LauncherPro Icon Pack?

Is there a way to download those LauncherPro icons as a pack instead of downloading them individually? The only reason I ask is because More Icons Widget only allows you to apply a custom icon if its from a pack, and I haven't found a gray/white icon pack that it that nice and complete. Thanks in advance.
Did you even Google or Search the damn site before posting? I mean for Christ's Sake what is wrong with you people? Can't even do a damn Search. Learn how to do shiz on your own man. Jesus Christ. Why do people post STUPID questions in the Development Section? Why do people Post Questions without Searching? When will you learn? Sorry, I'm in a bad mood and need to vent.

That's good, you know how to search, but apparently you don't know how to read.
The OP is asking if those icons come in an icon pack for use with the more icons widget app. He never asked where he can download the individual icons.
To the OP, I haven't seen any packs for those icons yet, so you might want to check on how to pack them yourself so you could use them with the more icons widget app.
So zip them... never mind.

Hello and welcome to the XDA Forum. At first i think you had to read the threads there are always much info´s.
Theme, Slider and etc mostly are .cab files. Thes .cab files you put on your storage card and then tab on it. After tab on it, it will be install the theme or slider.
And after restart you device you shoule see it.
And here we have an question and answer thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=694
I think here you should find information to.
Hope this helps a little bit. Have Fun

How do you redesign themes that are made by others

I wanted to know if there is a program that can do what you guys are talking about. I would like to make my own themes with themes made by other people. If the is no program then where would one start. Thx in advanced.
Ok I don't want to piss people off but how can I make a theme. Where do I start, is there a program to help you make themes instead of copying off of people. That's what I really like to know.
What mind of theme are you talking about? There are different methods for different types of themes.
I think u just need Photoshop and u have to edit the images then repack them to the zip for install just be sure u don't lose where the icons are placed and don't rename them... I think.... but I have no idea "/
CM7 wtf else....
Well I'm talking about themes poeple make that are in android market. I dont know what type of themes they are. Forgive me I'm new to android, I had a iPhone 4 and used winspc to change themes other people made on cydia.
Now do you just got to only use Photoshop cuz I use gimp is it the same.
You can use any image editing software. Read this thread. It pertains to the same thing that you are trying to do. You will use almost the exact same process to edit themes made by others.
Like the previous posters have mentioned, Photoshop or Gimp photo editor which is free would be your best bet, if you wanna make your own designs... If you want to theme your home screen using other people's work visit this thread, might help you out a bit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901649
It also has an instruction on how to change the icons after you make the design
Good luck!
If you use anything that is not yours, ask first. A lot of time goes into making a theme (even a not-so-good one) and I've seen too many people just say "credit goes to blah blah" but never asking. Please be considerate of the work of others.
As for actual theming it all depends on what you are theming. Some apps (launchers and widgets mainly) have built in theme functionality and should have a guide specific for them. Theming a ROM is a lot more time intensive and involves decompiling frameworks, setting up development tools, dealing with many possible problems, hoping compiling works, being frustrated about forgetting something, testing, etc. etc.
good info was looking for something very similar
Is making a them for a stock MT4G that uses the theme installer different than those made for custom ROMs?
It seems the androidian theme is the only one that can be installed and used on a stock MT4G. I'd love to see that exact theme with the green replaced by a dark gray.

Icon Search Engine

Ok, so... here's me posting my first thread EVER in XDA.
I recently stumbled-upon this website that lets you search somewhere to find all sorts of icons. There are some filters you can use to help narrow down your search like licenses and size and such... I feel like if you want to customize your phone this at least makes it easier to find new icons if you don't like your old ones

questions or comments ask here!
or i guess you can pm me.....
EDIT: spelling XP
Awesome. Thanks
No problem

How to edit a global theme?

I downloaded over a dozen themes from Samsung app on my S7, but just a couple of theme change the foreground and background colors of quick settings buttons, which is all I need. But those themes also change dozens of other things which I want unchanged!
How can I create my own theme and edit fore and back colors of quick icons?
Is it also possible to change shape of such icons without rooting?
You create your own themes by learning how. Loads of links here to help you get started. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41820200&postcount=2
One help is better than 1 thousand words (or links).
Your post doesn't help at all, it's just a link to a hundred links.
It helps by giving you links to the info you need. We don't spoon feed here. You will have to put in your own work to figure it out.
In the end you will have to make your own theme.
"I don't know" or "I don't want to help you, it's up to you" would have been more appropriate replies and would have saved band and disk space.
If you are looking for hand holding or spoon feeding then you came to the wrong place. This is a developers forum which means no one will really help you until you help yourself first.
My post should help anyone wanting to learn how to make mods and if you really wanted to learn you'd be spending time reading those links to guides and how-tos as well as the OP of the thread they are posted in and asking more questions instead of turning your nose up at those trying to help.
