Hello everyone! I've been posting some of my screens in the Home Screen Thread, but I've decided to make my own thread with all of my video game themes. I can provide some support for users looking to apply these and I am also looking to start taking some requests! I will update the thread as any changes are made and as I add new themes.
REQUESTS - If you wish to make a request for a specific video game, please do the following:
Request it here or PM me
Tell me which video game you want
Include any ideas of what you are looking for
Screenshots of specific items are appreciated
Keep in mind, it may take me a few days to make the theme as I often have to fiddle around in Photoshop and Zooper. I only get to work in Photoshop when I am not at work, which slows me down a little.
There are also some limitations to what I can or can't do. I will do my best to match your requests and to make it as perfect as possible, but I am only human
Let's get started!
What you will need to make these work:
Nova or another launcher (I am using 12x9 grid in Nova)
Zooper Widget Pro
Basic knowledge of Zooper (in case you need to move things around or adjust hotspots)
Final Fantasy 7 Theme

1) HP shows the time in 24 hour format. The bar becomes full as time passes closer to 2400.
2) MP shows battery life. The bar decreases as battery life goes down.
3) The limit bar shows storage space taken up on memory card. The bar increase as more storage is used.
4) The time bar displays days of the week. As the week progresses, the bar becomes more full (Full on Saturday, empty on Sunday).
5) Calls and Texts will both display the "pointer finger" when there is a missed call or unread text. It goes away when everything is read.
6) Sense is a hotspot that opens the internet browser.
7) Item is a hotspot that opens the App Drawer.
8) Everything on the bottom can be changed to whatever you want. There are rectangle hotspots that can be configured, just change the text to your liking.
9) I do have hotspots setup on HP to open the Alarm/Clock, on MP to open battery usage, on Limit to open Storage and on Time to open the calendar.

Fall 3 Pipboy 3000 Theme
This is composed of 3 widgets, the top, middle (Vault boy) and bottom.
There are tons of hotspots to configure to your liking. Here is a brief overview of what each element is.
PHN, SMS, EML (Phone, SMS and Email). Will show a box around each item when you have missed calls, texts or emails (In this example a call was missed).
HP - Battery life
AP - Day of Month/Days in Month
XP - Time in 24 hour format/2400 (hours in Day)
Vault Boy Widget:
Above his head will show next alarm time (or "Not Set" if no alarm is set)
Progress bars (Top left: Day of week, will get filled as week goes on - Top right: If Alarm is set, it is full, if not it will be empty - Bottom Left: Memory bar showing how much memory is left on SD card - Middle: Battery life bar)
Vault boy Level: Shows date
All of these can get reconfigured in Zooper to show whatever you want, you just need to edit them.
Bottom:
Pretty self explanatory, these are app shortcuts. All of them have pretty large hotspots.
I made a lot of the hotspots pretty big so they are easy to click and there is plenty of hotspot space around the text even if you are not accurate.
Here are the files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pou4b0019wpsavj/4csc1p8EXj

Halo HUD Theme
This one took a while, each one of those lines on the hud (every bend) is an individual layer and it took a lot of patience to get this right.
1) The grenades are missed texts (frag grenade) and calls (plasma grenade). There are hot spots to launch the application you want.
2) The health bar displays battery life and a hotspot is available to launch battery use.
3) The ammo counter displays the hour of the day in military time and the ammo will increase as the day goes on. Once again, hotspot is available.
4) The radar has a hotspot setup to launch maps.
5) "Radio" has a hotspot ready to launch a music app.
6) "Cortana" has a hotspot setup to launch a web browser.
Each of the hotspots are located at the bottom of the layer list with their corresponding name.
There may have been a little more I could do with this one, but it wore me out with all those damn lines. I'm very happy with it.

Zelda Windwaker Theme
For the icons on this theme, you will need an app that can change the image for application. QuickshortcutMaker or Desktop Visualizer should work fine.
1) Heart battery bar (hearts decrease in 10% increments. The heart with the white line will show at 90%, 80%, etc and the empty heart will show at 80%, 70% when the heart with white lines moves to the next heart.)
2) Clock is displayed as a rupee count
3) Quests shows next 2 calendar events
4) When there are unread SMS messages, the bag will display with a rupee in it (right screen shot) and when all are read it will display an empty bag (left screen shot)
5) When there are missed calls, a broken sword will show (right screen shot) and when there are no missed calls a full sword will show (left screen shot)
6) Shield is there to complete the look, does not change
7) Icons are the following apps going from top down to the right (SMS, App Drawer, Facebook, Alarm/Clock, Browser, Banking App, Maps, Phone)

Resident Evil 2 Inventory Screen Theme
This is comprised of 2 widgets. The top widget is the "status" that contains the top nav bar, condition, equip etc. The bottom widget is everything else. The top widget needs to take up about 1/4 of the screen and the bottom widget should be a full screen widget.
Nifty things this widget does:
-The condition changes from Fine to Caution to Danger depending on battery level (below 50% changes to Caution and below 25% changes to Danger).
-The bottom info screen will display the message "Would you like to read your text message? Yes/No" when you have an unread text. There is a hotspot over "Yes" that you can set to launch your SMS app.
-The inventory on the right side can be set to launch whatever apps you want. The herbs are SMS/Calls/Gmail in that order. Unread or missed will display the count.
-Each inventory item is a PNG, so you can set the actual PNG as whatever hotspot you want (I did the film as the camera, herbs are their respective app, gear as settings, the gem as banking and the lighter as the torch)
-The bar at the top has hotspots ready to go for whatever you want to set them as. The last one is a clock.
-The middle info screen displays next 3 calendar events and free RAM and storage. Hotspots are there to launch your apps.
Wallpaper is a blue background, but is needed to complete the look. Wallpaper and files are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vvkqsuip31k2ysg/AACxVfDRS2dCXM_Thfhy3pN0a

There is a really good Super Mario theme floating around here or MyColorScreen somewhere, so I'm going to leave that one alone. However, FF9 sounds like fun. I'll have to look at some Crash Team Racing screen shots and see what I can do. These generally work better with games with inventory screens or expansive menus/customization screens like RPGs.
Updated OP on 5/29/14 with the Assassin's Creed Animus Theme!
Also, I will be on vacation for the next 2 weeks. I'll work on some new stuff when I get back. I'm thinking FF9 as @aldiandrew requested and maybe a Watch Dogs theme.

Couple of notes: I use Calibri font exclusively, so please install by copy & pasting Calibri and Calibri Bold under \windows\font. Also, the main theme goes in \Program Files\Lakeridge\
Also, I included the Icon templates in PSD format for the Home Page Main Apps and the regular icons. If you create some icons, please share them in this thread so others can use them as well, thanks!!
HOME PAGE
The upper left clusters are as follow:
Left vertical bar is battery: Yellow is regular, green is charging
Right vertical orange bar is reception
B square is for Bluetooth: Blue is on. Tapping it toggles it on/off
W square is for Wifi: Green is on. Tapping it toggles it on/off
O square is for online: Orange is on
V square for volume: Yellow is on, red is vibrate, grey is mute. Tapping it brings up volume control
Upper right clock:
Tapping it opens up task manager. May change it to something else (besides clock). What app is the HTC Task manager?
Main app boxes:
Music = Pocket Player
Navi = iGO8
AltTab = TaskFacade
Lock = S2U2
Next appointment:
Tapping it opens up Agenda One, which you can change to your own organizer
Appts Today:
Tapping it upen the agenda page, as seen Post #2
Message Center:
SMS, Email, Missed Calls, Pending Notifications
When the boxes are grey, no notifications
When the boxes are orange, there are notifications
Bottom Text Menus:
Menu opens up WM5NewMenu
Software opens up software dock
System opens up system dock
Contacts opens up contacts dock
Weather Box:
Shows current conditions and temperature, which can be tapped to update weather
Current city can by tapped to bring up visiting city and vice versa
Tapping on the weather pic itself opens up the Full Weather dock
SOFTWARE PAGE
Pretty self-explanatory, although the grid uses Object Grid, so to add, you must be in Author Mode. This is the only way to add those nice custom icons.
Tapping Software again brings up Resco Explorer
The Menu button on the far left is replaced by Home button, which closes the dock
SYSTEM PAGE
The four notification boxes mimic the little squares on the upper left side of the Home menu.
The grid uses Object Grid, so to add, you must be in Author Mode. This is the only way to add those nice custom icons.
Tapping System again brings up control panel
The Menu button on the far left is replaced by Home button, which closes the dock
IMPORTANT! Download the weather icons here: http://rapidshare.com/files/217925270/Concept_Moderne_Weather_Icons.zip
Also, I have found a small error on the weather page. Tomorrow's Forecast is not set right and is actually only reading off Today's Forecast.
Open the full weather page by clicking on the weather pic at the bottom of the Home Page.
Go to Author Mode and hold n' tap Tomorrow's Forecast text. The "Text to display" should read %MultiForecast1%. If yours is not, change it to that. Now your Tomorrow Forecast is going to show tomorrow's forecast.

Sorry, ive gotta dissagree with everyone else here. Its beautiful sure.. but isnt it a bit cluttered? and also it looks like its a tad unconventional and might be difficult to use. But still a very great looking UI
not good

I really like the layout, but I do think you could incorporate more of a color theme to this to glue everything together a bit better. Another item to note is the use of (or lack of) docks.. The homepage has a lot going on which could be solved with a top down swipe to remove some clutter. Music integration with song information would be nice as well.

Can you go more in details in what you are mentioning? I believe I do have a color theme going: white, light grey, dark grey, and orange. Do you see something else otherwise or lacking?
As for the docks, the Software, System, and Contacts button on the bottom open up their own perspective docks. The Agenda and Weather has their own docks. What other docks/features do you propose? What do you consider with the top-down swipe?
Music integration is something I will add later. The only thing is that there is no relatively universal music integration for the main apps out there. I use exclusively Pocket Player, in which I can add the fast forward, rewind, play/pause buttons. Other people wants S2P, Nitrogen, Core Player, or WMP. Perhaps, there's an app that can mimic A2P functions?

It does abit annoy me though that you havn't even mentioned where you got the "inspiration" for this theme from. Atleast credit the original creator.

Sorry, I had this thread in the WAD2 forum, where the original Concept WAD for Omnia was pretty well known. I did update my first post to include that thread: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15005
As you can see, I was inspired by the theme and color palette, but my overall design is very different from the original Concept Omnia version.

Which 2 files are you having problems with? The folder "Concept Moderne" goes under \Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes
The folder "Concept Moderne Images" goes under \Storage Card\Wisbar Advance Desktop\
I posted my remarks in the WAD2 forum, but to keep the xda community informed, here are my remarks: I am so incredibly impressed with your design work, your graphics and the WisBar software. The software alone has opened a new world. My problem is I don’t understand the WisBar programming technique enough to know how or where to “program” it to have the same outcome and appearance as your design would dictate, and frankly I don’t have the time to teach myself. I am a computer hacker so I know a fair amount, but not the intricacies of a new program like WisBar. Can you find time to describe in slightly more detail, in what directories (or even if you have to make new directories) how to make my phone operate as the YouTube demo I watched. I think your knowledge would be a real gift to the community.

Not that I think I will get time to do it, but if there isn't a WVGA version would either of you mind if I had a go as a homage!

After a month in development on my new Acer neoTouch S200 (a.k.a. Acer F1) and many long hours of tweaking and lost sleep, I present Neo's iPhone skin for WVGA phones! If you like this skin, please post your thoughts! Enjoy!

Other Pages:
Landscape Screen:
Features:
- working clock and calendar
- mms, sms, voicemail, missed calls, and unread emails notification just like the iPhone (see red notifier next to SMS above)
- slide to left, right, up and down pages for four extra pages of programs just like the iPhone (you can add more)
- bottom page features a photo contacts page (you can change to shortcut to programs)
- pressed buttons animation (icon shrinks and expands on press and release)
- custom icons for radio, tasks, contacts, file explorer...
- custom leather wallpaper background, additional wallpaper included
Design:
- attention to detail, for instance, shadows for everything!
- skin is simple, intuitive, and elegant.
- entire skin is icons based, because the brain takes longer to process text.
- a simple grid layout for easy access to everything with just "one" look or click! Keep it simple!
- a leather wallpaper to provide texture and class, color theory used throughout the skin!
- too much or too little space, or used incorrectly can mean the difference between nice versus crap!
- no redundancy, for instance, the clock and date are not shown multiple times in the skin!
- everything is finger-friendly, no stylus ever needed!
Installation:
To install, you'll need to install Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 (WAD), and copy the iPhone OS themes into the WAD's theme folder. This was developed and tested on the Acer neoTouch S200 using WAD 2.2 build 1. Was also tested successfully using the latest WAD 2.5. Any questions, please post here and I'll try my best to answer them.
Download:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C45FAWUF
how to install into the phone?
You'll need to install Wisbar Advance Desktop 2.x first. And then find the Wisbar Advance Desktop folder in your programs folder, keep opening the folders until you find the "themes" folder. Then, just copy the "iPhone OS" and "iPhone OS Landscape" files into this themes folder. Now start/run Wisbar Advance Desktop, click and hold until a menu comes up. In that menu there should be a "settings" menu, and in that settings menu, there should be a "change theme" button. Hit that, and then select "iPhone OS" for the portrait theme, and "iPhone OS Landscape" for the landscape theme, click apply, and then you should be all set.
Some links from the buttons to programs might not work for you since I linked them to the programs I use. To point/link the buttons to programs of your choice, go into "auth mode" in WAD and then click and hold down on the button you wish to change, and a menu should come up, select edit script, and then there should be an option to link/launch a program of your choice when you click on the button. Enjoy!
hey download link is not working
Can anyone re upload the file.
the links dead.
I'm happy to see developement on this phone go go go XDA
Anyone know of a way that I can host the file on this forum, if not I'll fix the link later when I get some time, check back, thanks.
Do as follow :
Click here for the larger one. ^^
the file attachments failed because it is a 4.5 meg file, and the site only allows for a small attachment. Anyway, I've re-upped it to megaupload, they don't seem to have a limit, so the download link to megaupload in the original post should be fine now. If anyone runs into any problems, just let me know. Otherwise, please let me know if you like it and from what country you are located, enjoy!

Sorry, no time for a video review. As for the number of pages, if you open "author mode" in Wisbar Advance Desktop, you can create as many pages as you want. I just so happen to pick four because it is the easiest to get to with only one swipe in any direction.
Nice
Very nice! But changing page is a bit slow and also, when you slide page the dock doesn't stay . I have know how to do that the dock doesn't slide with it, but now it's a long time ago ^^".
PS : For some mirrors, here you got some : http://www.jheberg.com/download-CD8118DADDD1-themes.html. Behind the 2 ads, click "Télécharger" And wait 10 seconds .
For me it seems to crash after selecting iphone for portrait and landscape it crashed. I got my default windows theme back. and the top start bar keeps flashing and draining battery. I have an HTC HD2 wich is as well 480x800.
already tried a soft reset and reinstalling the app..
What can i do?
It looks great though on the picture!
EDIT:
When i choose the landscape mode for portrait i see half the skin.. but portrait for portrait doesn't work.
When i uesed bsb tweaks and i turn my phone over the landscape mode works but the shortcuts dont because i have a dutch rom.

Strange, I have it set up so that it stays when you slide/swipe. This can be easily done by going into "auth mode" and pinning the dock, the locking the 4 icons in the dock and pinning the notifiers. Then you should be all set and it will stay when you move between pages. Don't forget to pin from the background to the front, as in pin dock image first, and the notifiers last because the last thing you pin will be at the top. So if you pin the notifiers first, and then the dock, the dock will be on top blocking/hiding the notifiers and icons etc.
As for the slow slide animation, that's strange, I have no issues, pretty fast on mine. Could be processor related, as I'm running on the 1 gig Snapdragon that came with the Acer neoTouch. I don't really know the speed for other machines, as I had only my phone to develop it on. The only thing I can suggest is to go through your Wisbar settings and make sure to check all appropriate settings, and esp at the last tab about "running on low mem mode"... if you haven't unchecked that, then try unchecking it, restarting and see if that helps.

For me it seems to crash after selecting iphone for portrait and landscape it crashed. I got my default windows theme back. and the top start bar keeps flashing and draining battery. I have an HTC HD2 wich is as well 480x800.
already tried a soft reset and reinstalling the app..
What can i do?
It looks great though on the picture!
EDIT:
When i choose the landscape mode for portrait i see half the skin.. but portrait for portrait doesn't work.
When i uesed bsb tweaks and i turn my phone over the landscape mode works but the shortcuts dont because i have a dutch rom.

Hmm, not sure why it is not working for you, the only thing I can suggest, and this would probably be useful for anyone else experiencing any issues, is to try using WisBar Advance Desktop version 2.2 build 1 (the version I developed it on) or try a newer/latest version. I also tested the skin on the newest version, 2.5 or something and that worked fine also. Hopefully that should resolve your problems.
edit, it finally worked! many thanks!!

Glad it worked out for you, hope you enjoy the skin as much as I do! And it is nice to finally get a thanks!!! lol.
Nice Theme.
Just installed and started playing with this on an Omnia i8000. Nice job on it. Took me a little while to find my way in and can't work out how to get the Weather Icon working properly. Does it show updated data like the calender and clock or is it just a fixed icon display. Got most of the other bits linked to Samsungs Programs so that's great. Added in a Settings button to get me to the Settings pages easier. WAD is a good idea as well. Never tried it before and it's an interesting program.
Overall this is my favourite so far and I've been playing with lots of other (SPB Mobile Shell 3.5, PointUI, Samsung Widget Plus and of course TF3D).
Thanks for all your hard work.

I'm glad you enjoy it. I've always found Apple's software/concept/design to be superior to anything else, and Windows hardware likewise. So I always felt the iPhone skin on a Windows phone is the best of both worlds. Being a perfectionist with a graphics and technical background, all that really helped. I had to create, altar a lot of my own graphics for this theme in Photoshop.
Anyway to answer your question. I had the weather thing working, but decided to remove it because it was causing some issues once in a while, might not be a problem for you. You can certainly add it back if you wish by adding a weather item when in auth mode in WAD. If you have any questions, just let me know. It is always good to hear that people enjoy the skin, their thoughts and appreciation, so thanks for posting.
PTP's LauncherPro Docks & Icons
------------------------------------------------------
Here you will find all of my various dock and icon based creations for your Android powered device. I am always looking to come up with a new look for my phone, and now I want to help give your phone a face lift as well. Each dock is designed to work with LauncherPro on most Android handsets. The icons packs also are made to work with LauncherPro unless otherwise stated. They are made to look as good as possible with the known size and dimensions of the icons that LauncherPro uses.
Got A Request? While I do tend to constantly come up with new ideas on my own, I am always on the look out for someone with a good idea. Post in the thread with your idea, or request for a modified version of any dock or icon pack. I am also always on the look for new ideas for the icons themselves. I try to steer clear of random programs, but ones we all use, or phone functions I have not made one for are all on the table.

PTP Dock Pack - Updated 03/07/2011
The Docks
------------------------------------------------------
Cleared Up
At first I was making docks just for me, then I randomly decided to make one to hand out to the masses. This was my creation; a weird blend of what I personally like, and some graphics techniques I hadn't used in ages. For a first round back in the realm of Photoshop, I say not too shabby.

Dock:
Merge
A dock I used for quite some time; Merge was a complete redo of a dock found on the LauncherPro forums. I took the idea and moved the app drawer button to the middle (not a fan of side based ones) and also made the app drawer icon a static part of the dock. Still one of my favorites.
Preview:
Dock:
Encircled
After 'Cleared Up' I wanted to do a simpler less busy dock using the same basic idea and method. Encircled is what came of that goal, and my current dock of choice. Encircled is also the main dock I tested and based my 'Punch-Out' icon pack around.
Preview:
Dock:
Enclosed
After completing my first icon pack, I wanted to make a dock specifficaly for 'Punch-Out' so I took the color scheme of 'Encircled' and made it a solid dock. At first I planned, like 'Encircled', to have a Light and Dark variant, but after testing I found it did not work as well. So I went with a normal style dock, and one with a static app drawer button in the middle.
Preview:
Dock:
Embers
Take one look at my computer and you will see I love text based icons. Embers was an attempted at text based dock that used the icons themselves to add an interesting effect. Sadly I did not at the time know the exact way LP handled icons, and it was a large fail. But both the dock, and the icons ended up turning out alright after some tweaking.
Preview:
Dock:
Flat Grain
After the fail of 'Embers' I had to try again for a good text based dock. This time I went with flat colors, and a more grainy effect. Also the icons created for this dock look almost like they are sliding on a track, an effect I plan to use heavily in the future.
Preview:
Dock:
Real Droids Wear Pink
A quick dock done to work with one of the new colors for 'Punch-Out'. This was a request I did quite quickly as it was my first request.
Preview:
Dock:
Utility
As somewhat of a graphic artist, there are times a good idea (with me often one taken from something I've seen) ends up turning out more like a "what the hell was I thinking?" kind of idea. This is one of those. To be honest I thought it was going well right up until the end. And a cookie to whoever can guess what my real world inspiration was for this And why no icons? None of mine work well with it I would have to make a custom set. If someone is actually interested in this I will. But yea...
Preview:
Dock:
The Clearing
There are tons and tons of these solid color slightly transparent docks out there. I have been avoiding them, but they work great with 'Glassy' icons. I have been using and loving the rounded box one. They are very simple, took no time to make and yet work fairly well. And yes the single small bar at the bottom is an idea I like. Its my odd sense of style.
Preview:
Dock:
Carbon Footprint
What started as me trying to make a half sized dock for 'Glassy' icon pack, turned into this, and I am very happy with its outcome. I have this carbon fiber pattern I never get to use, but love; I also have not gotten to do one of these 3D effect docks. So I put the two together, and got this. In the preview you see a custom wallpaer which extends the look of the dock up, click the link and set it as your wallpaper to get the full effect!!
PTP's Wallpapers For Android
As you can tell its meant to not scroll with your phone. To get this effect on LauncherPro, while on the homescreen, click Menu > Preferences > Appearance Settings then check the box next to the option Disable Wallpaper Scrolling.
Preview:
Dock:
Colors Of Ember
Someone request 'Embers' in a different color, and I admit I had already thought of it. I got a little carried away, so unlike most times, I am making a seperate little area for this one instead of adding it to 'Embers'.
Preview:
Dock:
Tabbed
Quick attempt at a tabbed style dock. I will try and expand on this later as well as more colors for it.
Preview:
Dock:
Transparent
I wanted to make a specific dock for the new Reflected icon pack, and really like the way "The Clearing" docks looked with the text based icons, so I modified the idea of "The Clearing" and added much more detail and a baked in app drawer icon. I was also playing around with rounding the edges, and came up with a unique look i quite like.
Preview:
Dock:
The previews you see above are not taken on a phone. I use a handmade layered .PSD which allows me to change the background, dock, and icons at will simply by copying and pasting new designs in. As such expect the look and feel of each to be slightly different on your device. Each preview is modeled after my Nexus One, and is resized down to 360x600px as to decrease bandwidth usage.

The Icons
------------------------------------------------------
Punch Out Icon Pack - V.3
These icons were made for 'Encircled' & 'Enclosed' docks, but work well with many different dock designs. The icons come in a Dark and Light version, and three different bottom glow colors; the original Blue, Green, Pink & Red. 25 Icons in each color and glow.
All icons are 66x66px
Preview:
File: Punch-Out.Zip
Embers Font Icon Pack - V.2
Made to work with the 'Embers' dock. Font based icon set, full words. Updated to work with my better understanding of how the LP icon's are sized.
All icons are 85x85px
Preview:
File: Embers-Font.Zip
Flat Grain Font Icon Pack
Made to work with the 'Flat Grain' dock. These are a font based icon set, and unlike Embers quite a few are abreviated to make the font a bit bigger on the screen.
All icons are 100x100px
Preview:
File: Flat-Grain-Font.Zip
Glassy Icon Pack
I loved most of the actual symbols in Punch-Out, but really started to fall out of love with its general look, so I remade it. Glassy uses the symbols from Punch-Out as a basis, then I refined almost all of them, and added quite a few new ones bringing the total number of icons in this pack to 35.
All icons are 66x66px
Preview:
File: Flat-Grain-Font.Zip
Reflected Icon Pack
I love text based icons, its what I use on my desktop. I also really liked how I did the "Flat Grain Font" icons. So i took the basic idea of Flat-Grain, got rid of the arrow, and added a reflection. I am currently loving this on my phone and hope you will too.
All icons are 100x52px
Preview:
File: Reflected.Zip
The Icon's look great (the 4 you have so far, and in both colors), looking forward to you actually releasing an icon pack.

lol sadly those aren't my icons. I would love to take credit for 'em. I am still working on the initial icon for my first pack, so the design isn't final. I've got like 3 other docks almost done along with the two you see here (i work better with lots of projects going on at once) so i decided to go ahead and post what I had.
I should have put those weren't mine i guess xD Although I can post that set if you want them.
Please post those icons! They look nice!
Here are the Icons. I don't know where I got them, but its what I currently use. Making my own version inspired by them for my first Icon set.
So anyone actually interested in the docks, or just the icons i happen to be using
Here is a preview of the Icons I'm working on. Using the parts of the icon set you see already for now as a placeholder. Getting the styles and things worked out, then I'll do custom icons inside each one. But that takes a while. This should give you an idea of the first Icon set though.
As you can tell its built for Encircled. I'm doing one for the Dark version as well.
Hi papertreeprophet !! Off topic, what's your clock widget ? Which Beautiful Widget Skin (if BW...) ?
It's the second time i see it today, it drives me crazy i can't find it...

It's SiMi Clock Widget. I actually have BW and used it since I got my phone (you can see the weather at the bottom of the latest screenshot) but once I found SiMi i fell in love with its looks and simplicity.

The new Icons are coming along nicely. I got rid of the placeholder images, and am almost finished. Just a bit more refining and a few more icons to make to start, then I have to do the dark versions. Nearly there!!
Heres a preview of the icons as they are now:
thanks for linking the icons from the original pic, ill probably use those while waiting for your icons to be released.
Well won't be waiting long. Just got the last of the initial batch done. I'm working on exporting everything and creating the zip files and all that jazz.
Also once finished, I will take requests for a few days on new icons to add to the pack anyone might need. I pretty much did the basics and a few specialized ones I use for mine. But any others you might need/want i'll make upon request.
Alright! First set of Icons is finished and uploaded. Get yours now!! I am going to take a smoke break and try and crank out at least one more dock tonight. Maybe one to go with the icons that uses the App Drawer icon I included!

In the Punch-Out Dark Set, the "Punch-Out-Dark_Settings.png" is the "Punch-Out-Dark_Music.png" and there is no Setting-Icon in the Dark Set.
Please can you also make a Setting-Icon for the Dark-Set.
Many thanks

Sorry for the little whoopsie. I was up all night trying to finish these, I was just about expecting at least one mistake
Zip file updated.
Added in the wallpapers section finally. Check second post!
Original post is here (competition post).
I have also posted this in the Vega section, but as a lot of tablets have the exact same screen size (1024x600) and in some cases people are running very similar ROMs, this should work pretty well on other devices too (not tested though!), and in case any tweaking is needed, the PST files I used to create all of this are at the end of the post.. I have drawn heavily in the past from the G-Tab and Toshiba Folio 100 forums for things to use on my Vega, for which I thank you all! So this is hopefully my way of giving a little back
I'm going to keep this as short as possible otherwise it's going to swiftly turn into a wall of text, but here is a brief outline of that I was going for
I wanted a completely "unique" look for my Vega. I've tried basically every launcher/home screen available, and none of them felt right. Honeycomb is in the wild, but until that makes it's way to the Vega in a fast and stable form I wanted something that I enjoyed using day-to-day. So, here is VintageVega:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is an original pack created by me, containing 28 "Objects" and 3 Wallpapers (with a shelf to place some of the objects on) for now. I'm sure that I will add more later. Further down this post you will also find ALL of the PSD files I used to create all of the objects and wallpapers. So if you have Photoshop or GIMP you can edit these yourself to your own liking. You will be able to achieve this entire set up using entirely free applications available on the Android Market, and you will need NO knowledge of advanced tools (such as ADB from the Android SDK). this can all be done directly from your Vega.
To set up VintageVega, you will need the following apps:
ADW.Launcher (I am using ADWLauncher EX but normal ADW should be fine.
Set up your launcher Auto-Stretch icons, and set the grid to 6 Columns and 6 Rows (columns is flexible, but you will probably have to keep the rows at 6 for the shelf). Also I would fix the launcher orientation ot Landscape (VintageVega ONLY works in landscape mode!).
A nice clock widget! I use (and paid for) ShotClocks but you could easily use the free Big Ben Clock or many alternatives on the Market.
SiMi Folder Widget for creating lovely categorized folders on the desktop.
Desktop VisualizeR to place all of the objects in onto your screen
Here are some images of how I have set up my Vega using the VintageVega pack:
This is an EXAMPLE, you can set up VintageVega in any way you like!
Home screen:
Lightswitch on the right opens the app drawer (accross all screens).
clock is a ShotClocks widget.
Portrait on the left (of me and my daughter ) opens the Gallery app.
Cash Register under the portrait opens the Android Market.
Globe opens the browser (Miren Browser for me).
Calendar under the clock opens the Calendar App.
Scrapbook (with stamps) opens the Social Networking SiMi Folder widget (more on that later).
Toolbox opens the Settings menu.
Stack of letters on the shelf opens the Email app.
Office Screen:
The World Map opens Google Maps Application.
Books along the shelf opens Aldiko (but could easily open Kindle App or a SiMi Folder widget with multiple choices).
Newspaper rack opens news reader app (Pulse in my case).
Phone opens Skype.
Entertainment Screen:
Film Projector screen opens SiMi Folder containing BBC iPlayer and YouTube apps.
The 3 portraits along the top open: Angry Birds - Seasons | Angry Birds | Dungeon Defenders (The PST to create your own framed image is linked in the PST pack at the bottom of this post).
The Radio on the bottom right opens the Music App (but again, this could open another SiMi Folder).
The Games along the bottom left open a SiMi folder containing a list of my games, here is an example of how a SiMi Folder set up in this way looks:
Please note, ALL screen shots above have been lowered in quality to make them smaller files, the images are actually MUCH higher resolution than this.
To set up a SiMi Folder Widget:
Open the app Drawer and select SiMi Folder.
Select "Add Folder".
Choose a folder name, and set the folder type to "Apps", then click Save.
Select your newly created folder, and tap on "Applications" on the right.
Add all of your desired applications to the folder.
Click Save, and then exit.
All done!
To add an object to your home screen:
Copy all of the objects images in a folder to your memory card.
Long-press on a blank area of the screen and choose "Widgets" to add a widget.
Select one of the "Desktop VisualizeR" (from now on I will refer to this as DTV) sized widgets (selecting 4x4 gives the best image quality, then you can re-size the widget to the correct size afterwards.
Tap on the newly created DTV widget to open the DTV menu and start configuring your object.
For Icon, select one of the VintageVega Object images from the gallery (or whatever app you chose).
For Action, you can either select "Launch Application" to select a single application, or "Other" to choose a SiMi Folder that you have already set up.
Once you have selected an action, clear the Label field so it is blank.
Change the "Touch Effect" from Orange to "None".
Click OK!
That's it! It seems like a long process, but once you are used to it, you will be adding and moving objects to your hearts desire
Incase that's too hard to follow, here's a quick video that should clear things up
And so, without ANY further waffling... Here are the files
Download the VintageVega Object Pack.
Download the VintageVega Wallpaper Pack.
PST files for those that wish to create their own framed images (or those who are just curious).
Wallpaper PST (Caution, 30mb File!) - High resolution PST file (with shelf) for you to create your own VintageVega wallpapers.
Objects PST - Source files for ALL of the objects included in VintageVega (incase you want to modify any of them yourself). NOTE: The social Icons pack included here was not created by me, it was created by Dawghouse and are free to use.
PLEASE do not repost these as your own work, but feel free to modify and enjoy this as you wish. Please let me know of any problems! And soon I will hopefully post some YouTube vids of this in action and some easy to follow tutorials on YouTube (for those of you who can't follow the written instructions ).
One last note: I specifically designed the wallpaper/shelf on VintageVega to match up with standard Icon sets, such as iDroid so you can actually have those icons sat on the shelf if you wish, and it doesn't look bad to boot
Example:
So if you find that there are objects missing from the pack that you would like, you can always use an icon instead
Add icons in the same way as normal with DTV.
Enjoy!

Hi there! I've made a custom-sized wallpaper for phone devices for you that might work a little better (I based it on the SGS screen dimensions).
I pretty much guessed at the shelf location, so you will have to play with ADW row numbering to get it to fit. If the shelf needs adjusting just let me know (best way would be to post a screenshot) so I can see how much it is out by and fix it!
Zeb
A completely random Twitter Search resulted in me finding this page with a big shoutout for VintageVega! Also, this twitter search show's it had been re-tweeted a whole bunch of times without me even knowing :/
Ah well, nice to see that it's getting out there!
newbe5 / Zebwen
This is brilliant, it deserves much more attention! I don't have a tablet, but if I did I'd definitely try it out! It'll be great to see if more like this come out, it'll reinvent the home screen's capabilities!
Wow, great theme Zebwen, and good job on the instructions. Couldn't have been simpler. I was gonna ask if you had an icon for AB Rio, but it took all of 5 minutes to create one from your icon pack. Now I'm trying to figure a way to include another set of shelves to place objects(icons) on. I know it's possible to edit the books icon, but I'm thinking maybe editing the wallpaper to include a 2nd 1/2 screen shelf. This way I can place icons directly on top of the shelf. With the edited books icon, you can only get so close to an adjacent icon.
Again, great job!.
Tony
In case anyone's interested. An AB Rio icon and an updated AB Seasons icon.

BRILLIANT! These are the first custom Objects I have seen since I released the pack, thanks a lot for doing these! It't nice to see that people are enjoying VintageVega BTW your going to want to save these as PNG24 files to preserve the transparency
When you are done setting it up, would you mind posting a screenshot of your home screen?
Zeb
Here's where I am so far. Still tweaking..
The "test" screen is just used for tweaking.
For some reason the rom I'm on (GHarmony GB) is not allowing for screenshots (Screenshot ER or DDMS) so I just took a couple pics with my Dx. so the quality kinda sucks.

Gtablet, running this rom ---> G-Harmony Gingerbread 2.3.3
Good! Glad to see it is working well on other tablets too. Hopefully starting work on a new theme soon, similar but with a more modern style
For some reason I'm having problems changing wallpapers. When I use the normal method (long press blank area, wallpapers, gallery, select pic) ES freezes up. No biggie, I can still just open a pic in ES, choose "set wallpaper" and chose the wallpaper.
For now, I'm trying to find a good icon for ES (file cabinet, file folder, etc.)
I actually prefer a modern theme. Looking forward to your efforts. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Here's what I got so far for ES Explorer:
I like them! If you manage to finish it off would you mind me re-posting them in the main post?

I was advised a few weeks back that the full sizes of the first versions of these icons - pretty much what's seen in the sample layout below the version pics in this post - are too small when applied using DVR in certain setups. All versions except the pink are up and resized. Also in progress is a DVR TUT, stay tuned. These newly bigger ones look best at a 2 row 1 column ratio, and the DVR option you select for widget size - 2x1, or 4x2, or 6x3 - should be closest to the display size you want in advance. Resizing am icon from 2x1 to a 4x2 will stretch the image, but selecting 4x1 and expanding it 1 row will do the trick for a larger icon. Please let me know if this makes sense
Here's V1.2: grey toned buttons with colored glyphs. Contains the same icons as V1.1R
V2.1R & 2.2R
V4.1, .2, & .3: White, Color, and Smoked Glass
V3 is Monochrome Glass

Please post your screens or links to them - I'd love to see what you've done with the icons
On applying the icons: I use a photo editing program to put the icons on whichever screens I'd like, directly on the wallpaper. Not only can I then space the icons however I please, but this also allows for different wallpapers on different screens.
One of the easiest ways to apply whatever icons you'd like (without a computer, or on your phone) it to use Desktop Visualizr: these icons will come out best at 2 rows wide by 1 tall, depending on your layout. I am in the process of writing a very in depth TUT on doing so for a variety of setups, so please stay tuned Here are the very basics
1. You can save the icon image(s) to your SD card and apply it as a widget anywhere on the screen. 2x1 works best. Long press, choose DVR 2x1, select the image on the prompt, and selection the app/action that corresponds to it.
You can apply the icons to wallpaper via photo editing, then simply use transparent .png pictures to put your shortcuts/apps in the areas over the paper using DVR.
Here are some tutorials and discussions: click, clicky, click, clicky, and click.
If you haven't seen PaulMZ's Windows Phone theme for Android over at Android Forums, his first post gives a huge amount of great info on Desktop Visualzr and image editing for custom icons on your homescreen.
To use different wallpapers on different screens, there are two applications I know of to do this, both free on the market: MultiPicture LiveWallpapers and Super Wall Lite. I prefer Super Wall because it hogs less memory and it MUCH more stable in my experience. Please ignore the bad ratings: those were given by users who were not informed about how to apply the super paper: you must access the app via the 'Live Wallpapers' setting on your phone; the same is true for MultiPicture.
There is another benefit in using 'panoramic papers' of Super Wall- that is, one extra wide paper styled to use on mutliple screens. In MultiPicture, however, you must apply one paper to each screen. Since I am always changing screens, and can often be testing icons and themes on 7 screens at one, I prefer the ease of Super Wall in just making one big paper to span all the screens.
If you aren't familiar with a lot of image editing practice, I am glad to apply the icons to a paper of your selection - just post the paper and which icons you'd like applied, along with your phone's resolution/model and your layoud grid for columns and rows.
If you like what I have done and would like to show your gratitude, Leo is pretty hungry...

Blank tiles for applying live info to are in the the post below and included in each set above (9/22).
Draft of Instructions for Live Tiles: more info/screens soon.
The font closest to what I used in the V1 icons is Jersey M54- click here to download from DaFont.
The font for the serif tiles is DejaVu Serif Condensed.
The best way to make 'live' tiles, frankly, is to apply the icons to your wallpaper, then put whatever text widgets you'd like on top. You can put the icon down as a widget using Desktop Visualizer then apply another text widget on top if your home launcher supports 'overlapping widgets' during customization. This will work...or it won't. Often, people say it works until the phone is rebooted - then presto, chango, the widgets are unstacked.
I am sure that some of you have mastered 'make your own widgets' like Chronotopia or M-clock, and can then use the icon as the backdrop with the desired text on top - I hope to give these or other similar apps a try in the near future, but I myself find it preferable just to mess with the wallpaper
There are blank email, gmail, call, sms, calendar and clock icons enclosed within all versions.
I have used SMS unreadcount mods on all the tiles- the easiest way is to apply the icons to your paper, then put a transparent icon for the SMS unreadcount bubble. I have done the same with ADW Ex notification bubbles, using ADW Ex to make the icon for the gmail/phone/sms icon a blank image over the top of the paper. I am glad to help out with this process

Sorry, I was just updating the thread with another color scheme and instructions.
Basically they icons are:
1. png's to apply to your wallpaper in a photo editor - put them wherever you want, then use transparent icons/shortcuts/widgets on top - a lot of people use Desktop VisualizR to do that.
2. Apply with Desktop VisualizR using the images as the actual widgets; you can use any image to as a widget/shortcut. This limits the size of the icon to whatever your grid layout is for you screen. So if your grid is a vageuly squarish setup - like 4 columns by 6 rows - then the image would be resized to fit in this space. That means you're somewhat restricted on how closely you can place icons/images together, and where they can go on your screen. That's why I personally use method 1.
3. Also, some home launchers (like ADW) will let you replace default icons with your own images. This has the same restrictions as 2.
I promise to do a step-by-step and link TUTs for this by tomorrow with screen shots.
In the meantime, I am happy to apply the icons to a wallpaper of your choice if you are familiar with using Desktop VisualizR- that allows you to put transparent shortcuts on top for anything you want. I would need your paper, grid layout, and phone model/resolution.
Come back soon for more, sorry for the delay MP
