So I found a theme template that has compatibility for go launcher, adw and launcher pro...after exploring the folders I found what I have found in the few templates for go launcher....i can't find the icons that are specific to the theme...for example in go launcher there is this broom icon for clearing history and in the app drawer on the bottom right and left corners there are buttons for doing stuff. Also there is a whole menu drawer of icons i cant find int he drawable folders for go launcher. How do i get change these icons? I cant find the location of them so i can;t replace them. Do i have to edit the xml?
In another template for go launcher only i was able to find the icons for the menu..but after replacing them they didnt change..as well i couldn;t find the locations of the little broom icon etc...

I'm wondering how i can change some of the systems icons.
I have placed some shortcuts on my homescreen and i want to change the icons for the dialer shortcut, music shortcut, and battery status shortcut.
But how can i do this?
I've downloaded Desktop Visualizer but this doesn't do it how i want i to do it.
And the icons should be 72*72 pixels right?
u need to install REVOLUTUON HD 2.0.3b. that will allow u do everything.
u need programs and icons to modify,
REVOLUTUON HD 2.0.5. thats now
Sounds like Overloaded just wants to change the icons for homescreen shortcuts, rather than change actual system icons (like for notification bar etc).
If this is ture and you just want to change homescreen shortcut icons then try BetterCut, or it's free version AnyCut.
You can find both on the Market or AppBrain.
You will then need to find some icons and put them on a folder on your SD card.
You can get them yourself from the web, find them in the Android Themes section on XDA, or download them in packs from the Market (no need to install these to SD as they install to the phone like an app would).
If you do want to change the proper system icons then do what the other guys said and try a custom ROM
can anybody help me with a guide etc. im trying to create an icon pack for desktop visuliser i have searched a fair bit but still nothing, im currently applying icons by selecting image from the menu, is there any way of creating an icon set so that it shows up in the menu "icon pack" from within desktop vis, also is there a way of putting the packs on the market place?
The only icon packs available are from the developer of the app. If I were you, I'd contact the dev about either finding a work around or maybe send the dev the icons to see if they'd like to package them up for release.
The way you're doing it now is the way it's supposed to be done. I use Desktop Visualizer for different sizing options, but I use Folder Organizer far more. In Folder Organizer (the paid version) you can assign each app its own icon, and then place it on your homescreen as a widget or shortcut.
How would I go on about taking the Icon package from MIUI theme, "Glowbusters" to use on ADW Ex? So that all the images would automatically change the actual app icon in the app-drawer? As well as giving apps without a dedicated image to have the same background+icon style as everything else?
I believe this is it: http://www.miui-dev.com/forums/show...Busters-5.0-TEAM-KOMMINATED-FIXED-TO-KICK-ASS
I'm aware it's for MIUI but all the icons are included in a folder within the archive, I was hoping to use it on Froyo+ADW Ex
Load the images into your gallery,
All the icons you want to change should be on one of your homescreens.
hold the icon you want to change until the mini popup menu comes up.
select edit and then press on the stock icon.
go to gallery and you should be able to select new icon.
I'm about 3 sheets to the wind right now so I really hope that is understandable
Yeah it's understandable, but what I mean is for the icons to automatically apply to the apps in the appdrawer not the icons on my homescreen. Then having it already applied in the appdrawer, if I were to bring those icons to my homescreen the icon would remain as well.
It sounds theme related where I would have to customize an adw-ex theme package or something
Ah, I see... you'd have to get someone to make an ADW theme as far as I believe. I was only on MIUI for about a day but I could've sworn that the icons changed in the drawer on adw... Are you using MIUI? If you still have the captivate, there is a port of it in the cappy forums
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?

Can someone point me in the right direction (or to the right sticky) that will help me with icons. Have download some of blackbearblanc icon packs and want to use them using UCCW, but when i go to image in UCCW i cannot find the icons. If i browse around in file manager i cannot seem to find any reference to the icons either. I have apex launcher if that helps.
Cheers
