Changing stock Navbar icon dimensions - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I'm currently interested in theming and have started making some icons, however when i insert them into the softkeyz app, they are all scaled wrong?
I have done some reading and discovered the stock dimension in pixels is 240x144. Is there a way to make this bigger?
Some themes from the playstore for my Xperia Z3 seem to have mastered this, as they have the home soft key as text e.g "Xperia"... and its scaled nicely and looks great.
But i cannot seem to achieve this, as they are always too small?
Any ideas?

Milocker themes not fitting screen and Icon spacing

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

Minimalistic Text/Icon set up

Ok I am running Miui with adw launcher ex and I am trying to make a clean theme with minimalistic text. I cannot seem to get the minimalistic text widget to lay flush with the screen however. (see below pic) The right side and the bottom will not lay flush with the screen. I have seen plenty of screens look sooo clean using miui and minimalistic text and adw launcher but I cant for the life of me figure out how to get this set up going. Also it seems that when people make this clean themes that their icons are spaced closer together and I would like to know how to do that to if anyone who customizes their phone in this manner knows how. I would really appreciate and answer at the very least on how to make the widget lay flush with the screen. Any help on these kinds of customizations though are welcome!
Good Luck!
Although I can't help you with the widget touching all sides (I've had that problem, it sucks) I can help you with getting your icons closer together. Some where in the settings of ADW Launcher (Maybe like Homescreen or Icons) In there look for something that says, "Rows and Colums" and adjust them to your liking. On default, most android phones are set up at 4x4.
It's because you are hiding the dock. For whatever reason the alignment is off when the dock is hidden. I've emailed them about it but no reply..

Action Bar : Question regarding a possible modification of the UI

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to modify the layout of every app that are using the official Android Holo theme to move the action bar that is located on the top of the screen to the bottom near the navigation bar. I think of this as a possible mod that could be flashed, but really I don't know if it is possible. I would find this more comfortable since our phones tend to size up and thereby, reaching the opposite corner of the screen with one hand makes me stretch it numerous times a day that I'm afraid of the possible evolution of mankind's hands(or maybe just one)
Thank you
No the positions of that is declared in each app. Doesn't matter what theme they use as that is all holo is. Just some images and color settings.

A Few Things I Noticed Missing

Started getting down and dirty with Themer last night from a designer's standpoint. I know some of these issues can be solved by theming the majority on my home pc, but i wanted to point out some things that are missing that would make pure mobile theming possible/easier (that's what i want out of this or any theming apps. i can easily create the majority of my themes on a pc when going the apex/nova route, but i want to theme strictly on my phone which is what i assume is the main point/appeal of launchers like Themer).
OK, here they are:
1) Icons - I'd like to have control over my icons while theming. Even giving us an option to select from Themer's icons would be nice. As it currently stands, you have to choose icon images from and only from your photo gallery. If we can't import custom icon packs, the ability to select from Themer's icons would be great.
2) Everything Widget "Layers" - This is a great feature, but can be polished. I tried to edit some existing widgets (google play theme, wanted to put my own image/slideshow instead of the random google banner images) and once i put the new image up it covered up the "google now" search bar. There are currently no options or toggles to change layers in the widgets.
3) Layout Issues - When i am working on putting up new widgets the orientation is all wacky. Sometimes it'll stagger the widget grid onto the left or right page, meaning that it isn't centered on the screen i'm working on. makes aligning and tweaking the layout really tough.
That's all i've got now. Any fixes or suggestions are welcome, but i thought it'd be helpful to roll up some of the issues we as themers are having. I REALLY love being able to just throw a new theme on my phone at any given time and the available themes are all nice looking and pretty tight when it comes to performance....i just can't help but adjust and tweak once i get my hands on them >.<

What about SHAPES on theme screens?

I was wondering if themer can allow us to put small pieces of images, or shapes into a screen, to make screens more eye-catching.
Why i´m asking this?
Some themes (like SKY theme) are just GREAT on images, but they uses dividers, ribbons, trays, or boxes, all drawed together with the wallpaper. Some guys, like me can be free to change just the picture, but keep the other graphic elements, shapes and lines that make the theme so interesting.
Other lack of funcionality is that sometimes I try to add a new page to a theme, and we have problems to make it 'similar' to the other ones existent on the theme, due to wallpaper differences and other things... One-click theming is awesome, but some guys cant stand it and go ahead with customizations :cyclops:
Do you themer guys think this might be a good idea or this can be a problem for memory comsumption point.

Have fun, once Zooper Widget also becomes integrated you'll be able to create shapes there too :laugh:
