[Theme] Clear and clean theme for LauncherPro and Weather & Toggle Widget

Okay, so I got inspired to do this:
{
"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"
}
...after looking around in this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761517
I especially liked the cleaner looking themes, but wanted something even more streamlined. So I started by doing the following:
I thought that the samurai wallpaper was awesome, so I found it via Google here:
http://www.outlawdesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/samurai_me_by_patleeart.jpg
..and hit it with the sepia filter in Photoid. That darkened it up enough for me.
The dock I found on Deviant Art here:
http://kimboprice.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ydmvn
...and ran it through GIMP. The only part that remained was the app drawer icon. I made the borders on the app drawer icon bolder, erased the rest and made new text icons and the simple white upper border.
For clock I used the DigiTrans clock skin for Weather & Toggle Widget that is available for free on the Market, and modified the widget background (simple white border and clock underline with a 25% transparency), AM icon and PM icon in GIMP.
To use any of it, just put the clock skin ZIP on your SD card in the appropriate folder and select it through the widget skin wizard in your Weather & Toggle Widget settings menu; the wallpaper is a no brainer; for the dock, using LauncherPro select preferences>appearance>dock background>custom image and choose it from the gallery, then use the included blank icon for the app drawer, phone and task manager apps.
There are two docks in the ZIP, a black one for lighter wallpapers and a white one for darker wallpapers.
Mods, please feel free to close this thread or remove any of my attachments if anything is not in line or if I've left out any credits. Everything I used was found on the web or in the market for free, except Weather & Toggle Widget which folks will have to download from the market on their own.
Hope some of your guys will like this theme.

[LAYOUT] Scrolling Dock Banner/Icon (Howto)

Ok, so few people asked me how I placed a Banner like Icon in-place of my dock. I wanted to answer directly but thought why not share it with everyone else. So here a tutorial on how to do it.
First, this is how it looks like
{
"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"
}
And a demo Vid
If you think its cool, then read on.
It's fairly easy, but quite tricky. Here we go.
What you need:
Launcher Pro
Banner/Icon (Template links later)
Desktop Visualizer
1. Set your home-screen row to 7 (for a 6 row home-screen setup). (This seems to be the most efficient value for me)
2. Now add a desktop visualizer 4x1 widget
3. With desktop visualizer, select your desired banner/template as your image and set the action as none (as seen on the video below)
4. Place the new widget on the bottom most part of your home-screen.
5. Now back to LPP preferences, set your home-screen row back to 6.
6. Might take long to load but there you have it, a scrolling banner on your dock.
Notes:
I believe you can use any number of homescreen rows from 4 up to 9 but I havent tested it yet and I only have a template for a 6 row homescreen.
In the video, I used a 5 column x 6 row setup opposed to the 4 x 6 setup on the tutorial to lessen the changes from stock layout.
forgot to mention, for best results, use transparent dock ang dock-shortcut icons.
Banner templates:
4x1 (right click and "save as")
5x1 (right click and "save as")
The Grey part is what the dock covers, blank part should always stay transparent. Just paste your banner over the gray part and make sure that nothing overlaps then delete the grey part entirely.

Cant seem to make youtube link to work, just click here and here to watch the vids

Thanks for the tut. You gave me an Idea on a cool homescreen. Mind sharing the text icons used on the vid?

Here is your video:

Honeycomb Drawer Icon 3 Parts

I just wanted to share this three part Honeycomb style icon(s). I use it with ADW Launcher, but you may be able to use it w/ Launcher Pro (I don't know if it lets you use 3 icons all linking to the app drawer like ADW does).
this is the new look. I made an icon for the dialer; I had tried a few but a lot of them were too tall to fit well with a lot of the cool dock backgrounds that were added to the Honeycomb ADW theme (without being resized really small), so I made a dialer icon to match the height of the apps+ button.
here you go:
this is the (new) look for the dock will be achieved:
{
"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"
}
matching dialer icon:
for the remaining icon in between, i just used a blank (completely transparent) .png file so it wouldn't have the little "+" plus sign in between
I linked this icon to the dialer as well, so if you press anywhere on the left side of the dock it goes to the dialer and anywhere on the right it goes to the app drawer. this worked out nicely. i actually like this interface better than stock and i changed it for aesthetic purposes only.
this is the old/alternate version without the dialer if you like the centered look
(they are white w/ a transparent background so they don't show up well on this page, but they are there)
Pt 1
Pt 2
Pt 3
P.S.
here are 2 other misc icons i made to go w/ the Honeycomb theme

Well done. Thank you.

Thanks mate!!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

updated
added matching dialer icon + instructions

Can you also link that dock if possible? Thanks!

it is one of the included dock backgrounds in the free honeycomb adw theme in the market. i can try to post it tommorrow if you just want the image.

Thanks for the tip, I was able to extract it from the apk !

great. i didn't want to post them, since i don't want to share somebody else's property w/o permission. this is my first thread and I am kinda sketch about that kinda thing.

cheers! i was looking for a good app drawer icon..

your welcome i plan to add some more stuff when i get the time

I've been very busy with my android desktop and was a big rush to get my supplies LauncherAdvanced, unique thread of my development HERE
I would like to clarify that I have compiled this launcher for a long time, then the android trendy JB was 4.2, I had to make some optimizations so that it can get better at 4.4 and 5.1 (maybe in the future 6.0).
The purpose of the launcher is the same as I always have in mind, do not like and have never liked large packages and applications do not like too much RAM consumption, thinking that I developed this launcher, it is a typical size coming from ADW sources @AnderWeb (Thanks).
Their characteristics are very clear, see below:
Desktop settings
Set icons and wallpaper
Set style dock bar
You can set colors and transparencies in the apps grid
you can create folders and name them
Speed to open the apps grid
Animations, themes etc ..
You can also back up and restore it if you want to save your settings
Known bugs:
At the moment he does not have a transparent status bar (I will fix this)
By using wallpaper is a blur in the dock bar (only the launcher wallpapers, you can use other without problems)
Some other?
It is fully in the development of state and I will appreciate if you understand java and can help me with corrections, so I'll leave my sources available on GitHub
DOWNLOAD HERE
To install:
Download the latest launcher
Pass to your SD
Install usually how to install an apk SD
enjoy

Hi dev I'm using this launcher from past 3 days, really I'm loving it.
I got every thing which I want like ,
It's light weight.
Smooth
I can set it to full screen by hiding status bar.
Specially the short cut icon sick at the bottom ( I really loved the concept).
But after using it I felt like I'm using kitkat launcher in my One plus one (5.1 lollipop).
And their is no smooth scrolling.
Their is a problem with animation.
I'm not getting the widgets properly like my cm weather widget unable to display weather only time and date .
Each icon using more space then the actual size.
I'm unable to increase the size of icons .
Old type widget and shortcut section menu etc .
But I'm still using it coz I'm loving it.
Hope you ll update it soon with latest standards.
Thank you dev

Looking for a MIUI / Xiaomi theme like

Hello,
Im a new Z3c owner.
As far as I understood, I should keep the offical xperia rom (updated to android 6) if I want to keep the full potential of this phone.
Especialy regarding Camera quality, right ?
So, what would you recommand in order to get a Xiomi / Miui / iOS like theme ?
In order to :
- remove the app folder button
- have better app icons than xperia ones..
Thanks for you help

Hopefully this may help you. I use nova launcher for the exact same look you want to achieve. And the most consistent icon pack that works for me is pop ui. Once you select the icon pack in nova launcher, the icons will replace the old ones, however you can then change whichever icons that don't suit your look with other alternatives in the pack. Both are paid apps but serve their purpose really well. You can get the free version of nova launcher but you will sacrifice certain things like changing icon size and icon notification badges. You will need the teslaunread app as well to get the badge notifications. If you want an exact clone of ios you can download png icon packs from deviant art and replicate the status bar with an xposed module called Flat Style Bar Indicators. But all that will probably turn you into an obsessive ios freak lol, plus it requires too much time and effort. I love the freedom of android but I love the look of ios, so I manage to get the best of both on my z3 compact.

*edit* as far as the app drawer goes, you have 3 options... 1) You could just remove it and forget about all the apps you don't use. 2) you could just change the app drawer icon to a folder icon and just think of it as a folder which houses all of your unnecessary apps. 3) nova launcher 5 Beta allows you to access the app drawer by swiping up from the dock.
Hope this helps.
