I didn't have problems with the yellow png, but I wasn't able to make a 1x1 widget with red png. I selected the png but Desktop Visualizer didn't accept it. My homescreen has 4 colunms and 5 arrows.
I hope you can figure out the dimensions anyway.

Okay, I figured out the image widths, but the heights are a bit unclear. Try using this vertical bar instead (I am assuming that the 800-pixel high bar in the other test is too tall for the vertical widgets to have clear edges):
I resized the test image to better fit your resolution. Hopefully it gets us a clearer shot of the edge of the widgets.
Post another screenshot and I'll go from there.
Thanks.

Do you have the image quality setting for Desktop Visualizer maxed out? All of the vertical lines still have blurry edges. There is a +/- 4-pixel differences between them. I know on a device with such a low resolution that increasing the image quality for the widgets will probably slow things down- but you may need to do that just for this test. Otherwise, I can't get definite dimensions on the height of the images.

Well, I finally decided that I find a dock to be completely useless. So I revised my Android7 theme using ADW Launcher after reading in other posts that you can turn off the dock completely. ADW is also useful (as other launchers may also be) that you can set up- and down-swipe gestures for specific actions. For instance: without a notification bar I have the down-swipe to drop the notification window. I then have the up-swipe to open the app drawer (no icon or link required!). I'm kinda digging that.

Needless to say, the lockscreen is WidgetLocker. The widgets on the lockscreen are explained in this post: Post Your Lockscreen Screenshots.
The clock/weather/battery widget on the main homescreen is Make Your Clock Pro.
The folder popups on the last three screenshots are using Folder Organizer.
Here are the sizes for Desktop Visualizer widgets using ADW Launcher with the following settings:
1. 4-columns by 6-rows.
2. Notification bar turned off.
3. Dock turned off.
4. For devices with a 480x800 resolution.
Heights (rows- pixels):
1- 123, 2- 256, 3- 389, 4- 522, 5- 655, 6-788
Widths (columns- pixels):
1- 110, 2-230, 3- 350, 4- 470

I also have all of my Widget Images on my phone memory, and not the SD Card. Gallery finds them fine when you go to "All Images". I know that none of the other Android phones have the mass amount of onboard memory like the Incredible, though.

I can't change the quality setting, this option is disabled in my phone. I you can, give me some approximate dimensions and I will try with them.

Yeah, it makes sense that the image quality setting is disabled for your device. I assume it only works for high-resolution screens.
Here is what I have so far:
Widths: 1=56, 2=116, 3=176, 4=236
Heights: 1=50, 2=100, 3=150, 4=200, 5=250
The height dimensions don't make sense. The widths are perfect- leaving a 4-pixel space between images. The heights leave between 0- and 2-pixels of space.
Make sure that you have the Auto-Fit Items option selected in the LauncherPro settings as well.
Let me know how it works.
It seems that I have problems with the width and no with the height. It is strange, I don't understand it

That would be correct. If the heights are incorrect, Desktop Visualizer shrinks the image to compensate, which would make for different sized spaces between the widgets.
Okay, after looking at your last screenshot, try this out:
1x1: 55 x 47
1x2: 55 x 99
1x3: 55 x 151
1x4: 55 x 203
2x1: 115 x 47
2x2: 115 x 99
3x1: 175 x 47
3x3: 175 x 151
4x1: 235 x 47
4x4: 235 x 203
It is not perfect, but good enough for me. Although if you give new dimensions I will try them. Thanks!!

I'm having problems to edit the widgets. Using the APK Manager, I can unpack the APK and edit the photo, then I repack the widgets but it doesn't work. I can't install it.
Somebody coult tell me the correct proccess?? I'm doing:
- 1, extract APK
- Edition of images (folders "drawable-hdpi" and "drawable-mdpi")
- 3, zip APK
- 1, system APK or 2, regular APK
I attached my modified APK.

First: Make sure you're saving the images with the same exact file name as the original.
Second: When you ZIP the APK, select option 2 for "regular".
Third: Don't forget to hit option 4 after zipping it. That will "sign" the APK.
Hope this helps!

Are you sure it won't work? I have my Adobe Creative Suite 4 loaded on a Windows XP Media Center 32-bit and a Windows 7 64-bit. Photoshop is a bit touchy but it should come with both a 32-bit and 64-bit version. On my system, there are actually two different Photoshop application icons: one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.
Also, you can run most applications as 32-bit in 64-bit by running it in "XP mode" (right-click the app, open "properties", then "compatibility" and check the box for "XP").
Hope this helps!

Yes, your device or resolution does matter for making icons for Desktop Visualizer.
I don't have widget image sizes for a 10-column/9-row setup. Please provide dimensions for the icons required.
If you do not know the dimensions, please run through the test listed here:
Desktop Visualizer Image Size Test
My problem was that I didn't sign the APK, now it works... but I have another problem: the images for the APK's are 55x47 but when I add a widget it looks smaller. Should I make bigger images for the APK's?
