I recently found this thread and installed Desktop Visualizer. This app ROCKS!
paulmz, Dude, thank you for this thread! I've been creating graphics for years in The GIMP and I'm planning to put my skills to work and create a new theme for my phone

I recently registered here and I found this thread and I must thank the thread creator and icon creators for all this great stuff!
can you please provide me that text icon or can anyone make me a vertical text icon (1 x2) with a girl(preferably) or guy texting as the background.

Finally got screen shots with 2.2- more to follow- thanks to all for their input- I am re doing everything- Samsung sent me a new phone yesterday after it bricked trying to get 2.2 (phone was not rooted). the faint outline on the nav is not seen on the phone. This is my travel page. Trip It is a great app, also the home icon is my instant navigation home via shortcuts. the same shortcut can be used for "direct dial" one touch dialing to favorite contacts.

Upload images to a free server site like ImageShack.
Using ImageShack:
1. Go to "My Images".
2. Click the "Image Details" button next to the image you want to use.
3. Click on the "Embed this image" tab on the lower right.
4. Highlight and copy the "Forum" link information.
5. Post that link in the forum.
It will show the full size of the image uploaded to the server site.
Hope this helps!

This is my setup
I have also enabled the cube rotation thing of Launcher Pro Plus, really makes it look cool and unique
Is it possible for minimalistic text to show memory usage? Can I please have instructions if there is, I want to replace the system info widget with something else white.
Can you please provide me the games and messaging Icon.

Launcher pro cube theme, still sorting out everything with a new phone. The nav shadow is artifact and not on the phone. Trip It is a really great app for travel which I keep on my travel page.

The fonts that I have used for my icons are:
Agency FB - Free Font on Fontstock.net
Myriad Pro Semibold - Dropbox Download
Hope this helps!
I really like your icons. Where can I get 'em?[/QUOTE]
thank you. i made them in myself in photoshop and uploaded them to dropbox.
ill send you the link to them
ill send you a link to my dropbox.
So I spent pretty much all day in this thread and playing with my phone to make it all work out right. This is what I've got. I used the different icons that are in here because I wasn't able to get the font so I could use it on my own icons. And me being as OCD as I am, the fonts HAVE to match. So until I can make all my own icons (with all the same font), this is what I've got.
Oh and I am eagerly awaiting the dimensions for icons using ADW without a dock or notification bar. I totally dig that idea because since I don't use a dock anyway, its just wasted space.

For the Agency font I used 36pt with +25 tracking.
For the Myriad Pro I used 24pt with +25 tracking.
Hope this helps!

Ask, and you shall receive:
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
This is demonstrated in this post: Android7 Layout Using ADW Launcher - Without Dock or Notification Bar. I will also edit to add the dimensions to that original post.
Hope this helps!
Sidebar: I'm pretty close to going back to LauncherPro. This ADWLauncher EX force closes at least once every single day. It's a shame... I'm really digging the "no dock" thing. LauncherPro, and even the free ADWLauncher, are ridiculously more stable than the EX. I've emailed the developer with no response. I'm sure he's flooded with error reports, which I send on a daily basis.

I use to have a T-mobile Mytouch 4g. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g. With the new phone i have no idea how to download any of the shared pics. Any help. Thanks in advance.

Anyone out there? I don't have much of a problem to download with dropbox. But have no idea how imageshack works.

Well, I have never tried to do any of this without a computer. But if you insist on doing this solely on the device without the use of a computer:
1. When in the "Android Forums" app and browsing the "Android7 Theme" thread, press on the image that you want to download.
2. When the ImageShack page loads, long-press on the image and select "Save Image".
3. Press "OK" on the "Save as:" dialog box.
4. Done.
If you don't have it set already, it would probably be a good idea to set your browser to save all of the image downloads to a specific folder (rather than the standard "downloads" folder) on the phone memory (if possible).
Hope this helps.
