Hi.
I hope this thread is placed in the right forum, otherwise please feel free to move it.
As the scope of my application is no longer limited to just SDCards, I think it is time for a new icon.
Unfortunately, I do not have a good idea how it should look like or what content it should have.
Currently the app looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see the icon (in the upper left corner) is showing a SDCard right now.
Here are some first drafts of new icons. I'm not happy with both of them so far. But I would like to show them to you, maybe you have an idea to improve one of these concepts.
The first one:
Somehow I like the pictogram style, but somehow it does not work for me. I will try to play with different colors... maybe if I use the blue of the original icon it will look better.
The second one:
Does not work for me as well.
What is your feeling about it?
Maybe you have a complete different idea!?
If you want to see the app in real life, ehe download link for the beta version can be found here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116580417241372596615/116580417241372596615/posts/EzjdP1h3Lqg
If you prefer to discuss on Google+ regarding the new icons, here is the related G+ post: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116580417241372596615/116580417241372596615/posts/JBejt368gy8
Thanks in advanced
How about this?
Two icons easily found on icon host sites joined together.

does anybody have a simple battery plugin for my tilt?
here is a screen shot...

is there a program that makes it look like this...or something close to it?..i need the time to remain where it is....and if not the battery icon on the same long...how about a seperate line under the date
Unlike many on this forum I do not wish to be, but please forgive me if I sound rude. In the time it took to write the post, screen capture, draw the diagram etc you could have found a couple of different battery indicators by simply searching. The forum gets mighty crowded with all of these questions that can be very easily avoided.
Anyways, to answer your question, I use battery indicator found in QuickMenu, which looks a lot like LordSmiffs battery indicator, and SPB PocketPlus...they are all bars above the time. Furthermore, there are a plethora of today plugins that you can configure to show only the battery and then just move it up/down in your taskbar.
Heres a good starting point for cabs to install and various purposes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319468 (LordSmiff's is in there somewhere in the first post) also check out battery status today plugin there (screenshots http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm#Themes)
I'm talking about the colored squares behind the application icons on samsung devices.

MIUI Mod ROM's have almost this exact same look and app drawer scrolls to the sides, iPhone style.
You can find varius flavors of them in the Nexus One Android Development forum here at XDA.
I use ADW EX and it has the option to add something like that.
You can change the color of the box
Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll try em both out. I like that on the Samsung it chooses the color based on the icon. It's more aesthetically pleasing to my eye.
Anymore suggestions are welcome.

You can get the touchwiz launcher here. I'm not sure how up to date it is or if it'll even work with GB but it's only an apk and can be uninstalled easily.
Alright, I've changed this before but I just can't remember how...
I have a page that is full of contacts that I access most often. I just recently changed the picture of a contact and, in order to update the pic on the contact shortcut that I made, I had to erase the old shortcut and add a new one after updating the contact pic. When I did this, however, it added a different type of contact icon than what I have set as all the others.
Here's a pic:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, the contact icon in the top middle is completely different than the rest. They used to all pop up like that but I've been able to change it in the past.
I'm running CM7 with Luncher Pro if that helps. I just want all the icons to look the same and I don't like the style that has popped up on there (I believe it's the default Android icon).
Any help is MUCH appreciated!
I'd also like to note that nothing else on my phone has changed since updating to CM7 several months ago and adding Launcher Pro....I was able to create all of the other contact shortcut icons with exactly the same phone setup as I still have.
I modified some of the already available softkeys to my liking. Someone asked for them on deviantart so I'm posting them here as well. They are white on transparent back 80x80 and I use AOKP ROM Control to apply colors over it..not sure how it is on other ROM's but I'd imagine its the same.
Theres 6 images in the ZIP file. It's just a zip file NOT CWM flashable. I don't know how to make those if someone wants to do it by all means do so and let me know I'll put it in the OP.

Thank you sir ^^
Fo sheezy :cyclops:
Thanks
One thing though; that arrow is a little pixelated. Don't know if it'll show on-screen, but it was the first thing i noticed.
Sorry about late response! The pixels don't show up when you use the soft keys. I thought of the exact same thing when I was making them because it came like that...but its too tiny to see the jagged edges. Should be fine..
Hello everyone, Im not sure if this thread is in the correct area so please (Mods) move this if you have to.
Lets begin, I want to provide myself to you guys (devs) icon design service free of charge for xposed module ONLY.
Reason: No offense but when I browse the xposed module repository some of the great modules you guys create have no icon design and they look ugly, I would like to provide myself as an aid to fix this issue.
I want to be able to see more modules with great icons that way when im searching for an app in my nova app drawer it doesn't look so dull.
If you havent looked around online I used to do a lot of free work for devs, Ive done mainly icons but also logos and some UI design..
anyway moral of this thread is If you are creating a xposed module and need a custom yet simple icon for your module please reply below and I will PM you! or vice versa
