Text Icons

Hello all,
As a new user I'm apparently not allowed to post links at all until I'm verified. So that means you'll have to a little leg work to find some things if you're interested.
This is my customized phone. I used the same background in my blog; The icons I made in a roundabout way—Bobbyperux over at Deviantart, made a pretty all inclusive tutorial on how to make them. It even had a video. You'll need to know something about Photoshop and have a tiny bit of patience. I changed the font to futura and the color to white. Except for the android market, ha. Little color never hurt anyone. The phone is rooted, non-market apps are enabled, and I can sync to my itunes with ease. Mac user.
Anywho give it a whirl--the icon pack is called up to date icons.

Id like to change my icon set too. Do you have to be using launcherpro or can u change them on the stock TW?
Thx.

The news widget is called buzz box-- its pretty nifty. You can choose from a ton of sources within the actual widget and it updates the news all day. I don't know how it effects battery life, but my captivate seems to be dealing with it just fine.

Yes, its LauncherPro. On the home screen I used Folder Organizer, as LauncherPro could can only change dock icons.

[LauncherPro Docks] Blue, Green, Red, come check em out!

Hey guys! I've been around here for a while lurkin on my older phones, but since I got the epic I'm finally coming around to posting. Anyhow, I was bored tonight and no overtime came up this weekend so I made up some docks real quick, since mine was getting stale after a month or two. Hope you guys like em. I'm not a photoshop perfectionist so a few flaws may be present. When they are on the phone with their 75ish % Transparency most flaws disappear anyways. When I briefly checked them all, at a glance they all looked fine. So let me know if anythings messed up in any of them, I just run the blue now myself.
Kinda loosely based on the dreamlyfe docks with the side app drawer, but much wider so the tallmin icons fit in them nicely. In fact they were designed with those icons in mind. Let me know what ya think. Feel free to rape them to peices and create your own and re-post em or whatever
Edit: All have 74% Opaque (26% Transparency) for a nice look, and resized to work well with Portrait/Landscape. Tallmin icons will now be readable in either orientation. Wow didnt realize how ugly it was before fixed.

Can u do one with orange plz? Good job by the way!

sure can
Sure I can, later this evening after work. I mostly just change colors with color range select and color change tool so it makes it pretty easy. If anyone else wants a specific color let me know and ill make it. Just figured these 3 were most popular.
On a side note, if anyone wants the non transparent version of any of them just PM me and ill send it your way. Cheers!

Thank u so much!

I guess I am a complete noob lol, how would I install the dock image? I have no clue and I didnt see any option to do it in the LauncherPro settings. Maybe I missed it or I need to put the file somewhere specific?

Preferences => appearance settings => dock background (let's you choose from your photo gallery)

Thanks.... I looked through the menus twice and totally missed that one lol.

Uhhh I have launcher pro...where are the links so I can add this to my Epic 4G...and how do I install it once I have them?...great I Idea by the way...and the black dock with white edges for a black and white themed ROM like Baked Snack would be cool...?

I only know how to DL onto a PC and then xfer to the SD Card. Right click on the image(dock that you want to DL) from the OP and select save as... , then copy the image/file to your phone/SD Card. Now while at the homescreen in LP hit the menu key>preference>appearance settings>dock background>custom>and then you should be able to scroll to the image in the gallery that it brings up

These are great! Can you please create one with white on the top and bottom of the dock? TIA

any way to center the glow so the app drawer looks good in the middle

[Q] Custom dock and icon dimensions?

Do I need to resize the custom dock and icon images I find on the internet since the Aria's screen res is so much smaller than say the EVO?
If I want to make my own, what are the standard dimensions I should be using for the dock and for icons?
Thanks for everybody's patience and help with me so far. This board has been incredibly helpful. Hopefully, I'll be returning the favor to other new users shortly when I get up to speed myself.

I need to play around with it in PS as far as icons go. I was helping a friend theme his N1 this weekend, and the same icons we found for his I used on my phone... and the pixelate
I am determined to figure it out!

When no one answered here, I decided to just get the sizes from screenshots. I'll repost here if no one has done so when I get the figures.

LOL, I usually only go to the screenshot page. I know if you go to the LauncherPro forum, they have the dock sizes there. Its the icons that are gonna be tricky!

I just meant that I will use a generic screenshot of the HTC Sense UI and measure the height of the dock, and the height/width of the icons and widgets. I would think that should work just fine... right?

Yeah, for the dock... text icons are tricky, that's what I was meaning! I made a simple dock the other day, it was 50h x 320w

[Docks] Sense style for LPP, Adw Ex & Go Ex - Multiple colors

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
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.

Which clock? You mean the original HTC fancy widget?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

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.

Lol remember the black and white one like those old school photos but yeah man set the shortcut then set the custom icon and that should work...

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.

Broken Out 2.0 battery display

Any body know how hard it is to change the battery display?
I preferred the display in BO 1.1 and was wondering if I can change just that piece easily?

If you have Rom Toolbox you can use the icon changer. There are a few different battery icons to choose from. I've used some of them on the Revolution. Just be sure to use the ones that have 1 percent increments, not 10 or 20.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium

any way to do it with just taking the file from another ROM and inserting into the current? similar to changing boot animations?

No. You have to edit the framework.apk. if you can get a copy of the framework.apk and the systemui.apk, then you can use uot kitchen. Just search xda and Google to find all the info you need

I was thinking about doing this already. Give me a few days until I have the time and I'll post a flashable zip so you can flash in the old battery icons. Do you have a preference for center or right aligned clock?

Awesome, no I don't. I noticed some people prefer the right align but I couldn't care less. I just really liked the accurate battery circle display from BO1.1 because it was easier for me to read and I liked the way it looked.

I almost have it ready to post, I'm just having a weird issue with the new icons being squished because they are wider than the icons in 2.0. I'm playing with some values, but I should have it posted by tonight.
