Good morning everybody
First of all I am sorry for I do not know where to post such a thread which is related to only theming, if so this is the wrong place I request the moderators to please move it to the correct section. Thank you
With all the flat icon theming going on and themes, Lockscreens & Homscreens being set up based on Google UI I was thinking "Why not have Facebook widget in GOOGLE UI???"
everybody uses Facebook and everyone likes Google ui. I myself recently setup my homescreen by following the "post your home screen shot" thread which lead me to setup my home screen with playbar and motif clock etc but the Facebook widget I use is from Wizz which looked really out of place and thus leading me to this idea of creating a widget theme.
I wanted to try this for myself but I don't know where and how to start though I am pretty sure there are gifted themer's and developers out there who can do better than me.
If so you follow what I am trying to convey, please let me know what you think about it.
Thank you very much
Update:
Here is what my imagination made it look like {illustrative purpose only}
This is my self imagines FB widget not to be mistaken for full FB app

I am pretty sure this is some crap version of google ui i try to made and am sure that someone here can make it look more original and make it into a excellent working theme
Just posting another one for further clarification

We really need a good facebook widget. Android Pro Widgets or Wizz Widgets are good but seem kinda outdated.
Something like Falcon Widget but for Facebook with your design would totaly blow it away!

Thank you very much for the reply
Unfortunately i am neither a developer nor a theme designer.
The code looks like all gibberish to me and makes no sense and i am practically a noob at photoshop and other image editing softwares. All the above that you see was done from a little experience and a lot of google.
But since i think this project holds quite a potential.
I will try to see if i can do something about it
Yeah there needs to be someone who knows how to code, I can't...
Imagine a widget with the performance of Falcon but withyour design and facebook. How great!

i think the title speaks for itself to be honest but basically i find Twidget so useful for keeping up to date with Twitter so i would like to know if a dev out there is interested in making a very similer widget for the Facebook news feed allowing you to view the last 20 items or so and commenting or 'liking' your friends posts.
im willing to donate and even put my hands onto Photoshop if required ,though my skills are rather mediocre
so who's interested?
EDIT: Made some mock ups in PS to add visual ponder to my idea!

Would actually be nice to have a Facebook Widget considering there isn't a native Facebook Application that works well. Would be nice to have a Digg one too
But yeah with Facebook it would be nice to have something akin to Twidget, long as its all secure.
Yup I think this is defiantly needed, the hard thing is doing it in a small place. I mean it'd be nice to have one like the twitter widget on Hero but this would be hard for most users with 3 home screens. And as Neo said we still do need a facebook application that runs smooth also as this hasn't really been addressed yet. I'm hoping you find a developer that will hop on board with this.

im hoping so too, i think it would be a great addition to anyones home screen and especially if it was in the style of Twidget which only takes up 1x4 spaces of home screen real estate and displaying the latest update and then opening up to a larger app when pressed.
widgets are our friends and also our biggest kick in the face to iphone users, a full customisable desktop is one of the things that makes Android so great!
where we can find this widget?

yep
I'm def in, as long as it doesn't bring intense lag or anything it'll be perfect!!!
So, I've been very intrested how the SENSE UI was designed so I decided to give it a whirl and rebuilt it from the original wallpaper.
It took 20 minutes to design the user interface, and here is a basic artist impression. I've been quick reasonable pleased with my results and
hope to continue building up this mockup. If you have ideas, or maybe we could team up and create our own app that fits along the SenseUI!
Ahoy!
[NOTE]: This is designed not an actually application/framework that can be used on your Hero.
//More will follow.
//For design enquries of your own applications, please pm me. For example if you are intrested in hiring me for freelance work then pm me. Thanks.

I would be very interested tu use this UI.
The screenshot does not show a lot but i love it
uhm, all you did was making a rectangle bottom bar, which we've seen already, and the clock got changed a bit? for me the clock is out of proportions, and the rectangular bottom is not my taste, but it is not actually ugly. can you make without that dark veil over it? as if it was the regular homescreen view?
I like what you did there. The font is nice and the shading/colouring is very well done for the sense ui.
Would you be changing the sense ui clock or making your own widget? I only ask because I didn't think we could theme the clock.
I would love to see more of this actually. Here's me hoping you will do something with your idea
Looks great mate, just wondering what the name of the font is?
I love it!
Please make a final version.
you love it??....you didn't even see it whole,just one pic...and even if you did those are only pictures made in photoshop/corel...the guy himself said it's only designed and does not exist
any update on this one

seems like the "dev" has vanished...
FYI - I'm currently working on something similar to this.
really amazing sense ui re-design , i'll be glad to use it
lads, this was never a theme, the OP was just showing you how he would have created rosie, instead of the htc way.
i agree on that one,and i didn't expect to get a skin,just to check if he designed other screens
i cant wait ;( i love it...
An update to this impression will be released within the week. A lot of changes applied and multiple samples of MySensaeUI. Some are a lot more developed then the one I posted 2 weeks ago. Look forward to it
or for everyone.
I downloaded the paperless system ADW theme from the market and i absolutely love it.
the person who designed it only did a few Icons and no widgets.
i wish/would like for most of my icons and widgets to be in this paper theme
i don't care to have the dialer and all of that fully themed, but it'd be sweet to have my music widget and maybe even my power control widget to be themed
just asking I like it maybe other people will like it too.
anyone else ever used this theme, its hot like fiya
this is a SS straight from the DEVS page, i emailed him 2 days ago but he hasn't been back to me

i am doing requests for icons and other widget themes. 50c each icon and 2.50 per widget theme. let me know if your interested.
Try here:

I saw some paper like icons there not real sure they match well, but there is a set called magic marker that might work. Either way, take a gander. As for widgets, not sure about that. Sorry.

I got the url from gomorrah's black mod thread. He used it for his icons. I must say, though, it IS pretty good. Took me awhile to figure out how to use them.
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot froyo on hero action here!
IMO, you could make new icons for it really simply. Just draw them out on paper, scan them, and then cut the icon out and edit it into an icon. If I had a scanner and some decent drawing skills, I'd definitely help you out. But alas, I have no scanner (or drawing skills!)
I would like to start a thread that will consist of example launchers. No, not launcher themes but unique alternative homes that we have not seen yet. For example the kite ui or lifescreen launchers. Here I would like to see what people have designed that they think would make a great alternative launcher. The goal of this is to get everyone involved to create a perfect home replacement.
I do not want this thread to discuss adw nor pro launcher themes or launchers in the market in general since I want this to be new ideas.
How can you make this?

I used fireworks to make this in 15 minutes. This its nothing but making an image with the program so please don't ask about building any launchers until we have a few listed. Above is an example to show kind of what I am looking for. I know it sinks but it is there to get the point across. So hop on photoshop, illustrator, or what ever else and CREATE!
What I will do is try to gather some info for you guys like screen resolution, icons, wallpapers, ect. Right now I am on my phone so it is a but difficult.

(wanted to create a new topic but this came up in search results so if nobody gets interested it'll be tidier)
Would add a link to auto-refreshed current picture (created in google docs ) but, ehh, the eight post limit, please someone repost it with an inpost picture
Someone should clone the new Honeycomb lock screen, though I guess there's little point considering it's probably going to be out next month.

Man, that is slick! care to share any info on it? I'd love to have mine look like that.
I made these awhile ago when I had my Cliq XT, Since I am not a expert at using photoshop nor a graphic artist I'm afraid that the oooohh ahhh factor is not there for most of them, however I think the concept still gets across. I like simple homescreens =]
I used the mod here then modified it to a X'mas theme. Correct me if this is not allowed to be posted here
Anyway, enjoy it!

Just tried this on my hero - looks great, thanks!
Wow this clock is awesome, thanks! I kind of feel stupid paying for Beautiful Widgets or whatever now.
One thing- when the phone is held in landscape mode, the widget has a basic(non-Christmas) theme.
Edit: I extracted the .apk and it looks like you just haven't changed the pictures for clock_add_weather_base.png in the /res/drawable-land and /res/drawable-land-hdpi folders. I'd fix it but I don't know how to compile an apk
Looks a little bit like the LG star clock widget

thanks very nice
Looks nice. thnx
lovely. can you do a normal 3d one as well please?
Awesome looking...nice job!!
I download it and all, i really like it coz its in 3d an dhas that depth from time figurs, trees and the fence BUT its just extreamly disturbing coz its static! it looks like its a screenshot from a original that has animated snow falling over the trees and time :/ its just begging to be animated!
This is a sweet clock, thanks a lot. I want the LG Optimus 2X clock, but this one is pretty "cold".
cant download from that site
please upload it to www.mediafire.com
You can now submit your Fancy Widget clock designs by e-mailing them to the FW developer. He will list them in his FW Clock market. You can submit them by e-mailing them zipped to [email protected]. If you go to his website, anddoes.com, he also has documentation for image sizes for each clock/weather widget.
Excellent work cryshop, but how can I remove the texts (location, temperature) like in your screenshot?

I totally agree with you. I was working on a few skins of my own and was wondering if it would be possible to create an animated base rather than it just being static. If the snow actually did fall in this one, that'd be even more spectacular than it already is.
Excellent job,
