Hello, excuse me if I post this in the wrong section I am new to this forum.
I would like to know some things about the advanced modifying of GoLauncher themes, or basically android themes in general.
Is there any way to edit the dock on the home screen of a theme to place it somewhere else on the screen and have the ability to make it slide out or pop up from somewhere? I know how to do the graphical side of this but I need a little push in the right way for the programming bit. I do know how to decompile, compile and sign apk files.
Thanks in advance,
Qab
(Might as well ask it here since I did not recieve any reply in the theme section).

I believe that this is the right place to post this request.
Whenever I select a text box or a flash item in the browser is flashes a yellow color.
I hate it and i want it to leave! It seems like the item is freezing and it is ugly.
Can it be removed somehow? I believe it can on be done the hard way!
wrong section & this is normal.

wrong section. but to answer your question, flash a theme that changes the colors in the web browsing...
Is it a theme thing? I'm sorry I thought that it was something deeper.
It's not only the browser but also the text boxes.
i have to disagree to you guys. afaik this has nothing to do with themes, it's just the yellow border which marks links and everything else in the browser. it's right in the development board. i can understand that you don't like it, i personally don't really care about it...
i'm pretty sure this can be done by any developer. but not by me, my android skills are very weak
maybe some dev picks this up...
This is definitely a theme issue. You need to edit a. 9.png, either in framework-res or the Browser.apk. Those are a huge pain to edit, but you can change the color, or make it transparent if you want to get rid of it altogether. I'm no themer, but I think if it's totally transparent you can cheat and skip the complicated part of preparing the. 9.png before you push it. Or you might be able to just delete it altogether. I'm sure if you post this over in that section you'll find an answer from somebody who knows better than me.
Firstly, I am using Mik's rom.. with pngs modified to my liking.. I have also searched around quite extensively for getting my questions answered.. but without any success.
I have been trying to mod the rosie launcher and am running into a few issues.
1. I can mod the icons pretty easily.. no problems there.. I can also remove the text "Phone" from the center icon.. but phone image is a little off center plus it is vertically offset (shifted a little up). I was told I can play around with the png image file and get that fixed.. however.. I am wondering if there is an xml file in particular that defines the x and y co-ordinates of the launcher icons. So yea.. I am verse with adb, decompiling, recompiling etc.
2. I am looking for a way to get the phone on the left and app drawer in the center.. any guidance with regards to this will be of great help to me. I am guessing this is somewhere in the smali files in Rosie.odex. I have decompiled it resulting in a bunch of smali files.. can someone tell me which particular one I am supposed to edit?
3. Wanting to know if there is any way to add a 4th button to the rosie launcher instead of the usual 3.
Again, I am looking for the know-how... NOT just a mod that I can apply via flashing.
I appreciate anyone who can direct me to a tutorial or a guide.
Thanks.
wow.. not a single reply!... I guess I would have gotten at least a few responses if I had posted this in the development section.
Grab one of my Rosie mods on theMikMik. It has the phone on the left and app drawer in the middle. grab one of those and mod it to your liking

Thanks.. but like I said "Again, I am looking for the know-how... NOT just a mod that I can apply via flashing.""
I want to know which xml files require the editing etc. I am surprised there are no Rosie Guides anywhere that explain which xml/smali files are commonly involved the typical mods.
I've recently gotten into creating my own theme\skin and I've been having some luck making some mods thus far. The only issue i'm running into right now is finding the .pngs (.9.png) for the launcher buttons (apps, phone, personalize, background). Which apk are the files located in? Also, what are the image names I should focus on?
I appreciate all the responses and TIA!
Go into,Google and search for 'm10 editor xda forums' you will have all the info you want. Don't be afraid to go into other forums for idea...such as the sensation.
I'm working on creating my own Launcher Icons. How can I place them in an installable pack? As they are now, I have to save the images and then custom replace each one. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth when I feel like changing my theme.
I've been searching the forums and google for some help with this, but I can't seem to find anything that truly answers my question.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
On the plus side, the icons are coming out very nicely!

Check this out, not sure if this is what you're looking for though.

Thanks! It's a start! I use ADW so maybe there's a similar process.
i can suggest you a method to make a swappable theme.
Take an unused adwtheme.apk and edit it, changing the /res/drawable-hdpi .png icons you 'd like to use
Re-zip it and resign it (or simply drag an drop in the original apk i guess)
It worked for me. I can apply the icons using the adw option in themes, selecting iconpack only. And simply swap icons by applying another theme iconpack the same way
Hope it can help.

Hi all,
So I'm using the theme simple glass.and I want to make a few changes to the original icon set on the home screen. Since these are shortcuts, they point to an icon image but I am having a terrible time finding where they are stored. So if you can help with that that would be great. The follow up question would be: do most designers include a broader icon set or just the ones they used? Which would then lead me to ask where to find the rest.
I know these are basic questions but I am just starting down this particular road and need to get some beginner crap out of the way. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your enthusiasm, and glad to have you on board. Themer's icons aren't really stored, they are built into the app. Frustrating but this is to prevent users stealing the icons that are from other designers.
For the icons, unfortunately the designer who created the icons has now removed them. After much searching, the only result we could find was this one here. The only problem is that it's a paid icon pack, and we can't guarantee that the pack will look the same.
Sorry about that!

Thanks Marco. I think I have it figured out. I am hunting through some icon sets for Everything Widget. Just need to find one I like. Great app!
