newbie who needs alot of help. - Captivate Themes and Apps

im new to android and im wanting to customize my captivate. i have launcher pro plus and ive tried to download a few icons and it says it cant open the file. the main one i remember doing is the silver ring on the birdman icons. can anyone help me to like a how to of some sort on how to get things going in the right direction or something.

Well i would start by rooting your phone. Im not sure but i think alot of themes ans icon packs require root. I am on my phone now so cant post links for you. But look for the one click app. Its easy to do.

i rather not root is there somethings i can do without rooting right now.

There is an app on the market called launcher pro icons. You have to pay for it but it is relatively cheap. Here is a sample
{
"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"
}
Captivate

Need a clock

I know I don't have any posts so I expect some grief but what is out there for just clocks? I don't like having a lot of stuff on the screen so I don't want to use the HTC home, I would like something that just has some analog clocks on it but I am having trouble finding anything. I saw a couple people that had some screenshots of them but no info. BTW I am using this vista ultimate theme so something kind of sleek would be cool(no cartoon clocks)
BTW, I have used the search on here so I don't need anybody to post that a million times. Anything you guys have would be appreciated.

With this also you can change font size and put any font you want to it... Take a closer look...
get the today plugin from here:
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_im_cs.htm
the customisation part is how you go about, well customising the clock etc:
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_cust_im_cs.htm
Let me know if you want my theme/clock and ill post the xml up... becuase i tweaked it to include bluetooth/wifi status as well as the graphic to make it look like the OEM wireless plugin....

Windows Mobile 6.5: turn off honeycomb?

I'm running a ROmwhich has the honeycomb icon layout. I find it terrible. It's so hard to find anything, it looks cluttered and confusing... Is there a way to get it to list things as a grid instead?
Yes there is a app available that will show everything in a list, unfortunately I can't remember the name but you should be able to find it via the search option.
I'm also desperately looking to disable the HoneyComb effect... I hear the economy is bad and some jobs need to be lost. I'd start with whoever came up with that.

I've searched and I can't find anything. It's possibly the worst idea Microsoft have come up with since that ridiculous paperclip. It's a mess.
I'm going back to 6.1 until one of the rom wizards finds a fix for it. Unless this thread comes up with one.

I second the OP question regarding the return to the simple grid system. A list is good, but not as good

DUDE you have made 2 threads about this, and people have told you how to get the dock in both, IT IS LAUNCHER PRO FFS if you cant figure this out from reading you should not be doing anything with your phone.

Android 2.3 complete look with Cyanogenmod 7

Many of you unaware that the look of Cyanogenmod 7 doesn't represent the look of Android 2.3, with only the top bar looking like it did in 2.3 the rest is ADWLauncher, So with ADWlauncher ex you can customize the look more, And what i'm after is the remaining 2 things i need.

As you can see the dock isn't really the same as it is in 2.3 so anyone out there with the right file?
Also the drawer icon is low quality, all i need are those 2 items, please help me find them.
Did you try just taking the images directly out of a Gingerbread launcher.apk?
While I'm here, love the use of the new Chrome icon for the browser - would you mind uploading it?
EDIT: After fishing through a Gingerbread launcher.apk, it seems the dock background is actually made of multiple images, since there's no single .png for it. The app drawer icon's an easy find, though. I'll upload the apk for you.
Have you thought of using the gingerbread launcher instead of adw.?

I know what you mean dude, and i agree but also you do get a lot more in the way of customization with ADW...then again there IS a Gingerbread theme on the market for it :S why bother with this?

those look like Launcher pro icons there are tons of those white low opacity icons floating around probably why its hard to find try getting the app launcher pro icons there are a ton in there you might find the one your looking for they also have a website if you want to look through there database and just grab the icons you want if they're there!
I might be able to help you but i can barely see those icons your trying to find to actually distinguish between them..Like the guy above there are many that look the same so hard with a small pic to match them like that!

Give me your email, I have these installed on my phone and they are in the icons thread but they are deep in there and it would probably take a while to go through that entire thread. I think I have the name of the zip on my computer at home but I am at work and wont be off until 4 if you want to wait.
I have been looking for these as well.
Edit: Nevermind found it on Deviant Art. Give the creator props
