The missed call/text/mail is just SMS Unread with transparent pngs. The icons are part of the wallpaper, the bubbles are a purple sms unread mod. HERE it is if u want it. Yes the batt/temp is minimalistic text. I can never go without MT on my screens lol. And the app drawer icon is my own creation. if there are specific colors you want I wud be happy to make one for you. The one on my screen is in my dropbox under MISC icons. Its titled MYLAUNCHER2. theres are 3 versions in there. If you want a different color just let me know though. DROPBOX link for you. Oh, and the emails....*hangs head in shame* :o sadly they are NOT all spam lol

What's the calls/mails/texts app thingy? It looks interesting.

Is the date/batt/temp widget minimalist text?


Do you have the app drawer icon in white as well :D I'll still take black if that's all you got :P



:eek: I hope those are spams and not important...

Thanks and Oooo! A treasure trove of cute icons! And you have the white app laucher :D

I need to find a tutorial on how to use MT...there are way too many options/selections...it's overwhelming XD
 
Some seriously unique ones here! How hard is it for a newbie to design my own theme? Am hoping there are lots of nice ones I can download once I get my phone, to get me started at least. :)
 
p.s. how are people getting what appears to be custom words for their icons? are they just icon packs? or are they going into photoshop and actually creating the icons...?

However hard it is, it'll get way easier once you start! So go give it a shot.

What's the icons set's name and are there a lot of icons in the set :)

The icons are the default ones from the GO Launcher, not many there unfortunately.

I may just create some text icons to replace them ... or grab an icon set from somewhere ...

My HTC Desire is my testbed for my "soon to arrive" SGS II (due 4th May-ish)

:D

haha, too bad :/ those icons are really nice...similar to the silver icons I have. The only problem is that there aren't that many icons in the pack and it's PC base and not Android base, so half of them are unusable for me.

You're getting the SGS2...damn I'm jealous. Well I wouldn't trade my Atrix for the world...but still the SGS2 is one of the phone that's a head turner for me.

There are a lot of great ideas in here!

Well, here's what I've got right now. Using ADW and desktop visualizer:



Believe it or not, I actually did that one entirely in Paint.





And my Widget Locker:



A little messier than I usually like, but I still think it's pretty cool.

Not really my desktop, but as I recently flashed over to CM7 stable I decided to wipe my data/cache and start from scratch. In the process of building my UI from the ground up, I began with a custom lock screen, as shown below.

The bottom # after $su is the iPhone style unlock slider. The block under $sysinfo is my battery percentage, outside temps, date, and time. The APKs in the #rm com.ETC.apk are the day of the week and the weather conditions. The rest is just a wallpaper I made in photoshop.

Made with WidgetLocker and Minimalistic Text. Had a bit of an inspiration and just ran with it.
