[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.

Easiest way to customize Pure Music Widget

This is a small tutorial to show people the easiest way to customize (very basically) the "Pure music widget" background. It requires a basic knowledge (very basic) of Photoshop.
You need:
Pure music widget.
ADW launcher or Launcher Pro (I did it with ADW).
Widget Locker.
Multipicture live wallpaper

"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"
}
For Lock screen:
Download the LS-Master resource.psd file from http://www.mediafire.com/?fyc4vcoug16cqeo and the Wallies.psd from http://www.mediafire.com/?7sysr37o7bs1gbc
Both are PSD files, that means you can modify the Music Widget BG, both files have an example of one Album art, keep the example, it work like a guide for your custom backgrounds. af course you can change the wallpaper too.
Edit the files until you meet your expectations and save it as PNG or JPG, put those files in your SD Card.
For the lock screen:
In the Widget locker preferences chose a 12x12 grid and hide the Status bar, choose your image for the background. add a 2x2 widget Pure Music Widget and match it with the background
For the desktop:
On the ADW settings (or Launcher pro) choose the 10x10 grid and hide the dock (extend desktop).
Using Multipicture live wallpaper choose your background file for one of your screens and setup the other ones (you can choose a different background for each screen, this is an awesome option isn't?). Add a 4x2 Pure Music Widget and match it with your brand new background.
That was easy, Right?
Sorry for my english.

How do you hide the controls?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, i forgot to tell you guys to edit the "Transparent Skin" in the Pure Music Widget Skins, using any image editor just make an empty file and rename it as all files in the transparent skin folder.
The skin folder is in your SD card ".org.koxx.Pure_music"

[Guide] How to create a true live icon with current date that launches stock Calendar

It's unfathomable that Android itself doesn't yet have live icons for the Calendar and Clock, like TouchWiz does, or another operating system I can't recall the name of.
Sure, Today Calendar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.underwood.calendar_beta) is a great app with a live icon but what if you want to launch the stock Google Calendar?

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's my simple How To:
1. LAUNCHER
- This requires a Launcher that allows overlapping widgets/icons. I recommend Nova Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
- In Nova turn on Settings > Desktop > Widget overlap, and Overlap when placing
2. INSTALL
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.underwood.calendar_beta
And
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext
3. PLACEMENT
- Remove Google Calendar icon from your homescreen
- Place Today Calendar icon in its place
- Edit the icon to rename it "Calendar"
- Add a 1x1 Minimalistic Text widget to the homescreen and place it over the Calendar icon
4. SHORTCUT
- In Minimalistic Text setup, first turn off Show background
- Delete the text rows from the widget so Layout tab is empty
- In Tap Behavior check Start another activity
- In Select an activity, choose the Google Calendar app
- Hit the Save icon above it and return home
Hey presto, a live date icon that launches Google Calendar. When you hit the Calendar icon you're actually launching the transparent widget activity.
If this helped you feel free to click Thanks. Thanks!

Also, the icon pack GLIM has a live icon for the calendar in the app drawer as well, on the free version as well.

Plenty of icon packs have this but if you've set Nova to use the stock Android icons, changing the Calendar icon to one from such an icon pack will not result in it updating every day. My solution above is the only way if you use stock icons.
Cheers!
