Hey guys. I wanted to share with you my first attempt at anything development related.
My first icon pack: Painted Sphere

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I was hoping to get some insight from everyone about some issues I'm having with it, and how I can improve it.
I released this pack about 2 weeks ago, everything was going well, but lately I've been seeing a lot of canceled orders (40-50%). I'm not sure what the issue is because no one is leaving feedback or ratings. I don't know if people simply don't like it, or if its something technical. Let me know what you think and what improvements I can make. I must warn you though I'm very new to theming and development, so you may need to speak slowly...
Another thing that I have noticed is that apparently if I look at the pack through the google store it says it's incompatible with my device (nexus 4). I have no idea what the issue is, I have read some things about the possibility that it could be due to the size, but I'm not sure.
Could you please check it out on the Store and let me know if it works for your device.
Thanks a ton for any help, and enjoy the pack!
ok downloading this these look sure as hell pretty :3

Aweosme! let me know what you think.
Ok, I've downloaded and installed it. I like the styling but I can immediately see some things that maybe not satisfactory to some.
First, your icon pack, at least the downloaded package from Google Drive, doesn't have icon on its own.
Second, you still missed a lot of app icons. Some icon packs somehow able to style icons that not in the packs into their style. Means square them or make them appear circle. But your icon Pack doesn't do that. Makes overall looks and feels inconsistent.
That's my input. Keep on developing ☺

This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to hear, thank you.
I'm now working on upgrading my pack to using Blaze's pack with the apply theme, change wallpaper, and request app all implemented. I think that should help draw people in. I'm a bit confused as to how I missed a lot of app icons, but I've heard a bit of feedback from people, and they are requesting apps I've already done... I've tested the apps on my phone and they all seem to work, which means that people are running different versions of the app, and my icons aren't applying.
This means that I need to get a better ComponentInfo, which I'm a little confused about, because unless people buy the icon pack then request the app that is missing I won't be able to get their version. Does anyone know a better way?
Finally, I don't think I'l be able to style remaining apps into the same shape as my icons. Unfortunately I didn't use an iconbase/iconmask and some of my icons break their circular look. Do you think it would be worth going back and fixing those icons to be circular for the sake of constancy throughout?
Thanks again!

I can't say for others but for me consistency is really important. I can't stand looking at my home screen where one or two icons mismatch with the rest of icons. I don't understand the technicality of icon Pack design but I hope from this problem you can better plan of your icon Pack creation in the future. Cheers ☺
Hey nice work dude,but on which launcher is it [email protected]

WM7 Custom Pack
m.schmidler WM7 theme for ThrottleLauncher
This custom pack is dedicated my late grandmother whom i love very much...
Great, that's really promising !
So simple and so nice, well done
Wow! This looks really good. Keep it up man. Im looking forward to it.
Looks very sweet, just subscribed to your thread
The blue looks great...good job!!
any link to dowload??
hey this is great, subscribing.
Beautiful ！a dood job !
Looks good. I'm subscribed also. Sorry, I don't know how to fix the issue with the tab though. You may end up with an easier job using RL Today or Battery Status, though I much prefer HTC Home.
Good!
Nice quest you started , I wish I could help with relocation of the orb icon.
If may I suggest: The clock leaves are very clean proably the best I´ve seen around), however looks for me that the gloss effect at the top is a little too big (imho)

tnx mhan. i was by inspired by those who are trying to make our devices have a wm7 feel of some sort.
about the clock, it's not the final though. and yes it sucks i just can't come up with an idea of a different clock which is far from the looks of the diamond clock. if you will look at the number "2" at the upper portion, its not yet clean. hehe... i hope anyone can give me any ideo about how the clock would look.
**hope someone can help me about the tabs
anyone?
first suggestion: use a really clean font, eg Calibri (vista default font). Try a few different versions, one with more effects, one with less, one without any.
If you´ve got Photoshop, its really easy to play around with these things. If you haven´t got, I suggest you ask anyone in this forum to do this. Normally I´d suggested myself for this work but atm I´m too busy to do any additional (design-) work
regards,
Martin
The theme looks good.
There was some DLL file that was around before that I think might have allowed for repositioning of the tabs, but I can't remember. If that doesn't work, the actual HTC Home dll might have to be hacked on to make it default to tab 3.
When the fill image was modified, was it saved in the exact same format? Was it set for the same transparency?
Where to download?
Congrats mategreat work
We all are waiting to download it and test it!!!
Cheers
Very promising theme, I'm definitely looking forward to this to come out. I like the home icon being in the center and i can see the idea of the clock resembling the diamond but it is still unique in my opinion

@m.schmidler
i'm using photoshop..like i said the images are not final and im open to suggestions...thanks for suggesting calibri...i think ill try it...why did i never thought of it..hehe...tnx m8t..
@orb3000
ill post the files as soon as the problems are fixed... im also kinda busy in my office..but if someone can post the solution for my problems, it might be done easily.
thnks guys.
Nice artwork, looking forward for the release.
I'll see if I can figure out how to possibly mod the DLL to load tab 3 first. No guarantees on my success though, since I'm not a pro at this kind of thing.
Here is the new theme that I'm working on.
It's still have many things to finish, but I decided to post this first release, to take some stress away (I'm getting many issues theming Cm508 and I had to make some things again after the update).

Known bugs in V0.1
- Calendar widget is not finished, but you also can use smooth calendar included
- Still have to change some icons in statusbar
- ...
Things to do:
- include wallpapers
- make just a theme zip, and make it work without freezing the device.
- fix twitter app
- finish some pressed png for widgets
- changing icons for some apps
- light effect for statubar icons
- ...
PD: any idea are welcome!
Credits: many many special thanks to Anderweb and Cacheinjection
Thanks to GLa'DOS for the bootanimation , if it's not included, I'll do in the next update.
Thanks to senaia1 , because of people like him, I made instructions on the launcher
Thanks to missrott3n becuase she takes care of my discipline
Thanks to Baby_Noah, because he makes me want to be a better person in Twitter
Not everything in this theme is mine, but I don't remember where I got it from, so if you think you can be here, just make me know
Thanks!

Backup recommended before flashing.
And this is the keyboard:
This looks nice!!
I really like the look of that launcher, maybe have a small MetaMorph pack where people can add their own photo and info to change it? I dunno how user friendly that would be. (I can just change it myself)
wow this looks sooo fantastic.
and i I would be you, I would not upload any beta here.
So many other dev's did that (inclusive cyanogen) and all they earned from the community here were complains instead of helpful feedback.
looks and sounds promising...most definitely gonna bookmark this
nice....

Right now, it's not in my "things To do list", just because a I dont have a N1 where I can test. BTW: if somebody have an extra N1 for me: problem solved!
But , I'll keep it in my mind, and maybe one day, I can prepare something. BUT I DON'T PROMISE IT.
Thanks for your comments.
what do you think about this launcher?
and here it's in action:
The launcher looks good.
is there a way to make the image and text configurable by the user? I would love to able to change it on the fly.
By the way, i think what you have is dope.

It's funny you asked me this, because, actually, this theme started as a project-idea I talked with Anderweb, about creating a new launcher which allows us to set our name and user picture, like you can see in the first caps, and some other changes between this and the original launcher.
Right now Anderweb is busy working on his great launcher, (I'm sure none of us both imagined how succesful his first launcher would get some weeks/months later, the first time we talked about this), and, unfortunately, I'm not a programmer, so I cannot do it alone. So the only thing I can do is waiting.
Here is another idea for the project.:
I love the notifications bar.
I'd like to see what the transparent widgets look like on a dark/black wallpaper though.
Great work so far.
The ides to click on the picture for some sort of info bubble popping up is a great idea. If you can implement that, this will be golden.
Sleek and clean very nice!

Yes, this is the idea, but it doesn't depend of me that it come true. So I cannot promise anything.

fantastic idea...incorporating the 3d flying effects of the ADW launcher with the thought bubble concept is very nice
Would be cool if the launcher was tied to a Social app(like friendstream).
This would be a cool idea, but difficult,well soon would be easier to make it for twitter, 'cause they will open their API.
Here are some other caps

These would look so amazing on Miui. They look amazing as it is.
I've removed all the immature off-topic posts....please either keep it civilised or dont post at all.
Love the work so far. I was just wondering would it be possible to create them with custom colors. Like calendar with a blue bg instead of red?

My psds won't teach you much I'm afraid.
Theres not much to making a glassy / glossy effect, you just draw over the item you want it done to with a circular shape (easiest to work with). Apply brightness, white to transparent gradient. Just think about where the light is, keep having a go on photoshop
Gracias, por el aporte
Thanks for the input
Yeah I got the one rar with the psds just noticed now actually as I am sitting down to work on them. I think thats great you would do that. Changing those colors is as easy as just messing with the hue/saturation. I already have a few of them done. If anyone else wants custom colors I would be willing to do help out.
So here is one I found missing. An icon for email. I used the files PSD and found an envelope online hope you all enjoy it. This is using the Thick Glass PSD.

So far lately me... Haven't played much lately and went back trying to get three stars on everything without using youtube.
I realize this is a double post, so perhaps we can just merge the two. The other is linked in my sig. Thank you moderators
Alright, time to flex those theming muscles.
I'm a gamer, you're most likely a gamer, and with both those conditions being met, it's safe to assume you are acquainted with Valve's masterpiece, the Portal Series. I appreciate and love the comedic and puzzling aspects of both Portal and Portal 2, and am excited to try to get a theme going.
The theme would probably get the biggest support for adw, free or ex. I personally am partial to AOSP ROMs, as are many of the themers/graphics guys.
Here's the running list of things to have:
• Bootanimation/Splash - DONE thanks to JamesC_
• Icons
• Icon dock
• Wallpapers (I think a cool idea would be to have alternative walls for widgetlocker and the homescreen, one with each color portal)
• Themed major widgets (start getting more specific with that later)
• CM Theme Manager or otherwise AOSP theme, including, but not limited to menus, notification bar icons, and a cute something on the notification panel
Possible icon sets:

http://gorganzola1.deviantart.com/art/Portal-Icon-174389446?q=sort:time+gallery:gorganzola1&qo=2
Any more suggestions/pledges/themers willing to aid their time please comment below, and let's try to keep it constructive guys!
Let's start with some Wallpapers:
http://biofall.imgur.com/portal_theme#5eUEr
Wallpapers fail to fit my phone, setting from browser only shows small portion. Setting from gallery lowers queality like crazy.
I was bored today and was looking for portal themes for my nook running cm7.
I will keep an eye on this thread and see If I can find anything to help.
Love the game so far.
I think with the wall papers you have to click the "download full resolution" link in imgur.
Not sure I like these, I would really like to see one with the look of "panels" from the game. I am horrible with graphics. lol. I usually have to rely on the kindness of strangers for icons and whatnot.
Here is a good set of icons:
http://lady-tima.deviantart.com/art/Portal-v1-0-1-75896888?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=8
I know its for the iphone, but it works.
I cant help but be inspired by this post also from Deviant Art
http://wistfulwriter.deviantart.com...e-192617498?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=14
would love it to look like the Level Boards....
HEre is what ive been working on latley, decent but could be better.
Looking for a battery widget that looks like little bars like on the level boards on each level in portal.

I made an unlock, lock, and shutdown sound i like it! hope you do too.
I too would love to see a portal theme for my Thunderbolt! I am brand new to Android, and am not willing to root my phone, so any help on installing a theme for unrooted devices would be great (I do have Go Launcher as well as Launcher Pro and ADW). OR, any help on creating my own would do just as well. Will keep an eye on this.
I already downloaded the wallpapers and icons, will play with that for a bit. Will also try Simple Text and Minimilistic Text see what I can do.
+1 on this idea. I love the idea of a portal-esque theme for my samsung captivate.. might try to toy around with it myself a bit too.. Will report back once I actually get some progress..
I have been using this setup with a little modification as my lock screen for a while. I think you'll like it as a portal fan.

Side note: 404 views and not one thanks? I know posting a quick reply saying thanks is so much work, but to not even press the thanks button, which takes half a second literally...you all suck donkey balls
i hope this works on coredroid~
oh wait..this is not a flashable zip..LOL nvm..idk how to work this stuff
I find it really cool icons and I think they would go very well with the style CoreDroid. Just one thing I noticed by taking a quick look, I think we should use as little icons can be bases on the stock as for example the camera, but always in style as the example device photo is an image in "three D". I think that on this basis and with more icons in the style of the camera, you could do something even bigger.
This is only my humble opinion Android users since some time now, and I find it stand out even more icons icons Android IPhone to which everyone tends to return more or less.
Good luck to continue your work, I will follow you essayerde regularly to see the evolution.

Don't worry about it, I probably should have explained, these are just small 92x94 pixel images that can be set as the shortcut images for apps. You'll need to use a home launcher that allows you to customise shortcuts or an app which will do the same job if you're using the Rosie launcher, for example;
Folder Organizer
Desktop VisualizeR
Those two apps above are free by the way!

I'm not sure I entirely get what you mean but I know that Coredroid is heavily themed and I'm assuming they have their own Camera icons. Are you interested in Sense 3.0 styled icons to go with the Coredroid theme?
If so that can be arranged! Let me know though or else I won't bother doing them (laziness strikes).
The Template you've added, i wanted to create an icon with that, but do i need Photoshop installed to get the transparency ? I guess W7 Paint won't cut it? XD

I wasn't actually sure about this so I attempted it to be thorough and a warning popped up letting me know all transparency would be lost so... no dice!
You should be able to do it with gimp if I remember correctly which has the added bonus of being free!
Thanks for these, they look amazing!

Transparence Dock icons for go launcher
HELP!
trying to get the old Go Launcher 2.3 beta transparent icons for my new galaxy 3. They're available under the Transparence Dock app but are only for the dock. Does anyone have/know where I can find/ can create these for use as regular icons? I'm old school. I like the simplicity and the "barely there, but still identifiable" icons. I can't find ANYTHING I like as well...
Even if you could point me to the correct theme- much appreciated.
