Custom Icons- Feedback Appreciated

I'm playing around with photoshop and customizing the look of my phone with icons and docks. I'm new to this (and kind of new to photoshop as well) so any feedback/comments on what I've done would be appreciated. I'll continue to work on these and will add more things.

I use desktop visualizer to put these on (1x1 for the icons except for voice actions/vlingo start listening which I use 2x1) since it looks too small to me otherwise (at least on my screen).

Any comments/ critiques are appreciated.

Thanks :)
 
Thanks guys! Uploaded new dock (since I didn't really like the other one when it was on my phone). Going to make a more complete icon list and add some more stuff soon. Let me know if you have any requests for icons.

Thanks for the feedback :D

Very nice looking. I may try these with my new wallpaper. If I do I'll post it up.

Please do ;)
 
Added some more stuff. From now on I'm going to have to put all the icons together in one big image and make a downloadable pack since I'm running out of space.
 
Willing to take requests?

I'd like to have Text, Email, Market, Navigation/Maps, and Browser. Your Asto icon isn't showing up either.

Thanks!

Yes, I want requests actually so I have a better idea of what to put in, since I'm not exactly going to make 100,000 icons for every app:p.

I should be able to do them tomorrow. I had to cut Astro and Maps outs of the post since I was exceeding image space per post, but I'll reupload them here later.

I'll have to search around for the basic icons of the preinstalled apps since they aren't on appbrain like the other stuff.
 
They look cool...only thing is i havent figured out how to download them :/ do i need to use a computer or special app on my phone? Thx 4 the work!

In general I've just right clicked on the image I want and selected save as... and then it downloaded the image and I was able to just put it on my phone and use it. Though I've done that with files that were already PNGs (which is what it needs to be for phone I think) and I uploaded these as JPGs so I'm not completely sure. (Try just doing the same thing and saving as PNG probably).

I'll be making a downloadable pack once I make enough icons (whenever I get around to just creating a bunch - will go faster if I can figure out what icons people want) and once I do that it will be easier to put on.

In other news I think I'm going to start playing around with making wallpapers as well. Here are 2 ones I made for fun and to play around with effects (went a little overboard on the second one, but I'm just having fun :p). Not sure what size wallpapers need to be to fit on phone, so for when I work on some wallpapers, does anyone know what size it needs to be? Are these the right size?

Ok ill try with my comp....i read these forums from my phone. I think the phone will strech wallpaper to fit just may be blurry if to small....ill give it a shot later..
 
I need some more icon ideas please. I want to get a decent sized icon pack up here. Any requests are welcome.
