A snapshot of the new icons
I think they look very good on my phone. coming tomorrow..
New Icons for Androkkid "TransparentFrames" finally!
These new Icons should work better for those of you who have like me found the standard winmo icon ugly and pixelated.
I have always thought that some of the IPhone's attraction was the beautiful icons that were uniform in size and shape. So I made my own for Ifonz (based on other people's graphic work). When Androkkid came along I loved the scenic wallpapers you could use but I thought the beautiful scenery of the wallpapers became too cluttered with the IPhone style icons and that the square icons ruined the effect of the beautiful wallpapers.
So these new icons are designed to preserve a uniform style and at the same time be better integrated into the "scenery" by using transparency.
I hope that some of you will have a look at these and tell me what you think
PS If you resize these, they will not work. If they are resized by Androkkid they are fine.
If you want to use these and need other icons, ask me on the themes Thread and I'll see what I can do.

I HAVE MOVED ALL ICON DEVELOPMENT TO THIS THREAD
New!!! Golden Frames
For those who really want to pimp up our phones
here are some Screenshots
The theme used is Teacher's Gold which you find below with the icons
More Screenshots
and even more
the icon files
Finally the iconfiles!
Please consider to try them out, I don't think they are as beautifull as some of the Iphone like icons, like the ones made by bluemetalaxe or Stereo's Leopard, but when you see them glide across the scenery in Androkkid they feel much more integrated into the scenery than the Iphone like icons which leave kind of a square hole in the scenery, however beautiful they are. So what do you have to loose, give 'em a try:
Edit have added new iconfile today 15/12-09 they are now checked out for "white and black" holes and should be okay

Transparent Icons
These look nice, thank you very much! Any chance you could add a couple more icons to the package (96x96): SMS, Voicemail, Calender, Missed Calls? Or, just tell me how to make these myself and I'll take a stab at it, there's a few web icons I'd like, too. Thanks again!

I'll gladly tell you how I made these, but first here are some suggestions for icons, but what do you mean by an icon for "missed calls" In Androkkid you get a small red circle with the number of missed calls you have. If you think about something else give me a hint
Hope you like these

What is problematic with winmo is that it doesn't support "white". In an icon with transparancy, pure white will show up like a black hole in the icon so you have to substitute white with another light white-ish color.
Another problem is this: When a graphic program like gimp or photoshop compresses a png to a smaller size. it conserves the smoothness of the png by making semitransparant pixels, these are not supported either and show up like white holes in the icons.
If you just index the png it will avoid the semitransparent pixels, but it will scale down with a very crude and pixelated result.
My way around this is to put the compressed png in a frame filled with a very nondescript greyish color. Then I have to eraze all the grey color and decide pixel by pixel which pixels have enough color to let them remain.
This is why it takes so much time to resize these icons. I have to do this every time. In the icon files I have uploaded you can find both an empty and a filled frame.
If you want to try this for yourself you are very welcome to do so but remember that you have test each icon on your phone to find "holes" before you publish them.
PS I haven't tested the last batch of seven icons yet but I will test them before I publish a zip file with extra icons.
PS Gimp is a fantastic graphic program which you can download for free here
Best of luck
Missed Calls
And here's a missed calls icon in three colors
Icons
These all look great, and wow that was fast! By "missed calls" I should have put "Call History" or "Call Log", but it looks like you got the gist with the icons because they're perfect! I'm probably pushing my luck, but maybe a "Tasks" icon? It's the only request I can think of off the top of my head. I'll check out the app you suggested tonight and see if I can create a few "Web" graphics, thanks again!

reg66, can you change this thread's title to match the androkkid spelling so this thread shows in searches
I have some specific icon requests if possible. I'll also be attempting my own icon pack in the near future.. I'm waiting for this quarter's classes to end first.
SMS like above in the bubble, but instead of a blue bubble, a green one like the MMS.
A voice mail icon
Internet Connection Sharing
Clean Ram
MySoftReset
A lock
3 Icons for the Sound Profile widget
Sims 3 (but I can live without this one) ;x
Thank you so much.. These Icons look great, thats why I hope you can make these so my phone can look even better.
New Theme
Am I the first to produce a new theme for Androkkid?
Let me introduce Obsidian, for those who might prefer a more businesslike theme.
It has been developed on a QVGA screen so I have no idea whether it will work on other screen resolutions.
Just unzip and place the Obsidian folder in the Androkkid Themes folder. It will then be available to select under Settings
The Title buttons (more than shown) can be found in the Obsidian theme folder along with a blank if you wish to make different titles (I can make others if you aren't able to do that). I set the size of the Title buttons to 128 x 32 in Androkkid settings and they have to be positioned, as for any other icon. They can also be used as shortcuts as per normal icons. For example, in my setup, I have the Contact button pointing to my address book.
The 'Lock' Icon on the Home page is not part of the theme but has been designed to match. I have included that icon in the Obsidian theme folder, but none of the other icons.
8 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated for compatibility with Androkkid 1.2.0.0 (inclusion of TopBarIcons,png) and correction of transparency problem with Edit & Delete buttons
15 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated with modified graphics

I'll see how quick I can get around to make these
There already is a cleanram icon (the one with the broom) but if you don't like it I can make another. For SoftReset I use the icon from the icon pack called "exit" (I use "Slide2shutdown" myself) There also is a bluelock (ScreenLock) in the iconpack I have that one in green and red too
I don't know which sound widget you mean, please give me a link or something.
Here are some examples, tell me what you think..
Internet Sharing
Below is a suggestion for Internet Sharing.
With a Globe from Everaldo Coelho's magnificent Crystal themed icons
Edit. Made a new versions of this icon where the arrows stand out more
The widget, which can be found on the market, is called "What's Today Calendar Widget" and "What's Today Cal Widget Donate." Like the name implies, it tells about today. The day of the week is displayed, along with the calendar date.
Never forget the day of the week or the day of the month again! And best of all, it has an Eclair theme to it to match Google's "News and Weather" widget.
If you like the way it looks (shown in attached screenshots), please check it out in the market and considering purchasing "What's Today Widget" from the market. Thanks!!
Changelog:
1.0
– Released
1.1
– 2×1 Widget Added
1.3
- Re-coded the widget from the ground up
- Press widget to open calendar agenda
- Fixed a bug with updating the correct date (still buggy, it’s being worked on)
- Updated widget images to better match Google’s “News and Weather” widgets
You're seriously charging money for this..? It takes 1 line of code and a layout xml to make this in Android.
I'm not trying to be a **** or put you off learning the sdk, but maybe you should come up with some more creative ideas before trying to charge people for them.. After all, you can just pull down the notification bar to see the date.
Point noted. To be honest, I wasn't sure how things like this are usually received.
I've made it free on the market now. Thanks for your feedback.
I still think you should make a donate version...maybe just $0.25. I tried to do exactly what goldenarmZ said and ran out of time and patience, so there may be a market out there for this.
Sadly the market does not let me charge less than 99 cents, otherwise I would.
I have uploaded a Donate version of the Widget for 99 cents. Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried it for a bit, but it seems to have the formatting of the Nexus News widget which is a different size and shape than the Power Control widget. Maybe I'm just picky, but having two nearly similar widgets on the screen that aren't exactly the same size looks a bit off...
Wow I love the simplicity of it. I would def. donate
Nice work OP.
Keep it installed to see what the dev will do with updates, but I keep finding it running a process, even though I don't have any widgets on the screen? Going to have to uninstall for this reason...
There will be an update soon that will attempt to address the problem with the process running, but I'm not sure exactly why this is.
To keep updated on this widget, the changelog is at http://naterad.com/android/category/widgets/whats-today-calendar-widget/

Thanks for being the first one to comment. Also thanks for the screenshots. The pink, red, blue and green versions are almost complete. Will try to finish it up latest by tomorrow.
Now that the team is set up, I will be rerouting all of my work. I won't host them on my threads or site anymore, but rather point them to the Team website where even more apps than what I offered are available. We are considering doing versions of our apps with colors but that's on the back burner right now while we get everything fine tuned with the site.. I'll leave my old thread at the bottom of this so you can still have some of my other work but once the site for the team is done, i'll remove my old work.. Thank you to everyone that has been on this journey with me for so long and to those of you that just found me. It has been a blast and having a team set up is going to help me out a lot in many ways.. So go to our site and and our threads and sit back and relax but don't stand up too quickly.... you might BLACK OUT.!
"Welcome to the Dark Side"
Click the quote above to access the site
Team Black Out is made up of some of the best of the best in the industry when it comes to making Blacked Out Apps and Transparent Apps. We decided to team up and release the largest list of Blacked Out Apps available and add to it as often as possible. Our goal is to offer an ongoing list of apps that are updated as soon as possible after the stock app updates by letting just 1 person update it rather than 3-10 of us doing our own thing and ultimately ending up with the same end result.. an Inverted app. So, by doing this, we will be able to branch out and get the list to over 100 apps in time! Many of us have been doing this for over 3 years and some have just began their journey to the Dark Side but we are a team and will work together like a team. The veterans will help train the new-comers how to start from scratch and fully Black Out an app by editing xml lines, drawable images and smali classes files. On the site, we have guides available and will add more of them in time. We announce the Team over a month ago and now the day is here!

T-BOTs are the Team Black Out Testers. When we update an app or start a new one from scratch, we can put anywhere from 20 minutes to 10 hours into 1 app for all of you and then testing that app can take 10-60 minutes and we don't use every app we Black Out so we're bound to miss some hidden things. Well, this is where our Loyal T-BOTs come into play. Once we update an app they get busy looking for issues for us. This gives us more time to be able to update more apps, start new apps or just have some non-android fun. So make sure you thank the T-BOTs when you get blown away from how amazing these apps are!
Obviously this style is the most popular. We don't theme our apps with images but rather Invert the Colors so you'll;ll have Dark backgrounds and Light texts. This is very popular and has become something that many avid Android users have come to thoroughly enjoy this look so we will do our best to give you more of what you love!
Transparent apps have become more popular the last year or so and some members of the Team have been offering them for a while now. Our transparent series of app are called Clear Apps. Being able to see your wallpaper while you';re using your favorite apps is just cool! We still have to update the site with all of our Clear Apps...
Ok kids... click on "Welcome to the Dark Side" at the top and it will take you to our official Team Black Out website! All downloads are hosted there only to keep track of everything. If you've used any of our apps in the past in your Aroma installers or in your ROM, you can still use them. Link back to our SITE wherever you post our content tho. Do not post something in a different forum using our work and then PM us to let us know and hope it's ok with us.... It isn't. Ask first and we'll work with you but ask for forgiveness and we have a problem.

OLD THREAD
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Not too many themers Black Out all these apps so I'll try to keep updated as I can but I also have 3 other threads with different apps in them so if something updates just let me know but don't bug me about it and read through to see if anyone else has already given me the heads up on it.. Thanks. [/font]
These are all installable apps like they're from the market. No Root is needed unless Facebook is in system instead of data. If that's the case and you're rooted, just uninstall it with Titanium BackUp or a Root Explorer of some sort and reboot. Then install mine.
Feel free to use my work without PM'ing me but make sure you give credits. I obviously didn't make these apps from scratch but they're not exactly easy to Invert so even though I'm very helpful and let people use my work, I do make hidden edits in each app somewhere so if you use my work and don't give credit I'll stop updating and everyone will hate you... JK but seriously... Do give proper credit.
On Facebook an FB Messenger I did make 8 new colors but it is TEXT ONLY.. I don't have the time to fully theme them with images so please don't ask me to... Thanks! :tongue2:

It's interesting that the feeds on friend's walls shows up transparent, in the transparent version, but the main feed reverts. Unless it's simply pulling the feed data from the main and applying the universal app settings, or something like that.
Also, one quick note, the text color in the rolling selector blends in quite a bit. The background seems to be an off white while the text is a bright white. Another facebook issue or is this a relatively simple tweak in the apk file?
Peace,
Ray

Hello everyone!
I am a long time XDA user since the days of Windows Mobile skinning, under the name htctoucher. I'm now using the name aBbtdesigns (coming from Blackberry Themeing - see http://bbtdesigns.com) and am starting to create themes for Android!
It's been several years since I was active on XDA Forums, used to love this site, and am looking to get back into it!
I'll be posting some of my themes here, with links to the Market and my site (sig) so you can check out more if you're interested. Please let me know what you think, any requests, etc!
Enjoy!
PS anyone coming from windows mobile?

Your themes are truly amazing.
I did not buy one (i personally find themes that cost more than 1 euro expensive), but the screenshots are way more beautiful than any other skin i 've seen in the market
welcome to Android world! i remember testing themes for you back when i had my Bold 9700, not sure if you remember. ill definitely be having an eye out for your Android works now.

Hey Aftashok! I definitely remember that. Glad to see a friendly face on Android.

I didn't know swiftkey supported themes, do they now?
Are you taking requests? I like how you make themes for both Go SMS & Touchpal so that they can match!
I'm currently using the Dark Swift themes (which match fine) but testing out the Dark Blue themes (which don't match quite correctly).
Can the Touchpal keyboard be changed so that the letters on Touchpal are Black instead of White (to match the SMS chat bubble). Also, the color on Touchpal seems off by a little but, possibly due to the gradiant. Can the Touchpal blue color be made a few shades darker to match the SMS bubble blue color?
Thanks!
ps - tried to email you, but don't know if you check or of it just failed to get there

I'm currently using the Dark Swift themes (which match fine) but testing out the Dark Blue themes (which don't match quite correctly).
Can the Touchpal keyboard be changed so that the letters on Touchpal are Black instead of White (to match the SMS chat bubble). Also, the color on Touchpal seems off by a little but, possibly due to the gradiant. Can the Touchpal blue color be made a few shades darker to match the SMS bubble blue color?
Thanks!
ps - tried to email you, but don't know if you check or of it just failed to get there

Hey polstein!
Glad to hear you're liking the themes!
I just checked it out. I don't think I'll be doing black letters on the keyboard just for visibility issues.
Although I can look into changing the color to white on the SMS bubbles. What do you think?
Funny I never got an email, which address did you send to?
Thanks for the reply!
I sent the mail through the address listed in the Market (ok, the Play Store..grr).
I'm not even sure which theme I'm using at the moment, I've been switching around a lot and still can't decide on a keyboard. Every time I try to stick with one, things jump out that annoy me & I switch to another (then repeat). Touchpal is pretty good, but has some annoyances (and while updates come out regularly, the dev doesn't seem to be responding anywhere).
Mostly, I like having the keyboard & sms match themes. In the case of the Dark Blue theme, the black text on blue looks pretty good in Go SMS, trying to imagine what it would look like on the keyboard (black letters on the blue keys). Could go white text in GO Sms, but might be a small step the wrong way (and upset people using it already). Either way, please don't change just for me - I don't think I'm going to stick with the Dark Blue Touchpal skin, it's just too bright for me.
In general, the ones I tend to like are darker skins with color accents. (Perhaps a version of Dark Blue Touchpal - flipped - so the keys are black and the accent/letters are the blue to match the Dark Blue Go SMS theme?)
Finally, I made a feeble attempt with the theme builder to make a GO Sms theme to match the "Classic" touchpal look (grey keys with black letters and blue accents. I used mspaint to grab the rgb values of the skin & made backrounds & bubbles in Go Sms to match the keyboard.... and it looks like like crap. Somewhere in there, I'd love to see a Go Sms theme to match the Classic Touchpal look. I know you can do a much better job then I can
Thanks for any work you do!
I'll look into doing a classic TouchPal theme. Added to the to-do!
Also to note, nearly all our Go SMS themes are now $1.99!

Hey polstein
I have since rectified the email system.Seems emails were being withheld. All is working now! Email away
Read your post again today and I am wondering if you've checked out the Dark Phone Series. By your description it seems like it would fit perfectly into your request for black keys with blue accent highlights.
It's actually my favorite right now I have it running as I type this message! Have a look and see what you think!
www.a.bbtdesigns.com/dark-phone-series
It's currently available for Go SMS and Go keyboard. Coming soon for Go contacts.
I'm interested to hear what you think!
Best,
Kris
Wow....
This actually looks very nice.
I want to use it now
