Hello,
please forgive my noobness, but I was kind of unaware of what to seach for this, so I will just ask.
I am interesting in making a theme for M2D which means changing the background, icons and colors.
Could someone PLEASE send me in the right direction on how to learn how to do this?
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
I've searched all around the net (and XDA off course), but I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Does anyone have a Snow Leopard folder icon (icns) with an embossed Android logo?
Or is anyone here grafically gifted enough to create such thing? I really suck at graphical design, so hopefully anyone in here is willing to give it a try. I'll buy the best one a cup of coffee (or a beer if you prefer that over coffee...)
I've attached a plain folder icon and an example of the Snow Leopard Downloads folder, to show the embossing effect. I'd really like at least the Android robot to show embossed in the folder, the text "Android" is less relevant (but would be cool, if the robot doesn't get too small). Can anyone help me out?
Thanks for your trouble.
Edit Co-member Jumba created a beautiful folder icon, with can be found in post #19. The result can be found in post #20.
Jumba, thanks again!
Sincerely,
Mac

Don't worry about the coffee.

I've replaced the generic icon for the folder with your icon, but for some reason it doesn't match the rest of them. See screenshots attached. The difference is best seen in the first screenshot (list view). Could it be you used a different template? Or did I provide the wrong template?

Hmmm, not sure... I tried to match the icon stye to the reference you posted, but sometimes a simple difference in line thickness doesn't translate so well when reducing the icon size. I also used an online converter to convert from .png to .icns, so maybe that blurred the output slightly. The top edge of the folder doesn't look quite like the others, so maybe the template wasn't exactly correct. I can make the lines a bit thicker, but I'm not sure what's up with the folder...

Hi Jumba,
Thanks for your effort, again.
I think I know what's 'wrong'.... If I open the generic folder icon, there's multiple icons inside (like in yours), but the smallest icon has a different folder layout. See screenshot attached. Could you edit the generic folder with the logo, to retain the difference between the large and smallest size? I hope I'm not asking to much of you...
The first edition is my favourite, as all folder icons have the graphic center aligned...

Mac

That's what I have been using. The only problem is that it only accepts one file, then builds the other sizes itself. I need the ability to inject different sizes into the file, but no worries, I think I have a solution...

Almost there... It looks a lot better (it's nearly perfect), so thank you again for your time and effort . One small request (hopefully)... (and please let me buy you a cup of coffee, as I highly appreciate the trouble you've taken!)
It's only the smallest size which is different now. I've made two screenshots, from your icon and the generic folder icon, both zoomed in at the same level. Would it be possible to give your icon the same 'border' as the generic one? That way it will blend in with the rest of them (see last screenshot).
Thanks again!
Mac
It's a pleasure, thanks are reward enough. Here's one with the small icon fixed.
Edit: The icon is a blank folder for now. Let me find a small android icon...
Since Jumba is being such a good sport I can suggest donating to the XDA crew as they both deserve and need it.
I'm loving both your work and attitude!

[UPDATE 06/27/2017 | THEME l MOD ] Transparent Widget Skins
What this thread is about.
You attach the .apk that needs the widget transparent. Someone that knows how to make it transparent will take time out of their day to help. You can show your appreciation by pushing "Thanks." This thread is only for widgets and not the whole app.
If you have a request please post the .APK (no spaces in the file name) of the program along with a screen shot of the widget if possible to help the modders know what to change without installing it, thanks! To find the .apk to attach go here. Another way look here. To make your own transparent widgets look here.
All credit goes to the people making these widgets transparent.
Below are the recent ones.

Thanks to those still viewing this thread!!
In the 2nd post there is a "pending requests" section.
FAQ
I have a paid app. Can I still post it?
Please do not post any paid apps. You may have gotten it free during a promotion but it still costs money. If you do post it and a mod finds out you may receive an infraction.
How do I install this?
Uninstall the app on your phone using titanium backup (free in the market) and then install the .apk file you downloaded from here using a file manager.
How do I post an app that I want transparent here?
To find the .apk to attach look here
I installed it but the widget isn't transparent.
Try changing the theme on your phone as some themes like to override the app so you will always see a background. One other reason is that the widget was only changed for HDPI devices. You may request a MDPI transparent widget.
I want it in a different text color.
For text color requests please keep it to black and/or white.
Why do requests take so long?
There is no team working on these everyday. The people doing these are just like you and me and take time out of their day to help. Some take minutes to do and some take hours to do. In the end some may be impossible to do. Give us time and eventually someone may get to yours. Thanks for your patience.
I posted and my post was ignored.
I read every post and will put requests with the .apk file attached in the 2nd post. If you just post a name or a link to the market I may not put that request in the 2nd post. If I did the requests would be 50+ and never ending as not everyone uses the same apps as you and they don't want to download it. Also, sometimes everyone reading will not know the answer and won't reply. Thanks for understanding.
I want to help you make widgets transparent.
Look in the second post. Thanks!

Sure thing. But there are 3 sizes of tucked frame: 2X2 2x4 and 4x4. Which size do you want?
all of them
Here are pins 2x2, tucked 2x2, tucked 2x4 and tucked 4x4.
can you plz explain how to install them,coz in SD/MIUI folder there is no gadget folder

Make a "gadget" folder in MIUI folder then make a "photo_frame" folder in the gadget folder and copy the zipped file in the photo_frame folder. (Do not extract the zipped file)
sdcard>MIUI>gadget>photo_frame
Awesome!! Thank you so much for these!!
