[LauncherPro Docks] Blue, Green, Red, come check em out!

Hey guys! I've been around here for a while lurkin on my older phones, but since I got the epic I'm finally coming around to posting. Anyhow, I was bored tonight and no overtime came up this weekend so I made up some docks real quick, since mine was getting stale after a month or two. Hope you guys like em. I'm not a photoshop perfectionist so a few flaws may be present. When they are on the phone with their 75ish % Transparency most flaws disappear anyways. When I briefly checked them all, at a glance they all looked fine. So let me know if anythings messed up in any of them, I just run the blue now myself.
Kinda loosely based on the dreamlyfe docks with the side app drawer, but much wider so the tallmin icons fit in them nicely. In fact they were designed with those icons in mind. Let me know what ya think. Feel free to rape them to peices and create your own and re-post em or whatever
Edit: All have 74% Opaque (26% Transparency) for a nice look, and resized to work well with Portrait/Landscape. Tallmin icons will now be readable in either orientation. Wow didnt realize how ugly it was before fixed.
Can u do one with orange plz? Good job by the way!
Sent from my Epic 4G
sure can
Sure I can, later this evening after work. I mostly just change colors with color range select and color change tool so it makes it pretty easy. If anyone else wants a specific color let me know and ill make it. Just figured these 3 were most popular.
On a side note, if anyone wants the non transparent version of any of them just PM me and ill send it your way. Cheers!
Thank u so much!

I guess I am a complete noob lol, how would I install the dock image? I have no clue and I didnt see any option to do it in the LauncherPro settings. Maybe I missed it or I need to put the file somewhere specific?
Preferences => appearance settings => dock background (let's you choose from your photo gallery)

Thanks.... I looked through the menus twice and totally missed that one lol.
Uhhh I have launcher pro...where are the links so I can add this to my Epic 4G...and how do I install it once I have them?...great I Idea by the way...and the black dock with white edges for a black and white themed ROM like Baked Snack would be cool...?

I only know how to DL onto a PC and then xfer to the SD Card. Right click on the image(dock that you want to DL) from the OP and select save as... , then copy the image/file to your phone/SD Card. Now while at the homescreen in LP hit the menu key>preference>appearance settings>dock background>custom>and then you should be able to scroll to the image in the gallery that it brings up

Haha definitely a feature. I'm going to give your framework a try when I get home. Got to research android though as this is my first android phone switching from the iPhone. I haven't used XDA since back in the days of WM 6.5.
Never mind the carrier is there... I have XML coding. Experience but does anybody know how to edit XML binary iN android..

Tough call, that could potentially be really nice... but could also easily be garish and cheap looking if the wrong colors are used. Maybe if the two colors are very similar (like navy and darkish blue) or borrow from the same colors already on the screen (like the cyan blue of the icons and a transparent dark grey from the notification bar)? I think that could potentially be good, but it's hard to picture in my head.
Thanks for snazzier look!

That would be awesome. I should be able to use the icons with adw right? This is my first Android device, after switching from the iPhone. It feels great to be able to customize a device again. I used to be on XDA back in the days of WM 6.5.

Ah, I understand. IMHO you can't really go wrong. I'd probably pick solid black because I think it makes the scroll smoother, but the transparent looks nicer. The stock isn't my favorite but it doesn't really bother me too much either.
Your LP icons look nice with your tweaks. May I also have those files?

Using a file explorer that lets you mount and unmount.. copy the framework-res.apk into system/app and replace and remount. Then reboot
Does this work on v20p?

I haven't tried. But if the stock framework hasn't changed much from froyo to gb then it might.
Backup and give it a whirl

[Docks] Sense style for LPP, Adw Ex & Go Ex - Multiple colors

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Hello. I was bored today working on a Graphic Design project and decided to take a small break to make some Sense style docks. They should work in Launcher Pro, Adw Ex and Go Launcher Ex.
The zip is not flash-able. Just extract the png files to your sdcard somewhere and select the images like you would normally for custom docks in your launcher.
There is also a blank png file included in the zip, to make the buttons transparent over the dock if needed.
I have tested most of these in Go Launcher Ex, but some may be a little rough around the edges because I haven't tested them all.
If I get more time I will try and make some more.
Thank you..... I been looking everywhere and couldn't find anything like this is it possible to make transparent one? Or a wood one? Or a pearl white one?

Thanks again man these are awesome Haha now to just get the clock to match lol yo that ocean and fire one are just wow man nice
Guess I need to take that design class too these are cool
Just thought of another one man dockbar with outerspace inside
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
No problem. I may eventually add some more later. If I can figure out how to theme the clock I'll add some clock skins. I am not too good with the programming end if things though and it may take some code.

Fancy widget or Beautiful widgets. I think there are templates for the skins on those.

Have you tried setting the icon you want to the black wallpaper that comes in the dock package? Or after setting the transparent icon did you restart your launcher?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
Yea I put a transparent gif icon file in the first zip file I believe. Let me know if that isn't working. Set your dock shortcuts then use it as the custom icon for each so the dock shows through but the app is still there.
I'll see if I can make some more docks soon.

Lol remember the black and white one like those old school photos but yeah man set the shortcut then set the custom icon and that should work...

Heya, Thanks for these dock bars, been looking for something like this for ages!
Not sure if it's still allowed to ask, but is it possible to make them with these icons (left/right, but then proper) as well? -->
Much thanks <3
I have been away for a bit. I'll see what I can come up with.

Looking for a specific WiFi icon...

Hey everyone. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I was looking for a particular WIFI icon for my phone. I thought it came with the theme i put on my phone but it doesn't. I'm running Skyraider Zeus 1.3 and this is the icon im trying to find.. http://postimage.org/image/em92mmb0j/
I saw the great listing of icons, etc a few posts above but before i search through a few hundred links i wondered if anyone knew exactly where i could find this and how i could get it on my phone.
Thanks!
Might want to tinker with UOT kitchen. There's a bunch of icons you can pick from and it's really simple.
You can pull the images from skyraider zip

I've got it. I'm using it with soab 1.0.4

I appreciate the offer, i just spent the last hour doing some extensive searching and found out about 7zip. Went in to system ui apk, found the folder with all the icons in it.. dragged it to my desktop, copied the icons you provided that i had saved on my comp. did a copy and replace. dragged the folder back in to 7zip, did a nandroid and flashed the zip. badda bing badda boom!!!! works like a champ. now that i know how to do it, i might go in and edit those png's so that the white boxes change color as the signal strength goes up or down.
im actually running the same rom as you now, flashed it the other day because i got bored with the last one. i'm using the mash up theme preview with it. love this rom!
THANKS AGAIN FOR PROVIDING THE ICONS!!
Actually, the 4 bars on the bottom do progressively turn white in relation to signal strength already.
I should say, they turn from grey to white.
I didn't notice that but i did change the color to match the bars for phone signal

can we do this with 4g and 3g signal?

Request/help on porting theme

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149482
Anyone remember this theme purestar alpha? One of my favorite themes. I was wondering if it was possible to port to the one?! I've never tried themeing but I will def try with some help unless an experienced themer wants to take it on.
Not sure if this is the right forum for this but I figured since it's about a theme id put it here. Thanks.

Nice theme! You'd probably need to recreate most of the images yourself due to low res though

You got that right. These new drawable-xxhdpi folders, almost everything has to be resized now even from a lot of the newer themes. I think they come up with all of this new stuff to keep us pulling our hair out...lol.
looks like...
For the main part it looks like the inverted sense theme. With some neon green highlights and green icons... Shouldn't honestly be that hard to be done. If I get some more free time and get tired of dealing with spider man theme for a while, I wouldn't mind whipping that up. the current lock screen no longer has the sense 3/4 ring anymore though. I'll try and get to it sooner than later if possible and will keep you posted.
Haven't looked here in awhile. Thanks for the responses. I'm looking into recreating something similar with more white around the icons fitting for a key lime pie type theme. I think status bar icons and other elements would look great in lime green similar to this theme with a hint of white outlining them and dark backrounds. But I have no experience and I'm just lookin into where I should even begin.
