I was adding a widget to one of the themes and noted how out of place it looked because it had no transparency.
How difficult would it be to add along with the resize option an opacity slider? Would be great to help your 3rd party widgets fit in a bit with the rest of your chosen theme.
Just change the bgcolor of the widget

Hi,
Unfortunately this would mean having full control over the 3rd party widget. For now we'll stick with the widgets that we currently have

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.
That was 2 days ago. It was a standart ROM - 2.21 with blur. Now i got Clean 2.34 blurless Rom jit/deodexd.
Removed zeam for a launcher pro and tweaking it next. Will post a new home screen in a week.
Lockscreen:
widgetlocker with simiclock and minimal theme.

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
After watching the video demoing the Windows 8 tablet I decided to try and recreate as much of the UI as possible.
If this sounds like something you want, you'll need the following apps:
-ADW EX Launcher
-Desktop Visualizer
-Multipicture Live Wallpaper
Optional:
-Palmary Weather Pro
Setup:
-Place the adw_ex_settings.xml file into your /sdcard directory and restore settings in ADW. Or set columns to 9 and rows to 5, make sure you have widgets set to stretch in advanced and turn off wallpaper scrolling.
-Set the wallpaper in Multipicture Live Wallpaper. Or you can try Wallpaper Wizardii if you want, but even though we're only going to be using the one wallpaper I found Multipicture was easier to use.
-Place a shortcut to open/close the app drawer under "Start", use the transparent.png for an icon and delete the text. Then arrange the 2x1 and 1x1 desktop visualizer widgets as you see fit.
*Optional* Modding Palmary Weather Pro:
-Download Apk Manager from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
-Pull the Palmary apk and place it into the modding folder, then run the Apk Manager script and select 1 to unzip the apk.
-Unzip the weather backgrounds and icons (optional) I provided into their respective directories, overwriting the existing files.
-Press 3 to zip it back up and then press 4 to re-sign the apk.
-Install the app and change the background color by choosing different transparencies in Palmary settings.
Please note that if you edit the background png's I provided they will not work afterwards. If you want to add more colors or change the ones I included, you'll have to refer to this guide here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/404-mo...ng-images.html
I hope you like the look, and if you make some new icons or wallpapers please upload them to the thread. If enough new ones get made I'll add them to this post.
Files:
Wtab8_icons - icons, wallpaper, adw settings
Wtab8_psd_fonts - 2x1, 1x1 psd files, Segoe fonts
Wtab8_weather_mod - backgrounds and icons for use with Palmary Weather.
The Palmary icons are still kind of a work in progress, if you live in an area that gets severe weather things can look a bit busy.

You can stop here if you want, but if you want to make the Palmary Weather widget look more like a Windows 8 live tile you'll need to take some additional steps...
First you'll need to download Apk Manager from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
Once you've pulled the Palmary apk, place it into the modding folder and press 1 to unzip the contents into the projects folder, then simply extract the weather backgrounds and icons (optional) into their respective directories. Then press 3 to zip it back up and then press 4 to sign it. Once that's done you can install the app again. Then you can change the background color via the transparency option.
If you want to add more colors or change the ones I included, you'll have to refer to this guide here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/404-mo...ng-images.html

Use the same method used to modify the palmary weather widget on ADW. Once the apk is unpacked, find the icons and make them transparent.

1. I just downloaded Milocker. Looks like it's the one I've been looking for except that the themes in it don't fit my screen. :/ Is there a way around this?
2. Is there a way to edit the icon sizes on the homescreen? Also adjust its spacing (e.g. If I set the homescreen to 3x3, it sets the icons too far apart for my liking)
Thanks in advance!
1. Search Milocker for LDPI
2. Instructions vary as per your launcher.. but you can change the number of rows and columns on screen to bring them closer of move apart(I am not sure but you can't do this on touchwiz)
what is ldpi? i'm new

Hello guys, is there is an app for unrooted galaxy SIII, that enlarge the icons that already exists on the phone? I don't want an app to choose manually the icons, I need something to activate it then all of the icons are bigger, or the font, so bigger font or bigger icons, font is the most important.
Not sure about icons but is there not a setting to have large text in "accessibility" settings? There is on AOSP roms. Also magnification gestures.

Install nova launcher prime, you can scale icons with that +/- 25%
There are't any apps which makes the existing icons bigger however you can use third party launcher's like apex nova etc to make the icons bigger and if you don't want to loose touchWiz look you can download a touchWiz theme for these launchers and you are good to go.........................Here' the links for launcher and theme..

Actually this is pretty simple. With the lockscreen up just slide the clock to the right. A new screen with a big plus sign should appear that you should press. You'll have to use whatever method you normally use to unlock your screen at this point. Add whatever widget you want. Delete the circle clock (just drag it up to the trashcan), and then slide the widget you really want over. QED.
There are some 3rd party apps in the Play Store that will change your lockscreen (Like Go Locker, iOS7 Lockscreen, Widget Locker, Android L LockScreen etc). You generally have to disable your lockscreen by selecting "None" from the Select screen lock setting found in Settings>Lockscreen
I personally don't like these as they have to constantly have to run in the background but they are there
Henri made a great suggestion though, stock Android allows you to customize the lockscreen a lot now by adding widgets and whatnot
