[Tutorial] How to use Zoom for Tasker (creating customized icons)

Hi everybody. As I promised, there is a tutorial about using Zoom for Tasker, to create personalized widgets.
In this tuto we are creating a 1x4 widget with an icon which launchs an aplication, a button that launchs battery settings and a text which displays the hour and minutes, and launchs the clock menu
In this tuto, I'm more interested in the potencial of the app than in creating an amazing widget.
First of all, launch Zoom, and create a new template. Name the widget (I'm naming it "New widget". Original, isn't it?),
{
"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"
}
And here we are, in the workspace.
The footprint icon is for change between normal, move and resize mode.
To add an element, just longpress and select, or menu->add element.
You can choose what type of element you want from a menu
Let's add the background. Menu->add image, and choose the source, and then resize it as you want.
Let's add the icon. Again, Menu->add image, and choose the source, and then resize and move.
Now, choose click action -> launch apps, and select the app to be launched.
This way, you can create buttons, texts which displays the battery level, the hour, etc. switchs that realizes alternatively some functions, etc.
After finished, the last thing is to add from the widget menu, and here we go

These are examples of displays based in this app

And dumping some of my stuff, including personalized icons, and backgrounds for vertical widgets
Enjoy!, and sorry for my english

Most of the work here was not done by me. I simply added some icons and hopefully I will add more the days to come and also edit the existing ones to make fonts look alike better.
Everything is based on work done here and here.
Required Downloads:
Icons/Pictures/Background
I have made a zip file and just so there is no confusion, it contains two folders.
Folder AP7 was not done by me. Folder AP7-jastonas contains icons/pictures I made.
Requirements from Android Market:
LauncherPro
or
ADW Launcher EX
Beautiful Widgets (Optional)
Desktop Visualizer
You can find instructions in the guide above but for an experienced android user it is fairly simple as long as you know how to resize a widget.
Basic Instructions: Add Beautiful Widgets
Add Black Wallpaper (included in Android Police Zip file)
Start adding desktop visualizer widgets and assign them pictures and applications
PS. I will take requests for custom icons

Awww, I do love this theme. You did a great job with your icons jastonas. What font are you using for the FM Radio, Barcode Scanner, etc icons? It looks so personalized and modern.
I found the Android Forums thread to also be very informative.
If anyone is interested, Go Launcher EX can also work, but you may need to tweak the size of your icons a bit if they don't fit perfectly right off the bat. Here's a screenshot on my HD2 with Go Launcher Ex set to 4x5 rows and hiding the notification bar at the top:

I used one of the many helvetica fonts. I will have to get back to you for that tomorrow since I have the fonts installed in my works computer.

any further updates on this?

Here I present to you my new theme, Paint Splatter. Inspired by well, my little brother who messed all over my shirt with paint. This theme is not an APK and doesn't get applied very easily, some skill needed. Everything presented here is mine and made from scratch, except the optional LunarUi Theme.
Working on MDPI only at the moment, if there is enough interest I will make a HDPI one too.
Requirements:-
- CyanogenMod 7 -which supports theme chooser.
- Desktop Visualizer
- Launcher - which supports 8x8 Columns and Rows (Like ADW, LP)
- A little brains
Lets get cracking!
Launcher Settings:-
- Hide StatusBar ( Optional )
- Disable Wallpaper Scrolling
- Hide Icon Lables
- 8x8 Columns and Rows
- Only One Screen
- Disable Auto Rotate
Desktop Visualizer:-
- Set the Sms, Music, Contacts, Camera and Home buttons on the wallpaper to a Transparent image with Desktop Visualizer and link the Actions.
Optional:-
- I find that LunarUi Cm7's bright colors makes it look wonderful with this theme. Select it on CM7 Theme Chooser.
Download:-
- Just one of these Wallpapers. Choose anyone you like and use it with the above method ( It's basically a screenshot too.)

Grained Icon Pack
I put together some icons for my own use a while ago and finally got around to putting them all in an installable icon pack. Its not an extensive pack but I'm open to requests. Just let me know what you're missing and I’ll do my best to put new icons in - asap. All other icons are cut and scaled on a unified template (see picture below).
This Icon Pack should work on most launchers. I’ve seen it work on Nova and ssLauncher. Let me know if you have problems on anything else.
Download
P.S. Please let me know if something isn’t working – its my first icon pack and I may have missed some things putting it together.
I'm really grateful for any feedback and corrections.
Special thanks go to: iamareebjamal. I used his Guide and the template therein to start building this icon pack – a great help.

MATERIAL SEARCH BAR FOR ZOOPER
Hi all, recently I developed a simple collection of Material Design Search Bar for Zooper Widget.
The application comes with:
- A simple Material dashboard, developed by +Sasi Kanth. With the dashboard you can see changelog, install fonts and see some infos about the developers, in just few clicks.
- The same search bar in 19 different color and light and dark variant, choose the colore you like the most! Every color is extract from the Material Palette, for a total of 38 Material search bars!
Material Search Bar is free and without ADS. What are you waiting for install it?
How to add a search bar to the homescreen:
- Open the app and tap on "Install" in the "Install font" tab.
- Go to your home screen and add a 4*1 Zooper Widget.
- Tap on it.
- Select "Material Search Bar".
- Choose the search bar you prefer.
- Return to your home and wait few seconds.
