You could try, but they are sized to fit screens with a resolution of at least 480x800. Give it a shot and post a screenshot or two. If they don't fit right, I'll work on revising the old icons I made before to fit the lower resolution.

Haha, too lazy to set up the screen shot thing.

Hi,

I won't be able to do until Sunday night, but basically the widget comes out at about less than a cm on the screen and I don't know why?

It's really tiny.

:confused:

Any chance of you uploading your icons?
 
paulmz thanks for sharing.

I have samsung galaxy i7500 (320 x 480 pixels, 3.2 inches) how do I size the pictures that u provided to my screen size so I don't have a big gap in between them?

EDIT: is there a measuring tool that can help size for all the apropriat resolutions?

Earlier in this thread, I posted suggested dimensions for the HTC Eris:

DROID Eris Desktop Visualizer Image Dimensions

Different phones have minor differences in usable screen space due to varying sizes of the notification bar and other factors I have not been able to determine. But these dimensions should be really close.

Be sure to post screenshots after you arrange icons so we can take a look at it. Also, this way we can try to figure out if the image dimensions are different.
 
wtf I dont get how these scaling work!!

correct me if I'm wrong but, if I have my settings set to 4 columns and 4 rows, then it means a 4x4 image should take a howl screen isnt it?? 4 x 4 would be a 320 x 480???

how many pixels do I deduct from task bar and dock bar?
Click to expand...

Okay, first describe what you are trying to do. Are you attempting to create a 4x4 Desktop Visualizer widget? If so, then the image that you are going to use for the widget needs to be 314x314 pixels (this is still just an estimated dimension). If the image is the correct size, it should fill the widget perfectly. The dimensions already take into account the space taken by the dock and notification bar.

Try not to get frustrated. Once we figure out where the disconnect is, we can get you going.

Post a screenshot if you're still having problems so I can see what you're talking about.
 
I'm just trying to figure out the pixel dimentions for my galaxyi7500 to be used with:
1x2
1x3
1x4
2x1
2x2
2x3
2x4
etc...

again thanks for ur time in helping the noob.

I wrote this 5 posts up from this one:


"Earlier in this thread, I posted suggested dimensions for the HTC Eris:

DROID Eris Desktop Visualizer Image Dimensions" <--Click This Link

Note, these are only dimensions for the stock widget sizes from Desktop Visualizer. If you want to resize icons using LauncherPro Plus, you will need to calculate the sizes from the ones provided. For example: Desktop Visualizer doesn't have a 4x2 widget, but you can make one by taking the height dimensions for a 1x2 widget (154) and combine it the the width of a 4x1 widget (314). Using this formula, an image for a 4x2 widget would be [approximately] 314x154 (width x height).

Also, please note that all of these dimensions are based on the LauncherPro Homescreen being set to 4-columns and 5-rows.

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
 
I am using adw launcher is there a difference?

wow I didn't realized it would be such a hustle sizing them.

edit: I'll feedle around with it some more up untill I'll give up ;)

Okay, I have to ask, where did the icons come from? If you downloaded them from this thread, we haven't created any icons to fit a device with your screen resolution yet. Therefore, all of the icons in this thread are made for screens of at least 480x800 resolution. They will not space correctly on your screen because they are not the correct dimensions.

The icon dimensions posted in this thread are for people to use to create their own icons. There are also tutorials on how to create the icons from scratch.

that is why I am trying to scale them down to fit to my screen using the photoscape program. it doesn't seem to want to scale according to my wishes tho :mad:

Good. Those two widgets look like they're lining up the way they're supposed to.

Now, I think I have it. The pixel dimensions in Photoshop are still throwing me a bit... on screen it shows a 7-pixel gap between images, but the math of the widget sizes says 6-pixels. Hopefully, this is it:

1x2: 74x154
1x3: 74x234
1x4: 74x314
2x1: 154x74
3x1: 234x74
4x1: 314x74
4x4: 314x314
3x3: 234x234
2x2: 154x154
1x1: 74x74

NOTE: I revised these dimensions on 10/29/10. If these don't work perfectly, the heights may still be off (ie: 73, 153, 233, 313).

I based all of this on your last screenshot, which measured the 4x1 at 314x73 and the 2x1 at 154x73. I then took that into account with the 1x2 selected widget in the screenshot before that, which was at 76x154 (then I deducted 2-pixels per width and height to come up with the actual image size).

Let me know how this works.

thanks, this is indeed a very helpful post for these with a 3.2 in screen :) now I can finaly start making my own pics. I will post them when they are done :)

TJTHEBEST,

First you need an image editor. I used Adobe Photoshop for all of my images. The easy thing to do is to download the 30-day free trial of Photoshop (Adobe Photoshop Download), and then download my template files:

DROID Incredible Android 7 Photoshop Templates

DroidX Photoshop PSD Templates for Desktop Visualizer

If you need help on how to create images and resize images, please look through earlier posts of this thread. Everything is explained in great detail.

Needless to say, however, if you have any questions, please ask.

Im a total newbie, with all this stuff. Im having trouble resizing my pics for my droid X, I downloaded the templates fro the Droid X, but im not exactly sure how to use them. I tried opening the template and dragging in the pici want to use and it somewhat resizes it but then i have to stretch it out to meet the size of the template..what am i doing wrong. So if anybody can help this noob. would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hey paulmz, thanks for the tutorial. I am currently using your pictures but I am planning on making my own. I wanted to see how it looked first. When I'm done I will post screen shots.

Okay, from what I can tell by your description...

If you have to "stretch" the image to fit the template, then the images you are using probably aren't big enough to begin with and will probably look pixelated.

Maybe try adjusting the size of the image first before adding it to the template. Here's a simple crop method that guarantees the correct sized image: Image Resizing Using Photoshop.

If you need any other help, feel free to post or Personal Message the images and what widget sizes you want them and I can get them adjusted.
