I love my vibrant without a doubt. But I wish our icons were as eye catching as iphones... I keep googling for two months.. sure ive found some icons but just basic ones like phone icon, text, notepad, sms, and most of them are crappy quality because they arent original iphone icons just look a likes or remakes
Can someone help me find preferably new iphone icons from their newest firmware.... a complete set would be great.
Thank You!!!

Icons on our phone are just png files. Any png file with the right size will do. There are various apps on the market to change icons on the home screen. If you want to change it in the app drawer too you can use apk manager to extract each apk you want to change. Swap out the icon in the res/drawables, zip it back up and sign it again.

What is the correct size of the png icons that would most likely resemble the iphone icons?
I feel like alot of icons I find online are too small.

well the default samsung messaging, gallery, video and so forth are 72x72 but I guess smaller icons would work too, even if they are a bit grainy.
Edit: The iphone icons in the above website are 120x120 so they are higher resolution than our default ones. I tested it by swapping out the calculator icon in TouchWizCalculator.apk in system/app. It works nicely.
Im looking for good images, icons, colors anything yall think represents steampunk well. Im looking for this stuff to help me speed along a SteamPunk theme i am imagining.
Ideas/suggestions for it are also welcome.
Let me be clear im not requesting a SteamPunk theme i am merely requesting community input to help give me ideas for the theme.
Not very many icons here, but I had to hunt them down when I saw your topic because they look very cool, and are very detailed.

Should give you some inspiration.
Here is an icon set i found
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&ei=BjyfTZiYBom60QGbzLydBQ
Along with a couple images
Hope that helps......
Thanks to the both of you for those icons, im going to try my hand at creating everything from scratch but these will definitely help to point me in the right direction.
Any suggestions for the way i should make notification bar look? oxidized bronze type look?
concepts and ideas are all im looking for really, tho icons and pictures help
thank you to everyone in advance.
have you seen the starwars steampunk images they look nice. i will see if i can find the link to it.

I would go with the ozidized bronze color and the notification icons with look sweet in a faded cooper color

you read my mind, i was initially thinking of how a wifi antenna would looked in the 1800s but then i realized i dont have that imagination so i'm mocking up some concepts of the notification icons textured and bronze/copper riveted together, with bioshock style lights underneath
this is really gonna test my ability to use photoshop.
If this gets made and will work on Bi-Winning, you can count on donation from me. Oxidised bronze sure sure. Maybe a pressure gauge battery. Analog looking clock, etc. Depending on skill in photoshop.

i dont have infinite time on my hands so it will take a bit of time on my end, im realistically aiming for a release date some time in late april if not mid may
i do have a mockup of my pulldown bar icons done i want to get them on photoshop before i start showing yall my work. im not great at drawing with out grid paper.
Understood. This is a hobby for devs and themers alike. I'm just saying this is such a great idea that I look forward to the progress, no matter how long it takes.
How about with the bronze notification bar being bronze/copper, having the Notification pull down menu be like a steel colored wired mesh with a bronze frame and rivets. Rustier and dirtier the better lol. But really whatever will play nice with text on top. Great idea by the way.
I dont know how extensive iPhone themes are, but heres a pretty impressive looking one, you could crack it open and take a look at the images for some ideas. (EDIT: Ok so theres no link to download the actual theme, either way there are a few design elements you can glean from the screenshot.)

..and heres a set of widgets I found that would go GREAT with this theme, they come in different styles but the stock theme is very steampunk/bioshock-ish, check out the screenshots. Heres the market link:

I was wondering if anyone can help me out and make this Beautiful widgets skin for me or at the very least help me do it. They have changed the way they theme the SC now and the pngs have borders around them similar to a PNG.9 which I could edit, but these are just pngs, so I'm not sure what to do with it. I tried, but it didn't show up. Thanks in advance. Below is the thread the theme is located:

I wasn't trying to bother you bro. You already were busy, but I thank you. Do you have to have the default or can you use a skin? because the default skin is not on the sd card, it's in the apk itself and hard to find.
nah man, its cool.. i wanna help. I've never really used beautiful widgets so i am not sure how it works but from what i understand you have the default widgets and they have a themeing engine where you donwload skin apks and you can select between skins through the app?

That's right, but The default widget is in one of the drawables and I can't tell which. I can post the folders in a zip and also what I got so far.
Below is the drawable and drawable-hdpi out of beautiful widgets, the skin I had been working on called SparkICSClockSkin. after all it is your original creation, and some skins I downloaded that you can use for an example.

Alright, thanks. I already did all the pngs in the zip above called, SparkICSClockSkin.zip, but I don't know how to compile it. I already tried it regular, and I already put borders around it like a png.9 but can't get it to show up for nothing.
I also think I just found a Beautiful widgets dev kit. Check attachments.
Here is a little info on it too: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/th...-widgets-skinning-thread-147.html#post1309792
did you decompile the apk or did you just extract? it seems you just extracted it thats why the .9 borders arent showing up....

I got it working, I just have to edit it to look a little better now, but you don't extract the skins. their just in a folder on the sd card in Beautiful widgets/skins/scskins, but They are compiled like png 9's but you don't have to run them through eclipse like you would for framework. I got it working by using draw9patch and then changinging it from a png9 to a png. then I rebooted and it showed up. just needs a touch up.

ok i guess what your way is just replacing the image files in it but they are originally .9s
but your way should work too
We're your able to come up with anything ?
I did replace them with png 9's but I just changed the 9 to just png like in the folder, bc I don't see the ext 9.png. But anyway, here is what I got, but you can barely see the blue border I made, because of the stretching, and I don't like the numbers or how close the number background is..

super clock theme
my first watcha think?
That's good stuff. I actually couldn't get it the way I wanted it on beautiful widgets, bc I hate how close the number backgrounds are when compared to real sense clock, so I made one for Fancy widgets. Here's mine. Original is on the left and mine is on the right.
I am loving the new Themer app and the theme installation is like a breeze now but icon packs are something like a pain for me. The icons available are only for select apps like Phone, Contacts, Camera and few others which hampers my customization process.
If Themer could give us an option to download the related icon pack and feed it in our icon inventory then it would have been great!
Anyone else who agree with me?
yeah it need supports for icon packs for app drawer like nova launcher or go launcher and etc.
+1 don't using themer atm, still waiting for code, but this is a must for me

I would love to able to use icon packs.
Using one theme with a custom icons, I deleted one by accident which was a folder using an icon.
I tried to recreate the folder, and when I went to set the image, it only let me use images in my gallery, and not one's that came included in the theme.
Would be nice to be able to use icons that are part of the team, and also to install icon packs so we can use many more custom icons

Well, you can use personal icons and you can export icons from a theme.
by going to settings - advanced settings - debug info - dump icons to sdcard/themerdumpedicons
voila.
hmmm

Cheers Tom, Ive done this, and can see the files if I use my file manager, however when I choose to change the icon, it only shows my camera roll folder, and I cant see the icons that have been dumped.
Any idea's?
I just got my code yesterday! So far, I like what I see. But I will agree, there MUST be icon pack support. Sure, there are "ways around it," but one of the major rules of developing apps that more people will use is that it has to be easy to use. Advanced users can find ways around limitations, but the masses will move on to other apps if it's not quick, simple, and easy to use.
But it's still early, I realize this is still a beta and I recognize it's potential! I can't wait to see what they add/do next. :good:
How does a person create a theme and then use it? I'd like to have very specific things on my theme but other than adding to an existing theme, i can't seem to take away from an existing theme, how do I create a new one from scratch?
I know they say watch the vid but if you are like me you need to see it in writing,it makes more sense to me that way.Anyway the easiest way is to grab a theme and change it around/edit,get a feel for the program then create your own by changing wallpapers,icons,weather etc.A lot of themes now won't let you edit them I have found,however download any of mine and edit away they are all editable,as are a few more posted here but names don't spring to mind,none in my opinion are any better or worse than each other they just have their own little attributes that makes them unique in their own way.So go on and play around m8,it will be fun.

Thanks, I cannot stand those youtube videos that "show" you how to do things. I find them tedious and unusable. I'd rather just get some instructions, an application and let me do it. Yet, so many seem to post "youtube instructions" i write this stuff for a living and have never found a video more useful than written instructions. However, that's my bias.
I'll go check out some of yours.
I agree with your assessment that NONE of the themes I've downloaded have been editable. I don't want to ADD more widgets and icons to a theme. I just want to start with a blank canvas and let me do it.
Yet, if all these themes exist, HOW were they created? I'm really not going to watch a youtube video. There has to be a building application somewhere. Not re-engineer something already there.
One question, when you say "download mine" where do I find yours. None of the ones I've seen through the application say who created them.
mine and others are in the screenshots and themes forum beneath the general discussion.I agree fully with the video and much prefer to read it as I find it more followable,but again I suppose that is my bias too.You can start almost fresh,grab a theme as posted earlier,then delete everything,if the theme uses everything widget this is simple to do,just press screen and choose remove,then change the wallpaper by selecting your own then simply add you own widgets etc via the inbuilt everything widget (although this isn't as stable as it could be) or download widgets from playstore etc then add them,hope this helps apologies if I seem to waffle on.

Hi sanjsrik,
I'm the one who made the YouTube tutorial videos, so I apologize if they weren't that informative. Those were created in the beginning just to give people a basic understanding of what Themer was about.
Alldroid is correct in saying that starting with a fresh blank theme is the best, then just seeing what works and what doesn't. My advice would be learn more about Zooper Widget, as a lot of the newer themes use it, and it's brilliant. That's all Themer is essentially, a wallpaper, some widgets, and maybe some icons if you're feeling brave. We do recommend making the grid size quite large, in order to make the widget resizing easier. you might also notice that the new themes include incredibly detailed icons, these are in fact Zooper fonts, so as mentioned play around with the Zooper widgets found in the new themes.
If you need help/ideas feel free to ask, I'm always here to help!

Marco,
I would definitely go for it... though I am more of a "hands on" student and for learning I need to hear the stuff (that's how I learned all the stuff during college - my wife reading the material and me laying down and just listening - damn, she was so furious when I got the same grades as she did... ;o]]]), the text might help you gain more audience among those "give-me-a-manual-and-shut-up" types.
You have created a superb product for the tinkerers so a step further in the direction of a superb customer/user support would be a definitive nod in the right direction.
I personally would like more short video tutorials on specific features, how they work, what is their purpose and the mechanics (Yeah, you guessed it, I am not that familiar with design and graphics;o]) and maybe a tut on the 'codes' for custom formats of zooper widget.
well and maybe few more videos with theme designers like the one you guys did with GeriArts would also be inspiring... ;o]]]
another definate yes here too thanks,would make it a more better product in my opinion.

I promise I am NOT complaining. I promise I am NOT criticizing. I am just asking the question, WHAT is Themer?
from everything I understand, it's not a true "application", it's a wallpaper that then people can add widgets that "do" things.
if this is the case, HOW are these widgets "locked" where they can't be changed in a lot of the wallpapers I've downloaded.
THAT is my only question.
Oh, and how come there's not a "builder" application for Themer?

No worries we weren't offended by your comments, we're just trying to make everyone's theming experience as easy possible.
Themer is a launcher. Just like TouchWiz, Nova, Apex, ssLauncher, etc. It's a link between the hardware and software, you could think of it as the body/shell of a car. The car can have a different shell, and with Themer, it's shell can be customized in seconds.
Calling it a wallpaper with widgets doesn't really do it justice, as a launcher incorporates your app drawer as well, and maybe some more features arriving soon.
One thing to remember is that Themer, once stripped to its core, it a launcher, just like the rest. By that we mean you're able to edit/add/remove widgets, change wallpapers, change the icons (icon pack support arriving soon), etc. To unlock widgets, hold down on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets. Repeat the process to lock them, or alternatively you can go into the main Themer settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Lock Desktop Widgets.
Whenever the widgets/icons are unlocked, this can be called the "builder" mode, as you can add/remove/edit widgets and icons.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the constructive email.
I think the biggest confusion anyone has with your "application" is that it doesn't seem like an application. It really does sound like a wallpaper with widgets. For example:
* Is there the ability to add groups for grouping together like kinds of applications?
* Can I add my own icons for applications?
Think GoLauncher or some other such "launcher" application that exists.

1. With Themer, you can add in Smart Category folders. For example the Games Category, when you install a new game, it will show up in this category and then whichever theme has a games folder, this new game will automatically appear. This saves a lot of time, but you can also manually add in your own categories or manually add in your own apps to a category.
2. Icon pack support is still limited. If you have icons on the homescreen, these can be edited manually. Some icon packs are supported, but you can also set them to other images in your gallery.

YES! I watched many of the videos and I'm still very much confused. I have specific ideas for what I want, and although I can figure some things out on my own by trial and error, reinventing the wheel is both time-intensive and tiresome.
Also, I am glad to hear that icon pack support is on the list. Although my plans include heavy use off the app drawer, I'd like to have the icons in there be pleasing to my eye as well as the ones on my home screen.
It's a great product, one that I've already suggested to several friends. I just am more demanding than the "average bear".

most icon packs by default don't work with themer,but there is a way round this although you will need to manually change the icons you want to use.
Download apk extractor from Playstore
download the icon packs you want to your device
using apk extractor extract the apk of the icon pack you downloaded,this file will be stored on your device main storage in the apk extrat folder.
Attach your device to your laptop etc,then drag the extracted apk icon pack to it
rename the icon.apk and change the apk extension to zip
open with your favourite zip program
then simply extract the icon file images
