I am looking for some icons to use for Circle Launcher and I am having a heck of a time finding some that actually look like I want them too. I am looking for something that looks work and old, but the catch is that is also has to have a bit of a sci-fi look to it as well. I will attach some of the wallpapers that I am using so that way you guys know a little better of what I am talking about. Color isn't really a big deal, I know my way around image editors well enough to change the colors and that's about all I can do with them. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys! I've been around here for a while lurkin on my older phones, but since I got the epic I'm finally coming around to posting. Anyhow, I was bored tonight and no overtime came up this weekend so I made up some docks real quick, since mine was getting stale after a month or two. Hope you guys like em. I'm not a photoshop perfectionist so a few flaws may be present. When they are on the phone with their 75ish % Transparency most flaws disappear anyways. When I briefly checked them all, at a glance they all looked fine. So let me know if anythings messed up in any of them, I just run the blue now myself.
Kinda loosely based on the dreamlyfe docks with the side app drawer, but much wider so the tallmin icons fit in them nicely. In fact they were designed with those icons in mind. Let me know what ya think. Feel free to rape them to peices and create your own and re-post em or whatever
Edit: All have 74% Opaque (26% Transparency) for a nice look, and resized to work well with Portrait/Landscape. Tallmin icons will now be readable in either orientation. Wow didnt realize how ugly it was before fixed.
Can u do one with orange plz? Good job by the way!

sure can
Sure I can, later this evening after work. I mostly just change colors with color range select and color change tool so it makes it pretty easy. If anyone else wants a specific color let me know and ill make it. Just figured these 3 were most popular.
On a side note, if anyone wants the non transparent version of any of them just PM me and ill send it your way. Cheers!
Thank u so much!

I guess I am a complete noob lol, how would I install the dock image? I have no clue and I didnt see any option to do it in the LauncherPro settings. Maybe I missed it or I need to put the file somewhere specific?
Preferences => appearance settings => dock background (let's you choose from your photo gallery)

I only know how to DL onto a PC and then xfer to the SD Card. Right click on the image(dock that you want to DL) from the OP and select save as... , then copy the image/file to your phone/SD Card. Now while at the homescreen in LP hit the menu key>preference>appearance settings>dock background>custom>and then you should be able to scroll to the image in the gallery that it brings up

Bump. Anybody?
Sent from my better built sammy iphone knockoff
I'd use apkmanager to extract the apk, edit or replace images and recompress, sign and install. Or make a metamorph to inject into the beautiful Widgets apk.
Hope it helps.

As I said I already know how to do that part, I'm just no artist and wondering if any one already has or can whip up some for transparency

I am not exactly an artist but I can make things transparent, Is it just those two widgets you are referring to beautiful silent and vibrate widgets?
EDIT: See attachments, is that what you had in mind?
Yea those are the widgets, that is probably perfect. The widgets as they are, are just way too bulky and seem huge on the screen as compared to other icons. Thanks a bunch!

Try Switch Pro (market/ may work for ya)
there are transparent themes for bw in the app itself...
That's great... if I used the full version of BW but alas I don't, I only require the silence and vibrate so I just have the beautiful silent and vibrate app..

Do I need to resize the custom dock and icon images I find on the internet since the Aria's screen res is so much smaller than say the EVO?
If I want to make my own, what are the standard dimensions I should be using for the dock and for icons?
Thanks for everybody's patience and help with me so far. This board has been incredibly helpful. Hopefully, I'll be returning the favor to other new users shortly when I get up to speed myself.
I need to play around with it in PS as far as icons go. I was helping a friend theme his N1 this weekend, and the same icons we found for his I used on my phone... and the pixelate
I am determined to figure it out!

When no one answered here, I decided to just get the sizes from screenshots. I'll repost here if no one has done so when I get the figures.
LOL, I usually only go to the screenshot page. I know if you go to the LauncherPro forum, they have the dock sizes there. Its the icons that are gonna be tricky!

I just meant that I will use a generic screenshot of the HTC Sense UI and measure the height of the dock, and the height/width of the icons and widgets. I would think that should work just fine... right?
Yeah, for the dock... text icons are tricky, that's what I was meaning! I made a simple dock the other day, it was 50h x 320w

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.

Anyone remember this theme purestar alpha? One of my favorite themes. I was wondering if it was possible to port to the one?! I've never tried themeing but I will def try with some help unless an experienced themer wants to take it on.
Not sure if this is the right forum for this but I figured since it's about a theme id put it here. Thanks.

Nice theme! You'd probably need to recreate most of the images yourself due to low res though

You got that right. These new drawable-xxhdpi folders, almost everything has to be resized now even from a lot of the newer themes. I think they come up with all of this new stuff to keep us pulling our hair out...lol.
looks like...
For the main part it looks like the inverted sense theme. With some neon green highlights and green icons... Shouldn't honestly be that hard to be done. If I get some more free time and get tired of dealing with spider man theme for a while, I wouldn't mind whipping that up. the current lock screen no longer has the sense 3/4 ring anymore though. I'll try and get to it sooner than later if possible and will keep you posted.
Haven't looked here in awhile. Thanks for the responses. I'm looking into recreating something similar with more white around the icons fitting for a key lime pie type theme. I think status bar icons and other elements would look great in lime green similar to this theme with a hint of white outlining them and dark backrounds. But I have no experience and I'm just lookin into where I should even begin.
