What Does Your Epic 4G Screen Look Like?

Another home screen Ive been working on today.

OK, those pixel numbers you gave me work much better with the auto-fit option selected. Thanks!!!

Here's my second screen with the new settings (I'll get to the main screen this afternoon):

Definitely looks cool. It's obvious that you spent some time digging through images to get the right ones. My only suggestion (keep in mind I'm a bit OCD) is to throw a little bit of a drop shadow on the text to help it stand out a little more. The slim font does get a little lost on some of the icons.

Overall, awesome work! If you get time (and if you don't mind), make sure you throw the icons up on the Android7 Theme thread and add them to the collection. I'm sure plenty of other people would love to use them.

I thought about adding the drop shadow, but I used picnik to edit all the icons. It doesn't have (unless I'm an idiot, which is entirely possible) the option to add drop shadows.

I use Photoshop myself, but GIMP seems to be a good free alternative. It does a lot of the same things as Photoshop. It even reads PSD files.
 
Rooted on Froyo DK28 with the Gingerbread theme 1.9 on midNIGHT 3.2 ROM and running a themed version of LauncherPro that can be found here.

Takes some getting used to, but once you do you'll see that the official twitter app for android blows chunks. Sorry, I just can't stand it...hated it from the first time I used it and was thrilled when someone told me about Seesmic. Then I found Plume and it was over!

And for some reason my pic is no longer in my post. Here's my simple home screen.

I hate that LauncherPro doesn't put the LauncherPro app drawer icon in their list to select from. The logo looked good with my old wallpaper but it doesn't look as clear with this one for some reason so I want to go back, but can't without completely uninstalling and then reinstalling LauncherPro. Not gonna do that...too lazy.
