Android Phone 7 Theme

Yes, make the image the actual size you need for most of the widgets. There are a few, like the Hotspots widget that need a larger transparency behind the image to size correctly. But, specifically for the SMS Unread widget, make sure that you have the "Hide icon label" box checked.

Let me know if you run into any other problems.

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.

Changed my mind, going to try something different for a layout.....maybe will do this with the ladies sometime down the road.
 
This is such a great project. I made these a while ago, but thought I'd upload a few screen shots to share. Thanks for the great ideas and tutorials everyone :)

(Note: I'm on a HTC Legend, which has 320x480 resolution)

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!

Wanted to share my setup with everyone, big thanks to paulmz for the guide. Let me know if you want me to post any icons. From 1 to 5, 3 is home screen. Dock text is smaller than I'd like, text is on the image itself with transparent icons.

Unfortunately, you continue to misunderstand. I need pixel dimensions. Please re-read the post I left for you and follow the instructions.

How do I get docks to work for Launcher 7?
Click to expand...

"Launcher7" is a home launcher that does not have a dock.

"Launcher7" and this thread about the theme called "Android Phone 7" are two different animals that almost have the same look.

Just my two cents, but I prefer the theme here in this thread called "Android Phone 7", I can do so much more with it since it is a theme.

This is my first try. I had some problems to find out the correct dimensions for the widgets, but now it looks OK.

Thanks for the help!!

Looks really good. The icons came out well.

When I get a chance, and if you don't mind, I would like to run another test or two to get the image dimensions perfect before posting them for everyone with the same screen resolution.

Thanks for sharing!

Of course I don't mind. Just tell me what to do and I will run the test.
 
Rather than mapping out large regions I went for a stripped down, functional look partially based on Adobe icons while using the Segoe UI font installed with SWM.

I took advantage of the png format to make the icons partially transparent and placed sub icons in the upper right corner for applications and rss feeds.

The headers on each home screen are widgets as well. For example the system header pulls open the Market while the people header opens the contacts app.

I tried it with filled icons but I like the empty icons with borders. The thing I really like about this approach is I can include live widgets on the screen that look organic to the overall design:

Another neat feature that I didn't know at the time- the Simple SMS count widgets display counts for the buttons in the tray as well as icons created through the Desktop Visualizer app.

How did you get Simple SMS to work with Desktop Visualizer? I downloaded it and it's just a widget.

Sorry- I didn't use Simple SMS tool, I got confused. I took the SMS Unread Count Classic apk that you uploaded and used APK Manager to reskin it.
