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?
Hi,
I am new to this site and have been looking through all the different themes, but I can't find exactly what I am looking for and I have no idea how to go about making a theme myself. I have searched everywhere for a particular theme, but can't find anything even close, anywhere. Would it be possible to request a theme here? I have an LG Optimus phone. I would like the main color to be a light pink and more of a smooth wallpaper look, rather than a tiled wallpaper. I don't like a cluttered look at all. I really like the "girly skulls" and was hoping to have that be the main theme. Not the real looking skulls, but more of the cutesy girl skulls with big eyes and bows. If anyone can help me, It would be greatly appreciated. Below are some of the skullies that I like to give you an example of what I am talking about. And, I also love peace signs. If that could be incorporated into the theme at all without cluttering up the screen, I would love that!
If I shouldn't have posted this here, I truly apologize. Just let me know so that I can post it in the proper place.
Welcome
Hmmm try the search button I bet its already there
Otherwise make it yourself

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?
Hello world? Y u no replies?
Thanks for making something like this and working so hard on it. As a designer I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the posts guys. I was beginning to worry only zombies were visiting the site. Glad to know people are finding it useful. That's why I work on this kind of thing.
If anyone has any feature requests or suggestions, now's the time, so let me know.

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.

Great site I must say.
I appreciate your efforts on this. Very handy indeed. Easy to navigate, and mobile friendly.
Everybody needs to see this!
Cheers again OP, and I wish you luck and hope that you receive more backing from further Artists in the future.

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?

Please make the site design & logo better.. Will be even better if it's Holo Inspired. Let me know if you need any HTML/CSS help.

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.
Edit: I see the front page has been updated. It looks great. I have updated the article to show this.
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 everyone, This is my first thread so please be considerate without forgetting you can help me correct my mistakes !
Well i have been looking around for a cool Watch_Dogs theme, but the few UCCW skins i have found were different from what i was looking for. So i decided to make one my own, if anyone can make this better is really appreciated. Also share it if you want, its free for everyone.
**the hotspots are not yet placed, so you are free to choose whatever you want**

Watch Dogs UCCW skin
Hi there. I don't know if this thread is actually dead... but I was hoping someone can help me with this project of mine.
I've seen the Watch Dogs ctOS UCCW skin but its been deleted. So I decided to make my own. After a whole day I came up with this (check attatchment). Can anyone help me get it to fit atleast a 4.0" screen without it distorting any text? Or do you think I should do it all in UCCW instead of an Image?
And I know it might look to you that I'm a noob at this... it because I am, but only at UCCW. I'm better at Rainmeter
Wish the app could be ported to work on the Linux based Android platform.
Anyway please help me
Hi, I think it would be better a working widget. Rainmeter is such a nice program, and based on that maybe you should use zooper widget. Maybe you should look for someone might have the apk
Hi,
I was surfing and found some Good Icon Packs By Great Developers. They have designed icons awesomely. As a Beginner, I have One request to them to Make One Guide On Designing Good Icons. In which they should cover Basics and Advance concepts. I have seen many guides to make icons pack for different Launchers like NOVA, GO,APEX,AWD etc. I hope you are understanding what I want to say. So, Its my humble Request For Icons Designers to Make 1 guide For Designing Icons.
Thanks
Reserved for credits In case someone Makes Guide. I am eager for that, please help :crying:
thanks!
Nice guides already exist to create (develop) an icon pack and that's why they are available on XDA Developers. Design is something else and it should post on XDA Designers, right? (even if it could be useful for some XDA members)

I mean it's better to go to special websites containing existing tutorials. You can find awesome tutorials: step-by-step instructions, templates, tips & tricks... and for several softwares.
