[REQ][MOD] Smart Shortcuts/Apps Organizer/Folder Organizer - Android Themes

I was wondering if someone could mod any of these? I'm failing miserably. >_>
I'm still trying though!
Basically, my homescreen looks like this:
http://i52.tinypic.com/33bjrdg.png
and those words are folder shortcuts via Desktop Visualizer,
and it opens a folder using Smart Shortcuts.
Problem is, that folder is a little unsightly compared to my theme.
I was wondering if someone could help me mod them so they are little sexier?
Something just black, with a 60% transparency, like Tajm and Battstat?
Thanks! If I get one anyways.

good idea... I just busted open the res folder of Folder Organizer and cant figure out what file controls the folder's background
its probably a xml file, which I have no idea how to alter

Its like that with the other two. I've been experimenting with all the xml's I can find.

I tried a few weeks ago for about 10mins no luck though, no time to try again........it'd be nice if someone can figure something out
It's the only thing that's missing to make a complete theme for me.

its a .9 image file, most likely
those are tricky to edit, but for what you want... it can be done easily, well for me lol

Try Apps Organizer. The screen/folder that pops up isn't too bad. Better than the standard one at least. It is transparent.

The skins are for widgets, but I made it brilliant! This is like exactly what I was looking for.
And, btw, I'm nowhere NEAR done with my theme/layout. Think bookshelf O:
And, if I release it, (not entirely sure yet) I'm going to do several colors, yellow being one ;D

How can I change my camera Icon on the Homescreen?

How to Use
_------------------------------------------
-With the dock open longpress the more/plus icon in the dock to delete a shortcut
-there are 4 options for shortcut layouts, To select a different one, put WAD in Author mode and longpress on the More/Plus Icon and edit the scripts for tap and holt to reflect the name of whichever layout you want, MAKE SURE BOTH MATCH OR YOU WONT BE ABLE TO DELETE SHORTCUTS.
-The icons (by brsev) for shortcuts are located in "\Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes\Slate\Icons" folder, but you can use any icons you want, i suggest 96x96 size
AppDock
AppDock_12 (default)
AppDock12_2
AppDock_9
------------------------------------------------------
Installation
-With WAD already installed and running, copy the enclosed Slate folder to "\Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes\"
-Select the Slate theme from the theme manager
-enjoy

Looks awesome Any chance to see QVGA version?
Regards,
So cool!! I love it!
Great job man! Keep developing this theme!
I love your work, keep improving it man!
Great to see that u have released it!
Just one question: any violence with manila; is it sufficient to turn it off?
Or does it change anything on the registry?
TIA
ive installed this on my acer neotouch but wad doesnt seem to recognize the theme.
i copied the slate folder to \Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes\ while wad is running. then i tried to change theme but the slate theme doesnt appear.
tried scanning for themes too but none was found....
Wow, thanks for release it Any chance for the second one from your screens?
Awesome ! Now a pure new idea....
i love it...
amazing the only thing that is missing is a weather app. Haven't tried it yet so i might be wrong.
Would Love a QVGA, looks awesome.
re upload please, the icon folder has no icons in it except a calculator and even that is just half. Cannot find the theme in WAD so can't even test it. why not convert it to a wadesktop file?
great!...
+1 vote for qvga version! =)
sorry about that, files got corrupted for some reason, Zip has been reuploaded, i personally checked it and it should be perfect

because ive had more than enough problems with that. Every time ive installed one it never worked, all the images from a theme would be missing. guess it happened here too lol, but i can easily diagnose/fix the problem with this
hi sorry, im having trouble installing the skin. i tried applying the skin but nothing was happening and still end up using the default theme.
if the theme is found click apply as protrait it should work then.

Widget Locker No tabs.

I was wondering if someone could mod the app widget locker so that on the lockscreen it wouldn't have those ugly tabs.
Or does anyone know an app that allows widgets on a lockscreen that doesn't have the tabs?
What tabs? You mean sliders maybe?
If yes, you can move them. Just long press on them.
go to look & feel and change slider layout to no sliders.
if there are sliders on the lockscreen, just long press in between em and remove.
ok you guys kind of misunderstand me. Which is understandable.
Here is what i mean.

download the file, under minimal mods, look under drawable-hdpi, use the "jog_tab_bar" and "jog_tab" and use that to replace the ones in widgetlocker

[Q] How to theme for T-Mobile theme chooser?

I recently have been trying to create a theme for the T-Mobile Theme Chooser that comes with CM7. I pulled the cyanbread apk and extracted it and just began to replace the images with my own, until I came across some indexed images. Basically when I open these in photoshop it turns all the alpha transparencies to opaque.
Original Image:

"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After import then saved:
Obviously I can't work with this.
Is there a template or something that I can work with? Or an easier way? I'm basically just taking the best parts of a couple themes and putting them together, and editing the colors. I'm not smart enough with xml to write code from scratch.
Thanks.
I use gimp. It has a setting to change the mode from "indexed" to "RBG" or "greyscale".
When I run into those, I open them in pixlr.com (a free image editor that pretty much ignores permissions), save them, then re-open in Photoshop.

Thanks man, helped a ton.
Unfortunantly I keep running into speedbumps, anyone mind helping me here?
I have two themes at the moment, mine and another one. The other one replaces the widget icons in the notification bar. I like those much better than the stock cm7 ones. The problem is is that I can't just drag them and drop them from drawable folder from theirs to mine, as I'm assuming the XML in mine doesn't have any code to tell that image where to go.
How would I go about editing the xml file(s) to add support for theming of these icons? I have never really touched xml before, plus I haven't had any success finding how to edit any of the xml's in the apk.
Leave xml alone just drag and drop

Problem is is that the apk I'm using as a template does a ton of stuff I don't want it to, but some stuff I do.
Like it reskins the whole browser and shrinks the pop-up menu when you hold your finger on the home screen. I don't want this, and just deleting the images doesn't solve the problem because I get errors while compiling.
The only thing I really want is the ability to skin notification bar widget icons (toggle wifi, gps, etc). Haven't had much luck finding themes that do.
You still need to resign a theme.apk after replace new png files!
What key do you sign it with?
I've got a couple themes up and running right.now and would be happy to help. Do you use Linux, Mac, or windows? Do you have decompiled Apk's that you're working with or are you editing compiled ones?
With theme *.apk file, I can only replace the existing icons, then use apk manager to sign, i cannot add new icons into it!

HD Glass Icons Released

Here are the icons I have been working on for the past few days. Credit for the original HD Icons goes out to mikebeecham for his icons which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828832
I just simply made a "matte glass" template and imported his icons. I did one for almost ever app that I use on my homescreen, so there are a few major ones missing. However, inside this .rar file you will find a Photoshop template. Just download the original HD icons, import the desired icon into the "icon(REPLACE)" layer, resize to fit, save as a .png with transparency (its important that you enable transparency) and copy to SD card. To get the most out of these icons, use Desktop Visualizer. Download from the market, install, and add a 1x1 widget to the desktop for each icon. Pressing it will bring you to the settings for that widget. Simply browse to the file on your SD card, select the desired app, use no text and a transparent label, and your good to go. Below are some screens of my current setup to show you how they look in use. Please enjoy, and upload pics of any icons you create so we can all see!
Thanks guys. -Steve

How would you install these to replace all app icons?

You need to use
A. An app that allows custom shortcut icons like folder organizer or bettercut.
b. A lot of work that will break updates from the market on a lot of apps.
A. Tends to be the better choice.

Yeah i search all the time for an app drawer replacement that will let you do just that... it doesnt exist.. and i dont know why. The one way i did it was to use folder organizer, replace all the icons with folder organizer. Then take a folder organizer folder with all the apps in it and drop it on my dock in place of the app drawer in launcher pro. Basically used a folder as my app drawer. It did the job but was still a pain in the ass.

looks pretty good might try it out

[THEME] Pure Calendar Widget

I modified a couple of skins with some nicer (in my opinion at least) icons.
You can apply them from within the widget settings under the name:
-tacchan23_XXXXmod (from left to right: ECLAIR, ICS, PURE)
both for Agenda and Grid widgets. (sometime not all the skins are visible at first, in case click on "update list")
You can also select the transparency level when you apply a new skin, so it's possible to make the ECLAIR team transparent too.
All credits go to the original images creators, I just modified them a bit and put all together.
Here some previews:

If I had more free time I'd try to do some stuff for Android too, but really difficult to learn the basics again from scratch with very limited time...
i tried uploading your skins from the pure calendar widget but when it loads its a different color and design, it seems to be loading the default skin instead of yours. any idea how i could correct this?
Thanks a lot bro. Looking for some great pure calender themes and happened to find yours :good:

It comes out as the default pure skin which is already installed. However if i install and select the other skins like ics, it installs perfect.

Maybe you could try to clean the App Cache?
Otherwise you can try to uninstall the skins from the calendar widget app.
Then with a root explorer go to /sdcard/.org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar/skins_v2/backgrounds and delete any folders named "tacchan23xxxx".
Then on the widget app, press the update list button and finally download and install again.
Let me know if it works...
I tried clearing cache and data. Didn't work, so I just uninstalled it, and it's all good now

I fixed the icon position in case someone still interested.
