[Q] Custom dock and icon dimensions?

Do I need to resize the custom dock and icon images I find on the internet since the Aria's screen res is so much smaller than say the EVO?
If I want to make my own, what are the standard dimensions I should be using for the dock and for icons?
Thanks for everybody's patience and help with me so far. This board has been incredibly helpful. Hopefully, I'll be returning the favor to other new users shortly when I get up to speed myself.

I need to play around with it in PS as far as icons go. I was helping a friend theme his N1 this weekend, and the same icons we found for his I used on my phone... and the pixelate
I am determined to figure it out!

When no one answered here, I decided to just get the sizes from screenshots. I'll repost here if no one has done so when I get the figures.

LOL, I usually only go to the screenshot page. I know if you go to the LauncherPro forum, they have the dock sizes there. Its the icons that are gonna be tricky!

I just meant that I will use a generic screenshot of the HTC Sense UI and measure the height of the dock, and the height/width of the icons and widgets. I would think that should work just fine... right?

Yeah, for the dock... text icons are tricky, that's what I was meaning! I made a simple dock the other day, it was 50h x 320w

Hd widgets

Just download a great, completely customizable weather, clock, settings widget. It's only 99 cents on the market right now. Perfect for my ever changing homescreen. So many themes. Give it a look. I added a couple of pics to show some of the colors and sizes.

I assume you're the developer. I could be wrong. I like the appearance of the widgets, are there anything more than the weather/clock widgets?
Thanks

Bought it. It's awesome. The widgets looks very elegant on my xoom's screen. The variety of widget sizes and looks make this one a great buy!

I was lucky enough to beta test this widget and it was a pleasure watching the developers upgrade and fix it over several months. They are quick to resolve issues and I purchased it as soon as it became available on market.
Edit: @ Saintfyre, the main 8x2 widget allows the forcast on right to be switched with a control panel similar to a power control widget. Things like BT, screen rotation, wifi can all be turned on/off. Beyond that, theyre just weather and clock. Its a replacement for Beautiful widgets.
@OP. What is the Theme you are using? And what is the small up arrow in the center of your notification bar?

First app I bought without much research, saw one review and small review at that in a blog, very happy I bought it, very nice widgets.

I decided to pick it up and was beating my head against the wall because I couldn't get the widgets to appear in the Xoom widget menu after long-pressing. Simple reboot takes care of it, for those who scratch their head like I did after configuring one and trying to find out how to place it. I like what I see so far. Thanks devs!

I believe he's either using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or has found a way to run TouchWiz UX on a Xoom. Probably the first one. The arrow would be the shortcut TW has for the mini apps.

Sorry not the developer, just letting people know about the widget that I liked.
Yes, not a theme, I use a galaxy tab 10.1 now, but old habits like this forum die hard.

In your 3rd pic on the top you are using something that has large buttons as folders. What program does that?

Ok, while you're at it, where did you get that wicked Star Trek wallpaper? /drool

The folders are two apps. Desktop visualizer is a free app that lets you take almost any small picture and use it for a launcher button of any app or bookmark. Then you can resize it to whatever dimensions you want. I have that widget working with the app called folder organizer lite. You can put all your apps into different folders. Apply your own icon and resize away. It saves alot of screen area so you don't have 100 apps taking up real estate. I can post some pics if you want to see what it looks like. Both apps are free in the market.
And here is the uss enterprise wallpaper. But you have to use the multipicture live wallpaper (free) in order to get it to display correctly. Honeycomb crops the sh!# out of it.

Under the HD Widgets settings you can add and remove different sizes.

[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?

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.

Which clock? You mean the original HTC fancy widget?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

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.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

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...
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

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.

[Q] Custom launcher Quick Contacts widget not shown

As the title says.
I'd like to use a custom launcher the blur one is a little laggy. But I love the "Quick Contacts" widget.
But when installing launcher ex or launcher pro it doesn't show. It's there but can't see it. Anyone else had this???

Like you, I LOVE that widget, however, there is yet no way to get it to work in any launcher besides the stock blur
sent from my ROOTED DROID3 from the XDA app

Ugh. That sucks. Hope it will be fixed soon :-(

Go launcher pro has a widget similar to the stock contact widget and you can size it the way you like.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

I know I know. But it's for sure not as amazing . If I size it the same it takes a whole screen. The moto one is just awesome. Snifffff

True. It doesn't pull down like the stock one.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

Yeah, the stock one is really pretty, animated, and only takes up one line of screen when you don't need it.

Transparent dock

Anyone know of a mod that will make the dock transparent like the widget mod?

I think I give up asking questions here. Lol
82 views and nothing. Hmm.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

A different launcher would do the trick. Only suggestion I can offer at the moment.
Kind of a shame to lose some of the Sense features though.
I tried using Nova Prime today and, even though I really like it, I ended up back with Sense. I used it all the time on my One X. I love hiding the dock and changing other things, but it just isn't miles better than Sense anymore.
Anyway, maybe you might like it. It'll give you a good number of ways to customize the dock.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

You can use vrtheme with a zip for change the png of the dock in sense.
However, for trickdroid this mod excits!

I found a mod in the Themes & Apps section. I saw it before but I didn't know the dock was considered the "nav bar". There were no screenshots. I decided to just try it and it made the dock transparent.
