What's a Rosie ?

Rosie is part of the sense ui. It contains icons that u use like the buttons u push for dialer app drawer and add. Use the search function. There is a FAQ out there somewhere that is buried that explains a lot of terms.

cant find certain files (for a theme)

i cant find the background for "all programs" in both list view and grid... does anyone know where they are located? preferable grid
and also the background for the all programs header.. i cant seem to find that either!
thanks!
edit*
let me add the background for the smaller people widget i cant find that either lol
maybe no one knows and thats why these arnt changed in other themes? lol
No, I've searched it myself and can't find an answer.
oh thanks for trying!
i wanted to change the background of the programs list also, never found the corresponding image file. please let us know if you find it.
Not sure if i understood this correctly but background for grid view in Launcher ? have a look at pattern_carbon_fiber_dark.png in drawable. Don't use rosie anymore, insteaded i swapped Launcher.apk with advanceLauncher.apk found in the dream section.

this seems to be the right file for the android stock launcher, since we are talking about rosie/sense launcher this doesn't help... thanks for the hint though.

this might be all_programs_header_title.9.png. at least the name suggests it
afaik you can't just alter these *.9.png files, but you'd need to look that up if it doesn't work.

thanks everyone! maybe il put together a list of where everything is...
and well im not sure but for anyone else who doesnt bother editing .9.png, i find that if the file covers a whole box (like a header) instead of covering part of a box(like bottom rosie buttons) then you can easily change colour by:
(using photoshop)
- create new layer on top of image
- paint it what ever colour
- right click the layer and bring down the transparency so you can see the detail
... this has never given me problems

[Q] Theming

Hi all, i have a quick question i need answering .
right, i've been searching all over the place for navbars, or rosies, or launchers etc, that arn't Launcher Pro or any other third party app. NOw i've nothing 2 threads in this section fo the forum, which make the standard 2.1 rom navbar slightly transparent. Not what i want to do is totally remake the navbar myself on photoshop etc. But i have no clue whatsoever how to do this, could anyone give me a quick, but simple step by step instruction on how to do this.
I've looked at 'how to theme' posts and threads but its all way over my head, as all i want to do is replace some of the image files for my own.
Thanks in advance, remember im a noob!!

[Req] CHT widget addon ( BOLD TITLES )

Hi all,
Now that CHT 2 is out and supports widgets... i know there are lots of devs who will design lots of widgets for CHT.
I proposed a feature a while ago based on the METRO look on Windows Phone 7 for page titles.
Since we can now add widgets i guess someone can design a simple widget editable to type Bold Titles and place them on each page on CHT.
I attached a sample image for what i mean..
since i have no idea on developing such thing, i hope someone will contact me for further discussion .
Also check out this for reference
BIG TITLES for different pages.
It really adds a sweet flavor for each page.

Hi typongtv,
why you post your answer not in the CHT main thread (co0kies home tab). There are the right people to ask for a upcomming feature?
Well, I really got lost, CHT used to be located on another thread , now it's on windows mobile APPS thread...
Anyways i will try there..
thanx for the heads up

[Q] Question: Icon Replacement Guide

Question Icon Replacement Guide
posted this in q&a- but had no response
Hi guys Im looking for guidance, I know it's possible to break open an apk file, find the .png being used for the icon and replace it with another .png. Can someone please guide me on how to do this, where to look , what to do, framework ect, I ve used the search button - but havn't found a definitive guide - looking at changing dock icons, txt, home ect and app icons. Ive found Android Asset Studio, which can be used to reform the icons for android - but unsure on the whole process.
Can someone shove me towards a definitive, easy to follow guide or produce 1 or give me a guide on at least 1 dock icon (software needed ect, ect)
Many thanks guys
you can use desktop visualizer to change app icons

Hi,
what's in your mind? Do you want a single APK that overwrite every .png files?
Do you wanna change the icon time by time?
I can't understand!!!
In any case, if u wanna get custom icons and replace them, u can use as WORGERM wrote, desktop visualizer.
A very easy app that allows you to insert custom widgets on homescreen (u can choose how big they have to do 1x1 2x1 3x1 etc) and the possibility to change the icon (choose it from your SD card) and the application to start when click on the icon.
To get the specific icons for replacement, i sugget you to use Photoshop.
I hope to help you with this post.
Bye

thanks for the responses guys, looking at individual apk, .png replacement and possible dock and probably apk icon pack edits
