Hey guys I'm sorry if I'm a noob for asking this, but how exactly are you guys creating these sick icons and docks. I have downloaded some icons and docks to my phone which were posted on xda, but either icons are too small, the dock doesn't show up or I loose tranparency once I start editing in paint. Lol I'm so confused. I have launcherpro plus btw. Some help in the form of a full tutorial would be greatly appreciated!

Well as for losing transparency when editing, You cannot use paint to edit. You have to use photoshop, it keeps the transparency whereas when you use paint it creates a white background automatically.
an alternative to photoshop is paint.net, its free and more or less has the same toolset and heaps of plugins.
I'm looking for icons I once found on here, but unfortunately lost the zip. I'm fairly certain the font in the icons is comfortaa, and the icons are just lower case letters. No actual pictures. I think it was called minimal or something?
I looked through the 500 icon set thread but I couldn't find them
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
MNML icons? Check DeviantArt.

Nah, that's not it. The icons are just text.

Hello. I was bored today working on a Graphic Design project and decided to take a small break to make some Sense style docks. They should work in Launcher Pro, Adw Ex and Go Launcher Ex.
The zip is not flash-able. Just extract the png files to your sdcard somewhere and select the images like you would normally for custom docks in your launcher.
There is also a blank png file included in the zip, to make the buttons transparent over the dock if needed.
I have tested most of these in Go Launcher Ex, but some may be a little rough around the edges because I haven't tested them all.
If I get more time I will try and make some more.
Thank you..... I been looking everywhere and couldn't find anything like this is it possible to make transparent one? Or a wood one? Or a pearl white one?

No problem. I may eventually add some more later. If I can figure out how to theme the clock I'll add some clock skins. I am not too good with the programming end if things though and it may take some code.

Which clock? You mean the original HTC fancy widget?

Fancy widget or Beautiful widgets. I think there are templates for the skins on those.

Have you tried setting the icon you want to the black wallpaper that comes in the dock package? Or after setting the transparent icon did you restart your launcher?

Yea I put a transparent gif icon file in the first zip file I believe. Let me know if that isn't working. Set your dock shortcuts then use it as the custom icon for each so the dock shows through but the app is still there.
I'll see if I can make some more docks soon.

Heya, Thanks for these dock bars, been looking for something like this for ages!
Not sure if it's still allowed to ask, but is it possible to make them with these icons (left/right, but then proper) as well? -->
Much thanks <3
I have been away for a bit. I'll see what I can come up with.

Hi everybody
I use the Shiny Boxes icons for my desktop but since the pack is no longer updated, I need some additional icons that fit with the rest of the pack. I've attached the template psd. I hope someone will help with icons for these apps:

Hi, coming from the sgs2 and had the accuweather widget that matched the digital clock... a dark transparent background but not clear. There's a thread for clear weather widget and I asked the Dev to make a dark transparent version but it hasn't been touched. Could someone that is much more talented than me cook one up? Thanks guys! I love XDA!!!!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Maybe, you can try the weatherbug widget. It has an option to change the widget background to a black/grey color which matched up with my other dark translucent widgets. Good luck!
Thanks for the recommendation but I'm pretty inlove with the accuweather... anybody??? I have $10 donation for you if so!
