awesomeness! anyway to get it to save other then a .png?
why would you want to? jpeg is designed for photographs, not graphic art, and a screenshot is comprised of primarily graphics (in the form of art and font). Graphics are preserved in a .png format to prevent the compression and pixellation that occurs often when saving a graphic as though it were an image.

ex;

windowscreenshot.png


Graphics saved as jpeg will almost always be fuzzy, so I'm just curious as to why you'd screenshots in the jpg format?

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, just curious!

I just learned something! thanks :)
 
PNG is clearer and better, TBH. It was developed for the first dynamic websites (PHP) and meant to improve on the GIF, which took up a ton of space for lossy quality.

There was a time when trying to view a PNG was a pain, but now-a-days, it's as easy to share/view as a JPG or GIF. Believe it or not, the BMP file is harder to view these days, which at one time was the standard for HTML image coding.
 
My new flavor of the DAY, I'm tellin' ya, I change it a good bit, I am quite satisfied with this one though, normally I don't just change the background, I overhaul the whole thing, but this time, just some color changes w/ a different background, I like it though, so another update, rooted it last night and put BrokenOut on it, diggin' it so far.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get ADW EX to rotate the dock icons without changing their order? I emailed the developer, but he has yet to get back to me. I had everything else set up to my liking except that.

Then I switched to Launcher Pro when I installed Broken Out (I run LP on my old Incredible). I love how the dock icons simply rotate without changing their relationships to the capacitive buttons. But ADW EX seems to work better for me in every other respect...
 
Sadly, I think that's a restriction with adw. It reverses the order of the icons. I've never cared for it either.
 
You know you live in a cold place when even at 68 degrees you have to indicate whether it is above or below zero!

Is that just an ICS theme?
 
Looks like Beautiful Widgets Super Clock. I think that's the 4x3 size. I've got those same skins, but prefer to split the clock and use the weather 1x1 widget:

*edit* oops... I thought you were talking about the post above you. His might be Smart Clock... it looks like a skin I have for that app.
 
Installed ZEAM, been great so far, have not had much time to customize yet.

Definitely not adw causing my reboots though...
 
I got some weird hang ups with zeam and like ftl, it doesn't let you hide apps in the drawer, so I stopped using it.

Zeam is awesome, lightweight as hell, and b-e-a-u-tiful.

I love the dock, and I just throw everything I regularly use down there, and then swipe down for the rest of my apps, it is buttery smooth.
 
I like the dock and feel of zeam, but the inability to hide apps in the drawer is a really needed feature.

Hmm... Never heard of app hiding, I just use app organizer and have category folders on one of my side home screens.

I knew it could be done, but hate hidden items. I'd prefer to unhide apps rather than hide them
 
here's how mines look.this is black plaque rom with some images replaced with the optimus 4x hd ones like the battery, wifi, icons, ect. I think it looks pretty cool. One of the devs should make a rom like this, it would be bad-ass
