Working on Custom Icons/ LP Docks

I've started fooling around with photoshop and started making custom icons and launcher pro docks. Here's a sample of some of the stuff I've made, I just wanted to get some opinions on these (kind of new at this) as I continue working on stuff and post them. Thanks!

I put them on my screen using desktop visualizer (1x1 for the icons 2x1 for voice actions) since just replacing shortcut image makes it look too small (on my screen at least).
+Here's a bonus lp dock (I'll probably be making one to match the icons sometime):
So yeah, any thoughts/critiques on what I've made would be appreciated .
EDIT:
Here's that matching dock

That dock is hot but I am not a fan of the box icons

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll continue to play around with photoshop and see what else I can come up with. Is there something specific about the box icons you don't like (i.e. shape, size, color, etc...) or is it just not your thing? (I decided to make the background around the icon since I was having trouble finding properly sized icon pics to work with -just copied from appbrain) I want to get an idea of what people want and don't want to see.
Thanks!

Just looking for something different than the iphone looking icons. Just not my bag of tea. The icons do look nice though. I really like the color scheme also.

Android 2.3 complete look with Cyanogenmod 7

Many of you unaware that the look of Cyanogenmod 7 doesn't represent the look of Android 2.3, with only the top bar looking like it did in 2.3 the rest is ADWLauncher, So with ADWlauncher ex you can customize the look more, And what i'm after is the remaining 2 things i need.

As you can see the dock isn't really the same as it is in 2.3 so anyone out there with the right file?
Also the drawer icon is low quality, all i need are those 2 items, please help me find them.

Did you try just taking the images directly out of a Gingerbread launcher.apk?
While I'm here, love the use of the new Chrome icon for the browser - would you mind uploading it?
EDIT: After fishing through a Gingerbread launcher.apk, it seems the dock background is actually made of multiple images, since there's no single .png for it. The app drawer icon's an easy find, though. I'll upload the apk for you.

Have you thought of using the gingerbread launcher instead of adw.?

I know what you mean dude, and i agree but also you do get a lot more in the way of customization with ADW...then again there IS a Gingerbread theme on the market for it :S why bother with this?

[Q] Anyone Try UOT?

has anyone tried using uot on the revo yet? my girlfriend has it and I would like to score some points by using UOT to make it more to her liking. But since it is not my phone i feel it might be smart to ask first.
also this might be good for anyone else until the revo gets more themes and what not.

Have not tried it, but it does not look like it would theme everything. For the main areas there are edits that have to be done in the Framework-res.apk and Lge-res.apk. It does not look like there are any edits made to the Lge-res.apk. You can try it though, just make sure you backup before you do in case it does not work you can just revert back.

just tried it ... several of the mods didn't take, only ones i could get to work were the battery, notification background, and the color of the notification text.
I tried changing the lockscreen and various settings for notifications ... it failed
I did this on the new Home-Less ROM, I would imagine the same would happen on Revolt?

well thats something, thanks for trying it. its at least a little bit of customization we can use.

I'm loving that battery. Reminds me of MT's original accurate battery mod.

It worked well on the decrap roms. Can make changes to the aosp lock screen.

Animated Status Bars, Lock Rings, and Other Sense-ables

This is a mod of the Gingeritis animated status bar with a frustrated Sonic the Hedgehog with a white background, making the black text a bit easier to read.

It's built for Sense 2.503.11 (or whatever the newer release number is) and this is only a repack. You may want to check out themikmik to see if they have a universal mod.
Also posting a Grimm Fairy Tales comic book lock ring a little later. Just some stuff I made for personal use in case anyone else wants it.

Please ignore the lock ring kit plug. The only part of the kit being used is the updater-script itself. That kit produced density-specific rings that I was not satisfied with. This issue should be corrected.

[Q]xt860 users, general question

Do you ever find that no matter what rom or theme(gb only) you flash that the signal strength icons stay the same stock moto ones?
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium

Now that you mention it.. yeah. It doesn't look bad or anything though. I haven't ever installed a theme yet, so not sure if this helps...
I got curious and searched my phone for screenshots and found 2 gingerbread-based rom screenshots from my XT860.
Liberty 2.0Gold ROM:

(and I think this is Mavrom4):

Drives me nuts
I think its because gsm uses different signals icons for some reason. Don't know why. I manually change them with ninja morph
I was surprised no one else had every mentioned it. I follow nearly every thread on here

LOL
I'm just happy that the icon (and function) works. Which theme/visual mods are you running right now? And/Or.. which rom? I'd like to see what your setup looks like. I admit, I'm getting a little bored of the standard look.

Looks like the screenshot got compressed and resized. Do you hate that SMS icon as much as I do? Hah.. I may just have to give Mav another shot and play with the themes. Mav4 made my phone warm for the whole 8 hours I had it installed. It bugged me.
