Hello Everyone I was looking through the Launcher 7 icon set at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978615
and i saw that there arent any music themed icons. so i decided to make a new forum focused on music icons for launcher 7.
if you want me to make you one feel free to tell me. in this post i will put the first couple icons i made. i'll later make more 1x1 and possibly 2x1
and 1x2. ill also probly take the top artist on vevo and put them in this post. [EDIT] I did.

Hi
Is there a way to make the Background of Widgets transparent? E.g. Fancy Widget.
There is a thread with a number a widgets and a tutorial on how to make the widgets transparent yourself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796399
Check it out. The thread owner takes requests and I've been really satisfied with the Apps I've tried so far.
hey
Big thanks, will try it out.
Wrong post
ok, i've tried a fair few but only 'open home' so far can offer transparent labels/text for both icons & folders.
anyone know of any others that do this? i just want text-free home screens.
many thanks.
apes
should have said, need 7 screens & customisable folder icons.
cyanogenmod roms can add shortcuts with no text to home, but the launcher with all apps will show text. I dont know any with such a function
If you want a nice launcher try zune home, i love it.
ps edit posts, dont double post.
adw + folder organiser combined manages it.
ok re double post, almost as bad as a post that adds no value.

I looked around and basically just couldn't find a good honeycomb theme anywhere from what I saw so I decided to take matters into my own hands...I do like honeybread for CM7...but it was just not exactly what I was looking for. So I'm running on the ADW Launcher EX so anyone can have the exact same setup with no problems at all. The Apps+ icon in the top right I made with the SiMi Folder widget with a custom pic icon...the clock in the bottom right is the One More Clock widget from the market. My messenger/calendar/gmail widgets are all from the Pure Messenger and Pure Calendar widgets from the market. The bottom left icon I made with desktop visualizer and just have it linked to my current browser. The analog clock is obviously the Honeycomb clock FREE from the market. If you go into the ADW settings you just change the screen transition effect to Effect 1 to get the nice honeycomb like scrolling effect. I have gestures setup so when you swipe up on the home screen it pulls up the app drawer and if you swipe down it pulls down the notification bar...this way I can still use them w/o it ruining the honeycomb look. I also added the circle batter widget into the mix in the bottom left. My home screen is setup for constant landscape orientation and 10 wide by 7 high icon space...this was made this way just to make the icons and stuff where I wanted them too. You can't really use all of this space because the widgets overlap and it just makes it a pain so I don't recommend it. The other thing you have to do is download the free honeycomb theme on the market for adw...this is just to get the google widget that I am using. Also you'll want to download the honeycomb wallpapers app from the market...this is where I got my wallpaper from cuz it just looks the best in landscape...the one that comes with the theme just isn't that good if you ask me...both apps are made by the same developer. Anyways...here are some pics...I'm running this on my OG Droid with the MIUI ROM on it...hope you all enjoy. Just click on the pictures to look at them bigger and get a better idea of how it looks...I added them to this originally with them already full but the preview was cutting off the right side of the pictures and I just didn't want to chance it...please tell me what you think.

hahaha...sorry man...i figured everyone would just look at the pics and if they liked then in order to get it all the same they will have to read it all anyways...wasn't really worried about what format all the information was in...the only thing that doesn't have anything to do with the setup is the first sentence of why i made this
so how did you get the honeycomb status bar?
i like it
but i hate how its landscape
\
ill make it more "portate friendly" if you can share the icons/theme elements

yeah the landscape makes it a little bit of a pain to use at times so i can understand not liking it that way...luckily you can make it portrait...just might take some tweaking...i've added a list of the apps/widgets that i used so that you can easily find them on the market...i would add links to app brain or something but i can't add links on here cuz i dont' have enough posts yet.
I'll also add the 2 custom icons i made for this...they aren't the greatest and i'm sure you could find better but it's what i'm using...there are only 2 custom icons...the apps+ in the top right and the icon in the lower left. I'll add them right away.

there really is no status bar...the bottom right is the One More Clock widget and the bottom left is just a desktop visualizer widget and the circle battery widget...the original status bar i have still in tact...just have to swipe down and it pulls it up.
Also for everyone else i've added 2 more pictures that are the custom icons that you need to make it just like this or even to make it in portrait view...just click to blow it up and then right click/save as in order to keep the icon see through and not white in areas

If you're using the xda app, I usually have to use jpg files. Make sure shootme is set to take jpg pictures instead of PNG. Just open up the app and press menu -> preferrences.
squid try what blu3poptart said with the jpeg thing and see if that works...only thing is the 2 icon files i attached to this are both png files...so idk...i don't use the xda app to post anything...so maybe that is your problem like he says

looks good dude...this is a good alternative for people that like portrait...not too sure what exactly i would change with it...i think it does need the google search widget somewhere to make it look more honeycombish...other than that i really have no idea what to add/change...haha

Hi,
in the last few months I really start to like the theme with a static wallpaper (or multi wallpaper) where there is just everything and you use uccw/transparent icon on the phone.
I'm then having problem because often is hard to understand where a widget will be really positioned or is hard to put an icon in the right position (maybe you want to add a counter to it and the counter is not matching the icon in the wallpaper).
I'm using nova launcher (not sure why I choosed that, apex was a little bit laggy scrolling wallpaper and...ss launcher I didn't know about it but right now I love it but because I purchased nova, let's keep nova).
What I'm then wondering is if there are template with line where you can exactly understand where the grid of nova are (7x7, 6x7 and so on) or if someone has some suggestion on how to do that.
I already tried to just craete a pics in photoshop with the resolution of the htc one x and splitting it in 7x7 grid but, not sure why, my grid isn't matching the real grid of the nova homescreen (maybe because there is no notification bar on the top?? don't know).
Any suggesiton or premaded template around (tried to google it but without any good result).
Thanks,
Massimiliano
I do the same thing for my homescreen setups. Icons on wallpaper, etc. What you are going to want to do is create all the settings you want on nova. The grid, hide notification bar if that's what you want (it will change the size of spacing in the grid) then put an icon in every space. Preferably a square icon. Take a screenshot, and import it into Photoshop. Create a new action (Google "Photoshop actions") and create guides around every one of your icons. Save the action as the name of the grid size you were using in nova so its easy to remember for later. Then go to the wallpaper you were planning on using and run the action. The guides you made in the previous document will show up and you can use that to format where your Widgets/icons will go.
If you're still confused I could make a little video tutorial tomorrow if you'd like.

Me 2 trieing to make 3 homescreen wallpaper with "no icons" (blank png above icons on wallpaper). I perfectly understand what u trying to say and i think this is the way to do it but i got a problem. I can use guidelines as action for positioning but wall res (which i do in photoshop) is 1440x1280 and screenshot is 540x960. So cant get that accurate position even with guidlines... So my screenshot is little "zoomed in" when i put it in photoshop. Should i "level" it back by manual expand till my eye thinks its good or? Any suggestion?
Hi mates, have anyone of you eclipse template for Nova Launcher?

Fair warning: I'm extremely anal about icons, so yeah.
I can't stand ugly icons on my home screen and in general. One my biggest gripes about any non-OxygenOS UI's is the fact that you can't customise your icons. Third party launchers don't play well with Android's native gestures (though using Good Lock's Task Changer fixes it) and doesn't allow for two different displays on our phones. And since FNG doesn't work well at all with the Z Fold 2 - I was forced to use OneUI with native gestures.
Hex_ theming allows for different icons, but you're stuck with the specific theme's icons which doesn't allow for diversity at all. Not to mention, certain icons (such as Chase Bank's, and Dunkin Donuts') are blurry and look dreadful. Hex is perfect to change the quick setting colour and status bar icons, so I highly recommend everyone look into it if you're looking to theme your quick settings/status bar. However, for those that are extremely picky about icons - it may not be the best.
However, I came across this app that looked interesting, it's called Shortcut Maker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker&hl=en_US&gl=US
It's a free app so feel free to play with it. But what it allows for is creating a 1x1 widget that when you click on, you can launch an app, do a specific command, etc., and it looks like the creator is adding more functionality. You can add these 1x1 widgets into folders and the dock too. You can also choose the size of the icon, the shape, and you can even select your desired icon from icon packs from the Play Store! Watch it action in the video below.
One thing that I absolutely love about OneUI is the beautiful animations when you swipe up to go home. The animation, fluidity, and the way the icon actually wiggles a little bit looks amazing. When I first created a widget with Shortcut Maker, I saw that the swipe home didn't do the animation, much to my dismay. I thought that it's fine, and a smaller price to pay to not look at ugly icons. But then I decided to add the default icon in one of my folders and try to swipe - 'lo and behold, the animation is there. When you do swipe home, it does go into the folder with the app, but it still looks great. I highly recommend it for those that enjoy custom icons and don't mind spending quite a bit of time perhaps redoing their apps.

would be good to be able to create an icon for launcher folder (not the file folder!) where you can put apps icons. That would be an ultimate customizer.

Not a bad idea at all! I think you can leave it as a comment on the Play Store and the developer may look into it. The app isn't crazy popular and being flooded with comments so the developer can actually read them and respond.
