I have this icon I made in paint.
A .png icon that I used to replace the main widget icon for SMS Unread Count.
I don't know how to make the image all "background-less" you know?
I'll attach the icon. Can someone take away the black inside it, so it's only the white outlined icon that can be layered over any background.
I dunno how to explain that kind of image, but I think you know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, thanks.
how about I just make one for you,
what size does it need to be? (overall pixel dimensions)

Thanks. That one is 58 x 46.
I'd like it a little bigger. Let's try 62 x 50.
lets try 288x184.
Here is the download link.

That's great looking. I like the rounded edges.
But on my lockscreen, it's a taaaad too big.
Let's try 200 x w/e

No, the image file I use replacement on, is in the "drawable-hdpi" folder.
Those images are 128 x something.
I'm fairly new to PS so I figured I'd practice for you, lol. I don't know how to do the whole Dropbox thing though b/c I'm new to Android and stuff also, sorry.
Thanks, guys. I got it.

Its actually very simple, just watch a couple of video tutorials on using Shapes with photoshop. try tutvid.com or something like that.
did that size work out for you.. if not you can always just resize that image in photoshop or gimp, ect....

It's not out, but a system dump has already been released here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190
the bootanimation is made of two series of png files, not a gif as we are used to... i attached it, maybe someone can throw it together as a gif and resize it, this way we could implement it as a bootscreen.
edit: upload does not work from here...
Upload to somewhere like 4shared.com or mediafire.com and then post the link here.
Cheers
heres two animations

I resized it and applied it to my phone, but something went wrong, it's stuck in a crazy reboot where a messed up version of the animation starts off, then freezes, then starts over again

I can re-size them in CS4 when I get home from work if you like. A quick question 1st though, why are they in landscape format?

well, probably someone at google thought it would look better that way...
but we can try to put them on the hero in portrait aswell, i am afraid that it might look ugly if the picture doesn't fill the screen either vertically or horizontally

same here, please try again. we need an animated gif, not a jpeg.
I had to install GIMP to do it as CS4 sucks for resizing animated gifs. Anyway, here you go, resized to 320w x 480h and rotated 90 degrees CW. There may be some quality loss due to the resize but I'm not sure if that can be helped.

doesn't work looks just wired, some patterns are there, but it is totally crapped up.
edit: also gave me a bootloop. gonna look into the properties of the gifs now...
That's not good
There must be more to it than simply resizing and rotating the original file.
here ya go
the problem was that most of the png files were indexed colors with a very small palette. i converted them to rgb and made a gif that works. i had to resize the image to make it fit, i did NOT stretch it (no need as the animation doesn't touch the two sides). came out kinda nice, just try it. apply as update.zip in recovery, or use which ever way you like to get the files into your phone as always no responsibility & do a nandroid backup first
download the bootscreen and apply as update.zip
if you want to go back to stock go [URL='http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582336]here[/URL].
Thanks man, that's cool you figured it out.
I'm going to do a nandroid backup later anyway as I want to try a couple of themes so I'll give this a try too.

I know, that why I like transparent, maybe not very useful, but it just a new concept. , but this glass effect is more difficult for me than I expected..
I might could help if you tell me more specific what you want.
Here are the png files I would like to "create with your help":
One is for the status bar, this should be the red topbar in the pics of the first post.
And the seond one is the tray for the launcher, I post what I got so far, but it's still not looking how I would like.
I hope you understand what I mean now...
ok i did the files for you as close to what you showed in your mockup.
statusbar_background.png:
tray_handle_normal.png: this file is 40% transparent since that is what it looked like in your mockup. it looks grey because it is on a solid background here. however when you open it up in photoshop and gimp you will see that it is transparent.
good luck

What program are you using?
Most have an option to resize then you just save it. Enter whatever dimensions you want.
You might have to crop it to keep proportion, or deal with it stretching.
I am working on a new iconset so I wanted to post a preview.
If you guys like It I'll work on it.
Its look nice work on it ! (btw make pls 90x90 version .)
I like it! Only thing is I'm wondering if the icon will stand up when scaled down. Not a lot of people will use it in this particular size and I doubt if the white character itself will still be as nice as it is right now.
Maybe a somewhat more bold character will be more readable in a smaller scale. But the look itself I quite like for sure!
Here is a version with a different font
Looking forward to seeing more.
hope can have all set soon
Nice job pal..

Not sure if it matters, but I know we are permitted to use these images. One is an adjustment of a photo by a friend of mine and the other is the logo we used for a driving event at the Dragon (US 129 in NC/TN - incredible road!! [I drive an 04 R32 and it is made for that area - tons of twisties ]) and the logo was done from scratch by another good friend of mine...
Would be greatly appreciated... As is all you ALREADY do for us
can you change the color of the word suggestion? The color used for the word suggestion is some weird green on a gray background that makes it unreadable and I have to guess if its the correct word or not. How about a nice BOLD BLACK?
