I'm looking for a way to put text on one of my pages, im using ADW launcher and iv'e been looking for a simple way without the use of visualizer and an image that i can resize. I dont want it to be a part of the wallpaper either as im changing it like twice a week.
Does anyone know any good way to just add a simple line of text to you pages?
Tahnk you in advance!
With Minimalistic Text widget you can add static text, i think. It's free on the market.
hope that helps
Works like a charm! Thank you!
Another good, simple app:

All functioning and even the screen orientation icons make sense now.
Thanks to icons mostly from here:

Tenius.zip contains an alternative Today plug-in button...drop "today.bmp" into Main Memory\Program Files\VITO\Winterface\skins\bin
Realize weather icons from oscarbum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3032867&postcount=24
[UPDATE] Added neon weather icons to neon.zip file (adapted from original Vito icons)
[UPDATE] See post #59 for extra Neon icons in a dll file. They can be used by calling them in a .lnk file as described elsewhere in this forum.
Briefly, you make a txt file and the syntax would be, for instance:
81#"\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe"?\Storage Card\My_icons.dll,-20
where the number 20 is the icon index in the dll file. I've also attached in post #59 a png file showing the icon index number for all of the icons in the dll file.
Best of luck
Great, thank you!
That's funny. I've been working on a new theme for WAD2 using this set and it didn't occur to me to use it for WF. Nice work.
Amazing Work! Thanks
For me, THE best skin for winterface... great job, and thanks for sharing
Posted the various links for WF themes here on xda-devs...
...at blog.iwindowsmobile.com
and the moderators keep removing them.
I wonder why :-/
i think they still see skinning as hacking. but then what do they expect if they don't offer alternative themes themselves? even though the software is pretty good, many people won't buy it because of the oppressive look of the UI.
people want a constant theme running through their whole device and application UI, or they want to be able to tweak things to their satisfaction
*more people will buy the software*
hope someone from Vito reads this.
i love it man vito/iwindows should allow open skins for this it makes it more attractive...and i was think (maybe its too ipone-ish but) they should lock the bottom bar and allow us to put our most used apps/settings/contax etc there just a thought but im addin this new skin to the collection
Great! Thanx friend!
thanks for all. I like it. I love the VITO Interface but now it has a very very good look and beautiful colors...
Thanks a lot...
Just for a laugh...
...some hand-drawn icons added to first post
nice, nice... thanxx man
Nice, thanks dave
If you ever decide to do another Winterface theme...
Here's some things I've found that might save you some time....
1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.
Another theme
Here's one I threw together this morning. (Are we nearing the point of simply having a Winterface theme thread?)
I don't know if I've posted the weather icons before but it goes well with the realize theme.

Although I think it does use this icon if your default calendar app is not the standard Windows one. One way of working is to have your appointments shown on S2U2 as you unlock and use a better calendar such as Thumbcal as standard
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
That's another ton of work I have to do :-(
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
Mine neither, but I figured that's because I dono't use the standard calculator
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
Yes, the plain one opens Bluetooth settings
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
I thought the very same thing this morning. My upcoming theme will change this icon as well
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Should be able to post another here in a day or so, depending on whether I take on the buttons and the weather icons as well!
Good work and thanks for the tips
well i notice the slide to unlock image (lock) is messed up. also, there are pink dots on bottom left and right of bluetooth icon.
other than that they're amazing. thanks for the icons.
we are also waiting your last theme with realize icons,oscarbum.
thank you both.
is anyone else having this issue.. it's also noticed when i move icons around and when one icon goes over another, it has parts of the icon that is transparent and that's how the lock looks when it appears. this is vga supported, right? i have touch pro.
Yes, I think that's the messed up lock icon that was mentioned
on another note though, I can' get the contact pictures to work if I change any of the contact icons as you said oscarbum.
I've tried changing the two in black.bmp and the one in icons.bmp in every combination and it doesn't work.
The pictures need to work in three places in the theme:
When you view you contacts ready to dial
When you select the contact to bring up details
When you add a contact.
There is no combination of changed icons (all identical) that works.
So I am trying to find a nice, complete set of text icons for my phone.
I have checked out Birdmans, Kovicons, and the one from Ultralinx.
I like them all, but the first two have things missing from them that I need but arent in any of there sets.
The Ultralinx one is the one I really like, but I don't want to make a paypal account just to purchase this (I don't use Paypal.)
So I am wondering if anyone else out there knew of any very nice, sharp, clean looking icon packs out there that I could check out?
Thank you,
Whiteice

Good looking text icons with lots of different colors.
First let me say I take no credit for any of the work in this link, I can only take credit for starting the thread and sharing my find with XDA community.
(Some of you may have already come across it)
These docks should come in handy for everyone that has different themes or wants to match up a wallpaper, whether you have stock roms, custom roms or for those of you that have flashed new themes..
Enjoy......I hope you find them useful.

Instructions..
1. Download Barcode Reader from the market.
2. Use the Barcode reader to read the images next to the icon or dock you choose.
3. Press on the image
4.Long press on the image, you should now get the option to save to your SD Card.
5.Use Launcher pro to set your icons or dock.
Here is a few Screenshots of some of the docks (not icons)
Last one is the one I kept...
Feel free to post new Icons and Docks in this thread...
Bump as requested
That's great thanks.
I was wondering where you got the text-based icons for your dock from. They are just what I have been looking for.
I think I have stumbled across them:

Or create them yourself in photoshop; start with a 84*84px canvas, transparent background and write the text in the desired color using the text tool. Save as .png.
the 84*84 you are talking about is that standard for Desire HD? some of the text icons i downloaded are quite tiny for me to read so i might try and create my own. normal icons launcher pro comes with are fine
Glad your finding the link useful...
Dude - why did you get rid of the pics of your phone layout?
Thank you so much!
Hey guys, I just bought my Nook Color yesterday and rooted it as well. The thing I am trying to figure out is is there a tutorial on how to get it like a tablet and put icons on the home screen and use a launcher just like any tablet running on Android? Please keep in mind I am looking for compete instructions on how to change the launcher and add icons and such because I rooted it by following the exact steps. Currently I have Soft Keys as the default launcher with the book one running under that. Thanks very much in advance!
I'm in the same boat. I read the threads and learned a lot, tried a few things, and asked a few questions. The problem with simply following a list of instructions is that you wouldn't really be setting it up the way you want, and that is one of the beauties of rooting.

Well I put Zeam Launcher on it and I am pretty happy with the way it looks so far, just gotta figure out how to add icons and widgets to the pages... Also whats the ideal size for wallpaper for the nook color?
I suggest looking at the screenshots. Finding looks you like. Than going to the android market and doing. No better education that doing.

Use" wallpaper set and save" (free from market) to change wallpaper, and as for placing icons on "desktop" pages, go to apps drawer and press and hold on an app. The drawer will disapear andyou will be able to place it...
Sorry for rushed answer...
Thanks for the replies guys I got my book perfect. The only thing is how can I remove a black bar at the top and bottom of the screen? Its behind the page indicator on the top and behind the dock on the bottom.
i made a complete guide on my website how to root with some different tweaks you can do:

Thanks for the reply but there is nothing on your site saying how to remove the bars and/or to stretch the wallpaper to cover the whole screen as well as behind the dock.
Anyone have an idea of his to strech the wallpaper as was stated in my previous post? I really hate the black bars on top and behind the dock.

You have to get the right size wallpaper. I have lost the link to the site, but you can choose what size wallpaper to dnld & If I remember correctly, if you go to the site with the NC, it will offer the right size files by default.
Cheers,

P.S. The NC screen is 1024 x 600
Hi guys,
I've been searching the web for a long and I didn't find what I was looking for. I search an icon very minimalistic which represent a bubble from a comic. I would like the psd of it and I want a free icon. I'm a very newbie on Photoshop so I didn't achieve to design an icon I like.
Here are exemple of icon I want (but not free)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912545 (dashboard 2)
http://dribbble.com/shots/455868-50-Free-Delicious-Berries-Icons
http://dribbble.com/shots/119218-Picons-me-Launched- (the first one)
So if you can find icon like that which is free (don't want to spend 30$ for just one icon) it would be great.
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer but I didn't find what I was looking for. I want a very simple and minimalisitc icon and Pfaff has only complicated and colorful one.
I also checked the .psd of his base set but the icon for sms doesn't match with icon I want.
Anyone else ?
Thanks
