I posted this Idea on PPCgeeks and was told to better post it here since all the GREAT developpers are here.
What would be really cool, if some developer would mod/tweak the weather tab or the weather on home screen with women animation for sene 2.1 and 2.5.
Example:
1-Sunny - an animated swimming suit model
2-Cold - a animated women with white coat on
3-Windy - animated Marilyn Monroe with her signature pic, flying white dress
I think that would be nice and an extreme hit.
Clever idea.
Not a developer, but most of the weather apps simply use a different numbered .png file for each condition. It would be fairly easy to replace them with static images of different woman pictures. The animation may be a bit trickier...
hahaha... I like the idea
Great idea. i hope it will be done some day=)
Most of the work for this would be more graphical and skinning then actual software development.
So i moved this thread.

You're so right ! people want skin and very graphic descriptions
I can help with the image editing if anyone can tell me details on what would need to be done
Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about it, but you could ask HERE or even track down and ask directly the 2 users who made the mods you can find in post 5 of that thread. Just read a few pages back from the end.

well can be done with towolfs 3d weather... it uses the swf file for the animation so you need to make appropriate swf file and change it....
wow~i like this idea!! this is so cool
looking forward for this
Woah...
This is an awesome idea, and I can't WAIT until this is done. I'll def be following this thread. Let's make it happen.
and maybe a version for those of us that like the boy types?
I bought the app through paypal and it listed a bunch of cool widgets. The only new widget I have is the people widget which was the last one I was interested in. So anyway has anyone else purchased pro plus and if so did you get the widgets in the apk? where are the rest of them? I thought the widgets were why it was "plus"...

People widget is the only one released so far. By buying it now, you got in at a low price and helped the dev. They'll probably raise the price once the other widgets are ready, but you'll of course get them with a free upgrade since you've purchased it already.
Seriously, why open a new thread when you can just ask in the original thread? We'd be happy to answer your questions there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682764
Yupe, no need open new thread for it, seriously.
Anyway did you read before you purchase?
In 1st release of LauncherPro Plus v0.7.0 only have one - People.
A new widget is added - Bookmarks on version 0.7.1.0.
Others widget will only be added in coming future.
It was clearly stated that people would be the first widget, and the others will follow.
thanks for the helpful replies. the search function on my phone still doesnt work after the xda design overhaul so i did what i could to get the info myself (I promise you I've been around here long enough to understand that there are plenty of you sitting on the edge of your chair in your mom's basement, refreshing your screen every 15 seconds, peering through your watering eyes, desperately searching, yearning even, for a reason to get your feelings hurt). Anyway I searched on google which didnt answer my question then i flipped through a few pages of the forum but didnt find anything. I admit I am nowhere near as skilled as scouring the internet as many of you and for that I apologize.
And no I didnt read everything when i bought it, i generally dont read the consumer info of anything that i purchase that costs $3, and I wasnt complaining about it just inquiring. And believe it or not, I didnt open the thread as a jab at anyone personally. Some of you guys really need girlfriends. Or boyfriends maybe, i dont care.

IconDatabase.net is a community-driven collection of free icons. You can search by name, set, artist, style, or app, making it easy to find exactly what you're looking for. Any registered user can add icons and help maintain the site, so it should stay fresh and up to date as the community grows.
Current Features
Artist database
Icon set database
Icon database
App database
See similar icons for the same app
Filter icons by name, app, artist, set, color , or license
Registered users can add content
Donation system to help give back to artists
Under heavy construction
I'm just getting started on this project (only a week in so far), but the goal is to grow it into the best and easiest place to find icons. Let me know if anything's broken, doesn't make sense, is missing, or anything else for that matter. I want to get as much feedback as soon as possible so I can make sure the site's useful for both artists and users alike.
Planned features
Discussion boards
Rating system
Favorites/bookmarking system
.. much more ...
Community Building and Management
Aside from being able to upload new content, registered users can comment on just about anything. I'll also be adding discussion boards soon(ish). All of this means there's great potential for community discussion, interaction, and collaboration. It also means there may be a lot to monitor to make sure people aren't abusing the site. I'll be looking for moderators to help keep an eye on things. Please let me know if this is something you might be interested in doing.
Adding Icon Sets
I'm in the process of adding as many icon sets as possible. I've written an automated system to upload icon sets in bulk, so let me know if you have an icon set you would like me to add. Please include a preview picture, URL of the set's home page, and a link to download the icons.
Many icon sets have threads here on XDA, and people often contribute icons not made by the original set's author. It's harder for me to upload those since I can't do them mass like the full set. I could use help adding individual user-contributed icons. Just be sure to create an artist page for the poster if one doesn't exist already.
Adding Artists
Artists work hard on their icons, so it is very important to give them credit and link back to their profiles. In order to do this, please help create artist pages (must be registered on the site) as you add icons to the site. Be sure to include the URL of their main profile page. Each artist page will display a little about the artist, as well as their latest icon sets and individual icons.
If you are an artist, be sure to create a page for yourself (must be registered on the site) so that you can manage your page's content. If there is already a page for you on the site for your work, let me know so I can set you as its author and give you access to change it.
Adding Apps
One of the great things about IconDatabase.net is that you can easily see and filter all of the available icons for specific apps. Part of setting this up is specifying what app(s) each icon belongs to. I'm doing my best to figure out a decent automated system to handle this, but in the meantime, I could use help with editing icons and adding the app(s) they belong to. If you do not see an app listed on the site, feel free to add it (must be registered on the site.) Just be sure to use the "add an icon" link once the page is created to add the official icon.
In conclusion ...
Let me know if you have any questions or requests. The site is definitely in its early stages, and I will be adding features and info pages based on your feedback.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure it's time for a bit of an update.
Since my initial post, I've figured out how to automate a lot of things, which has allowed me to start populating a lot of the content (i.e. upload sh--tons on icons!). As of this post, IconsDatabase.net lists 43 different sets, for a total of 16,000+ icons! I'm adding more each day.
You can now follow the latest icon sets added to the site via RSS.
I'm also starting to dive into Android development, and will look at building an app to easily select icons from a launcher for quick theming.
Looking forward to getting people's thoughts.
Another quick progress report...
I've added basic discussion boards to the site. That's by no means the most important feature, but I figured I'd get a little community interaction going, or at least the potential for it.
You can also subscribe to pages now to receive emails when they are updated or a new comment is posted. This should be especially useful for artists that want to be instantly notified of comments posted to their page or icon sets.
I may add a "request an icon" to the site soon(ish), whereby you could directly request icons for a specific app in an icon set and the artist could review the most requested apps to know what to work on next. I could also use this to generate a global "most requested apps" page so artists know what to start with for new sets.
Thoughts?

Good to know it's appreciated by designers. I've created an artist page for you here, and features your sets here, here, and here. If you care to register on the site, I'll make you the owner of those pages so you can make any changes. You can also subscribe to any of them to get email notifications when they are modified or comments are added.

Nah, everything's linked to BBB's Tumblr blog. The icons I have on the site are also mirrored, so there won't be additional bandwidth on his Dropbox account. That reminds me ... I need to add the rest of his sets.

Yeah, if it's not mobile friendly, then it would kind of defeat the purpose. It should be even more friendly within the next few months as I learn my Android programming and develop the companion app. Then all you'll have to do is select the app and browse to the icon you want when editing launcher icons.
New Ideas (need feedback)
I'm playing around with a new new ideas, and would like to know how people feel about them, and which features you would like to see implemented first.
Ratings
I'll probably be adding a 1-5 star rating system for artists, icon sets, and icons. This should be pretty easy. You'll also be able to sort things by rating.
My Apps
I'm thinking of letting people flag apps that they use. This way you could see a quick list of all your favorite apps.
Personal Custom Sets
Say you like the Gmail icon from one set, but you like the Shazam icon from another. Personal Custom Sets would let you combine icons into a single set.
Download Launcher Icon Packs
This would let you download auto-generated launcher packs and apks for easy installation on your phone. You could do this for official icon sets, or for personal custom sets (described above.)
Thoughts?

Thanks for taking the time to let me know in what order you'd like to see features implemented.
I'm sure I'll be able to figure out the icon pack structure, but if you want to send some code (or links to tutorials) my way, it'd save me the 60 or seconds of searching I'd have to do.
I agree that the site's design is horribly lacking. I'm a programmer, and am not very good at design. What I need most is design mockups (PSDs for example) that I can translate into the site's template. I like the idea of a Holo color scheme. If anyone wants to take a crack at a design, I'd be most grateful, and would of course give them credit in the site's footer.
P.S. DSaif, I take it those three icon sets you uploaded are actually icon backgrounds that style existing icons?

Apex Launcher Tutorial (the same will work for Nova Launcher)
I want to contribute to the site's design.
Yes, they're just backgrounds which automatically theme every icon. It's called iconback & iconupon feature. I took that approach because it's hard to theme every icon and users are not satisfied. I'll start making special icons for home screen soon. Will take Holo Icons and style them.

Thanks for the tutorial link. I'll check it out.
I'd love to see what you come up with for site design. I want to keep the basic layout I've got now, so the main thing I need help with is choosing colors and figuring out how best to style things like input elements, accent colors, etc. If you want to throw up a couple mockups I'd appreciate it, and once we settle on something, having the CSS already done in snippets I can paste doesn't hurt. Thanks for your interest in this.

Yes, I think something like that would be much better. One of my friends who I showed the site too was so confused and lost as to the front page setup.

great idea
this site is a great idea, thank you for setting it up!
Is it possible to help upload new sets? I would be great to include the "Prada 3.0" icons from here:

I've created an easy(ish) method of uploading sets, but as of now it involves FTPing things and directly modifying a script I wrote. I'll push it into a proper module for the site at some point. Until then, I''ll just keep upping things as fast as I can.
I'll add the icons you requested.
Hey iv started messing arround with watchstyler. So far im enjoying makiing my own watch faces, The one thing i was wondering is if there is anyway to add new styles for the digital or analog. As in adding more hands then the stock one the app comes with. We can add wallpapers but nothing else that iv been able to see. Another thing is you cant change the size of the stock digital clock choices you can place em anywhere on the screen but you can shrink them. Would have been a useful options a few times so far.
Read the forums.. For cryin out loud man....
Search!!
Edit: Sorry for reacting like this but it gets really annoying people do not search just starting threads. Making this forum cluttered like crazy....
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
lol there a massive thread with loads of faces
Press thx if i help you
Ok there seems to be some confusion about what im asking. Im not talking about wallpapers. Im talking about adding different needles for the analog clocks, different fonts with adjustable size for the digital clocks, more battery styles other then the stock ones that come with watchstyler. You can add wallpapers but none of the other stuff other then the custom ones that come with watchstyler. And i did do a search on this subject but only found posts about already made watch facias byt that i mean needles/times ,battery status. The reason im asking for this is because i recently tried using a wallpaper that i had to ditch because none of the custom needles or digital numbers that come preloaded in watchstyle could fit anywhere on the wallpaper without looking like they were just in the wrong spot i would have needed something a bit smaller or an options to at least adjust the size of the preloaded ones would have been nice. Again no posts on any of these subject was to be found. I'm kinda wondering how come no one has come accross this problem before. So it would be nice to be able to add more needles, more digital clock fonts, just more options to make even more facias then just the preloaded settings with infinite wallpaper possiblities.
Edit: Ok after looking at quite a few threads i did find mentions on how to add needles and whatnot. Having to use photoshop to mod existing needles opr create new ones altogether. Not exactly everyone is a graphic expert but its a start and the post was not about my problem so unless i searched for specific terms like watchstyler and photoshop i rly would not have found anything witch was the case for me. I stumbled on the info i needed. In the future instead of assuming that everyone who post didnt search realise that we dont all share a single hive mind and sometimes if you dont search a specific word combination you just dont get the results your looking for. Like in this case it didnt occure to me to search for photoshop in conjunction with watchstyler. So my searches didnt yield any results. Anyways if anyone knows of any other sources to get custom needles and whatnot plz let me know im not a graphic inclined person. Thx

I understand where you are coming from on the Search. Hard to find sometimes and I haven't been on forums in anything for years. I have started to read the first 3 to 4 pages of similar posts first before asking something that might have been answered, but even then it sometimes has. Have fun piecing new watch faces together. I downloaded some of the ones from others, but went back to stock to put my kids or father's pic as the wallpaper background, since it is the Holidays, and I get all sappy : )
