I only have the free version even on my phone so I can't check it myself. I want to make my direct dial shortcut icons bigger. The default size is pretty small. Anybody have a screenshot of the larger icons? Thanks
you get the option to increases the size up to 130% on icon size, But I can tell you that is not much.
However, you can do what I did. I created a picture with my contacts on it, and the used UCCW to make each contact a hot spot that when pressed direct dials them. This way I am no longer limited to the size of icons or the look of icons, I create the pic I want and make it behave the way I want.
Here is how my contact screen looks, it is just one large pic with hot spots created. (I fuzzed out the pics for posting)

this is the max you can get. 130%.
maybe with a custom widget you can create shortcuts with bigger image..
Check this out... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.preiss.ostart I have been using and love it
You can also use Desktop Visualiser from the play store to be able to resize or use custom icons.

Quite a interesting app.. nice alternative to touchwiz.
I use widgetsoid for this. Make a widget that points to an app (it uses the apps icon) remove the background and indicator and then resize the widget to the size you like. You can make a template so all you have to do is point to the app to create one.

I am so glad you turned me in to this. It is one of the best apps I have ever used. I got my Icons laid out nicely to all different sizes and shapes. This was a blessing and I see why Fomey expressed a nod of interest in the app

As i am abit bored about my phones layout i made this "preview" of icons which i could make. Just want to get feedback for now, made a preview so you can see how it would look like. I will also write a short guide on how to get this done with ADW launcher and Desktop visualizer (both free apps on market)
here is the preview:

I'm not a big fan of this style but I really like the way your's is set up and willing to change my mind about this style. I hope you release it. great job.
It's basically what I'm using now. I would be willing to use your tiles.

I like the preview. I would use the tiles. Thanks for the creativity!
Just came out of the win7 style phase, but i would probably jump straight back in with your tiles! Very nice indeed

I started working on a complete wp7 theme with themed ADW launcher aswell. I will theme the notification bar also but this needs to be done for each phone and firmware separately so i wont be able to share it.
Nice one! Couldn't you do it like the zune launcher and have the tiles scroll down the homescreen. That would be cool but i just realized it wouldn't be possible as an adw theme

Never tryid it, i will take a look when i get home and perhaps swich to it Can you resize widgets in it? Or set rows? If this is not possible than the launcher can not work
doesnt this work with launcher pro? looks quite good, better than the common windows mobile style

hm i dont know, i couldn't find a way to fit 2 2x2 icons + an aditional icon. I know it has a 5 row option but it doesn't work. In adw i got this with a 6 row setup, but i played for like 1 min not more. The image is made in photoshop so it's not an actual layout... It can be done tho
Your layout is possible. below is a shot of my homescreen.
Im using launcher pro, desktop visualizer, and tiles that are 250px by 250px,
columns and rows are both set to 10.
Make some tiles and I will try them out. I would suggest either losing the semi-transparent bar at the bottom of the tiles and increasing the text OR increasing the transparent bar in height by almost double and increasing the text. Only reason I say this is because all of the other wp7 theme tiles with actual photos as tiles have the exact same transparent bar at the same height. Basically looks like all the other tiles just squared.

Hm, i took the "design" from the original icons, all was rushed, maybe ill create other types, however atm i am modifiying ADW launcher and have in mind a slyghtly different setup than yours. Smaller tiles with one free row on the right and the menu button centered below.
very nice idea ^~^ But all of those should be the same style like windows phone 7

Really loving this idea. great work! If you are making a theme for ADW Launcher, that would be great plus you should add the icons into that and it would be awesome!
Here is a link to hundreds of icons from several sources.

I came across these by accident and figured I would share...
About half of these look like they were ripped from iPhone themes, but a good pack nonetheless. Fair variety, and they are all good quality PNGs, which makes it easy. Thanks.

That works if you care about changing what you see in the App Drawer. If you only care about what you see on home screens, a much easier way for the average user is to just download Desktop Visualizer from the Market. Combined with Launcher Pro for your dock, you are limited only by the PNG images you can find or make.
It depends on how far you need to take it.

That's why we're here
Actually I am interested in changing the app drawer icons. And though much appreciated, the above post to the directions seems like a long way to go to achieve this.
Is there an easier way? I actually bought an icon theme for ADW.launcher and I love the home screen icons, but for some reason the developer made the drawer icons completely different and I hate them. I have found some icons that I like, that match the home screen icons.
Surely there must be a way to change all the icons at once instead of the above directions.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I love that dude's set up.
Mine is minimal and simple using a black back screen with very clean and small things on the main page.
I'd like to mix it up and try something different.
For reference, here's mine:
That's Launcher Pro with Desktop Visualizer. DV just lets you make a widget that is an app button for any app with any PNG image you want for the icon. Head over to the Launcher Pro website here for a good thread of homescreens with lots of info: http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/vi...d=f659d9b40749e84b4ca91213bea40038&start=2490

I thanked you, because I appreciate the reply and posting up a link for me, but it's the images that I'm most interested in.
I'm going to search that thread to see where it takes me, but I wish there were just a theme I could bounce onto my phone with that type of layout pre-done.
I know that I'm going to get into it, not be able to make it as nice, not like the end result, and then not be able to get my current screen back to this way either.
Update: Found exactly what I was looking for and I know how to use it due to plenty of previous fooling around with Desktop Visualizer. Now I just need to find some time to go at it.
Here's the link for anyone else interested:

I created a bunch of gingerbread style icons that anyone is free to use if they please. The only thing I ask it that you give credit if you include them in a ROM or Theme. They are not perfect because I made them quickly, but they should be perfect looking on your phone. Use a program like BetterCut (QR code below) to apply these.

I will add more icons as time goes on, keep checking back.
thank to joeshmoe08 for seperating the icons initially
Can I put these in launcher app? or do I have to use adw or launcher pro?
nice! really liked the camera with deep green center.
Yes. Putting into green would be great! But like "yzlvr" said above, it would be cool to have these into a launcher app, so we can use them when we want, and revert to colorful stock icons when wanted, giving everyone the best of both of the worlds.
Two things I would request.
Not all people have photochop. Please if you could separate them for ease of use?
Also.. if you could make an XDA Icon with the same type of color theme that would be awesome!

So there is no program to do it? Someone should make that. Right now I am just creating more icons. Technically for this type of phone they should be 72x72 according to Google guidelines, but I'm making them 70x70 and they looked fine on my phone.

You can just use Desktop Visulizer, or if you'd rather BetterCut. No need to put them into the apk's for everyone when it's a simple, free process for them to do it themselves.

Desktop visualizer will allow you to only make custom icons for your homescreen, not in your app drawer I believe. Bettercut I believe requires the open home launcher I believe to customize the icon into the app drawer, I believe.

Hey guys,
this is an icon set which I created for Desktop Visualizer, and also my first release here on XDA.
This icons are in "2x1" size and you can dispose them as you wish.
In the next days I'll release more icons, even with different size and style.
To apply:
Of course you need Desktop Visualizer installed on your phone
Long press on the screen
Select "Desktop Visualizer(2x1)"
Tap the icon
Tap "Select Icon"
Tap "Image File" (if you have the DVRImageSlicer addon you can also choose "Add-Ons" > "NoPaddingPicker" which give better quality images with some launchers)
Select the image
Select the action, clear the laber, remove the touch effect color and press OK.

Guys, come on! I need your opinions and feedbacks! Please tell me what you would change (or keep) and I'll try to do my best!
The icon themselves look great to me! Perhaps your display pictures could show them tiled on a Homescreen? Other sized tiles would make a good addition too so people can mix and match and have different tile layouts?
Keep up the good work!

With GO Launcher EX you can really dispose them as you prefer since you can resize the widgets:
And of course I'll release more different size icons (1x1, 4x1 etc.) to create different layouts, but obviously only if I see a bit of interest by you guys, otherwise I'll just stop wasting my time and I'll keep the entire work for my private use
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the previous/old project, what you think about? Do you like this style?

Here is my home screen with nova launcher beta with google now integration and another widget at the top. I don't really like the weather part of the widget cause it does not update the weather fast enough for me but its cool for now. I like my clean look. Never been a fan of touch wiz.

No extra launcher. Just used icon color changing app and floating.
