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.

[Q] Can anyone identify this weather widget/power control widget?

This is literally the best home screen that I've ever seen in my life, and I am just dying to have it. I was just wondering if anyone knew what the weather/clock widget was or the power control widget with the 3g/4g/wifi, etc. was as in the name on the market. I thought that the weather widget was Beautiful Widgets but I can't seem to find the skin that matched this and I've browsed through all the skins available for it. Thanks for any help!

Do you have the screenshot?

Best post ever!

It's extended controls with a custom background, and i reckon it's fancy widget, with some random skin.

See that's super ugly.

Yep, its fancy widget small home with the reflection background skin now that I figured it out, and it indeed is extended controls. Well, I guess I figured out how to get it to look exactly like that, thanks for the help everyone!

(APP) "Color My Clock" - Desktop Clock with a Twist

Check out "Color My Clock" in the market.
It's a colorful desk clock and live wallpaper... I made a quick video (you don't have to check my video, but check the app out) only because it looks so good on the Nexus S true black SAMOLED screen.
Enjoy!

These are the Free Color My Clock. Check them out and let me know what you guys think.

cool concept but i need to know the exact time when im looking at a clock, and it'd be time consuming to count the individual dots or to even glance out how many there are. good job though!

Its not my app.. I just thought I share it with the community.
I think its a little different from all the other clocks. It kind of reminds me of the polar clock live wallpaper.

The cool thing that happens is you start to tell time by color. One begins look at a regular digital and change it to this colorful version. People text me that certain times are cool. This is a new method of numbers mainly to teach the young uns. Thanks for the feedback. Props to leyvatron for doing a Color My Clock review on youTube.

[LOCKSCREEN] Windows7 Login Style with variations

My profile Picture is 180x186 pixels. It looks better if you give it slight rounded corners and a border. (Only in the first preview)
Profile Pic was set as the background of an Elixir Widget and the application it linked to was my launcher (or anything that takes you to the homescreen)
The text below it ( "Name, Locked" )was made with minimalistic text.
Layout done with WidgetLocker, so there is lots of room for customization and improvement. I'm also considering doing a slider in the style of the password field in Win7.
Backgrounds are zipped.
Enjoy!

Nice concept.

Great concept, thanks for the idea

Disabling Lockscreen weather notification possible?

I think its crazy that one cannot take the weather widget off the lockscreen. I mean, you can but then the temperature in the taskbar goes away with it or as do all notifications like texts and emails. I think my lockscreen looks like crap with the big ugly box displaying the weather.

There's no weather widget on my lock screen. Are you running a custom ROM?

Gotta love first posters ....
What phone, what variant (carrier) and what ROM (if at all) and /or third party app are you using?
Handy tip - as they say - "more info works best and gets better answers quickly"

Can't seem to post a screenshot of it here but no matter which weather app i download it puts a weathere widget bar on my lockscreen right under the clock. I have a nonrooted n6 from Motorola with a verizon sim in it. No matter which weather app i use they all work the same as in, if you want to display the temperature in your taskbar, it will have that ugly ass widget with it on the lockscreen. Sucks.

If you mean that you're using a notification to show the weather then yes, it will show up on your lock screen. That's how Lollipop works, it shows notifications on the lock screen.
It's not a widget...

Pretty sure this is what he's talking about. Ya, looks kinda ugly, but like they said, its how LP works.
I am sure as more xposed modules are made and released, someone will figure out a way to remove just the box.

Cannot believe a phone as customizable as an n6, one cannot simply drag that feature into a garbage can or something.
