The original MetroStation
I notice, there is a several themes for Metro icons. This is the only one from the original author and this in Windows forum - yankoa.deviantart.com Please respect the rights reserved.

Can we have Sound Toggle icon please. Your work is truly amazing!

I love these Metro-style icons with their slight 3D effect. I'm using them on my homescreen for several month now - mainly for folder icons, but also for a few app icons. I only wish there were some more icons available, as in the "MetroStation" set. Unfortunately I can't use the PSD template to make my own icons, since I don't have the expensive PhotoShop. So I decided to make a similar icon template for the only Graphics software I'm using: Paint Shop Pro 7.0
I tried to come as close as possible to the design of the original MetroDroid icons, but since I don't know exactly how they were made, my icons are looking a bit different. The icons are in PNG format with 256x256 pixels, and they are also a bit larger than the original MetroDroid icons by Yankoa. Most of the symbols I used are from the MetroStation set, others were "googled".
Attached is a preview, some example screenshots, and a ZIP archive containing the icons and the PSP template.

Yeah! Those icons on the shelves, below the Jorte calendar are launchable icons. The icons are embedded into the wallpaper onto the shelves (which are embedded as well).
I have seen in a couple of threads, people asking for tips and tricks (T&T) on how to do this, and it has been explained by kind sharers many times over. Thought I would create this thread for those in need, and keep other threads free from clutter!
For this tutorial, I would be sharing T&T on using ADW Launcher (or ADW Launcher Ex), because that's the only launcher I use, which in my personal opinion is a great launcher. I would sincerely request that other launcher users, like LauncherPro or GoLauncher, to share their details here too, and I will update this post with the relevant launchers.
So here we go.
How to embed shelves and icons?
There are software like photoshop (payable) and GIMP (freeware) which allows you to do editing easily. Shelves (various designs of them!!) can be found at deviantART. Simply use them, open with GIMP, place the shelves at where you want them to be on the wallpaper. Done. Same applies to icons.
How to make them launchable?
For this, we need a transparent icon, which I have attached here. [Please click on it, let xda open it up in preview, and save it from there. Otherwise, right-clicking+save removes the transparent effect.] Save the transparent icon into your sd-card.
1. Go into your launcher, press and hold on the app (for example bar-code scanner) and drag it to the home screen.
2. Place it over the embedded icons.
3. Using the adw launcher options, press and hold on the app icon, on a pop-up dialog, hit the "edit" button.
4. Press the icon, it will ask where you want to get the icons from. Select "Select Pictures" and select "Gallery"
5. Select the transparent icon which you saved in your sd-card. And Done!!
Notice
Sometimes you have different set ups. For mine I have 4 Icons in a row on a shelves, and 2 shelves. Having a 4x4 homescreen doesn't allow me to place the app icons at where I want them to be. So I would need to create more rows and columns for my screens. ADW Settings > UI Settings > Screen Preferences > Desktop Columns or Desktop Rows. Personally I have a 8 columns by 10 rows set up.
I am done here. Once again, fellow alternative launcher users, please PM me or comment here on how you do your stuff! I would be more than happy to update this post with other alternatives.
