OK, I thought it might look good with the smaller text icons you were using, but I guess not. If I have any other ideas I'll post something up.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, so don't completely scrap the idea. It might just need a few tweaks. My main worry is some of the longer names not fitting. I'll test it real quick and edit this post in a few minutes.
Not having any issues with the icons not fitting (yay
), however I don't have any way of centering the text icons in the boxes (even if they were smaller, I don't think it would look "right" (can't think of a better word). ShootMe is being stubborn right now, so I can't get a screenshot, the icons are pretty much at the bottom of the boxes maybe a few pixels higher.

Damn, I wondered about that. From the screenshot I had from you that looked like an issue, but I assumed there was a little wiggle room allowed for proper icon placement (I don't use any home replacement/launchers). Got any ideas how to make it work, or should I scrap that idea?

No I don't sadly, LauncherPro doesn't allow you to move icons up or down on the dock, so there isn't anyway to offset that. :/

have you thought bout taking the icons into like paintshop pro or something and just moving the text itself in a blank icon square? so it doesnt sit central anymore..

Yeah I did think of that, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to modify the already existing icons. The only reason I'm worried about that is because I paid for the dock/icons and I'm not sure if they have any license restrictions on them. Could just be paranoia, but I would rather not mess with them, just in case.

I haven't found any others that I like. :/
Assuming I would be allowed to alter the icons, I would have to change a good few and then tweak them to make sure they fit properly. Right now with exams coming up and other stuff I have to do, my schedule is relatively limited as far as having "free time".
I know I can't send the icons to Eyebeam (or anyone else) though, so that eliminates that option too. :/
Whenever you have time, would you do a couple more in a red and a soft blue? Same floral background, I love that touch! thank you so much for taking your time to do all these for everyone!!!

OK I'm just about to start on your last request. I should have it done in a while. I'm still not sure it'll look great - the best way to do it would be to attach the dock to the wallpaper, thus eliminating having the whole dock usable in a scrolling wallpaper set-up - but I'll do the best I can.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@ Toasty -
After Dean's, I'll see if I can tweek that dock down some in the .png so the text icons you like will work. Maybe stretch the boxes vertically. Maybe also done tonight...
And no, I wouldn't want to screw with those icons if the creator would disapprove.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@ cynbad -
Got it. Your up after these 2. If insomnia hits, maybe tonight, but most likely tomorrow. Check back.

Does that about cover everything pending?

eye beam is there anyway you can edit the pic you did for me with andy, so he looks like he's trying to eat the dock?
I use the "froyo" dock with LauncherPro...its the small 3 icon dock length..
if you can that would be awesome
OK dean, give this a try and let me know how it goes.

That might be possible, but before we dick around changing a whole slew of icons, where I'd be blindly guessing the correct positioning, let's try this first.
Here's a version that sits lower in the .png frame. I'm not sure how LP will handle this, but give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Alrighty cynbad, here you go. I'm partially color blind, and the Eyebette/color consultant has gone to bed, so let me know if I got the hues wrong.

Aww, I hate to say it but yes, that looks like red-Orange and lavender to me. I'm keeping them though!!! No hurry at all.

Eyebeam, don't mean to hijack your thread.... I just want to take a minute to give you a shout out. It's been almost a year since you started this thread. You made yourself available to the Android community and have NEVER asked for anything in return.
A lot of people out there ask for donations for their services, you on the other hand are selfless with your work and always willing to help out, not necessarily on this thread but many others.
I take my hat off to you and your work. You're a true gentleman and a scholar.
Cheers!!

I'll give it a try. What I need from you is a full size screen shot of your center screen on that wallpaper version without the Android. That way I can grab a clean cut of your dock to work with.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds easy enough. Give me a bit and check back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn it! I knew it wasn't quite right. I'll get those done this evening, when the Eyebette gets home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the interest of full disclosure, I did hit MahaloCat up for a stay at his Hawaiian beach place.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could help me with this please?
OK, I'm on it. Shouldn't be any problem so check back in a while.

Ok the kid, Here ya go. Hope that's what you had in mind. Let me know what you think.
To save it in full 960x800 resolution, use the download button on the linked page or the share button to email it to an address accessible on your phone, then save the attachment. If your phone wont save it full size, or it looks fuzzy, download and save it with a computer, then USB or email the full sized version to your phone.

you also mean WITHOUT the app icons too? so its a CLEAN dock totally over the wallpaper?

I think you'll want the icons on there as well, but I'm not sure what'll work best for you. How 'bout one with, one without, and I'll do two versions so you can decide what works best for you.
I also need to know if you want it sized for one screen 480x800 or full size 960x800.
