Basic home screen tutorial

[wyndslash]

Hi! I've been drooling over the lovely works over at mycolorscreen.com, so I wanted to try to make my own, but I don't know how to start.

Does anyone know of a basic tutorial guide?

I've done a little themeing with just 3rd party launchers and such. Folder organizer or desktop visualizer also help with creating different looks. As far as a guide I found a few links that may help get you going in the right direction:

These should get you moving in the right direction. Also check out the mario theme thread link in my sig, theres a pretty good breakdown of how I got that look. Good luck, and please if you get stuck, just ask. We'll do our best to help you out.

You can also find basic tutorials in Youtube. There are so many videos there that can help you out. I used to watch videos on Youtube when it comes to tutorials and stuff.

thanks guys i think i just get frustrated too easily, haha.

i was trying to get this look yesterday: http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/08/22/happy-town/

the designer had uploaded the icons and such, but i think because of the resolution of my device (i'm currently using a rooted kindle fire), it looked kind of messy, and some of the icons didn't show up...

i also want a good calendar widget that i can display on my home screen that can also sync with astrid and google calendar...

The only Calendar Widget I have been able to find that syncs with Astrid is Android Agenda. And its not exactly a calendar since it only shows agenda view.
