I'm looking into it, a screensaver kinda thing.
Think of the possiblities,
Instead of fish you could do human figures in various states of undress depending on the status of the monitored process,
For the prudent or prude you could create an inverse process!
For the medical types you could have hospital beds with patients in various states of health,
For Christmas you could have santa coming closer and closer or getting bigger and bigger depending on status...
The possibility's are infinite!!!!!!

As i mentioned i'm working on a X1 fishpanel lock-app kinda thing for VGA.
But graphics aint my thing.
I have no idea what this panel is about... Can someone post a link pls? Google doesn't know the "fish panel Xperia" words.
I would like to know what the fuss is about and perhaps see if I can do something about it (graphicwise).
Shake phone to add food, cool aint it?. Xperia is never gonna get it since SE skipped the motion sensor.
Light sensor sensetive fish? colorchanging perhaps, or a day and night graphics feature effect.
And the water HAS to be motion sensetive aswell, im thinking about the beerapp.
Check out these video reviews for details on the fish panel:

http://www.gaj-it.com/2143/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1-launched-at-tent-london/
Basically here is a portion of a description from the last review:
"The best panel by far on the Xperia X1 was a panel of 1 black and 2 orange fish that would excitedly swim to wherever you placed your stylus on the screen. Sounds pretty basic and boring, but each fish did have a purpose. If the sound was muted, one of the orange fish would turn clear. If your battery’s getting low, one of the fish starts to turn red, and if you miss a call another fish will turn yellow . While at first the sound of an aquarium in your phone sounds like a waste of an application, the fish do allow you to guage your phone’s settings with just a quick glance at your “aquarium”. If you for some reason really don’t like fish, just give them a tap and they will go nuts."
i want this program 2
a program like this, with the future build in to unlock your phone???
Actually the fish function like this:
place a finger/stylus to the screen and keep it there -> the fish come to it
tap a fish -> it swims away (I know, animal cruelty..)
black fish -> turns to red when battery below 10% (too late to my liking)
skinny orange fish -> turns silver when sound is on mute/vibrate
fat orange fish -> turns to gold when there's an unread message (email or sms/mms)
clown fish -> appears when there's an unanswered call
..the fish have been individually named in the manual also: Japanese style names, like Ryumi etc..
They are actually very cool to show off, in a gimmicky sort of way. Too bad there's no way to alter their behaviour; for example the battery fish could have a broader spectrum of colors (gradually from black to clear/white for example).
When i realese (read if), i will use 3d models, this graphics is just placeholders for now.

Haha, very nice indeed I like them...
so how close are ya?
haha it's a start, keep developing!
I really hope something comes of this. I think it would be great to have a screen saver / locking app that had this ability. Has anyone posted the idea inn the diamond or general software forums?
me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very nice. it would be great to have such screen saver on the raphael.
hahaha amazing start. i would post up in the dev. forums too (more traffic more help lol more recognition)
watching
heyy ya'll
i thought it would be cool is someone could develope a metal gear solid dialer look-a-like.. something like this:
http://news.gotgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/mgs.jpg
off course the text could be replaced with buttons.. it would be that you would see your picture on the right an the picture of the person that is call you on the left..
that would be so freshh
anybody else feeling this? and any developer willing to pick it up?
yeah that would be nice indeed
Would definitly be awesome
has anyone here seen the google uk logo? the one that is composed of multicolored balls that can be disturbed or agitated by the mouse.
google.co.uk
it could be a nice live wallpaper.
-multicolored balls filling up a black screen or a color customizable background
-balls wiggles in place
-can be agitated by touch
-optional:
colors of balls that will appear can be customized
interval for color changing can be adjusted
Saw that earlier awesome isn't it
it would make good a live wallpaper...
and to clear things up it's not only on google UK.
+1 to this. Imagine even if it was simply the word "Google" as we're using Android phones I think that would be quite fitting.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
hoping someone could do this.
The Google logo is back to normal now, I think I could take a stab at this as I am learning Java and my demo paper (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=133197) is relatively similar. Anyone know where to see the Google logo again, I never saw it the other day when it was out, just heard about it.
Just did some thinking and did a proof of concept for myself, made a single dot that reacts to touch... should be easy to make lots of dots do the same and do other things.
here's one from youtube.

just random but goto www.google.com/pacman and click insert coin, great for at school cuz u can just say its google oh and its 2p
So, I have had an awful lot of free time on my hands after getting laid off last week. Thought I would play around with GIMP a little more and custom make some icons. I made these for Folder Organizer icons, but they are 72 x 72 px and can be used for whatever devices support that size icon (I believe HDPI devices only, please correct me if I am wrong). I attached a little pic with all of them together.
Screenshot 1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA1.png
Screenshot 2: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA2.png
The first one is them just lain out so you can get an idea of the size. The second one is used in the medium sized icon format of Launch-X Pro widget. I could not upload them to the site without resizing, and I didn't feel like it. It wouldn't look the same anyway. You should be able to right click --> Open in new tab so you don't have to download them. Hope you all enjoy!
These are really great! Thanks I'll be using them
Cool! I'm glad someone else appreciates them like I do. LoL
Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
Nice work, but is there any chance to get the wallpaper too?
Sorry, you can insert the only original wallpaper of Batman please?
Is beautiful ^_^
Ty very much! like them alot! +1 on wallpaper
nice. Great job, keep it up.
How do I install these, they are AWSOME!
Very Nice . Any chance u can make a Marvel's Avengers set of icons ? Would love too get a hold of that Batman wallpaper too .
I would donate for a set of spiderman icons....both black and red
These are awesome...sorry to hear about he job, slow for me right now too.
Using the scrolling wallpaper
Using the circle scrolling wallpaper, the Batman image and his icons, I came up with this. Nothing fancy, but still pretty cool (to me at least).
*edit*
Here's a better version of the wallpaper with his shoulders not cropped.
original wallpaper is here
Thanks everyone! Feeling the love Here is the wallpaper: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/default_wallpaper.jpg This one is sized 960 x 854, or perfectly for the Droid 1 and is a bit more on center that the one previous posted. As far as how to install the icons, you can use them easily with Folder Organizer (just open the app, pick a folder, tap on the down arrow on the right side and choose Icon), LauncherPro (long press on dock icons and choose custom icon), or you can use Ninjamorph to substitute them for any app icons of your liking. This is assuming they are already on your SD card and unzipped. As far as making more of them...I would LOVE to! I just need a couple of more days as I am doing a ridiculously detailed theme for my phone that I might release at some date. It's not comic themed as I was looking for something a little more for the masses, but it'll be nice. It's weird because I posted these like a couple of weeks ago on 3 different forums and I think I got maybe 4 responses between them so kind of just figured no one cared. Please start listing a few characters you would like to see and I will try to do the most popular ones. I only ask that it be a figure with a somewhat recognizable symbol so it won't take a year to find something that will work. It took me quite awhile to get the Martian Manhunter icon because of that. Anyway, thanks again for the interest and now I know some more people are interested, I will keep a closer eye on this thread.
Hi - Great job! These Icons with the Scrolling Wallpaper "Dock" and the Batman image combined are the best setup I've had since getting my Captivate.
I have one very minor request, though - Anyway to fill in that hole in the Batman icon and repost it? I don't know if it's just me or my set up, but in the middle of the shine, there is a black hole that looks kind of like a bullet hole. You can see it in my screen capture above.
Again, though, it may just be me...
LoL Wow...I never even noticed. It doesn't show up in the pic I put in the original post until you click on it and enlarge it. I'll look into it a little later on today, so stay tuned. I found a little quicker way to do these so I might be putting more out soon. I already have a couple of Venom ones done...
Actually the same pic that I used for the zip, I had in my dropbox too and I don't notice the hole in this one. Weird. Try it and let me know please. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Bats.png
Sweet! Looking forward to it!
Looks like it's still showing up, my man. Sorry!
It's cool. I will whip up another one later on tonight after I finish some school work and watch Modern Family heh. Since I'm making another, any preferences on color?
Has anyone else noticed the watchface usually goes a few pixels offset in always on / standby mode? Its a bit difficult to see in most watch faces, but you can see it shift back to center when you wake it up. Its really noticable when you design a watch face that is the exact size of the screen or have something at the very edge because when it shifts, you get a white boarder or small items at the edge go off the screen. I just want to verify I'm not the only one here. I cant imagine its a hardware issue, but want to make sure before I'm no longer able to exchange it.
Thought I read somewhere it is intentional to stop screen burn in on OLED. All the watch faces apparently do it...

Awesome, thank you for the response. That does make sense and now I'm happy it does it lol. I'll just make sure to design my watch faces with a background larger than the template so when it shifts, there's no white boarder.
I'm just about to buy one. Being doing a lot of reading up. Finally decided between this and the Moto 360!

To each their own, but I'm so happy I bought this over the 360. Just personal preference I guess, but I love it so far and don't think i would like the 360 after getting used to the "always on" feature.
That's the bit I like and why I decided on the LG. Just need to get it signed off by the wife and is all good...
I think the LGGR makes a better choice for a man while the 360 is better for a woman. But let's not forget the ASUS Zenwatch. That's a good looking bit of kit for $200. Once again, IMHO a better choice for the ladies as the lines are somewhat feminine.
The think I like about the LGGR's styling as a man is that it reminds me of a watch an Indycar driver would wear.
The question is what adjustments can we make to watch faces in Facer so they don't look so bad?
Unfortunately, there's probably not much we can do about existing faces. I personally started making mine with a square background image (still round face). That way when it shifts, there no white line bleeding through. Search my username Jaydawgx7 on facerepo and check them out. I'm just getting started with the faces so I'm learning as I go, but I think they've turned out well so far. Hopefully more people start making their backgrounds larger than the circle mask in most templates as this watch gains popularity.

You're right some show white space like this one - http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/colourful-149b2fe3fdd. but the Mickey Mouse doesn't. - http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/mickey-dark-circle-full-1499f5d7a90
But I just realized the first example has a white border around it so maybe removing that in Photoshop will alleviate it.
It's just that some watch faces don't look as bad when they shift and others look horrible so there must be some work around even though it's probably a pain to do.

And I just figured it out. I extracted the images of each face. Both circular images were placed over a square, but the Mickey was a black square and the Rainbow wheel was a white square. Changing the Rainbow one to and all black background fixed it. It still shifts in dim mode, but it's not as noticeable. So it appears that watch faces need to be on a black background in order to compensate for the shift and not look terrible. It's a pain to do, but if you really like a face that has this issue, it's too hard to do.
