I know you said that you "sussed" this whole thing, but I just thought that I would let you know why the 50's icons may not work for you. They were created for the DROID Eris, which has practically half the resolution of your device. So, even if the image would place in the widget, it would probably be distorted or incorrectly spaced.

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy has a resolution of 480x800. Just look for icons with that resolution listing (like all of the ones I posed for the Incredible) and they should place correctly.

Also, I find that Astro File Manager works really well for selecting the images for Desktop Visualizer. It shows a thumbnail of the image as well as the files name- this way you can make sure the image you're selecting is the same as the widget size you're creating.

Don't give up on it! It's super cool when it's done!

Thanks Paul

it must be something about his settings or if he is starting out creating a 3x1 desktop icon and then choosing a 2x1 scaled image

thats why i changed my resized image filenames to reflect the proper resolution, so if you choose a 2x1 Desktop Virtualization Widget, you should then be sure you choose a png with a 2x1 in it's name, otherwise weird things will happen

heres my Fascinate using the very images i resized along with your original ones Paul, they play nice together now after i resized them

I see some of the images are fairly self-explanatory, but for the majority of them I can't tell what label you would be looking for.

I can resize them for you, but if you need me to do the labels, too, I'm going to need to know what you want them to say.

Not so much a design question but could you tell me what app you use for Xbox Live? Or is it just a link to xbox.com??

I've been wanting to use an Xbox app for a while but would prefer to use one that I can trust as they require my Windows Live id etc....

Cheers

Still got one more home screen to work on, but I couldn't find any good picture to use. So, here what I have so far, some of icons are from paulmz of course. I loving it! Almost feel like I have a NEW phone! =D Thanks again paulmz!

By the way... anyone have good picture to use for Engadget and CNET ? :p

Any chance you could share all the images you used? Yours is the best looking one I've seen.

Ive created my own icons using your tutorial, for example my 4 x 1 i set it to 470 x 125 as stated. But my own personal icons tend to come out smaller then the other icons of the same size ive downloaded from others. I own a samsung galaxy epic. Help (:?

It took me a while to get around to doing this (and figuring out how to do it):



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I took the SMS Unread Count widget and changed the icon png's using APK Manager. The counters work and the widgets link to their respective apps (gmail, sms, phone).

NOTE: I did not write this app. All I did was change the icon images for an existing app. If this app does not work for any reason, I apologize in advance for not knowing how the app works or how to fix it. Please (1) try downloading the original app as linked above and (2) contact the developer of the original app with any problems.

I only have this done for the Incredible so far... and only in blue. The size of the icons should also work well with any 480x800 resolution device.

Here's the APK for it: View attachment 14260

Let me know what you think. I can probably change the colors and sizes later. Maybe even find other widget apps I can butcher to go with the look.

We'll see!

Thanks paulmz for all your hard work on this, I just have a quick question.

I've downloaded the APK file and have set up the blue icons but for the messaging I'd like to redirect it to handcent but I can't seem to figure that out or is not possible?

Thanks

Anyone?
 
LOL this is not good.

I uninstalled the original Brightness Widget to install the skinned one and now my phone keeps rebooting!
 
I absolutely love this thread, great job by all.

This is my first attempt at using my own graphics, hope it doesn't offend anyone and hope I loaded them correctly. Might be safe for work, nothing that ya wouldn't see at a public beach.
