Hope you guys can help. I have several different music players on my Thunderbolt (Cubed, Jukefox, Mortplayer, Winamp, Poweramp, Mixzing) and Phantom Player control widget controling the stock Android music player. Its the closest I have found to what I would love to have.
What I would like to know is this:
Is there a music control widget that looks more like someone scribbled or doodled the controls on a sheet of paper, something that looks hand drawn? No background, and the ability to use custom text for album name and/or artist name?
What I am trying to do (im not rooted, so no pictures) is make my GoLauncher look like a note pad. I am currently using Desktop VisualizeR and SimpleText to make my icons look like they are written in lazy handwritting. And I am OK with the Minimilistic text for clock, battery and weather being more stocky. I am also using Simple Calendar and allthough its also stocky, its working.
I have the wallpaper, and my home page is really close, just would like to know if there is a widget for music control that allows that doodled, hand drawn look? Same with a clock and calender widget too?
thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
for the clock i guess you could use mclock. if there is no handdrawn theme available there's a topic with instructions on how to make one

Is the topic for those of us that know nothing about programming and have limited resources for this kind of thing? And where is this topic?

right, but it is possible to write a third party pictures plugin that would allow you to do this. just needs some knowledge of mortscript or .net or whatever you feel comfortable with

I know, but it will only let you make 20 pages? (not?)
And my exams start next week, so i can't do it

I wish I could do it but this is way beyond me...
I used to use a program that lets one display picture slideshow on today screen as a plugin but on wm 6.5 that's not possible anymore - I asked a few people on titanium forums if they could create a panel that does this but they couldn't.

lol funny one eh! I wish I had more time in my hand i would probably do it. What I can attempt to do is a slideshow panel, that's an easy one. tell it the target directory, refresh time and voila, although there aren't any fancy transitions available for titanium but it is very very possible. I'll see what I can do, maybe the slideshow as an addition to CAnalogClock would be nice.

I agree 100%, a few months ago, I barely use 10% off all of the pimp stuff I got installed on my phone lol, that's probably why I ditched the iphone and came back to WM, it's no fun if you can't tweak it to your liking right?

Post a screenshot on the plugin thread, I'm sure someone has a fix for you, it's only a matter of properly arranging the .cpr to your screen resolution.

I can help I could'nt yesterday but today I can! I learn.
Let's be intopic here and post that screenshot at the plugin thread. It should be no problem fixing it for you, if you can already see something Everything in that plugin can be scaled and shifted around in the .cpr file Now: post it!
I've searched the 'net, I've looked at every crappy icon pack in the market, and I absolutely cannot find an icon pack that I am satisfied with.
Basically what I'm looking for are solid (non-transparent) versions of the LauncherPro icons, or icons that are identical (one solid color with no transparency or shadowing) so that I can edit them to my liking.
I've got decent photoshopping skills, but I've tried goofing around with the LauncherPro icons to no avail, I can't get them looking quite right.
Recommendations would be MUCH appreciated!
I assume you mean the application icons, in the applications list? Are you able to provide a screenshot of one you tried to edit (before or after)?

Sorry, I lost track and didn't subscribe. I'm just talking about the stock Launcher Pro Dock icons, sort of.

See the ones at the bottom? Like that, basically.
I See What You Mean.
Someone should release a vector version of those icons. :/
Wrong post. I'm dumb.
I know what you mean. I always find great icons, but they don't look right in the dock. They're made too small and look bad.
Here you go: http://www.iconfinder.com/browse
There are currently 760 full icon sets in there as I type this, all free, some for even commercial use, which allow you to download in .png or .ico format. You can even search for individual replacements for icons as well.
Happy hunting!

First let me say I take no credit for any of the work in this link, I can only take credit for starting the thread and sharing my find with XDA community.
(Some of you may have already come across it)
These docks should come in handy for everyone that has different themes or wants to match up a wallpaper, whether you have stock roms, custom roms or for those of you that have flashed new themes..
Enjoy......I hope you find them useful.
http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/
Instructions..
1. Download Barcode Reader from the market.
2. Use the Barcode reader to read the images next to the icon or dock you choose.
3. Press on the image
4.Long press on the image, you should now get the option to save to your SD Card.
5.Use Launcher pro to set your icons or dock.
Here is a few Screenshots of some of the docks (not icons)
Last one is the one I kept...
Feel free to post new Icons and Docks in this thread...
Bump as requested
That's great thanks.
I was wondering where you got the text-based icons for your dock from. They are just what I have been looking for.
I think I have stumbled across them:

Or create them yourself in photoshop; start with a 84*84px canvas, transparent background and write the text in the desired color using the text tool. Save as .png.
the 84*84 you are talking about is that standard for Desire HD? some of the text icons i downloaded are quite tiny for me to read so i might try and create my own. normal icons launcher pro comes with are fine
Glad your finding the link useful...
Dude - why did you get rid of the pics of your phone layout?
Thank you so much!
A partner and i have been working on a simple clock widget themed off the one in android 3.0.....there is a lite version for free and a paid version for $0.99 that allows you to choose from 16 different colors...please support us and download it
I am hoping that we update soon. I know that currently this app has rather poor ratings and is being trumped by a similar one like it, due to the other one being more functional. However, the new update will include completely redesigned graphics, which I must note will be an exact replica of what is currently on Honeycomb (i.e all, not some, of the rings will rotate, and all will rotate with the correct increment of time corresponding)...the only issue right now is getting the clock to open the alarm app, I have the correct code if only i knew how to implement it correctly, and I dont really want to ask my partner due to the fact that usually he is busy.
Anyway, check out the attached pics of the preview for version 2 at the bottom....just a note, the graphics do look as bad as the pictures, obviously the quality on the pics ahas been compressed in the attatchements
https://market.android.com/details?id=honeycomb.clocks.lite&feature=search_result
https://market.android.com/details?id=honeycomb.clocks&feature=search_result
-just a side note, for those that love tron, you will love out widget
Update Pending
Thanks for the info. Looks great.
Hey I just bought the pro version
Question - where can I find the slanted dockbar you show in the demo pics?
Cheers.

He just placed a few app shortcuts to the homescreen and lined them up like that.
Clever; I must have put in every imaginable search term for slanted dockbar - thanks for the feedback - I'll have to play with it later..
Is there anything else you guys would like to see in the app?...i want to do an update with transparent backgrounds, but my partner and i are hesitant to, as it would be an overload of widgets, it would just be a long list of Honeycomb Clock, Honeycomb Clock transparent (no black) and so on
It would help alot to do an update if someone would please tell us how to package them together like the HTC clocks or the beautiful widgets
also can somebody please tell us how to get this to work with other alarm clock apps when you click on it, besides the stock android alarm clock app
thank u very much
can u please post the wallpaper u used in the demo pics?

HELP THIS MAN!! Because a transparent background would make this clock complete. Lol
I have one question. TBH how does these lines works? They're showing seconds, minutes or what? those color line ofcourse.
We (myself and energizerpanda) are proud to present you an icon pack (150 x 150 px) based on Symbian Anna. Some of the icons were taken from a system dump, and some of them were self-made.
The current pack has several icons, but feel free to post which icons do you miss, and we will try to create them.
Changelog:
05/07/11 - First release !
17/07/11 - Added icons for: Evernote, eBook Reader, Winamp, Cozi, Pocket Informant, Waze, Folder Organizer

Looks great, gonna check them out when I get home from work!
Very nice icon pack! I searched the theme you based it on & downloaded those as well. Going through them to see which I'd use normally & which more important (to me) ones are missing.
Going to use some generics now (generic Twitter instead of Plume), but can you provide icons for:
eBook Reader (I use 3 readers, so anything you'd like for now)
Cozi (attaching image)
Pocket Informant
Waze
Since I don't see good generics for them. Very happy to add these to my icon collection since I tend to change icons every few months!
Edit: Regarding attachments, please use the the 3 little loops tings on Cozi (not the text), and likewise the little car for Waze. Actually, for Waze, may be better modeling off the icon I see on the appbrain page (http://www.appbrain.com/app/waze:-community-gps-navigation/com.waze)
We will update the pack as soon as they're done.
Sorry but how do I install these?
Copy the icons to your phone and download Desktop Visualizer from the market.
Thanks for sharing
Here are the requested icons by polstein.
I tested them on my phone and they look fine.
For the moment I can't add them to the pack but you will get them soon enough!
How can i resize them to 72x72(HDPI) without losing its quality ?

A number of different ways. Most common as mentioned is Desktop Visualizer. That's a widget that lets you pick an app/shortcut & use a custom icon. It also has an advantage that you can have it point to an generically named icon - then you can replace the icon, reboot & DV will show the new image. Very useful if you change icons every couple of months for fun!
(also why you might see me on several threads requesting the same icons over & over again
An easier way might be to use an app called Folder Organizer, which also allows you to change icons & text labels.
Advanced people can modify the apk of the install & change the icon, but has some drawbacks that go along with it. But it's also the only way I know of to change an icon everywhere (like in recent apps lists).
--
I see the new icons I asked for, they look very nice. I especially like the textured background on Informant. How many icons did you want to crank out? I always hate overloading designers, but if you're willing I'll keep handing out requests!
Keep on requesting. Don't forget to thank energizerpanda for his hard work. I am only with the organization and researching.

Updated with new icons. Check first post for download links.
Looking good, downloading now!
can someone please make an lp pack out of these?
thanks for the hard work, always loved the anna icons
@cavihit - We're working on making a LauncherPro pack but we have to add more icons.
Latest icons:
Please help me with your opinion about these icons because I need to know if I can add them to the pack.
Icons look good! So far the only one I'm not thrilled with is Waze (more because of their cartoony look that doesn't match the rest of the set).
Something I noticed last night when I replaced some of the generic icons in favor of the correct app icon: Some of the original generics look better anyway!
F'instance, I was using the 'carhome' icon instead of Waze, but I think I'm switching back to carhome.
Another example is generic Music vs Winamp (currently on Winamp). Still another is Calendar vs Informant (currently using Calendar!)
Now in a couple cases I needed the specific app (like Cozi, and there wasn't an eBook one).
Of course, best of all worlds for me is to have options & change them when the mood strikes
I'm making every icon for its specific app. (If you use the Calendar app then you should use the generic icon found in the pack)
I hope you all understand that I try to create icons that are not in the pack and not to replace the generic icons. (Only if requested)
@polstein - Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm gonna post new icons when finished so please test them and reply!
