Resizing works for everyone but me, I guess.

I have tried, and tried, and tried. I add an icon, select an action (open a FO folder), the icon is on the desktop, long press, and the trash can appears. Never once has there been a hint of a resizing handle. Ever. At all. If I add a Desktop Visualizer widget, all I get is just that, with no option to add a graphic to it. I know you've told me it can be done, but I have absolutely no idea how, and as I said before, I'm so utterly frustrated I just can't even try it anymore. I'll just have to have teeny tiny lovely icons I can barely see and be satisfied with that :(

There are so many things on Android that have frustrated me, because it was all new to me (I'm a Palm girl, for many, many years, I could make that thing jump through hoops), but eventually, because I'm not stupid, I figure it out. This has beaten me, I've exhausted all options.

@reinbeau

Take a deep breath...

WE ARE GOING TO GET THIS RIGHT

I am going to take step by step screenshots of each action.

Will upload shortly.

Cheers
[Android Themes] anderson620:
I know you say you're tired of trying, but something that I found out when trying to resize with Launcher Pro is that when you long press on the icon and the trash can appears, you have to be very careful not to move the icon at all from it's original spot. Long Press, when you see the trash can, remove your finger and you should see the yellow box owl was referring to.
[Android Themes] anderson620:
Owl, just wanted to say thanks for all of your hard work on these icons and I was looking through your dropbox folder and WOW. You definitely have a very impressive artistic touch.

I have to ask, how did you get the icons to appear as though they sit on the branch in the one set of screenshots? Is that just a matter of adding enough lines to accommodate minuscule movements? Again, fantastic job!
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Oh my goodness. I found a tutorial video. I've been doing it all wrong. Now I get it. I am so sorry I hijacked this thread. :o That's what I needed, to see it in action.

To explain (and end this part of the saga!!) I was pressing and selecting Shortcuts, then DVR, and making my selections there. I didn't even realize it was widgets you were setting, mainly because I had looked at the widgets, and placed one, and all I got was that DVR widget image. I tried touching it, but obviously not the right way, so that configuration screen never opened. I did see that I could resize that widget, but why would I want to resize anything like that since it didn't do anything? :o Anyways, all is finally well, continue on, nothing to see here :D :p

I thank you ALL so much for your patience with me! (I am out of thanks now today!)
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
That's a relief. My grey hairs one day will be from you :D

Here are some screens if anyone else needs some attention :)

In screen 3, don't use the first option, since that option does not allow the image to resize when scaling it up or down!

[Android Themes] niteowl360:
Thank you for your kind words :)

No, the wall you are referring to is actually contains all the 'icons' as part of the wall ie they are on the same single image.

The shortcuts are then added using Desktop Vis but with a completely transparent PNG file placed over the relevant part of the image.

It's much easier to place a transparent image over parts of the wall, rather than trying to get icons placed in specific parts etc.

Hope this answers your question.
[Android Themes] gwcaton:
Yeah !!!! :) Way to go !
[Android Themes] anderson620:
Owl,

It does, and after going back and looking I noticed the "icons" were turned ever so slightly to match the curvature of the wood. Very impressive.

While I'm here, you had posted some screenshots earlier with a clock widget where the hour appeared larger than the minute with a dot (.) separating them. Would you mind sharing which one that is? There are so many options for layouts now with this fantastic icon set it's almost difficult to choose!
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
@anderson620

That is Minimalistic Text from the market.

It is awesome, but unintuitive to me anyway.

You will need to spend time getting to grips with the interface.

But its well worth the effort once you master it :)
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
I am glad to hear you say that - because it is another thing that baffled me for a bit (although not as long as this DVR thing had!!) I found a nice tutorial that really helped me get going with Minimalistic Text, you can find it here. In my wanderings I've found another one I'll be checking out later on tonight.
[Android Themes] kitaro2003:
please docks and wallpaper :)
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
@reinbeau

I watched the first third or so of your second link, and it certainly will be helpful to someone new to Minimalistic Text.

Hope he covers adding fonts, otherwise I'll oblige :)

Yes, I know I should be doing icons, but reinbeau exhausted me today :D :)

Next update early weekend.

Requests before end Friday if they're to make it into the next batch :)

Forgot about docks, are you looking for the Sensation Lock Screen type dock?

Which wallpapers?

Docks to the desktop and wallpapers of the latest messages

Thank you for your work, it's best work and design that I saw in the Latest one time ... sorry for my bad English.
[Android Themes] Hakimy:
is it true that if you have Sense and you used widget locker themes like this one,they will appear in the middle since Sense lockscreen is always in the middle? I have been trying to move the new theme at the bottom but I couldn't! also how do I get rid of the default time in widget locker?
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
I'm not certain on the first part, it may be because your screen is not 480x800.

I have a similar issue on the Galaxy Tab 7".

I don't use Sense preferring the LPP Widgets which do not allow for Sense to be running at the same time.

That was part of the reason I created the Sense 3 type docks and the WL Sense 3 Lockscreens.

I was fortunate to e one of the Beta users of WL, and in that test release, when placing the theme, there is an option to hide the time.

I'm afraid you will simply need to wait for the WL release when it is available.

The thread below may assist you with part 1 of your post.

I may have missed it, but I've got all the zips on my computer and didn't see it, is there a battery gauge type icon anywhere? An electric volt, or something like that. Also, in addition to the aCar and Mileage icons (those are for the dock), a generic Auto or Car icon, so I can group everything together in Folder Organizer, as I had before. Only when you get the chance, no hurry.
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
Something to try!

Wanted to do something easy for anyone without much 'theming' experience to try something different on their screen.

The green color looks beautiful and relaxing on device screen :)

Icons can be easily positioned and the 'x' and '0' are positioned to be covered if preferred. The larger icon also looks good either centred or left aligned to suit indiv taste.

Leaving some spaces open on different screens also works well.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

And if you want to get a litlle more adventurous you can enlarge the Icons that make a Line

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Some instructions below

a) Use 9x9 columns/rows in LauncherPro Preferences > Homescreen settings

b) Use Desktop Vis Small 1x1 pixel (Not the 'ss' one).

c) Long press the enlarged icons and drag once to the right ie double the ixi pixel size.

d) The enlarged icons in the centre column are dragged one more time to get them to fill the centre column without enlarging them again.

The above is difficult to explain, but easy to see in practice.

Trial and error will get this working easily :)

While simple, looks nice on screen :).

Hope to see some of these posted!

e) The 960x800 wall is for those who use Wallpaper Set and Save.

f) The 480x800 wall is for those who use Multipicture Live.

Don't forget to switch off scrolling in the Launcher Pro settings.

Appearance Settings > Disable Wallpaper Scrolling (4th from bottom of the options)

g) Place the dock using Launcher Pro preferences > Appearance > Dock > Custom. If the Custom dock doesn't show, turn your device to landscape and back to portrait. It will then show the Dock. This seems to be an issue in the latest LP Plus update!

Hey Owl :)

That's very nice of you to spend time on such a quick guide. It looks very clean, organised and creative too.

I can't wait to use them in LauncherPro :D Please keep it up.

Morning! Or is it evening to you ? LOL Quick question. I started late and running out of play time before going to work. What is the column / row settings for this set up ?

Thanks !
[Android Themes] polstein:
Very interesting icons, and playing with the first style theme you posted. I'm using scrips I learned (well, copied) from another theme so that my main screen has LP shortcuts to other screens.

I do have some icon requests when you have some time. If it helps, I can post the png files from the apps.

Cozi

Rock Player

Appbrain

Amazon App Store

(using generic ones for the apps below)

NewsRob

Plume

Cool Reader

Pocket Informant

Thank you very much!
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
It's 4pm here :)

I use 9x9 columns/rows.

Use Desktop Vis Small 1x1 pixel (Not the 'ss' one).

The enlarged ones are simply stretched and to align the middle row enlarged ones just stretch them horizontally once more so they don't resize.

Difficult to explain this but easy to see in practice.

While simple, looks nice on screen :).

Hope to see some of these posted!

The 960x800 wall is for those who use Wallpaper Set and Save.

The 480x800 wall is for those who use Multipicture Live.

Don't forget to switch off scrolling in the Launcher Pro settings.

Place the dock using Launcher Pro preferences > Appearance > Dock > Custom.
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
Sure thing.

Cool reader and rock player images please.

Above 120 pixels would be best. T

Thanks
[Android Themes] polstein:
Will get shortly. Fighting the 1st screen LP shortcuts. Turns out, you can't use Desktop Visualizer with Launcher pro Shortcuts (to click an icon & jump to another screen). You also can't resize a Launcher pro shortcut.

So I tried multi-picture live wallpaper (I made an image of the wallpaper & copied the icons I wanted on it so that the wallpaper & icons were 1 picture - then I would just put the LP Shortcuts with transparent icons on it!). BUT the live wallpaper doesn't work on my phone (possible gingerbread problem).

New-new plan: I tried to make a blank image that had the same height, but 6 times the width. I coped my modified image as the leftmost, and 5 copied of the original on the right (800 high x 2880 wide). Sadly, I still get the stupid resize-rectangle box thing & I can't just select the entire image. [didn't think this would work since scrolling doesn't scroll 1 entire screen, just a little]

Looking at an app called Wallpaper Wizardii now.

(anyone have any other ideas?)

Edit - played with settings, and I think I got multi-to work. Might have been the scrolling setting in LP. Testing transparencies now.

Attaching images. Rock player one is icon from apk - looking for something better.
[Android Themes] ParaCAD:
niteowl,

I can post images of the icons i'd like if that will assist you. lmk. and what would be the optimal size..i recall it in an earlier post but i think its much earlier in this thread.

If you'd like images, how do you want them? Plus i didn't notice those wallpapers in you dropbox for download, unless i missed it

Thanks for all the AWESOME work!
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
what program allows you to click an icon to jump to a page?

you can only resize LP shortcuts with Plus version

I'm using gingerbread and multipicture live without problem.

what were you trying to achieve?

multipicture needs individual screens at 480x800. you simply create multile different screens or use one image and make sure LP settings allow for screen scrolling or not.

Appearance settings > Disable wallpaper scrolling etc
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
Only if images for the apps are a little known.

Any size above 120 ppixels please approximately 250 pixels is preferable.

which wallpapers are you looking for?

Next batch requests asap upload early weekend :)

Thanks
[Android Themes] polstein:
No idea why MP Live wasn't working initially - it is now. (and once I finish, I iwll be doing a major backup of my system!)

Agreed, you can only resize Widgets with Plus, but apparently you cna't do a LP Shortcut (to a LP script).

Launcher Pro has a scripting ability. Check out this page: http://themedroid.com/2010/11/scrolling-wallpaper-2/ - has a great tutorial.

Basically, download the source files on the page. Put them in a folder on your sd card called "lpshortcuts". On your home screen, add a Shortcut / Launcher Pro Shortcut (should show the .lps files in your lpshortcuts folder). I have 6 lps scripts. #2 will cause Launcher Pro to jump to page 2. #1 will jump to page 1.

I have my "main" home screen to be #1. I put scripts to screens 2-6 on the bar on the right hand side of the page.

On the sense dock at the bottom of the screen, I put a shortcut to script #1 (transparent icon) so I can jump back to my home page by clicking the bottom right of the Launcher Pro dock from any screen. I also set the middle shortcut to launch an app called "Organized Draw" which is an App Draw replacement app.

OH - note in the tutorial - check out his graphic. He actually uses a wallpaper with little logos in the bottom left. His dock bar has a transparent circle on the far left. So as you scroll from page to page, you're seeing a different piece of the wallpaper in the mask. Very neat effect.

Let me know if I confused the heck out of everyone. The tutorial explains it better then I do. I'm just happy to be able to help you for a change!

Dont worry about me. IF by some chance I would win I would default to the runner up cos I couldnt come up with a dozen icons I want/need. You have covered all my bases thru everyone elses requests.

In Launcher Pro select Preferences, then Appearance, then choose Custom Dock.

Select the Dock from your Gallery.

In the latest LP release if the dock doesn't show, turn your device to landscape and immediately back to portrait.

The dockbwill appear. Use whatever shortcuts as usual on top of the dock. I often use transparent image with shortcuts etc.
