Lol I was bored and I decided to make a Legend Icon.
Get paint.NET to pc. Take own screenshot of homescreen (eg ShootMe) and resize it to 145 pixels in width.
Now it should fit right in
Very nice, are you are able to post a link to your icons too, from the screenshot you posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7420128&postcount=27
Those icons I got from Icon Pack - Minimum for Bettercut.

I'd like to start a thread to collect Defy's screenshots with a small description of the used apps; I'll start with mine:
From left to right: left home screen - main home screen - right home screen - lockscreen.
App used for home screens: launcher pro free edition.
App used for lockscreen: widgetlocker.
Widgets: DigitalClock, CircleBattery, CalWidget, SnowStorm, SMSUnreadCountClassic, Widgetsoid.
As you can see I love minimalism .
Feel free to post yours!
PS: in order to capture screen images you need to root the device (which is easy using z4root) and any of the free screenshot apps from the market.
Here's mine.

set the slider action to no slider, then, with a blank screen select custom slider and then just set up the slider options in a different place.

Install a customized widget locker =))
or you can customize, and use your own graphics.
You can get one here: tap me.
I use one named minimal.
If you just want to change the icon use a program called desktop visualizer its free

I think that deffo gets top prize for minimalism lol
Didnt quote for image length.
Its clean and tidy If there was a way to make the top bar black with the clocked removed i would keep it but untill i find a way to do it i will stick with no bar >)
if you don't want it all black like jboogie's you need to make your own theme, but you will also need his services.jar to change the font
Hey all,

hi
nice WP
i would suggest you just copy it to your device and set it with an app like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.juggler.CropWallpaper
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lvcm9tby5hdXRvbWF0aWNzZXR0aW5nd2FsbHBhcGVyIl0.
good luck !
Thanks
it worked, love the wallpaper!
Now I just need to find a transparent icon. The one I have is not completely transparent because I can see them.
transparent icon for what app ?
something like this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad
To put icons on top of the wallpaper
Took a screenshot, you can clearly see that the transparent icon I have isn't really transparent.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aiy6av6pi5wt2vs/Screenshot_2012-11-06-11-36-55.png
i guess your'e talking about the dock icons.
first you need to create a transparent icon, i would suggest photoshop but the most important thing is to save the file as PNG oppose to GIF\JPG.
other thing is to make sure you have a launcher which supports it.
Hello, I'm using a theme called MiuiOrangeFree, and it looks awesome. However there's a problem. On the home screen and app drawer there are still blue lines, which are really visible and look ugly.
I'm using CM10.
The first blue line is the horizontal slider near the bottom of the screen of the home screen. The one that separates the app drawer and 4 buttons from the rest of the screen(a thin line).
The second one is the horizontal slider in the app drawer, on the very bottom of the screen, and on the top, the blue line separating the "apps & widgets" from the app icons.
If somebody could do this for me, I would be really grateful, as I plan to use this theme all the time.
I can also do it myself if you can tell me how to do it. I never really did any of this, but I'd like to learn it someday.

Can anyone recommend a application that you can use in place of setting a wallpaper the stock way. I have tried Wallpaper Wizardrii which allows me to crop the picture the way I would like, but I still get a black bar on the bottom and the wallpaper doesn't extend behind the notification bar. Any help is appreciated as this is incredibly annoying.
The big thing is to make sure your wallpaper is the right dimensions
Slithered from my HTC One X+
This is incredibly annoying on HTC Sense. It doesn't support scrollable wallpapers, it doesn't rotate into landscape mode (without a mod) so then why does it insist that I need to crop a perfectly fine 720x1280 image that should otherwise fit the screen just fine?
What apps do you use to force such an image as a wallpaper, without any gratuitous cropping? I just want a static image on all the screens, no scrolling, I don't care for landscape.
What about a fancier setup with a different static image on each screen? Possible with Sense, without using a different launcher?
I've tired multiple apps but none of them seem to work long term. The "solution" I've come up in the mean is making a Photoshop file with the dimensions of the phone in landscape mode and putting the image I would like add the wall paper in the center. Then save the file as a jpeg and download it to your phone. I don't really consider this as a "solution" as it should not take this much work to apply a simple wallpaper. For now this is the best I could come up with.

Try "Simple Image Wallpaper Free".
It works great for me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ridgelineapps.simpleimagewallpaper&hl=de
What I use to apply images as wallpaper is an app called image 2 wallpaper. It's a free app and it's pretty good I hate how the stock wallpaper app does this weird zoom and splits the wallpaper 3 ways. Idk it's weird so I use that app and I'm pretty much happy with it

I played with it a bit and it seems the key here is that at least when using Sense, the required wallpaper size is 1440x1280. Yes, that's 2 x 720 (the screen width). I'm guessing that's to allow for scrolling across screens and for landscape mode for launchers that support it. I looked at the stock Jelly Bean wallpapers and they are also exactly 1440x1280. Note that other launchers may have other size requirements and they have their own options to allow scrolling the wallpaper or not. The stock Sense launcher does not scroll the wallpaper or allow landscape and it has no preference to enable it.
So if you have an image that's exactly 720x1280 (as I tried to initially use), what apps such as Image2Wallpaper do is turn it into 1440x1280 by padding it with a solid color (border). You can play with the options and set a white border color for example and then save the image from Image2Wallpaper and look at it, it will be obvious what is going on. Of course, you can do all this yourself in a photo editing application and then set the wallpaper via the stock Gallery, making sure the crop rectangle is fully expanded.
I haven't tried "Simple Image Wallpaper" yet, that may work in a different way as it's implemented as a live wallpaper. I wonder if there's any impact on CPU and battery with using such an app as opposed to a static image.
There's also MultiPicture Live Wallpaper which allows cycling through an album and has plugin for some online services such as Picasa.
Bottom line is that the native wallpaper format is 1440x1280. Here are some nice ones in this size to get you started:
http://euphoricarythmia.com/showthread.php?t=31291
Image2Wallpaper is also valuable to see what the wallpaper and true screen size a device claims to have. Hit the "Info" option in the menu. E.g.:
HOX+:
Wallpaper size: 1440x1280 (with HTC Sense launcher)
Screen: 720x1280
Nexus 7:
Wallpaper size: 1406x1280 (with stock JB 4.2.2 launcher)
Screen: 800x1205
Weird numbers for the N7, I'm guessing because of the soft buttons menu bar.
Landscape Wallpaper is decent if you want to get scrolling wallpapers with the stock Sense launcher.
Here's what I settled on after playing with wallpapers for a couple of days:
Image2Wallpaper: the best app I found for dealing with static images. It has just the right options and lets you save a correct size image that you can later on set via a different app.
Landscape Wallpaper: great if you want scrollable wallpapers with HTC Sense launcher. Not perfect because of the Sense limitations, but good enough if you must have scrollable wallpapers.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper: great app if you have a bunch of wallpapers and want to switch between them quickly to see what they look like (all you have to do is double-tap the screen in an empty area while your device is "live"). Also nice because you can set it to automatically change your wallpapers if you like that style of random wallpapers every few hours.
Every other app I've seen mentioned and I tried was not worth keeping installed.
I hope this helps someone. Unfortunately the only way to really understand how wallpapers work is to play with them for a bit.
I know the wallpapers that come with the phone are full screen (status bar included)
Can we download more of these types?
I notice when I try a Jelly Bean wallpaper it brings back the black status bar. it kind of makes the screen look a bit smaller that way
There is a mod here somewhere here that let's you use any wallpaper

depending on the launcher you use it may also have an option to turn on transparent status bar.
Any luck on this
