I've been searching around and have only found one guide on creating a custom icon metamorph theme, it doesn't seem too bad. Thy only problem is it only said you can only morph app icons in system/app so since those are only rom apps, is there a way to change the icons on downloaded apps? I'm not sure where they are located but can you just move the apk and odex files for the downloaded apps to system/app and be able to morph them?
I'm using the MIUI rom but hate the way it puts the purple rounded box around icons, I'd like to be able to change the icon to a larger size that fills up the entire box.
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance

Thanks for linking us to the pack - now we can all use it
P.S., There should be a new rule in xda. If you post an awesome homescreen or say you found an enormous theme pack, you must link to the wallpaper, theme and all widgets - otherwise you are just teasing us.
Does anyone know of a way to resize icons on the home screen? Not the widgets but the icons. Something free would be great. And not Desktop Visualizer, the free version only let's you resize widgets,
not what I want. Thanks in advance.

Update: figured it out
Resize the icons using Photoshop or GIMP.
Example:
My icons are 120x120 pixels but I want them to be 40x40
- CTRL + ALT + I using Photoshop - Save. Copy to SDCard
- Use 1x1 using Desktop Visualizer.
Other than that I'm not sure. I'm drunk though, but saw this thread and felt it needed an answer LOLOL!
I might have got the question wrong though, haha.
Well I'm drunk too and that seems like it makes sense.
thanks

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.

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.

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.

Okay so I decided to go through the drawble hdpi folder in the themes and delete the unnessecary 1000+ pngs and kept the 470 icons so enclosed in the zip is such just extract em, and enjoy ill post some screenshots here for some refrence
How to use em: get adw ex or other launchers that allow you to edit desktop icons hold the icon choose edit and select from pictures find the unzipped folder and scroll through them.

Went back to an old cm7 nandroid just to mess around with some stuff and try out the morphs that darkdog posted on the crystal.apk thread and damn does this theme look great, especially with voodoo color!

I was inspired by digitalhigh's icey theme but realized that there are never any good red themes for miui. So I decided to take it upon myself to make that happen.
Out of beta, everything should be working pretty well now
I hope you guys enjoy this bloody goodness as much as I do!

If it helps with the icons - you don't even need the apk or package name for most programs. If you visit the play store link for an app on a computer, the URL will have the package name in it, and the main image shown is a .png you can download and use for the icon.
For example..."poop rearing simulator mobile":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.android.unko&hl=en
Between "id=" and "&hl" is the package name, jp.android.unko.
On the page itself, in the top-left box beneath "Poop Rearing Simulator Mobile" and "Y.soft", is the icon:
Windows clipboard doesn't like transparency, so I just save the icon, then (from chrome) drag-drop the new icon from the download bar into the template I've attached.
Scale it however you want...don't worry about the shape yet. Each one is different, but given the new MIUI style, I try to go for sweet and simple.
Since yours is red, you'd need to modify one of the overlay colors at first, but then you can just copy the layer style to the new icon, ctrl+click layer 0 to select the outline, select the new icon layer, and then hit the "add vector mask" button. Make sure to unlink the mask and layer in the case you want to scale the icon after the fact.
And just in case you (or anybody else reading) aren't sure how to do the last two (I know I avoided masks like the plague for years), refer to the highlighted spots in the attached picture for where to click to make a mask and unlink the two.
Then that's about it. I like to call my layer name whatever the package name is - and I copy/paste it right from the address bar into photoshop. Just easier to keep track of things when exporting.
And...er...sorry to jack your thread. I'd make this it's own tutorial thread, but I don't think there's a super-high demand for MIUI icon tutorials. However, feel free to share whatever you come up with in red - I'll try to do the same. If we're using the same template, then we could actually pool our resources to come up with a massive iconset.
Haha by all means post help when ever you want
I'm pretty good with Photoshop, illustrator is more up my alley but they're pretty similar. Just not much experience with android theming
I think the reason I'm having scaling issues with the .9.PNG files is because I just took a miui v5 theme and unzipped each com.android by adding a .zip extension to them.
Did you use a theme as a base or did you pull straight from a miui v5 ROM into the theme tool? Because the files seem to be in different places from v4 to v5

I did a combination of things. To extract all the v5 resources, I used MIUI Theme editor, then cleaned up the .xml files. I then used MTE to extract all the resources from the latest JB release of v4. Then it was a buttload of hunting and searching to find what elements did match up, and renaming/moving ones that did not.
However, by the looks of it, I'd guess that the scaling issues present in your screenshots are probably because you manually edited a .9 image and did something to the outside edge (definition) that it doesn't like. I had the same glitch in the compose box in MMS.apk. This is why it's essential to use the "hue" attribute when overlaying anything with color...it'll leave all the black borders untouched. Likewise, I'm actually editing a .9 image, I will cut out the inside graphics and make them their own layer before editing anything, just to be sure I don't kill the borders. .9patch is useful, but very very finnicky.
Ah yeah that would make sense, I did use the hue overlay. From what I can see the stuff I extracted doesn't have the guides that the .9's need in the first place. I Amy need to find a new rom or mtz to extract from.
It sucks because I did all the searching too, just haven't found everything haha
