Ive been learning how to do my own PS type work and have come up with a couple sets of glossy button icons with text. So far ive only been a consumer in the Android world and thought it was time to offer a little something should anyone be interested.
The two zip files contain 43 button icons each. One set is a glossy carbon look while the other has a carbon fiber infield with red boarded text. Both sets are .PNG files and if you have any software which will open them feel free to make some more and or change anything you wish. I made these from scratch based upon a tutorial I found on the internet and from hear on place them in the public domain so have at them.
Here are a couple screen of then on my phone. I havent fine tuned the background but you can get the idea of how they look. Using Virtual Desktop you can scale them to any size you wish as well as link them to whatever application your prefer.
Seems im too new here to attach photobucket images.
thanks very nice work.. will look good on my DINC...
Very nice work, you earn my respect, I can just dream of something like this made by me...
Hope those who have DLed these icon buttons have liked them. Im a bit of a noob at the PS aspect of things and noticed that if I were to export the icons they will retain the same qualities yet are substantially reduced in file size. Example being one of them went from 55KB to 9KB and the zip files were 1/10th of what i offered originally. So, if you feel like it grab another set and lessen the load on your CPU.
Im working on a set of small normal size icons that match and offer system setting functions so check back in a day or so.
Added a set of matching smaller icons to the original post list. They are a little larger than normal sized icons and fit 5 across on a Droidx. Remember you can adjust the number of columns and rows in LP to best suit your layout needs.
I guess a word on what to do with all of these...
Use LP Plus allows you to resize all that you add. Download "Desktop Visualizer" from the market and install. You will find DV when you long press for widgets on the home screen.
Ive been using the 3x1 for the larger buttons but found the 2x1 works as well. For the smaller icons use the 1x1 (not the first listed 1x1ss). Once you have them extracted to a folder all you need to copy the folder to your SD card. Ive been putting them in the DCIM/Camera folder. Then when you have chosen the icon size to use you simply browse to the image and then select a function.
Some of the smaller icons need to be associated with an event rather than an application. Instead of tapping Application, choose Other and then "Activities". A new list of options become available to map the icon to whatever you want. Just take a little time and read the smaller print listed under the activity. Some of the display and sound related items are found in the Settings folder.
Ive also found that DLing an app called "Blocco" (free @ Market) and a few of their plug-ins are useful as well. There are plug-ins for Airplane mode and wifi toggle etc. If what you selected doesnt work just drag it to the trash and take another stab. I figured it out so you should be able to as well.
Added the psd file for both types of the carbon button icons. Feel free to make your own by using photo shop or similar software. Just edit the text, reposition it if needed and export the new image. Exporting the image will reduce the file size a lot and help with phone performance.
Included buttons say Market

First of all....VERY nice work. Nice and clean. Second..I downloaded the .psd zip and when I opened it, I didn't find the .psd....only the market.png files (one red and one black). I assume this was an accident, but I wanted to make an icon for TapaTalk. So far your one of the very few that have done TechBuzz and I thank you for that. If you would be so kind to either verify the .psd file and re upload it or make a TapaTalk icon, I would be very greatful. Thank You.

These look sick! Do you mind if I use some of these in my theme? I might alter them a little to match. Good job!
no problem, do as you will. I put them here for anyone who can use them.

Hi again ...
I "modified" this application for my personal use with the intention of integrating the sense interface style.
You Can Create labels with a long home shortcuts click on your Android home with sense interface, you can set your labels, save and import settings, change icons (sense original an other icons) to the labels, set bookmarks, multilanguage support, and more.
I hope you like it and enjoy

Nice app man! Thanks for this, it's really useful.
Good job, and thanks for the great app!
It looks very nice!
Will give it a shot
Good job! Would be so awesome if u could add the ios type of icon with small icons of the apps of the folder on it

Hey me again. I just have one suggestion so far: I've noticed that when I open an app from one of the ' folders' (like Starred Apps for example), the folder doesn't automatically close when you go back to the home screen. So it would be cool if you could fix that, thanks again for the great app

You can add your own icons ... you just have to find your favorite file browser
Nice app
This app is really nice. Its works on the my LL 7ck100.
Maybe i missed something. I downloaded the apk. transfered to sd card. opened and installed it. Long press on screen and icon appears. tap on icon and box appears but doesnt do anyhting. What am i missing? Thanks for any help.
works on my Vibrant. this app is freakin sweet.thnx
Very nice app man! It's what i was looking for weeks!
Thankyoouuu!!
thank you verry much!!!!!!
ich love this app!!
great app,one thing though, could you please make the icons for the folders appear at the same height as the normal sense ones? For example the internet icon from your app is a bit higher placed on the screen than the normal sense one.
Edit: Found the bug, if you add the folders to homescreen from within the application the icons are placed jsut right,if you add them from android homescreen they appear missplaced.
And one mroe thing,how to i add bookmaks?
Works great with my htc wildfire!
Thanks man!
can u make an option to remove the name of the label i like to just see the icon with no name under it
thanks a lot for this useful app.installed for 3 days.it is so great.
I have AppsOrganizer 1.0 installed. When trying to install this app, it asks me to uninstall appsorganizer. Is this the same app maybe?
The name for AppsOrganizer is com.google.code.appsorganizer
Great on desire hd! However the sense style graphics you added are slightly blurry

Hi, I just got a Thunderbolt for my first Android phone and I'm loving it! I have a question about the Desktop Visualizer app though.
On one of my screens I want to use DV and put pictures of some bands in the widgets, each one with a shortcut to their playlist. How can I take a picture off of Google and use it in DV? Do I have to make it a certain size or file type? And how can I do this? Thanks!

you need to find the proper sizes of which sizes you want to use. search this forum for ones that are made and use those sizes you like(should be easy to find). i use photoshop but you can use any photo editing software that will allow you to resize or crop. i heard gimp is pretty good and free.
Ok I changed a picture to 350x130 pixels and it said fail to create shortcut or widget. The picture is a jpeg, should it be png or something else? Or is something else the problem
Hey guys I need your help.
So far, I've been wanting something to the equivalent of CM7's lockscreen (because it has no "background" to it.) I want to change my LCD density so the screen is a 'higher' resolution, and the stock Droid 3 lock screen looks like crap when I change the LCD density. No I don't want to use CM7 right now (no offense Hashcode) I love CM7 but I need all my phones features. I would prefer to stick to a base lock screen and not use an add on app (for speed and memory usage.) So if anyone knows a .zip file that will take care of my lock screen, or an app that will replace my lock screen ( not cover it up) I will be very thankful.
Cheers,
Chaotic
just curious as to the point of a "higher density" look outside the native res?

Are you asking what it looks like? I'm assuming you are, so depending on how low you set the density. (lower means higher "resolution" for some reason) I set mine to 190, stock is 240, and everything is crystal clear, no display problems, and the apps and widgets take up less space (more apps per page for me is a plus) I honestly love it, the only problem is the lockscreen background (slider and volume switch) doesn't match up at all.

Haven't tried myself to rise the density. So I'm not sure if it works, but you can try with a third party lock screen, like widgetlocker, lockbot, or agile lock)

Yeah I've tried 2 of those. The only problem with that is those aren't built into the framework of the ROM. I want something that works 24/7, instantly after startup, screen lock, etc. I'll try agile lock as I havent used that yet. Thanks for the suggestions!
On HTC phones, the default lockscreen isn't built in to the framework too, i consider it a plus as you can get back the AOSP lockscreen just uninstalling the apk.

Hmm. Interesting.. Well the best lockscreen replacement app I've found is widgetlocker, because it uses root to actually "replace / remove" the stock lockscreen.

Surely is the one with the best features (eg. you can slide to unlock, or add a flashlight slider) lockbot is slow (at least it was when i tried it), agile is nice if you like the sense stile (and I'm not one of them), btw agile has a nice feature: it overcome one of the most annoying things on the default motorola home (unlike any other launcher app,if you install an alternate launcher you loose the ability to launch it)
how exactly did you change the density?

You can get apps off of the market, I use Rom Toolbox (got it off of the internet because I didn't want to pay) or you could search Density Changer. Theres tons of apps on the market, and don't set your density below 180 (at that point everything is too small to read). I use 190 - 200..
I found where the lockscreen background is located..
On /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi.
Its called zz_moto_lockscreen_sd_door.png
and another with _land.png after "door".
Is there a way to remove this without destroying my phones integrity?
Open it up in Photoshop, GIMP, or any other image editing program that accepts transparent backgrounds. Then all you do is select it all, and erase it.

The only problem with that is the fact that all the files are in the framework-res.apk file. I have no idea how to pull the file out and then put the modified file back in. I was using root explorer to find it..
Edit : Oh and root explorer only has the option to extract the file when I long-press it. No deleting or other options.

Copy the framework-res.apk and paste it in the root of your SD, then put it on your PC and unzip with 7zip. When you're done, Zip it back up and rename from .zip to .apk
Thank you so much! Haha I'm new to android so I have a pretty large learning curve from all the days of hacking my and my friends ipods/iphones.
Sorry, another question, would I have to use ADB shell to push the file back onto my phone, or is it safe to use root explorer to just put the file back into it's place?
Nevermind guys. I just flashed Liberty, and it has all of the stuff that I need. So if the mods want to lock this thread or leave it open for future purposes, its on you. Thanks for everyones help!

very good theme as a first release but some apps like Music unlimited doesn't work (force close on launch)
Xperia clock app is not displayed correctly, the statusbar is hiding part of the app=]
but really a nice theme with stock xperia icon set!!! :good::good::good:

Wich apps dosen't work too?
And what is with the clock widget. Can you tell me what is wrong?

there're two apps u added with similar functions and they're "Alarm" and "Clock"
The "Alarm" works but i think it's GingerBread based while clicking "Clock" brings me to the same apps as when i launch "Alarm" (I'm not talking about the LG Stock "Alarm/Clock" App)
BUT in "Clocks" the status bar masks part of the title text of the app:fingers-crossed:
the torch app is working weirdly, once i turn on the torch by pressing onto the button, i cant turn it off by pressing that same button again until i quit the app
i think u should put apps extra in a separate CWM flashables while keeping the visual theme in another CWM flashables
P.S. can the clock text on the upper right corner be changed to white so as to match the status bar theme? XD
THX A LOT for ur work, will be staying on this theme :laugh::victory:
