Some of people ask me how i made my Instagram Desktop. So I decided to make tutorial how to do that.
This is my Instagram desktop:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In this screenshot i used this apps:
Apex launcher
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
Desktop visualize
Mint button icons
UCCW for count and clock widget
ExtDateWidgetXL for calendar
BeWeather for weather
Circle battery for battery
1. Firs you will need to made wallpaper i will post my psd for wallpaper
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?66pplt9i5a6r6fv
Take screenshot of your instagram profile place picture in that PSD and use Eraser Tool, for delete all stuff except your picture and name
2. I'm using apex launcher with this setup:
Homescreen 9 rows and 5 Columns
3 Screens
Horizontal and Vertical margin NONE
Wallpaper mode Multiple screen (scrolling)
Hide Dock
Hide notification bar
3. Set wallpaper using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from market
FIRST SCREEN
You have Apex page jumps for second, and third page, use transparent icon to hide them
For Count widget (SMS, Calls, E-Mail) i using UCCW 4X1, for that skin is here http://www.mediafire.com/?7v01i37i427snyv
Use desktop visualizer for placing icons on your desktop, you can use any icon pack that you like
For desktop icons on dock use Desktop visualizer with transparent png icon (dock apps are: Appdrawer, Browser, Instagram, Go SMS, Contacts)
SECOND SCREEN
You have Apex page jumps for second, and third page, use transparent icon to hide them
For Count widget (SMS, Calls, E-Mail) i using UCCW 4X1, for that skin is here http://www.mediafire.com/?7v01i37i427snyv
Place widget for clock, date, music, etc on this page
For desktop icons on dock use Desktop visualizer with transparent png icon (dock apps are: Appdrawer, Browser, Instagram, Go SMS, Contacts)
THIRD SCREEN
You have Apex page jumps for second, and first page, use transparent icon to hide them
For Count widget (SMS, Calls, E-Mail) i using UCCW 4X1, for that skin is here http://www.mediafire.com/?7v01i37i427snyv
For weather widget you can use any weather widget that you like
For desktop icons on dock use Desktop visualize with transparent png icon (dock apps are: Appdrawer, Browser, Instagram, Go SMS, Contacts)
Now you can make your own Instagram desktop.
A-MA-ZING !! thx for sharing all this Lesa. JUst one question : where is the page jump option in Apex ??? can't find it...

OK, having just one screen for now that's why the option was not available.
Merci !
i keep getting a "skin deleted" ribbon whenever i try to add the uzip.... was your uzip exported with an older version of UCCW ? also, where can i find the Mint button icons at?
I using latest version of UCCW, try to unzip skin and copy filed on ultimatecustomclockwidget folder
You can finde icons here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32985159
any possible way you could re-export the uzip? cuz i've tried importing the uzip, and just moving the uccw manually, and i keep getting "Skin deleted".... or if not that, give me the font that you used?
Here you go try again with this http://www.mediafire.com/?a6incq6y8sf6a42
Font is default UCCW font.
Same problem here "skin deleted", even after downloading it again, export and extract on the right folder, checking the UCCW version (from october 21)...
I tested skin on my Acer Iconia A100 tablet and same is on tab, i think this is problem with UCCW and galaxy s3.

I've made my own minimal icons to mimic the ones by Ultralinx, but in black.
I thought you guys might want them, I think they look a lot better with themes like Revolution that have very dark status bars.
Two PSD files, a font, and a readme file are included to help you make your own icon.
You need to use desktop visualizer to apply these icons, and use astro to choose the file instead of the gallery, because the background of the previews in the gallery is the same color as the icons and you cant tell which is which

Thanks for sharing!
What's the widget for the time/weather?
Yes, what's the widget ???
Think its Beautiful Widgets, aint it?
Nice work!
Can you post a link to what is used for your notification bar icons? I really like the look of those.
Thanks!
Clock widget is SiMi clock, weather widget is Beautiful widgets.
The notification icons are part of the Ultimate revolution theme for samsung fascinate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830410
What background is that? It looks sweet.

youve got a nice line extension for the simi clock amazing, how did you get that, also how did you manage to completely change the WHOLE home screen? No little dots at the top of the screen showing you what page youre on, no shortcuts on bottom besides the apps, msg, and phne of course, im just confused as to how you got it sooo customized?

Launcher Pro Plus most likely.
It replaces your default launcher and allows you to resize widgets among other things. Find it in the market.
Bump.
Please let us know how you did that screen, I love it.
I think you are using SiMi Clock, Beautiful Widgets and Batt Stat.
What I can't figure out is how you extended the line down, the wallpaper, or the notification bar.
Icons are awesome as well.

Extending the line is done with LauncherPro Plus. It allows you to resize any widget by long pressing and releasing
The notification bar has to be built into the ROM he is using, or is a Morph (search metamorph) that changes files.
that's awesome
thanks!
Can you share the wallpaper please? Thanks!
looks great! good work
Hey guys, ive made myself some custom icons as i wasn't really happy with what was out there. Ive set them up with Desktop Visualizer so they are bigger.
If anyone else is interested id be happy to upload them and share them to the community.
im also in the process of making a hancent theme to match, and the app market
If anyone does end up wanting them and you need a icon i'll make it for you, only if you request it like this
Application name
[image/link to icon]
Colour you would like (if other colours end up being made)
So i guess this is my contribution to the community lol
My home screen setup with them

All the icons i have currently made
Actual size of icons in .psd, so you can have them pretty big on the homescreen if you want.
Thanks.
INSTRUCTIONS
You'll need
- Home Screen replacement adwEX / Launcher Pro ect... ( I use adwEX so ive only tested on that)
- Home screen setup to 10x10
- Desktop Visualizer + config tool (both free in market)
- Folder Organizer (optional)
First setup your home screen to 10x10 and install DVR
Copy all the .pngs to the dvr folder on your sd card
Long Press the home screen and create a dvr config widget, place it in the top left corner and tap on it, set it to 10x10, exit out. Move it to the bottom right tap on it. It will confirm itself. You can delete that widget off the home screen now.
Long Press the home screen and create a DVR widget 2x1 for the size on my home screen or resize the widget 4x2 to have it double the size, or 8x4 for a HUGE one.
Tap on the widget to set it up, under "icon" select image and navigate to the dvr folder and image of choice.
Under action you can choose what you want the widget todo, ie; Launcher an app.
Leave the label blank, and touch effect to whatever colour you like. (im using blue)
When you are done, tap OK and your new icon/widget will be set up.
If you have folder organizer you can setup the app draw icon to link to the app folder via "other/folder organizer link/applications" in the DVR action menu. ( its how i have it setup)

Because I am a big fan of the weather icons in Google Now, I put a quick custom 'Google Now' theme together for Weather Eye and thought I would share.

You can download it here.
To add the theme after you have downloaded the .zip:
Unzip
Move the 'Google Now' folder to /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.citc.weather/Custom Icon Sets/
Apply in Weather Eye
Note: If you already have a Weather Eye widget on your screen, make sure you apply the icon pack to both the App itself and your widget. You can do this by pressing the little blue settings icon in the upper-right of the widget and select the icon set from there, or simply delete and replace the widget and select the icons before confirmation
WOW....so beautiful!
mind sharing the wallpaper and icon also?
awesome !
Thank you

How did you get the search bar and widget backgrounds to match?
This is really nice, looks very crisp with JB
How did you get a forecast plus current on a single line in your bottom widget? BTW really nice icons thanks
I figured I may as well throw this question in here:
I absolutely love Eye in Sky, but I want a different 4x1 widget. The 4x2 widget is essentially what I'm looking for, but without the bottom half. (i.e. just the current conditions, icon of sun, clouds, etc., and city name) I emailed the developer (no response yet) and tried using Apex Launcher to resize the widget, but it didn't work. Any suggestions on how to get the custom widget I want? Thanks, and I apologize for posting in a thread with a slightly different topic.

I'd be interested in this too. My 4x1 widget only has 5-day forecast and I can't see any way if showing current weather alongside the forecast.
Unseenvision? Always on Android? Sounds good!

I love your icon pack and I've been using them for a while, but I noticed a few days ago that they don't match Google search exactly, is it possible to make them exactly like them?

Move them as you like. Add a search bar 6×1 widget (comes on every android phone, there is not an app for it).

Add a Desktop VisualizeR widget in both screens and resize as shown here on the right (to resize a widget longpress on it and click resize). To make it transparent click on it, then click on Select Icon -> Image File and find the transparent.png pic you downloaded from the link on top and select it.

If it does not show up, check your sdcard. But if it does, simply restore it and click Done. Then resize it to fit the gap between weather and “Tap for less infos” label
