All functioning and even the screen orientation icons make sense now.
Thanks to icons mostly from here:

and some extra ones from me
Tenius.zip contains an alternative Today plug-in button...drop "today.bmp" into Main Memory\Program Files\VITO\Winterface\skins\bin
Realize weather icons from oscarbum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3032867&postcount=24
[UPDATE] Added neon weather icons to neon.zip file (adapted from original Vito icons)
[UPDATE] See post #59 for extra Neon icons in a dll file. They can be used by calling them in a .lnk file as described elsewhere in this forum.
Briefly, you make a txt file and the syntax would be, for instance:
81#"\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe"?\Storage Card\My_icons.dll,-20
where the number 20 is the icon index in the dll file. I've also attached in post #59 a png file showing the icon index number for all of the icons in the dll file.
Best of luck

Great, thank you!

That's funny. I've been working on a new theme for WAD2 using this set and it didn't occur to me to use it for WF. Nice work.

Amazing Work! Thanks

For me, THE best skin for winterface... great job, and thanks for sharing

Posted the various links for WF themes here on xda-devs...
...at blog.iwindowsmobile.com
and the moderators keep removing them.
I wonder why :-/

i think they still see skinning as hacking. but then what do they expect if they don't offer alternative themes themselves? even though the software is pretty good, many people won't buy it because of the oppressive look of the UI.
people want a constant theme running through their whole device and application UI, or they want to be able to tweak things to their satisfaction
*more people will buy the software*
hope someone from Vito reads this.

i love it man vito/iwindows should allow open skins for this it makes it more attractive...and i was think (maybe its too ipone-ish but) they should lock the bottom bar and allow us to put our most used apps/settings/contax etc there just a thought but im addin this new skin to the collection

Great! Thanx friend!

thanks for all. I like it. I love the VITO Interface but now it has a very very good look and beautiful colors...
Thanks a lot...

Just for a laugh...
...some hand-drawn icons added to first post

nice, nice... thanxx man

Nice, thanks dave

If you ever decide to do another Winterface theme...
Here's some things I've found that might save you some time....
1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Another theme
Here's one I threw together this morning. (Are we nearing the point of simply having a Winterface theme thread?)
I don't know if I've posted the weather icons before but it goes well with the realize theme.

Although I think it does use this icon if your default calendar app is not the standard Windows one. One way of working is to have your appointments shown on S2U2 as you unlock and use a better calendar such as Thumbcal as standard
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
That's another ton of work I have to do :-(
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
Mine neither, but I figured that's because I dono't use the standard calculator
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
Yes, the plain one opens Bluetooth settings
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
I thought the very same thing this morning. My upcoming theme will change this icon as well
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Should be able to post another here in a day or so, depending on whether I take on the buttons and the weather icons as well!
Good work and thanks for the tips

well i notice the slide to unlock image (lock) is messed up. also, there are pink dots on bottom left and right of bluetooth icon.
other than that they're amazing. thanks for the icons.

we are also waiting your last theme with realize icons,oscarbum.
thank you both.

is anyone else having this issue.. it's also noticed when i move icons around and when one icon goes over another, it has parts of the icon that is transparent and that's how the lock looks when it appears. this is vga supported, right? i have touch pro.

Yes, I think that's the messed up lock icon that was mentioned
on another note though, I can' get the contact pictures to work if I change any of the contact icons as you said oscarbum.
I've tried changing the two in black.bmp and the one in icons.bmp in every combination and it doesn't work.
The pictures need to work in three places in the theme:
When you view you contacts ready to dial
When you select the contact to bring up details
When you add a contact.
There is no combination of changed icons (all identical) that works.

ADWLauncher help

Hiya guys & girls!
The latest update to ADWLauncher has made me sad They have replaced the Nexus one style button for the App draw with there own icon. I much perfured the nexus one look.
I've spent most of last night (Much to the disaproval of my other half) trying to find a theme that still includes the old style 'row of dots' icon.
So my question is does anyone know of a theme that still has the old style or knows of an icon pack that still includes it?
Thank you in advance!

Well, makes me sad if you spent most of last night, trying to find a theme that still includes the old style...
Fix in 5 seconds:
"If you want the old icon design, download this to your phone and select it as icon when creating your custom shortcut."

[Icons][WIP] Social Icon Pack (based on Symbian Anna)

We (myself and energizerpanda) are proud to present you an icon pack (150 x 150 px) based on Symbian Anna. Some of the icons were taken from a system dump, and some of them were self-made.
The current pack has several icons, but feel free to post which icons do you miss, and we will try to create them.
Changelog:
05/07/11 - First release !
17/07/11 - Added icons for: Evernote, eBook Reader, Winamp, Cozi, Pocket Informant, Waze, Folder Organizer
Screenshot:
Download link: http://db.tt/EeusEUe
Don't forget to express your opinion !

Looks great, gonna check them out when I get home from work!

Very nice icon pack! I searched the theme you based it on & downloaded those as well. Going through them to see which I'd use normally & which more important (to me) ones are missing.
Going to use some generics now (generic Twitter instead of Plume), but can you provide icons for:
eBook Reader (I use 3 readers, so anything you'd like for now)
Cozi (attaching image)
Pocket Informant
Waze
Since I don't see good generics for them. Very happy to add these to my icon collection since I tend to change icons every few months!
Edit: Regarding attachments, please use the the 3 little loops tings on Cozi (not the text), and likewise the little car for Waze. Actually, for Waze, may be better modeling off the icon I see on the appbrain page (http://www.appbrain.com/app/waze:-community-gps-navigation/com.waze)

We will update the pack as soon as they're done.

Sorry but how do I install these?

Copy the icons to your phone and download Desktop Visualizer from the market.

Thanks for sharing

Here are the requested icons by polstein.
I tested them on my phone and they look fine.
For the moment I can't add them to the pack but you will get them soon enough!

How can i resize them to 72x72(HDPI) without losing its quality ?

A number of different ways. Most common as mentioned is Desktop Visualizer. That's a widget that lets you pick an app/shortcut & use a custom icon. It also has an advantage that you can have it point to an generically named icon - then you can replace the icon, reboot & DV will show the new image. Very useful if you change icons every couple of months for fun!
(also why you might see me on several threads requesting the same icons over & over again
An easier way might be to use an app called Folder Organizer, which also allows you to change icons & text labels.
Advanced people can modify the apk of the install & change the icon, but has some drawbacks that go along with it. But it's also the only way I know of to change an icon everywhere (like in recent apps lists).
--
I see the new icons I asked for, they look very nice. I especially like the textured background on Informant. How many icons did you want to crank out? I always hate overloading designers, but if you're willing I'll keep handing out requests!

Keep on requesting. Don't forget to thank energizerpanda for his hard work. I am only with the organization and researching.

@polstein - You can edit the post and remove them from your list.

Updated with new icons. Check first post for download links.

Looking good, downloading now!

can someone please make an lp pack out of these?
thanks for the hard work, always loved the anna icons

@cavihit - We're working on making a LauncherPro pack but we have to add more icons.
Latest icons:
Please help me with your opinion about these icons because I need to know if I can add them to the pack.

Icons look good! So far the only one I'm not thrilled with is Waze (more because of their cartoony look that doesn't match the rest of the set).
Something I noticed last night when I replaced some of the generic icons in favor of the correct app icon: Some of the original generics look better anyway!
F'instance, I was using the 'carhome' icon instead of Waze, but I think I'm switching back to carhome.
Another example is generic Music vs Winamp (currently on Winamp). Still another is Calendar vs Informant (currently using Calendar!)
Now in a couple cases I needed the specific app (like Cozi, and there wasn't an eBook one).
Of course, best of all worlds for me is to have options & change them when the mood strikes

I'm making every icon for its specific app. (If you use the Calendar app then you should use the generic icon found in the pack)
I hope you all understand that I try to create icons that are not in the pack and not to replace the generic icons. (Only if requested)
@polstein - Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm gonna post new icons when finished so please test them and reply!

Go Launcher EX theme - Menu background issue

Hello there guys, not long ago I've started fighting against this Go Theme's Factory application to get my first theme done and I'm having some issues which I'll describe you, and I hope you can give me a hand with
1) No matter what home menu background I choose, those little lines separating each icon won't dissapear.
http*//postimage*org/image/pfr3r1iup/
Does anyone have any idea on how to eliminate those white lines?
2) And about the theme's icons, I've seen many Go Launcher EX themes that contain several custom icons on the icon selection list that do NOT refer to any application or apk. For example, some themes contain more than 1 icon for the browser so you can choose the one that you like most. So the question is: How do I add custom icons to my Go Launcher EX's icon selection list that do not refer to a specific application (apk) ? In other words, what I want is to be able to add a custom browser icon to the icon selection list, without having to refer 'that' icon to the browser application or apk.
Thank you very much for your time and patience while reading this!!!

Making a Nook-styled icon set - requests?

I know this probably makes me something of an outlier, but I've discovered playing around with different apps and icon themes on my NST, I actually really like the look of the default B&N app icons - they've got a really nice minimalism to them that even my favorite minimalist icon themes don't. So I decided I'd add to the set, and see if anyone else had ideas/requests for what to add. Current plans:
-redraws of the existing ones (as most are buried in the apps and can't be used elsewhere - also, they look awful on upscale)
-mail icon
-internet icon
-chat-bubble icon
-Android market icon
-filesystem icon
-terminal icon

I agree that the nook icons are better but I lack the skills to make similar ones for my apps.
Well, this is what I have on my launcher 7 (which I find is perfect for an e-ink screen with some tweaking).
Everything else you pretty much covered.
-Google news feed
-PDF reader
-A tools folder filled with useful tools
Great idea by the way. Thanks!

I'll see what I can do! Swapping to Launcher 7 on my NST is actually what inspired it - I wanted to use the default Library app icon but oh god, it looks so awful on a launcher tile because of how small the original image is.

I'm definitely interested in this!
I use perfectviewer and mango if you want any more ideas for icons.
I would say any general manga/comic looking icon would work.
