Hello fellas!
I recently switched over to Launcher 7 and decided to create a couple of tiles for all the apps that I have, since the default settings didn't really look that astonishing.
And just in case anybody else is also looking for some tiles, I wanted to share mine with ya'll. ;-)
The pack includes 66 different tiles.
If you like my work and are interested in more stuff, just tell me for which apps and in which size you would like to have tiles, and I'd be glad to create some more.
Some examples are attached to this post.
Cheers!
Very nice! I'm always looking for more tiles
How you doin'? Greetings from my GT-I9000!
Wonderful! But i suggest you to post them also in the main thread/collections of tiles

Great idea, thanks! Done already.
Downloaded! Will check them out soon. Thanks Turney
Hey man!
I know this is an old post but i really love your tiles! Any change of you still doing them? I dont think so :l but worths the try because the tiles are perfect!
I was looking for some new ones like a tapatalk or forums tile, 'games' tile (any game image with 'games' word, for make a folder), favorites tile (for folder use too), a 4shared one, a 'notes' tile (i dont like evermote app lol) and maybe a tuneIn. Oh, and a really important one, a phonebook tile, because theres only the phone tile. Well... if someone thinks can do some tiles like Turney's style I would be really glad. Thanks and sorry my english.

good job
I got these extracted from a apple I phone theme and shared here. Looks pretty beautiful when applied on handset.
kinda noob here, but that thumbnail of yours... is that your real homescreen theme or just a presentation? if it's a homescreen I would loooove to have that theme on my phone. thx
Look interesting. Good job!

could you translate to english?
could we see a wallpaper you used or the hand made?
Looking good, Thanks
These are great! But the collection is incomplete without a web browser icon
off the beaten track
i was looking through the marketplace at apps and noticed that some of the pics and fonts used for the application logo are super ugly. The app logos from developers we know and love are solid but it looks like some of these others were just thrown together with no time, thought, creativity, or effort. This may sound petty on my part, but i refuse to load up my home screen with tiles that take away from the beauty of Metro UI.
"Pocket Money" and "Popular Tic Tac Toe" are some examples of half baked tiles.
Comments?
Most definitely, there are tons of ugly icons. Even some that were iPhone icons simply blown up to fit a WP7 tile (curved edges and all). Its pretty sad. Its definitely something I look at when I go through the Marketplace. Ugly icons are simply unforgivable seeing as its just an image.
Oh, and I see how some of the non-Xbox LIVE games use the same tile style as an Xbox LIVE game, and I think that is somewhat misleading. There should be some rule that does not allow non-conforming applications from using official Microsoft tile styles (such as non-Xbox LIVE games from using the same style/header tile as an Xbox LIVE game).
I know your 'pain'
I also used to filter by icons first, if they were ugly, no chance I would download it, exception being if I ran into something absolutely unique and useful, which is hardly the case since there are tons of apps for anything.
But you can take charge of the icons! Simply open WinRar and open the XAP with it and in there you will see the tile icons (1 for Pin and 1 for app list). Simply open them and edit them and you're done. A good place to look for WP7-type of icons is the NounProject (which I can't post the link to yet, so just search it)
I do agree with you guys as well
But you must remember wM7 is pretty new for most developers out there and most of the apps out there may be their first.
so coming by end of this year which should have decent apps and icons and stuff
I have found some pretty free apps that are super brilliant in UI and stuff
Well basically, if you sideload your app, meaning you downloaded it with one of the market apps to find here, you can change your icons on the go. The Xap file is not less than a zip file. Opening it with winzip or 7zip or others gives you than the opportunity to change the application icon. Of course, for paid apps coming from Marketplace, it's not possible.

I agree, titles pawning themselves off as Xbox live titles seems misleading and underhanded. MS needs to set some guidelines before we have 100,000 misleading games and ugly app logos.

I agree that developers are new to WP7, but some devs are getting it right. The OEM microsoft tile logos are not the greatest but they do look well thought out and don't take away from WP7's elegance. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't do what developers do in a million years, but if they want to make money they need to keep the logos and tiles as nice as the OS.

Right, and we're not really talking about the application code itself. Yes, that part is relatively new and such, but this is a simple image we're talking about. People have been making GIFs and JPEGs and PNGs for ages. There is just no excuse for a poorly made colored block.
lmao i dont think i ever paid that much attention to the way tiles look....ha i was looking to see what people were talking about but i don't see anything to "horrid"
i guess it's all subjective

maybe i'm being petty.
Im a huge fan of BitModDev's Metro UI Pro launcher . He updates it like mad, but you can now add your own FULL tiles to the launcher. I have spent a little bit of time editing/resizing some images that have turned out pretty well so far .
My goal is to start a thread for us all to share our tiles with each other. For standard tiles, the size is 120 x 120. For wide tiles, the size is 246 x 120.
Im by no means a Photoshop guru, but so far i have :
Dropbox
Market
IMDB
Angry Birds
Twitter
Zune
MMA Underground
Twitter
TV Show Stream

Lets keep this thing going. Those are just the apps i use most often, but im working on several more right now that i will upload when i can.
Here is a video so you can get an idea of what you can do. I made it for a contacts beta, but nonetheless applies here.

Nice , care to post yours in here? I didnt see you had one going already. Id appreciate it.
Also, in his newest update , if you long press your Contacts tile , go to Item Count and select people. That will get the pictures to show up on the tile, the app im running when i click that isnt released yet. but can go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818607 if you want to donate and take part .
Good work on your tiles BTW , ADD THEM!! haha
your quick dude. thanks. maybe a mod can combine the threads since it would make it easier for everyone. good job guys. keep those tiles coming!!
Damn, I have the contacts app with some FB pictures synced.. the people count doesn't work for me
yeah same with me bowsa, i emailed the OP today asking if theres a solution and hopefully if there isn't it will be implemented soon and know the dev it will be tomorrow seeing how quick he is haha.
I've done a music and people icons. Check them out!

You think it'll be better than drizzy's?
I think Launcher 7 is better than Metro UI personally and it's free. Does Metro UI even have any live tiles yet?
Anyways, I'm pretty impressed with the WP7 UI, though I like widgets. Keep switching back and forth.
More tiles are good.

while i will say Launcher 7 is a bit smoother and has drag and drop... Metro ui has the Live people tile which i love , and i know for a fact he is working on fb , twitter, and music . The thing about launcher 7 (last time i ran it) , is you couldnt set FULL tile custom icons to 1x1 icons . Only 2x1 , and thats a deal breaker for me . Makes it look way to fake with a baby icon chillin in the middle of a big blue tile .
FTW Metro UI Updated and added drag and drop support to the tiles now!
Oh sh*t! ! Thanks. About to update now

Yea the lack of full tile images on 1x1 tiles ruined launcher 7 for me too. It is smoother and has fade animation which is a plus for me. It also does have live people tiles. Launcher 7 live people tile actually seems to be a little bit better than metro ui people tile. They both have good qualities. I just wish that either of them advance and gain all the qualities of both combined. But for now im sticking with metro ui, or at least until launcher 7 gives full image tile support on 1x1 tiles

do you have to have the pro version to do the contacts pics?
I did a little searching on the forums but havnt come accross a post that has the correct size for a wallpaper size that wont look all pixelated and terrible when applied. ive tried 1200x1024 and even 1900x1024 it all looks pretty bad. Any information would be awesome! Thanks
No offense but didn't look to hard. The VERY first page of Themes and Apps section has the thread your looking for, with all the details you want. In a nutshell there is no REAL resolution, but that thread has the solution and it works very well.

my bad i searched in General and Q&A i didnt think it would be in themes.
No worries, if you could see my face that was typed with a smile. We're all here (well most of us anyway) to make this awesome device more usable for everybody, i don;t mind helping at all. Didn't mean to come off rude if i did

Give Multi Picture Live Wallpaper a try, free in the market. Has worked 100% for me.
Rodney
Install QuickPic (free) and set wallpaper with it. It'll keep the image nice and sharp.
example: http://k.min.us/ib6DuE.png
It's also a great image viewer, faster than the gallery and easy to exclude certain folders.
Agree with previous post. Greaet app.
Quickpic does a good job for Portrait wallpapers but fails badly at Landscape. Ive tried everything possible on the nook for a locked landscape setup and the best result ive had was gathering a ton of pictures, slapping them into a folder, then selecting that folder inside a app called Wall Switch from the market, and just keep switching till a razor sharp one shows up.
I know its not a proper method, but after a while, at least one of them shows up super sharp and high-res and looks amazing. Wish i could be more precise, but thats all i got.
I love what you did

Eozoon, I wish you had posted how you arranged such a nice looking layout. Does anyone know what he used? I would love to know.
*EDIT* I found out where the battery and disk widgets come from, if I find out anymore I'll update my post.
Calendar widget
CPU widget
Folder icons
Battery % widget => Mini Info
disk usage widget => Mini Info
Toggle widget
Launcher/theme
I forgot what the clock is might just be beautiful widgets. Sorry I used to know but this ins't much help.
The cpu widget is SetCPU.
Not sure about the others.

Calendar widget - I assume you mean the clock? That's Simi Clock, I also use Simple Calendar Widget for the actual calendar in an other homescreen.
CPU widget - SetCPU
Folder icons - Simi Folder
Battery % widget => Mini Info
disk usage widget => Mini Info
Toggle widget - Widgetsoid
Launcher/theme - ADW, default theme, I think. Wallpaper from Wallbase.
Thanks for the info. Now I can get mine looking spiffy.

Search on the market for an app called "Image 2 Wallpaper". It's given really clear images and allows for different scaling options.
