Very nice :)

What is the Miui theme?

And how do you have gingerbread coloured notification bar icons for power, wifi etc?

Oh and fancy widget works perfectly by the way, thanks :)

That, my friend, is my own theme I've made :D
The Gingerbread icons are also part of the theme, but are obviously not made by me ;)
 
I've been playing with the minimillist text widgets but I'm stuck on actually getting the widgets to say anything other than the time. How the hell do I do it?

when you are in the widget customising screen, go to predefined layout and choose custom, then click on custom layout

press and hold on the 3 pre difined areas there and drag them to the bin when it shows
click the plus sign, click misc and click static text
you can put a full word or part word depending if you want to colour different parts of the word
press back when you created the word
select the text style you want for each catagory that you chose for your static text
unter tap behaviour there is a section for "start another activity" then click on select activity and chose the one you want it to do
click ok and there you have it


its a long process but it does what you want it to do

Mass Effect 2 themed.

Snowstorm
Simi clock
Circle battery
Switch pro
Circle launcher (touch Cerberus icon to open, using transparent .png as icon)
Launcher pro

Dock icons are just called "simple", i'm sure i got them from this thread but where is anyones guess. The little wolf is a "grunge" icon pack from the web somewhere as well. Dock is from here inside this iPhone (burn them!) theme pack.

If anyone knows where to get a decent, simple (with clock/alarm launcher function) and centred digital clock that works in 24 hour time i'd be greatful for any info. All the ones i can find either don't launch applications or are justified left/right and look silly on a symetrically designed wallpaper image.

I'm liking the look man. Very nice. Is that your only home screen?
 
well again I been busy..this time playing with transparencies to achieve a seperate cleaner 'boxed' off area for the side bar and dock...

its still the same grey android wallpaper which I like...and god I went through a load in the last 6 hours to make a new set but came back to the old bot as hes much better...

the icons in the top left corner are STILL the metro7 windows phone7 icons...but the ones where there are multiple in one icon were edited by me to obviously change it a lil to emphasise more whats on that screen like the tools/info icon reflecting the info widgets and tools etc...yea you all get the idea :p

I do happen to like my lockscreen quite a bit especially with the "System Locked!" I put in...just a lil bit of fun :D

Minimalistic Text will do this without any trouble. Set up a 2x1 horizontal widget, build a numeric clock, use a divider (: or | work nicely), set it to center horizontally and to launch your clock/alarm app of choice, and you're done.

It also looks terribly, terribly sexy if you use Helvetica Neue.

Actually, if you're very, very picky, it might bother you that the divider might shift slightly at certain times (especially in a 12h clock, but no matter what, 1 is narrower than 2, and will affect the centering). In which case set up two 1x1 widgets. The left one does the hours, the right one does the minutes; either launches the clock.
 
One last question (for now) about the min text. How do I change to direction of the text?
 
When you start the program there are for options under Orientation. You can play a with them. Also in your app folder there is an icon for Minimalistic Text Preface and you can alter the widget you have made there.

Nah, i have three, 4x4 jorte monthly on the left and a switch pro panel, poweramp, whiteboard widget and two more circle launchers for games and other "utilities" such as the market and barcode scanner, stuff i use, just not as much as the stuff on the main page. Can get a screenshot if you want?

After some play with Widget Locker I've returned to the default
5407947822
MIUI view with custom wallpaper. Widget Locker kind of screws up JuiceDefender as it considers the screen 'unlocked'. Anyone know a work around for that?
 
Uninstall juice defender? Has it actually saved you any battery? All it does is stop things connecting to the internet. Changing their update frequency manually does that too.

Never seen such a pointless app haha.

awesome icons :) - how do you get them to work (.mtz file)? un-routed. thx
Click to expand...

You won't be able to. You must be rooted, and have the custom ROM Miui installed.

A .mtz file is the theme format for themes on the rom Miui like I say. You need to be using that Rom, which requires you to root.
