A snapshot of the new icons

New Icons for Androkkid "TransparentFrames" finally!
These new Icons should work better for those of you who have like me found the standard winmo icon ugly and pixelated.
I have always thought that some of the IPhone's attraction was the beautiful icons that were uniform in size and shape. So I made my own for Ifonz (based on other people's graphic work). When Androkkid came along I loved the scenic wallpapers you could use but I thought the beautiful scenery of the wallpapers became too cluttered with the IPhone style icons and that the square icons ruined the effect of the beautiful wallpapers.
So these new icons are designed to preserve a uniform style and at the same time be better integrated into the "scenery" by using transparency.
I hope that some of you will have a look at these and tell me what you think
PS If you resize these, they will not work. If they are resized by Androkkid they are fine.
If you want to use these and need other icons, ask me on the themes Thread and I'll see what I can do.

New!!! Golden Frames
For those who really want to pimp up our phones
here are some Screenshots
The theme used is Teacher's Gold which you find below with the icons
More Screenshots
and even more
the icon files
Finally the iconfiles!
Please consider to try them out, I don't think they are as beautifull as some of the Iphone like icons, like the ones made by bluemetalaxe or Stereo's Leopard, but when you see them glide across the scenery in Androkkid they feel much more integrated into the scenery than the Iphone like icons which leave kind of a square hole in the scenery, however beautiful they are. So what do you have to loose, give 'em a try:
Edit have added new iconfile today 15/12-09 they are now checked out for "white and black" holes and should be okay

Transparent Icons
These look nice, thank you very much! Any chance you could add a couple more icons to the package (96x96): SMS, Voicemail, Calender, Missed Calls? Or, just tell me how to make these myself and I'll take a stab at it, there's a few web icons I'd like, too. Thanks again!

I'll gladly tell you how I made these, but first here are some suggestions for icons, but what do you mean by an icon for "missed calls" In Androkkid you get a small red circle with the number of missed calls you have. If you think about something else give me a hint
Hope you like these

What is problematic with winmo is that it doesn't support "white". In an icon with transparancy, pure white will show up like a black hole in the icon so you have to substitute white with another light white-ish color.
Another problem is this: When a graphic program like gimp or photoshop compresses a png to a smaller size. it conserves the smoothness of the png by making semitransparant pixels, these are not supported either and show up like white holes in the icons.
If you just index the png it will avoid the semitransparent pixels, but it will scale down with a very crude and pixelated result.
My way around this is to put the compressed png in a frame filled with a very nondescript greyish color. Then I have to eraze all the grey color and decide pixel by pixel which pixels have enough color to let them remain.
This is why it takes so much time to resize these icons. I have to do this every time. In the icon files I have uploaded you can find both an empty and a filled frame.
If you want to try this for yourself you are very welcome to do so but remember that you have test each icon on your phone to find "holes" before you publish them.
PS I haven't tested the last batch of seven icons yet but I will test them before I publish a zip file with extra icons.
PS Gimp is a fantastic graphic program which you can download for free here
Best of luck
Missed Calls
And here's a missed calls icon in three colors
Icons
These all look great, and wow that was fast! By "missed calls" I should have put "Call History" or "Call Log", but it looks like you got the gist with the icons because they're perfect! I'm probably pushing my luck, but maybe a "Tasks" icon? It's the only request I can think of off the top of my head. I'll check out the app you suggested tonight and see if I can create a few "Web" graphics, thanks again!

There already is a tasks icon in the icon pack(see thumbnail below), but did you have something else in mind?

reg66, can you change this thread's title to match the androkkid spelling so this thread shows in searches
I have some specific icon requests if possible. I'll also be attempting my own icon pack in the near future.. I'm waiting for this quarter's classes to end first.
SMS like above in the bubble, but instead of a blue bubble, a green one like the MMS.
A voice mail icon
Internet Connection Sharing
Clean Ram
MySoftReset
A lock
3 Icons for the Sound Profile widget
Sims 3 (but I can live without this one) ;x
Thank you so much.. These Icons look great, thats why I hope you can make these so my phone can look even better.
New Theme
Am I the first to produce a new theme for Androkkid?
Let me introduce Obsidian, for those who might prefer a more businesslike theme.
It has been developed on a QVGA screen so I have no idea whether it will work on other screen resolutions.
Just unzip and place the Obsidian folder in the Androkkid Themes folder. It will then be available to select under Settings
The Title buttons (more than shown) can be found in the Obsidian theme folder along with a blank if you wish to make different titles (I can make others if you aren't able to do that). I set the size of the Title buttons to 128 x 32 in Androkkid settings and they have to be positioned, as for any other icon. They can also be used as shortcuts as per normal icons. For example, in my setup, I have the Contact button pointing to my address book.
The 'Lock' Icon on the Home page is not part of the theme but has been designed to match. I have included that icon in the Obsidian theme folder, but none of the other icons.
8 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated for compatibility with Androkkid 1.2.0.0 (inclusion of TopBarIcons,png) and correction of transparency problem with Edit & Delete buttons
15 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated with modified graphics

I'll see how quick I can get around to make these
There already is a cleanram icon (the one with the broom) but if you don't like it I can make another. For SoftReset I use the icon from the icon pack called "exit" (I use "Slide2shutdown" myself) There also is a bluelock (ScreenLock) in the iconpack I have that one in green and red too
I don't know which sound widget you mean, please give me a link or something.
Here are some examples, tell me what you think..

With a Globe from Everaldo Coelho's magnificent Crystal themed icons
Edit. Made a new versions of this icon where the arrows stand out more
I know this probably makes me something of an outlier, but I've discovered playing around with different apps and icon themes on my NST, I actually really like the look of the default B&N app icons - they've got a really nice minimalism to them that even my favorite minimalist icon themes don't. So I decided I'd add to the set, and see if anyone else had ideas/requests for what to add. Current plans:
-redraws of the existing ones (as most are buried in the apps and can't be used elsewhere - also, they look awful on upscale)
-mail icon
-internet icon
-chat-bubble icon
-Android market icon
-filesystem icon
-terminal icon

I agree that the nook icons are better but I lack the skills to make similar ones for my apps.
Well, this is what I have on my launcher 7 (which I find is perfect for an e-ink screen with some tweaking).
Everything else you pretty much covered.
-Google news feed
-PDF reader
-A tools folder filled with useful tools
Great idea by the way. Thanks!

I'll see what I can do! Swapping to Launcher 7 on my NST is actually what inspired it - I wanted to use the default Library app icon but oh god, it looks so awful on a launcher tile because of how small the original image is.
I'm definitely interested in this!
I use perfectviewer and mango if you want any more ideas for icons.
I would say any general manga/comic looking icon would work.

Been working on this theme for a long time now and its been a struggle at times especially when its hard to find the time, most of what I have learnt has come from XDA tutorials and the many people who contribute to them so I would like to thank anyone who contributed their bit of knowledge in the releveant threads.
individuals id like to thanks especially: Daniel Czarnomorski (dcstudio) for template and help, pooley, kovdev & sTl2yk3l2, all of which answered my question and tried to help me with problems I encountered.
I have tried to make the theme as polished and release ready as possible which is why it has taken me so long, I understand they may be problems and people may have suggestions about what can make it better or may not like current icons or theme elements to which I would like to hear your feedback so that I can work to make it better.
Wallpapers can only be applied using launchers with their own compatible wallpaper pickers, I have not yet managed to work out how to create a wallpaper picker within the app, it was giving me Force close errors but hopefully I can implement this in the next update.

haha true yes
FYI, havent tried it yet but looks super cool
will try tomorrow and keep up the good work
quality theme the moment you install it everything matches well wallpaper and icons and the dock icons are really clean
sent my list of icons to be themed not so bad for now as i put them in one folder
thanks going to make new icons soon hopefully, first I want to try to implement the1dynasty's template into the theme, activity pages and wallpaper picker etc. then ill start rolling out weekly icon updates im aiming for about 50 icons a week. icon updates arent so bad on 3 themes as they are easy to re hue but implementing the activity into all 3 will be a bit more long winded, hopefully I can get it to work.
just to keep everyone updated I was planning weekly updates however I have a job interview this week and have to complete some tasks before hand, first icon expansion is scheduled for around the 14th July. ensure you send me lists of un-themed icons so I can work on these before this date.
updates not going as planned, main reason for this is due to the fact that after a short holiday ive been preparing for a job interview and now have got a job in graphic design which is ideal and should mean that I can improve my own skills and work rate . im going to give it a week to settle into my new job before I begin work on new icons for these themes, so far very happy with how successful the theme has done considering that the marketing of it came to a quick halt after release.
help me out by sending me:
- apps you want icons themed for
- ideas of graphical elements you dont like or think can be improved
- dock icons you would like, sticking with the glyph style I have implemented the dock icons are easy to make and can be anything from basic shapes to representation of apps so let me know if theres anything you would like.
with regards to the wallpaper picker Ive decided I am done with racking my brains trying to work out how to iron out errors I get with the app every time I try to implement a picker and I simply do not have the time for it anymore, my interests are graphical and web design based and it is not enjoyable for me lol. as a work around I am beginning work on my own website where I will publish all my themes and future wallpapers in full quality for download. this has many advantages to myself and users by:
- generating traffic for my own designs and work
- creating a large library of wallpapers in one area
- decreases overall app size as wallpapers are fairly large in size
- improves quality of wallpaper as I don't have to compress them
- users can download images to their device, allowing them to be used as lock screen wallpapers as well as home screen.
thanks for the support of everyone this theme has helped me have the confidence to pursue a career in design and purchases of the premium greyice version will help to pay for the costs of my website.
Amazing
Thanks grey :good: :good:
greyICE version of this theme is now free, I do not support these themes anymore as I really wasnt very good when it came to the code side of making an app anyway, my true passion was with the graphical elements and I lack the time and patience to carry on with themes.
hope everyone enjoys these themes while they last I dont think they will work as intended forever as package names change and launchers update. I am willing to share icons/wallpapers and even complete theme files I used if anyone would like them, just let me know how best to share them.
Thanks so much
Kite UI Project (Theme elements for Android devices)
In front of you is reincarnation of popular user interface Kite UI.
Instruction on complete applying of elements:
1. You need launcher which replacement of standard icons is possible in. The theme was tested on Lightning Launcher,
which has necessary features: 1) possessing a large quantity of settings, it remains to be the fastest of offered on the Market. 2) Movement on the screen
can be carried out to the left, to the right, down, up and on a diagonal, in difference from other launchers, who offer transition between home
screens only by moving to the left and right.
After all that there is a question, what is Kite UI? How the movement on the screen should be carried out? If you saw a topic on xda-developers, you already
are familiar with structure. If not, I will tell you, it should be carried out comprehensively. Probably, with a little differences, than
in Lightning Launcher, but nevertheless, very approximately. Still App Drawer is built standardly in it.
Certainly, to achieve the necessary result in settings, you should spend a little time in settings of a launcher. From the most important points of
settings, I will note, in the line :Number of columns" it is necessary to put value 3, and in "Line height" - 75, if your screen has not got more or less than 3.5 inches.
Otherwise you should experiment with settings.
!!!. You can use any launcher for a theme, I only give advice. If you're not familiar with any of the launchers you can
just install a BetterCut app from the market.
2. You need to download the UltimateCustomClockWidget (UCCW) app to apply and issue the clock widget on the main homescreen.
3. Super Status Bar. Even with the trial version of this program, you will approach status bar of the phone to the status of a Kite bar as much as possible.
And everything is at a minimum of spent time. You don't need additional application of themes, which will be unlocked in the paid version. Standard design
is already approached. !!!. Similar programs, such as, for example, Status Bar +-Custom Status Bar are possible. But design of an appropriate look
I can not guarantee.
4. Music player. Not compulsory procedure. I looked long for it. I use TTPod with an orange standard skin, thanks to its fast speed of the circulation, the built-in 12-band equalizer, strengthening of basses, shake function imitation, and madly beautiful design.
5. Widget Locker. I included the backup settings of the application. Well, and Kite Locker certainly. So, I think it would not be a hard work to adjust it for long since everything here is provided by me.
It is necessary only to put icons and widgets there. As a clock for lockscreen for example I use UCCW too.
THE ARCHIVE CONSISTS OF:
1. 40 Kite UI style homescreen and 49 app menu icons.
2. A Kite UI clock widget, with author's backup settings along with 50 day and 49 night weather skins.
3. Nearly 80 HD, FHD and UHD landscape and 16 abstraction wallpapers. The Kite design looks perfect with every of it.
4. Exclusive fonts to set up date, etc... including original Kite UI font ("kite" folder).
5. The well-known Kite UI LockScreen on the basis of Widget Locker. Simplicity and grace.
6. The well-known Kite UI wallpaper with the clouds, recreated most approximately to the original taking into account more than 80 layers of a photoshop. The original eclusive KITE UI wallpaper is also included.
7. Many variants of demo icons and weather skins, so you could see all the progress been maken.

Not gonna happen, stop bumping your own thread.
Thx a lot to everyone testing my work, still it's not ideal, but I did my best at my spare time. Of course I'd be very glad if someone could make a coding part, so it could be selling as a launcher on the market. If this superhero exists, feel free to p.m me. E-mail is entered at first page.

Tapet is incredible. It automatically generates random wallpapers based on "patterns" (the overall style for each wallpaper). It retains the instructions to re-generate each wallpaper, and makes it easy to save and share these images. As far as I can tell the developer has no issue with sharing these. These aren't the best, they're simply my favorite among the 250 most recently generated. I also have it set to show some patterns much more than others, and I've turned off quite a few patterns. It can do SO much more than this. Feel free to dump your own!
Enjoy!
EDIT: I hope this is the most appropriate forum. These are made specifically for the Nexus 6P.
Very nice. Thank you
thns
nice work
those are killer wallpapers brahh!! thanks for sharing
Tapet is one of the best apps I have found in a long time. Coolest thing is that you don't have to download anything as its all "generated" but the beauty is the use of shapes and shadows to make it look good. I ended up buying the paid version just to show my appreciation to the developer for his idea and work. You can setup pre-defined interval to change wallpapers automatically or by placing a tiny (1x1) widget on your home screen to trigger randomize wallpaper generation.
Any ways, here are some of my favorites. Hope you like them.
