I can't do them mass like the full set. I could use help adding individual user-contributed icons. Just be sure to create an artist page for the poster if one doesn't exist already.
Adding Artists
Artists work hard on their icons, so it is very important to give them credit and link back to their profiles. In order to do this, please help create artist pages (must be registered on the site) as you add icons to the site. Be sure to include the URL of their main profile page. Each artist page will display a little about the artist, as well as their latest icon sets and individual icons.
If you are an artist, be sure to create a page for yourself (must be registered on the site) so that you can manage your page's content. If there is already a page for you on the site for your work, let me know so I can set you as its author and give you access to change it.
Adding Apps
One of the great things about IconDatabase.net is that you can easily see and filter all of the available icons for specific apps. Part of setting this up is specifying what app(s) each icon belongs to. I'm doing my best to figure out a decent automated system to handle this, but in the meantime, I could use help with editing icons and adding the app(s) they belong to. If you do not see an app listed on the site, feel free to add it (must be registered on the site.) Just be sure to use the "add an icon" link once the page is created to add the official icon.
In conclusion ...
Let me know if you have any questions or requests. The site is definitely in its early stages, and I will be adding features and info pages based on your feedback.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure it's time for a bit of an update.
Since my initial post, I've figured out how to automate a lot of things, which has allowed me to start populating a lot of the content (i.e. upload sh--tons on icons!). As of this post, IconsDatabase.net lists 43 different sets, for a total of 16,000+ icons! I'm adding more each day.
You can now follow the latest icon sets added to the site via RSS.
I'm also starting to dive into Android development, and will look at building an app to easily select icons from a launcher for quick theming.
Looking forward to getting people's thoughts.
Another quick progress report...
I've added basic discussion boards to the site. That's by no means the most important feature, but I figured I'd get a little community interaction going, or at least the potential for it.
You can also subscribe to pages now to receive emails when they are updated or a new comment is posted. This should be especially useful for artists that want to be instantly notified of comments posted to their page or icon sets.
I may add a "request an icon" to the site soon(ish), whereby you could directly request icons for a specific app in an icon set and the artist could review the most requested apps to know what to work on next. I could also use this to generate a global "most requested apps" page so artists know what to start with for new sets.
Thoughts?

Good to know it's appreciated by designers. I've created an artist page for you here, and features your sets here, here, and here. If you care to register on the site, I'll make you the owner of those pages so you can make any changes. You can also subscribe to any of them to get email notifications when they are modified or comments are added.

Yeah, if it's not mobile friendly, then it would kind of defeat the purpose. It should be even more friendly within the next few months as I learn my Android programming and develop the companion app. Then all you'll have to do is select the app and browse to the icon you want when editing launcher icons.
New Ideas (need feedback)
I'm playing around with a new new ideas, and would like to know how people feel about them, and which features you would like to see implemented first.
Ratings
I'll probably be adding a 1-5 star rating system for artists, icon sets, and icons. This should be pretty easy. You'll also be able to sort things by rating.
My Apps
I'm thinking of letting people flag apps that they use. This way you could see a quick list of all your favorite apps.
Personal Custom Sets
Say you like the Gmail icon from one set, but you like the Shazam icon from another. Personal Custom Sets would let you combine icons into a single set.
Download Launcher Icon Packs
This would let you download auto-generated launcher packs and apks for easy installation on your phone. You could do this for official icon sets, or for personal custom sets (described above.)
Thoughts?

Thanks for taking the time to let me know in what order you'd like to see features implemented.
I'm sure I'll be able to figure out the icon pack structure, but if you want to send some code (or links to tutorials) my way, it'd save me the 60 or seconds of searching I'd have to do.
I agree that the site's design is horribly lacking. I'm a programmer, and am not very good at design. What I need most is design mockups (PSDs for example) that I can translate into the site's template. I like the idea of a Holo color scheme. If anyone wants to take a crack at a design, I'd be most grateful, and would of course give them credit in the site's footer.
P.S. DSaif, I take it those three icon sets you uploaded are actually icon backgrounds that style existing icons?

Apex Launcher Tutorial (the same will work for Nova Launcher)
I want to contribute to the site's design.
Yes, they're just backgrounds which automatically theme every icon. It's called iconback & iconupon feature. I took that approach because it's hard to theme every icon and users are not satisfied. I'll start making special icons for home screen soon. Will take Holo Icons and style them.

I've created an easy(ish) method of uploading sets, but as of now it involves FTPing things and directly modifying a script I wrote. I'll push it into a proper module for the site at some point. Until then, I''ll just keep upping things as fast as I can.
I'll add the icons you requested.
