New Icons for Androkkid "TransparentFrames" finally!
These new Icons should work better for those of you who have like me found the standard winmo icon ugly and pixelated.
I have always thought that some of the IPhone's attraction was the beautiful icons that were uniform in size and shape. So I made my own for Ifonz (based on other people's graphic work). When Androkkid came along I loved the scenic wallpapers you could use but I thought the beautiful scenery of the wallpapers became too cluttered with the IPhone style icons and that the square icons ruined the effect of the beautiful wallpapers.
So these new icons are designed to preserve a uniform style and at the same time be better integrated into the "scenery" by using transparency.
I hope that some of you will have a look at these and tell me what you think
PS If you resize these, they will not work. If they are resized by Androkkid they are fine.
If you want to use these and need other icons, ask me on the themes Thread and I'll see what I can do.
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!
I HAVE MOVED ALL ICON DEVELOPMENT TO THIS THREAD
New!!! Golden Frames
For those who really want to pimp up our phones
here are some Screenshots
The theme used is Teacher's Gold which you find below with the icons
More Screenshots
and even more
the icon files
Finally the iconfiles!
Please consider to try them out, I don't think they are as beautifull as some of the Iphone like icons, like the ones made by bluemetalaxe or Stereo's Leopard, but when you see them glide across the scenery in Androkkid they feel much more integrated into the scenery than the Iphone like icons which leave kind of a square hole in the scenery, however beautiful they are. So what do you have to loose, give 'em a try:
Edit have added new iconfile today 15/12-09 they are now checked out for "white and black" holes and should be okay

Transparent Icons
These look nice, thank you very much! Any chance you could add a couple more icons to the package (96x96): SMS, Voicemail, Calender, Missed Calls? Or, just tell me how to make these myself and I'll take a stab at it, there's a few web icons I'd like, too. Thanks again!

I'll gladly tell you how I made these, but first here are some suggestions for icons, but what do you mean by an icon for "missed calls" In Androkkid you get a small red circle with the number of missed calls you have. If you think about something else give me a hint
Hope you like these

What is problematic with winmo is that it doesn't support "white". In an icon with transparancy, pure white will show up like a black hole in the icon so you have to substitute white with another light white-ish color.
Another problem is this: When a graphic program like gimp or photoshop compresses a png to a smaller size. it conserves the smoothness of the png by making semitransparant pixels, these are not supported either and show up like white holes in the icons.
If you just index the png it will avoid the semitransparent pixels, but it will scale down with a very crude and pixelated result.
My way around this is to put the compressed png in a frame filled with a very nondescript greyish color. Then I have to eraze all the grey color and decide pixel by pixel which pixels have enough color to let them remain.
This is why it takes so much time to resize these icons. I have to do this every time. In the icon files I have uploaded you can find both an empty and a filled frame.
If you want to try this for yourself you are very welcome to do so but remember that you have test each icon on your phone to find "holes" before you publish them.
PS I haven't tested the last batch of seven icons yet but I will test them before I publish a zip file with extra icons.
PS Gimp is a fantastic graphic program which you can download for free here
Best of luck
Missed Calls
And here's a missed calls icon in three colors
Icons
These all look great, and wow that was fast! By "missed calls" I should have put "Call History" or "Call Log", but it looks like you got the gist with the icons because they're perfect! I'm probably pushing my luck, but maybe a "Tasks" icon? It's the only request I can think of off the top of my head. I'll check out the app you suggested tonight and see if I can create a few "Web" graphics, thanks again!

Thank you so much.. These Icons look great, thats why I hope you can make these so my phone can look even better.
New Theme
Am I the first to produce a new theme for Androkkid?
Let me introduce Obsidian, for those who might prefer a more businesslike theme.
It has been developed on a QVGA screen so I have no idea whether it will work on other screen resolutions.
Just unzip and place the Obsidian folder in the Androkkid Themes folder. It will then be available to select under Settings
The Title buttons (more than shown) can be found in the Obsidian theme folder along with a blank if you wish to make different titles (I can make others if you aren't able to do that). I set the size of the Title buttons to 128 x 32 in Androkkid settings and they have to be positioned, as for any other icon. They can also be used as shortcuts as per normal icons. For example, in my setup, I have the Contact button pointing to my address book.
The 'Lock' Icon on the Home page is not part of the theme but has been designed to match. I have included that icon in the Obsidian theme folder, but none of the other icons.
8 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated for compatibility with Androkkid 1.2.0.0 (inclusion of TopBarIcons,png) and correction of transparency problem with Edit & Delete buttons
15 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated with modified graphics

There already is a cleanram icon (the one with the broom) but if you don't like it I can make another. For SoftReset I use the icon from the icon pack called "exit" (I use "Slide2shutdown" myself) There also is a bluelock (ScreenLock) in the iconpack I have that one in green and red too
I don't know which sound widget you mean, please give me a link or something.
Here are some examples, tell me what you think..

With a Globe from Everaldo Coelho's magnificent Crystal themed icons
Edit. Made a new versions of this icon where the arrows stand out more
I've searched the 'net, I've looked at every crappy icon pack in the market, and I absolutely cannot find an icon pack that I am satisfied with.
Basically what I'm looking for are solid (non-transparent) versions of the LauncherPro icons, or icons that are identical (one solid color with no transparency or shadowing) so that I can edit them to my liking.
I've got decent photoshopping skills, but I've tried goofing around with the LauncherPro icons to no avail, I can't get them looking quite right.
Recommendations would be MUCH appreciated!
I assume you mean the application icons, in the applications list? Are you able to provide a screenshot of one you tried to edit (before or after)?

Sorry, I lost track and didn't subscribe. I'm just talking about the stock Launcher Pro Dock icons, sort of.

See the ones at the bottom? Like that, basically.
I See What You Mean.
Someone should release a vector version of those icons. :/
Wrong post. I'm dumb.
I know what you mean. I always find great icons, but they don't look right in the dock. They're made too small and look bad.
Here you go: http://www.iconfinder.com/browse
There are currently 760 full icon sets in there as I type this, all free, some for even commercial use, which allow you to download in .png or .ico format. You can even search for individual replacements for icons as well.
Happy hunting!

First let me say I take no credit for any of the work in this link, I can only take credit for starting the thread and sharing my find with XDA community.
(Some of you may have already come across it)
These docks should come in handy for everyone that has different themes or wants to match up a wallpaper, whether you have stock roms, custom roms or for those of you that have flashed new themes..
Enjoy......I hope you find them useful.
http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/
Instructions..
1. Download Barcode Reader from the market.
2. Use the Barcode reader to read the images next to the icon or dock you choose.
3. Press on the image
4.Long press on the image, you should now get the option to save to your SD Card.
5.Use Launcher pro to set your icons or dock.
Here is a few Screenshots of some of the docks (not icons)
Last one is the one I kept...
Feel free to post new Icons and Docks in this thread...
Bump as requested
That's great thanks.
I was wondering where you got the text-based icons for your dock from. They are just what I have been looking for.
I think I have stumbled across them:

Or create them yourself in photoshop; start with a 84*84px canvas, transparent background and write the text in the desired color using the text tool. Save as .png.
the 84*84 you are talking about is that standard for Desire HD? some of the text icons i downloaded are quite tiny for me to read so i might try and create my own. normal icons launcher pro comes with are fine
Glad your finding the link useful...
Dude - why did you get rid of the pics of your phone layout?
Thank you so much!
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...) ?

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!
Thus far, I've been unable to find this type of icon set, but maybe someone knows where I can find it (or at least something very close). Basically, I want icons that look like "glass". The closest I've been able to find are slightly transparent white icons that are surrounded by a glassy border. Here's a screenshot of the icons I'm currently using:
http://i.imgur.com/to1qi.png
What I'm looking for is something without a border, where the icon, itself, has a transparent, "glassy" look to it. Anyone know of any icon packs like this?
Closest thing I can think of is THAcrystal by THAphlash

soon
I have a pack schedule for production that will look like what your looking for.. please be patient a bit... it will be worth it.
edit: was wrong
