I saw the video posted below that was done by XDA user Mustangboy88. It features his WALLPAPER (found here) & the ICONS (Big thanks to XDA User plugged_in_now (his thread).
The one thing that makes this so appealing to me is how CLEAN & CUSTOMIZED you can make your desktop. Combined with ADW Notifier it's amazing to me.
MY HOPE:
You all are crazy talented. Please help create amazing backgrounds. I am trying to learn Photoshop. Just check out the pics/videos and I even included some files to help get the ball rolling.
Lets see how cool we can make this!

Sweet, finally did one that doesn't suck! ** 5 x 5 Layout!! **
MISC.:
This also looks VERY good when used with ADW NOTIFIER (Free in the Market).
...
THE ICONS FROM THE 2ND PIC ARE FROM SAM.SON (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11240057&postcount=1). THESE ARE NOT MY WORK, PLEASE GO CHECK HIM OUT!!
What I did for the screen settings for me at least is I set my gestures for swiping up to get my app drawer and down to pull down the notification bar.

Dude, those are awesome!!
I would love one with Twitter (Plume), Browser, Music, Market, Root Explorer, Phone, Camera on the main screen (since I lock my wallpaper). I think I am going to try the free alt to photoshop and see if I can learn how to do this.... trying to make it look like yours.
The Vibrant has a super amoled screen, so the more black the better... but what I loved were how crisp the icons were that you used, and the shadow... which REALLY helps the look.
Very jealous.... I need to learn!
UN F%#%$# BELIEVABLE !!!
Genius Genius Genius way of customizing homescreen icons. Rockin this now!!!
I tried several times to download the transparent icon but get a blank screen all the time. Tried it from my vibrant haven't tried from my computer. But I would think I shouldn't have problems from phone thoe. Anybody else having this problem? Tried with stock browser and dolphin hd, same results.
Sent from xda app on vibrant running axura 2.3.1.2
What do you mean by blank screen? You should just be able to right click save as.
And not wanting this to sound snarky or anything, but because it's transparent, the blank screen makes sense.
Something I put together real quick, needs better spacing with the icons.

This is the best looking screen setup I've seen so far! I don't have the tools or talents to do this. I wish I did! I hope someone does a blue on black setup or maybe do a request for one.
I've got an awesome idea that will compliment this...gonna talk to some ppl and see what can be done
Gave me some new ideas, lol.
Nice work, man. Great share ^^,

Lots of potential here. I'm installing photoshop and calling in sick today.
I got the transparent icon downloaded from my phone I had to go to the thread directly from a browser instead if the xda app.

Hi,
I've done this kind of WP based on ArtCore one. I've also downloaded the icon set, and using gimp, I've pasted the "high lighted" ones to represent themes that I have used for the transparent icon short cuts.
Here is the results (it's in 2 parts for my defy resolution):

I do think this is a really cool idea! Great use of ADW!
I appreciate the shout out of my icons, everyone feel free to use them all that you want and keep making requests for new icons I want to see how quick we can get to 300 icons.
Anyway, I'm sure that a lot of people are wondering how to make these awesome icon backgrounds, so I thought that I would try and make a quick tutorial in Adobe Photoshop CS5 about giving your icons a shadow to make them look more 3D and everything.
Anyway stay tuned - www.twitter.com/jordanfritzsche and I should be post a video tutorial about this in the next day or two.
^ AMAZING MAN!!!!
I just did my VERY FIRST PROJECT IN PHOTOSHOP!!!
aka, please be nice and don't slam it too harshly.
It's too busy, I need to add some texture/color, but not sure what to do... I was JUST about to google how to add shadows! Any help is appreciated man!
I use a 5x5 desktop and have the labels hidden in ADW settings. The icons are exactly where they should be to press. I also lock my screen, that is why the black is there on the left/right... I suppose I should have just used a 480x800 background and then I wouldn't have had to guess so much on where to put the icons, right?? Still learning....

Believe it or not, its pretty easy.
So I'll give some quick directions that you can play around with however you'd like. So I use CS5 but I'm pretty sure it is the same process, however I'm not sure about Photoshop Elements.
1. Ok so you may have done it differently but I imagine that each of the icons is, or was, a layer at one point. If not, re-create it in a separate piece copy and paste it how you'd like it and you are ready to go.
2. So once the icon is its only layer go to the layer panel on the right and right click on the layer.
3. Select Blending Options
4. Play around with each option to the left. You can simply select the check box and the default characteristics for that option will be applied to your image layer.
5. If you select the whole bar on the left, for example Drop Shadow, it'll highlight blue. Then you can tweek the drop shadow, the length of it, the opaque-ness of it, which direction the shadow comes from, etc.
Play around with probably just the top five options on the left (Drop Shadow - Bevel & Emboss) Those will effect the depth of the image.
If you need more help I will do what I can, just ask

Hey I'm armoredraven. I've been a G1 owner for almost a year now and have been part of the XDA scene for some time, so I've gained some experience with this. I have modified a few themes for myself before, but haven't decided to create and release my own until now.
I've started creating my first theme, |Continuum, and need some input before any release. I would appreciate it if you guys could go over the screenshots and give me some ideas or recommendations on how to fix or theme or make it better.
I'm currently using Cyanogen 4.2.9.1, but will be updating soon. I'll probably update this theme for CyanogenMod roms, but if someone wants to port it elsewhere, they can contact me later...
I could actually release a beta version, but I haven't really bug checked anything (although I haven't gotten a single force closure yet). Maybe I'll get two or three beta testers, so if you would like to do this, either post or PM me.
And please, don't steal my images without asking... Unlike a few other themes out there, I actually drew all of my files out in photoshop rather than just copying and editing preexisting ones. I'd gladly share, just ask first
What I've done so far:
Index Tab Search Widget
Some Notification Icons
New Launcher
New Analog Clock
New Notification Tab
Things I plan to add:
Index Tab Settings Widget
Music Widget
All White Notification Icons
Revised Dialer
Custom Icons
Larger Clock Widget
*Plus any recommendations*

WOW. I would say more, but my jaw is stuck on the floor. It looks absolutely amazing and from your todo list I can't see anything else that needs to be said. The only thing that I see from the screen is maybe changing the carrier name to a more visible color, but that is all. Your search widget looks stunning.
I agree, Fantastic Theme! I also agree with the carrier color but if i had them i would try to hide it too J/K LOL
AWESOME =]
*edits later when you release , if you got a beta, let me try!*

I think it's part of the theme, but your app drawer doesnt have titles for your apps... must for me sorry man... it would be fine for most apps, but there are a few that have random pics for icons, and i have to have the title to know what it is... but so far the BEST theme ive seen on here

its an option with the advanced launcher to remove the titles on the homescreen and another option to remove them in the app drawer. its up to the user whether or not it is done.

Yeah. I actually changed back now, because I was having trouble finding all my apps
Anywho... I made a couple changes:
-Fixed network provider text color
-Finished all framework-res status icons (I hand drew each in Photoshop to be all white)
-Added another outer circle to the analog clock opposite the minute hand one (solely for artistic effect)
-Shifted the "google" text in the search widget about 4 pixels to the right
That's it for today. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Theme looks very tasty. Can't wait.
beautiful theme, keep up the good work brother
If you need a beta tester that will not leak it out, I would love to test it out once you get it ready.....otherwise i will wait till it's released!!!
Awesome work!!!!
Damn that's lookin real slick. Unless someone ports to dwang (I lack the knowledge too) I may switch back to CM
When you get set to release I'll be happy to port it to Dwang's build, I have a thread of 11 ported over themes for dwang and I'd be more than happy to make this number 12. This theme looks earth shattering man very innovative! Can't wait to check it out

If you replace the normal launcher with the advanced launcher instead of including both you can use bettercut with it . If you include both then bettercut wont work with advanced launcher that's why I substitute it in all my themes... I'm an icon freak lol.
Decided to go ahead and share the icons i use for Launcher7.
please download the launcher first. (donate to the great dev )
these are an icon set of pictures ive found around the interweb.. by no means do i claim there pics as my own. simply cust made them into icons for personal use and decided to share with people on here. All icons do have a black border on them. i do not like a solid lines.. (personal taste) you are free to take these icons and add your "app name" to them, as i do not\will not.
preview of some icons..
have about ~50 icons so far.. will work on more.

Not really an issue at all. But if you can, I could use the easy money tile in 1x1 and the tapatalk/xda tile in 1x2 vertical. Not really a big deal at all man. But I appreciate the effort either way. Some other suggestions that I'm sure would help others is:
Pandora all sizes
Wordsmith and wordswith friends or even generic scrabble
Video player all sizes
Angry birds of couse
Shazam
Text/sms
Games folder
Multimedia folder
That's all I can think of right now.. those aren't for me just some suggestions that others might use

These are great. I have the entire collection of black one's but they are sketchy on a dark layout. I was gonna ask you for one with an orange second hand but then I saw where you were from...
How bout a black and gold one? Or, maybe just throw the hawkeye logo in the middle and make an Iowa clock. (Hope that cornfield you are in isn't near Ames)
If its too much or just not graphically possible, just the orange one would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't say what color second hand you wanted so I just assumed green lol if you want something different just let me know. But here is ISU (the best and what I am rocking) and the Celtics. I have a Hawkeyes one, but don't have a good color for the second hand to match at this point.

LOL!! Since you are making me a clock, I won't hold that against you. No rush as far as the second hand... when you find the right color, just let me know. I hope I didn't open pandora's box of custom clock requests for you. I got to thinking about it and as long as this doesn't involve tweaking xml files, I could probably do this or help. I know how to decompile apk's, mod drawable png's, and recompile. I haven't ever peeked insided this bad boy. If it is more technical than that, I'm out!!
Hey good timing I just got it done and it actually looks really good (please don't tell anyone I said that lol). Here it is along with a stock gold second hand one. Oh no don't worry about that at all, I really enjoy making them actually, it's pretty fun. But if you want to give it a try be my guest, I just use 7zip to open them up on my computer and replace whatever .png files I want to change (those changes are done with photoshop so you'd need to have that), then you need to delete the "META-INF" file before resigning it, and then I resign it on my phone using a free application called Signapktic (using the Platform key). If you want to know any more just let me know.

These are awesome! Thank you so much!! Yeah, I might give it a whirl. I've just recently started modding wallpapers w/ gimp, but certainly that would work for replacing a few png files. 7zip, check.

Just one more thing to add to my to do list... Damn this phone!

OK
so I took some time to make up some blue icons for my own phone to test this out....since I got ZERO bites on my first post
here's a screenshot....I think I could lighten up the text a bit but not bad for a first attempt.
Pretty sexy, too bad I ain't running CM7 any more or I'd totally be using those icons.

Agreed. Text is too dark on the blue icons. But awesome work!
Mortem I actually REALLY like your icons and I would so use them but I decided to stop using any home launcher replacement apk's because I found they REALLY slow down my phone. I don't know enough about theme development to actually mess with changing my icons altogether. But again, I really like your overall design concept!
OK
back home now and able to use PhotoShop...much better LOL
so I reworked the cons a bit and this is what I got
I went with a lighter blue....dunno why just did

I like what you've got so far man, especially those dock icons. I prefer the Orange ones to the blue though. Im excited for some Mortem Tuam icon love now
yeah....i can post it....it's not one of mine lmao....I found these icons look better against a black background, and I didn't have any of my own on my phone LOL

Once you get the sets finished, you should post them here:

Now that i like. Are you thinking of doing multiple colors of these icon packs if/when you release them?
Sent from my beloved Cappy!!
I hope this turns into something because the icons are really great when they take off I'm going to use the orange ones for the OJ theme. >:3

I Really like these. I think they would be better if the text was white or gray though.
Due to repeated requests in more emails than I can handle, I have decided to share my work in a thread of my own alongside my tumblr account.
+ FAQ - Read Me First
I make a point of it to produce high resolution work that is completely scaleable so be sure to always play with your launcher's Icon Size features for homescreen, dock, folder & appdrawer and scale the icons to suit your preference
If you aren't using either Apex or Nova, you really should be.
+ Questions or Requests: You'll have a much better chance hitting me with an email or PM, haha--I'm hardly ever on xda for long.
+ Donate Work / Why Not Google Play?
Any icontheme apks you don't find via the links in OP are donate work--about once in every 5 freebies I get the whacky idea of releasing something for $1.50
If you like my work, feel free to purchase some of the donate stuff or simply donate using the button under the avatar. For purchases send email or simply PM me here for info--that's what that feature is for after all!
Click to expand...

+ Most importantly, enjoy the freebies and be sure to give feedback!
Also, please do not post mirrors of my uploads.
ALL DOWNLOADS ARE HERE
+ Special Thanks:
my buddy @bagarwa for helping me first figure out Eclipse and translating my designs into an icontheme apk--without his help we all would've had to endure my zips much longer, haha. Check him out - GPlus | GPlay
my good pal Jeppe aka @blackbearblanc for contributing over 50 base icons for my utility iconsets. Check him out - GPlus | tumblr | GPlay
the highly talented Ryan aka @manic_nimrod for contributing over 50 more icon bases for my utility iconsets. Check him out website | GPlay | twitter
Now how about I set this off with some of my older iconsets--look around for more recent work

Very nice icons! Keep it up!
These are great!
I can see why people keep sending you requests!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk 2
Vintage beer caps by request. Play around with Apex/Nova iconsizing feature and get the look you want.
After the weekend I shall be uploading updated versions for all iconsets--quite a few icons added. If you'd like to see any icons supported now would be the time
+ If you have any requests of your own msg me (PM) or email me if you don't do that already, haha. Enjoy!
Don't see a download link for "gauges"? Great work tho!
Requests-
App drawer
Facebook Messenger
Pandora
Twitter
wow
very nice!
Another free utility iconset--comes in 4 Google colors as specified by the lil lady that requested these, and standard gray for the boys. Recommend a light homescreen setup for these but you all know what you're doing
Considering making a matching apps iconset out of this as well, and having it be my first attempt at an icontheme apk. Will see after the weekend

Gauges are paid work chum check tumblr for details.
Also I'll get right on adding your requests--I've personally just been using the launcher icons (Nova Icon for Nova drawer etc) for appdrawer as I find the standard drawer icon pretty ugly, haha. But I shall add it toute suite
Sweet! Thanks
Another request.. xda

Man cut the requests bit I can do you one better, haha--as promised I've finally gotten around to scrapping zips and will be starting to distribute iconsets in apk form instead. One click themes all by popular request
I want to thank my buddy bagarwa around the forums for his helping me find my feet using Eclipse; without his help I'd probably still be a week or so from figuring it all out, haha. Anyhow without further ado I decided my first apks should be the iconsets that netted me the most please do iconsets in apk form already plz msgs--will most definitely be converting the others in the coming days, in the meantime make do with the iconzips
+ Check OP for downloads and be sure to let me know how they work for you!
Thanks for the apk sets! They are much easier to use than zips! You're work is fresh and unique! Can't wait to see what else you come up with! Great job!

Don't worry about my requests. The apk set covered them all. The only thing I noticed with the set (using apex), if i try to edit just 1 icon, when I click the soundproof set (did it for glass cut too tho), it doesnt show anything.

Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.
Thanks for the kind words boys & girls Vintage Frames & 70's Stamps are now available in apk form as well

Yeah this was actually done on purpose; I want to keep the apk footprint of each of my apps as microscopic as possible (under 400kb each!) out of consideration for users without expandable storage, and the general consensus is pretty agreeable. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by editing just one icon, but wouldn't simply drag & dropping a single app from apptray do the trick of getting a lone themed icon on your screen?
Made a set of icons to match the utility set I made the other day then wound up throwing together a quick homescreen setup to match that, haha
Built my own set of BBB-style slidebar uccws and a picture frame clock from scratch--let me know if you'd like me to share the frameclock
Subscribed.
Really Great Work you are putting out here for us. Thanks for that and also for converting to apk too. Much easier.
That they are chum much easier on my end too, haha
