Hey guys.
Just thought I'd share a few classic rock wallpapers I made. Nothing special at all, but they look pretty good on the phone, and they are optimized for desktops with a large widget such as Sense(like) clock.

mmmmmm.... very nice!
Thanks HG!
Any chance you would do one for Phish? All black with the small colored logo? probably not your style, but I would be very grateful.
Sure man.
I am a bit of a Dead Head, but have never really listened to Phish. I'll have to check 'em out.
Let me see what I can whoop up.

What color did you want the background to be? Do you want it a gradient that fades to white?
Thanks Sean. BTW, Floyd is my all-time favorite group.
D'OH!!! I just read your original post. Working on it now.
Love the zepplin one might a get a it from you?

Yeah man! You should be able to just save it from my original post. Just right click and save. If that doesn't work out, let me know and I'll e-mail it to ya.
Just saw you were in Asheville. I'm in Raleigh. Asheville is the best city, ever.
Phish is amazing. I've seen them 54 times, and that is not nearly enough.
All black, pitch black background, with a small colorful phish logo. I'll try and find one:
http://drygoods.phish.com/Product.aspx?cp=773_6268&pc=PHAS06
it would be awesome multicolored, but red would be cool too.
Awesome man!
Ok...Here's a first attempt. Don't be shy to tell me if you don't like it. I'll keep at it if we need to.
Yeah, Asheville ROCKS man. Especially if you like good a music scene.
Guys, I would also use a wallpaper applying app like Wallpaper Set and Save, so that the image will not be stretched or compressed.
Wallpaper Set and Save
These wallpapers look better on the phone, than they do in a browser preview.
Holy $hit, that's EXACTLY what I had in my mind.
Only thing I could say current, which is beyond you, it's the piv, it's not the highest quality, and the upper left corner looks lifted up. Again, that's just because the poor images online.
Can't believe how spot on you were with what I was looking for, nice work man.I'm rocking it now.

Hey mbrando, update the first post- that way we don't have to look all over the thread for the wallpapers. Makes it easier for everyone [also for people that like your work to follow you too!]
Just a suggestion.
Haha...Right on. Let's keep searching for a better logo and I'll hook it up. When you say the corner is lifted up, do you mean by the bubbles? I think that's the 2nd row of bubbles? Not sure tho.
I attached the logo I used. Let me know. I am hard headed enough to keep at it 'til it's what you wanted.
Glad you like!
Thanks HG. Will do. I'm still a nit of a n00b. I welcome the wisdom.
My brother has Dell streak and i recently got him rooted and onto 2.2 (as it comes with 1.6). We then started to make his phone sexy, since hes jealous of mine. We found a thread that quite honestly made me jealous. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899879) I want to know if some of the talented minds on our thread can make such a thing.

All of that should be fully compatible with our phones. It's just Desktop Visualizer with a custom wallpaper. It is really cool looking though.

Gotcha. Well definately not me . I don't really do artistic....my theming is more fundamental changes Tonic probably would have been your best option, but honestly I'm not sure if he's developing anymore or not.
Great find. Too bad I prefer portrait mode over landscape but this has inspired me to do something similar in portrait view.

That would be hot. Thats more or less what im looking for. The Vibrant is majorly a portrait phone, as for the Streak is a landscape phone. I was inquiring if an artist could make a walpaper (portrait style) for our phones so the same type scheming could be achieved.
Not to hijack the thread. But what's going on with tonic? His work was awesome.

What exactly are you wanting to do just make wallpapers like this? Or a pre made theme with everything set up?

It looks like they just changed the icons of the apps to be transparent then applied a wallpaper that already said the app names on it. I would love to do this but its tough to do without a Dell Streak. :/

My goal is to have a similar type wallpaper, several if I may, so that I could apply my own icons. (Transparent) and use just one home screen. But as you can see, these are huge and landscape.

I have a friend that is pretty good at photoshop and will give it a shot for me. The problem that I see on this though is you will not be able to have more than one screen to move between or non of the icons will line up when you move to an alternate screen. What apps do you want listed on it? Do you just want the wallpapers from the other thread formatted to fit the vibrant screen? Let me know so I can pass it on.

I wouldnt mind having only one home screen. So long as the general things are avaiable. (Dialer, Gmail, Market, Messaging, Web) a PLUS would be to also have a File Browser section and a Music section along wih a gallery. but these are not essential. The wallpapers from the other thread are landscape and not really for the vibrant. so to resize them would look odd. Anything original is ok. im not picky. i just thought it would be a good idea to introduce these to the vibrant.

Actually... not entirely accurate. You can use the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from the Market (free), and assign a specific wallpaper to each screen. You can use the same basic wallpaper with different app text locations, or different ones. Once you set up the screens you want, then add the trans icons, and boom, multiple screens with the same basic idea as what the OP had in mind.

That's true I forgot about that live wallpaper. But I will give him the info and have him start working on them. Not sure how long it will take bit I'll put some pressure on him to not lolly gag around ;P. It might take a few days but I will post an update in a few days.

Any Word from your friend?
im gonna give this a try..
As per title.
Even my monochrome tastes are a little bored with a plain black lockscreen, now I'd like some grey in the mix.
Looking for photos - cityscapes, nature, nothing too abstract.
Trawled through zedge, interfacelift and a few others, not found anything great and/or 480x800.
Any tips much appreciated.
D'oh... this probably should have gone in the themes & apps section, right?
Thanks to any mod who wishes to move it.
I got a few picture but I just do a search in google and download them
Great tip, thanks....
Of course I've bloody done that, and am still doing so. It's haphazard and very time-consuming, and I'm looking for a dedicated site.
Well when it comes to backgrounds and wallpapers. I use interfacelift.com
Not sure if they have a category with just B/W images but have a look.

Cheers

Just convert a nice photo to B&W ... you can even do that with the SGS2's photo editor

Has the most random pictures for wallpaper. Its some very unique stuff on this website. Anything you could possibly ask for is on this website. Check it out.
Personally for all my wallpaper needs I go to [URLhttp://www.wallbase.cc[/URL].
Not sure if they carry specific BW stuff, but they definitly have variety.
Thanks to everyone for the tips, I'll get searching (clean forgot deviantart, and have been a member there for years ).
No easy way to do it, I'll just keep clickin'.
I've looked high and low to find the wallpaper I used to have on my NC. It's mainly a white coffee cup with maybe a drop falling into it. I can't remember where I got it, but I have checked all the usual suspects. It might have been from the Nook where it offered to "download more" in the wallpaper section. It is definitely not in the market or zedge. I have seen one similar, but not the one I had. I have looked through a lot of threads here also.
If anyone has it or knows where I can get it, I'd appreciate it.

Close, but still looking. I wish I could remember where I got it sometime last year. I think it would have been either one of those "download more" options on the device or at zedge.net (and it's no longer there).

You have very specific coffee cup tastes! I change my wallpaper images often enough that close is good enough.
Easy enough to resize any that you like for the NC screen if all else fails. I did that with some of my old Heavy Metal magazine covers... until I got bored and changed them.

I know. Sounds a little compulsive doesn't it. I change mine around also, but got to thinking about that old Nook one I really liked and went on a quest. I did go with the black ?something? hd2 one mentioned above, and it looks good.
How do you resize them? I think the size I need for me device is about 1600 x 1200, but not sure. It's Samsung Galaxy Note.

The scrollable wallpaper images for the NOOK Color are 840x1024, 600x1024 for non-scrollable, IIRC. I have no idea what a SGN uses.
Any graphics program that can create a jpg or png image of the appropriate dimensions should work. I've used basic Windows Paint for simple cut & paste images, mostly to get an image centered at the correct size. Use gimp or photoshop if you're after something complex.
The NOOKs ship with a top-down view of a coffee cup at the top right and a scone mid-left, all on a dark wood tabletop. There's a B&N Cafe napkin under the cup. That's not the one you're after, is it?

Thanks very much for the sizing info. As it turns out, the one I said was the closest turns out to be the exact one. I came across a photo of the Nook when I sold it on eBay, and that was it!

I have been looking for that image for a while. I have scoured my Nook Color and have only been able to find the 210x256 thumbnail image. Do you know where on the Nook Color it is stored, or where I can find the full image file? I would like to use it as my wallpaper on my Moto Xoom. Thanks!

Well, I found it. I swear I have been searching both the Nook and the web for the last year, but something about posting in a forum triggers the creative problem solving juices. Must be some hidden desire to make myself look stupid.
For the record, the file is called "Cafe.png" and is found in "/system/media/wallpapers". I could not see that folder for some reason when mounting on my computer, but I was able to find it using Astro and email it to myself. Sorry for not figuring it out before posting.
I'm looking through the themes and wow...all of you have done some impressive work. I'm looking for something a little simple though. I just want to get rid of all the ugly white backgrounds in the settings, email, contacts etc. Most importantly the email and settings screens. I don't use the contacts screen too much and I don't use the stock messaging app either.
I think I can snag the dark Google play apk from another theme in here so that's done already. If you have any tips on how I can change these colors (invert black to white and white to black) on the few HTC skins that would be great. Not scared at all to get my hands dirty as I'm a programmer/developer for my day to day job. Just haven't done much in the android scene.

What file do you have to edit to get the text message white background to black?
I have searched everywhere for this and cant find anything other than pnemonia theme. I love the theme dont get me wrong god knows the hours it took to go through everything to do that and he went through em all! It is perfect if you like the color. Kinda like a sports car. Who doesnt like a ferrari but what color everyone will pick a different one. Ive never made a theme before and working 60 hrs a week and barely can keep stuff updated. I have vacation in a month and i may just read up on it and make one. Maybe i could ask cho or timberwolf for few pointers for lil donation on mikmik. Timberwolf prolly knows as much as anyone on themes for the latest roms. Black is my fav but I just settle for blue. I just want something simple. No fancy icons, just black backgrounds with white letters. Matte clock and such. Ive got few new skins i found but i had nothing to do with any part in making em nor do i know who did and i dunno rules on that? Dont wanna make anyone mad without asking to post there stuff. Do a search for blue matte, drop dead red and black HD skins and to whoever made em tyvm love them!
