I couldn't find the post with the link to the transparent image so I just uploaded it. It's in the zip below.

Maybe Fliparsenal can add it to his OP for others to use.

Cheers...

You can try HERE. They have a ton of high res wallpapers and images.

Uploaded a video of my first "hub" layout :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
Thanks for this! I remember going on this site once or twice, and just recently I've been trying to figure out what it was :) Good alternative to 4walled just because it has almost no pornography and dirty photos lol. (i haven't seen any)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] poetter747:
How did you manage to deactivate action bar? Or is it not permanent?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Long click anywhere on the screen and then choose 'Launcher Actions', then select 'Hide/Show Actionbar'. This creates a icon on the screen which allows you to hide or unhide the Actionbar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] JayCapo1-8125:
What he said.. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] poetter747:
Yes, i knew this method, but its not permanent. One orientation change and the action bar is back. Is there a way to hide it more permanent?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] RAMBO29:
Any creation videos?

I saw there are many Hubs demo videos. Could one of you experts make a video about how to make a Hub?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Here is one on YouTube already.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] LoveJiuJitsu:
From what I have read, no. :( I can't even figure out how to make a shortcut to the ADW shortcut or I would make that at least invisible.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ebsebs:
@poetter747,

If (and it's a big if) you use ADW in only one orientation, you can lock it so that it doesn't

change when you switch between portrait and landscape orientation.

In this case, the "hide action bar" is more permanent - it stays until you turn your tablet off.

If you want to use ADW in both orientations, then this won't help.

@LoveJiuJitsu,

You can make the "Hide/Show Action Bar" icon invisible pretty easily.

Just long-press on the icon and select "Edit". Click on the icon in the edit dialog

and choose "Select picture", then "ADW docks catalog".

Pick any image and you'll notice that the icon is now empty (invisible).

Delete the icon title (if you want) and you now have a completely invisible icon.

Don't lose it! ;)

Regards,

Eric

AcIdC0R3: sorry for the stupid question but, what calendar widget are you using? I'm trying to find a nice calendar widget that displays a full month view like that. thanks! your layout looks sick!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] LoveJiuJitsu:
Wow....I had no idea that is how you edit the icons. /bonk. Going to do that now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
It's not a stupid question. Were all here to try new things so your cool. It's called Wizz Widget. Incidentally, most if not all of the widgets from Wizz Widgets can be resized. Hell, you could make that calendar widget fit an entire page if you wanted to. Anyways, good luck. :)

Cheers...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] d3l1:
Thanks for all the inspiration and the guides in this thread, I finished my hubs layout! Maybe some widgets will be added or changed, if I find better wallpapers they will replace my current ones, but the basic layout will stay the same, it's intuitive, fast and smooth!

@AcIdC0R3 : Would you mind sharing your wallpapers? Or where did you get them (better question, where and what was the search term), but an upload would be way easier :) Thanks in advance, really looking forward to your wp!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tlxxxsracer:
Im having trouble getting Multi live wallaper to work. I select five different wallpapers for each of the 5 screens.. but for some reason i only have one wallpaper still

Any help?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] d3l1:
what's you launcher? use adw ex and do the following:
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tlxxxsracer:
Works! Thanks mate :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I get my wallpapers from Wallbase. I don't remember off hand what the search terms for each was. They did closely correspond to what the media was related to. i.e., movies, games, for home I believe I searched for couch and sofa and so forth. HERE is a link to a zip file containing all the wallpapers I used at that time.

Thanks for looking. :)

Cheers...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] d3l1:
thx mate, about to complete my setup now :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] t2xcrzy308us:
how do I get my tabs flushed with the side, and hide the top bar? Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] t2xcrzy308us:
For some reason, its just not working... can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. They just won't flush to the side
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Please read op before posting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] eyz:
do i use both adw ex launcher and launcher pro plus together?

or i just need to use only one?

cos i saw that there are 4 apps listed in the main... so i just download all 4

:/
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] codyrt:
You can only use one at a time. Both will work to set up the Hubs style layout.

I have not tried LauncherPro but, ADW has worked flawlessly and runs very smooth.

It all comes down to personal preference.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] eyz:
alright, i'll go uninstall 1 of it now.

thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] eyz:
Flips, may I check with you what calendar widget are you using?

Another question is that, from the below picture, we can see that the minimalistic bar on the right acts as a tab title.

And the enlarged Productivity tab shows that the current page is at the Productivity page (stating the obvious, but i hope to get it clear).

Under ADW Ex launcher actions, there are shortcuts to screen 1, 2, 3 and etc, depending on the no. of screen you had created.

So my question is, are we able to create a minimalistic tab, incorporatiing that launcher action into it?

So that, when we tap onto the 'Home' minimalistic tab, it would automatically skip to the 'Home' page, tap on 'Music' tab, it would automatically skip to the 'Music' page, so on and forth.

This would make everything so much sleek, rather than swiping to and forth to your desired page. I know that transition between the swipe looks cool, but I am just suggesting a more efficient way of browsing the different page.

Anyway, I just started exploring minimalistic text, I can't seem to incorporate the launcher action into the minimalistic text activity.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] d3l1:
Minimalistic Text doesn't support these Launcher Actions afaik. I created a similar layout using Simple Text to create an icon, place the launcher action on the homescreen, change the icon to the simple text icon making the current one in a different color, and after all the icons are in place I create an empty, slightly grey box with minimalistic text and place it behind the icon. You can take a look at my layout on page 28.

The reason I did it that way is that I use both orientations and my layout fits with both, everything is correctly in place. The only downside is that MultiPicture Livepaper doesn't rotate the image when going to portrait mode, it just stretches it but that's something I can live with.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Sure it's from Launcher Pro Plus. However I heard Android Widget Pro has the very same widgets without using LPP
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
With or without HD widgets?

​

I found a better alternative to Minimalistic Text and its Simple Text. Will post tutorial tommorow, and those eager should download it and try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] serpicoUK:
How do I select the screen page I want to go to when using Launcherpro?

I can select an app or task but cant seem to find away of selecting what screen I wish to go to
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SarcasticOne:
hi

ive searched for this but cant find an answer...

when i want to do something like "home" if i do it in big text it appears like:

HO

ME

how do i make it take up all the space rather than 1/4 of the space in the middle?

also, i am having issues getting the app draw widget on top of the black part, any advice?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
Hi Guys,

Just a quick look at my Hubs layout. I call it Win 7.99ish.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opKpdzJtae0

Funny thing is you can witness the random gmusic flashing that occurs everyonce in a while at some point. It just happen to decide to do it during this brief vid. Took the sound out because the kids were hyped up on sugar with cartoons blasting in the background. :D

It did not happen during the vid but I am a little frustrated with the ADW freezing every once in a while so i might decide to go back to stock launcher....:mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] d3l1:
I made my layout the same way (page 28), the only downside is the size limitation of simple text due to it creating icons, you have to keep your names very short or make the font really small.

thx again for the inspiration and tutorial!

btw do you know why multipicture livepaper sometimes refreshes the image a few times in a row (I have refresh disabled and double-tap too!)? or does that only happen to me?

no idea what app you are using or how you are making your "home" whatever it is (shortcut?)

to get the black bar, you need to enable "widget overlapping", place all the shortcuts and after that (!!) drag (hold the black bar you created until the arrows to resize it appear) it behind with the resize option. afterwards you can't place any shortcuts where the bar is, so place the bar in the last (!!) step.

how can I tell adw to make the folder show more apps? mine currently shows 8 apps and the rest is placed on following pages. so I get one row of 8 apps, the rest is on page 2 ... how can I make adw folders show as much as possible? kind of annoying to swipe through pages if you only have 10-15 apps in the folder which would fit the screen space easily
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
I use the folder organizer app than have either minimalistic or desktop viz launch it.

With that you can put as many apps you want in it.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer.lite&feature=search_result
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] crecsky:
I don't know if I skimmed past it or just wasn't able to find it.

So when you are all making your main widget with the different titles for the hubs are you able to just click on lets say Videos and it will switch to the homescreen you've chosen for it?

I'm trying to figure out how to make the minimal text thing more functional so that I can just hit videos and it will go to the videos page instead of just swyping to that page.

Maybe I have to make a shortcut to lets say homepage 3 with a transparent icon and then put it where the videos text is?

Just trying to figure this all out =)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
what i have done - not sure if anyone else is diff.

But on certain widgets i have them either linked to the actual app or the folder with multiple apps in it.

The tabs for the diff pages are all linked to those pages. ( Ie - work tab will take you to the work page) Yes done with the invisible ADW link and the minimal texts placed over it.

I hope i answered your quest...:rolleyes:

Edit---- you wont be able to just place the Min text over the invis ADW link. Put it next to or as close as you can, than long press it and use the arrows to manuver it over the invis ADW page links.........
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] crecsky:
Do you use one single minimal text widget for each tab? Or do you just have one big one with everything in it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
on mine on every page except the home page i have single boxes for each tab.

On the home screen i had just minimal text with out back round over the invis ADW link.

Than i decided to add the grid boxes to the screen so i threw one right over the text which was already there and it worked. So technically on the Home page I have the invis ADW page link with a text min txt icon over it and than the colored box over that... weird I know but it works so not trying to fix it.

But again all the others are single boxes set to the same color which makes it look like one big box anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SarcasticOne:
Screen shot probably would help

Am using minimilistic text for the bar up top, but having issues with text
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] konga056:
What clock/weather widget are you using?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
HD Widgets..
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] d3l1:
make the font smaller. assuming you make the text with simple text be aware that simple text produces icons which are limited in their size. that's why I had to go with "net" instead of "internet" for my button.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] foamyxz:
I was wondering, assuming you have your minimal text widgets, and that minimal text allows for shortcuts to be added to each widget, using launcher pro and this code

Action: android.intent.action.MAIN Package name: com.fede.launcher Class name: com.fede.launcher.Launcher

And one extra:

Type: Integer Name: com.fede.launcher.extra.SCREEN Value: the number of the screen to switch to (from 1 up to the number of homescreens you have set up in LP)

How would i make the above shortcut join with minimal text to allow each widget to zoom to the decided screen?

Ive tried adding the above shortcut into LPP and the select it but it does nothing when clicking the widget

Any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] crecsky:
Yeah, the best bet would be to have someone who knows what they are doing create a shortcut that you can add to the text to make it go to a certain page. I don't know the code, but I do know that in ADW you can use a "launcher icon" that can send you to Screen 1, 2, 3, ect. That would be ideal.

Also, I have both LauncherPro and ADW Ex, which one do people here find the easiest/most fulfilling to use?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SysWiz:
Did fliparsenal ever post the new tutorial with the "better alternative"??
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AudioFiend:
I have been a launcher pro user but its giving me far to many FCs. I would like to be able to move the dock to the side not horizontally long the bottom. I have just got the lastest AWD Ex, can this be achieved?? I would like to have the ability to have shortcuts from the dock to a screen. I.e 2|3|4 etc.

Update. Is see that the shortcuts can be done, just moving the dock. Had i quick look maybe hide primary dock and use seconardy butcan this be placed on the side.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
I decided to go back to stock launcher- too many FC's on ADW
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
NEW & EASY ALTERNATIVE to Minimalistic Text

An alternative to Minimalistic Text is an app called Simple Text.

Make sure you have ADWLauncher EX

Go to the market and install Simple Text

Long press on the screen and select 'Custom Shortcut'

'Pick your activity', select 'Launcher Actions'

Choose which screen you want, 1 - 5 or 1 - 7 if your using seven screens

Click on the picture of the 2 screens side by side

Select 'ADWTheme IconPacks' and select 'Simple Text'

Select the grey box named 'Simple'

replace the word 'Simple' with whatever of your choosing like 'Video' for your video hub or 'Social' for your social media hub and so forth

Adjust your text size, Y and X coordinates, your shadow settings etc.

Click the little blue 'A' in the top right side of the screen and select your font (more on fonts further down)

You also have the option to select the color wheel next to the 'A' and adjust your text color

Select the menu icon on the task bar at the bottom and select 'Save Style' if you want to keep what you created for later use as well.

Click 'Save Icon' which will create your icon for you

Back at the black edit screen remove the text from the text field and click OK

You should now have a custom text icon that will activate whichever screen you chose for it. You can click any app icon on your screen and follow the same procedure for your apps so all your apps also have text icons.

[FONTS] In a file manager go to /sdcard/Simple Text/ and create a folder named 'fonts' (that is plural with an 's' at the end). Next go to somewhere like dafont.com and download you some kewl fonts and place them within that 'fonts' directory you just created. Now when you go into Simple Text to do your editing you will have more fonts to choose from.

That's all there is to it.

You can also work with layers within the creation of your Simple Text. Notice below where I created a new layer, rotated my new text layer and intersected where both words have the letter 'E'.

For those with Launcher Pro maybe someone else can elaborate on how to do this as I don't have Launcher Pro so I don't know.

*fliparsenal, you can take this and post it in your OP if you want.

Cheers...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AudioFiend:
Thank you, i have used simple text before and will give it ago as a change is better than a rest, so they say. I have been using LPpro for quite some time now so pretty use to using it. I felt like a fresh start on the TF to see if i can find out anything new or even better than what im use too. Below are sum links i have used in the past and should be of some help with peeps wanting to use LPpro.

All shortcuts can be created from the below webcreator,prettycool bit of kit when you get use to it.

http://www.launcherpro.com/shortcutcreator/

A lot of shortcuts are already to hand here, takes a bit of a searching, but they generally have been already created.

http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2587

They are quite silmar LP and AWD after a bit of a poke around, but so far no FCs for me with AWD, but i have not got it doing much at the moment so we will have to see how it goes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] crecsky:
With simple text though doesn't it only make an Icon? Icons are quite small for making a good setup. Or is that where the x/y comes in?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Correct, it only makes a text icon. The X & Y coordinates can be used more efficiently when using smaller words like 'NET' or 'CAL', then you can move them within the restraints of the icon perimeters. If your text is too large or too small you can also use the 'Auto Scale' feature and it will scale it down or out to the perimeters of the icon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] crecsky:
Any way to permanently hide the action bar in ADW EX? When my screen rotates it brings it back. Annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Yeah, that's the only draw back to it. I believe it stays resident in memory until something else demands that memory allocation and then it disables it making the action bar visible again. AFAIK, no you can't. This also really annoys me. Every time I come out of Market or rotate the tablet it comes back. Hopefully the dev will fix it in the next update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] derf26:
I've only read through about 8 pages of this thread, so im sorry if this has been brought up before.

Im using minimalistic text to create a black semitransparent bar, followed by simple text to create launcher icons that change screen, or open folders. Im also using adwlauncher ex.

Here's the problem: I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the simple text icons bigger. They're all so small, much smaller than what you guys have on your screens. While the minimalistic text ones won't link to screen changing launcher actions. Im stuck.

Thanks for any help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
In the ADWLauncher EX settings go to 'UI Settings' > 'Icons' > 'New Icons Settings' > 'Icons Size' and adjust your icons to a custom size.

Would great to have someone with skillz cook up some flashable themes?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Thanks AcIdC0R3, I was actually going to post a tutorial today but yours is just great, adding how to edit the font was a plus! Thanks again!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I've been doing nothing but showing off my screens lately, it's an honor to be able to help out for a change. Even if it is something simple. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fliparsenal:
Updated! with navigation instructions! Keep the sceen coming guys! I'm happy that I stayed with Asus Transformer as my tablet vs. sticking with Tab 10.1 There seems to be Transformer users based on the hubs thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I thought I would share this screenie. The reason is so you can see what white text with a black shadow looks like on a white semi-transparent box. If you look close it appears that the text is slightly beveled and coming out of the white background box. The less transparent and more solid you go with the box the more prominent the bevel appears. With a very dark white box it makes the text almost seem 3D.

All I did was create a Simple Text and made sure that the shadowing was on for the text. Next I chose a Minimalistic Text 1x1 widget and went into Minimalistic Text and chose a pure white background and also that the transparency was about 2/3 of the way towards transparency. Next I went to predefined layouts and chose a custom layout. Then I took all the fields and dragged them to the trash can and then I would have a completely empty field. Left out of the layouts screen and clicked OK.

What I got was a white semi-transparent in a 1x1 size. I lined up my Simple Text icons and then went to edit the Minimalistic Text white box and dragged the border over the icons and VIOLA! I have a white box with white text with a black shadow giving me a sort of 3D look to my text.

Cheers...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] derf26:
Thanks! That solved one problem of mine, but created a new one. Now the simple text icons look very low resolution. I've tried changing the settings within simple text but it doesn't improve things much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
How many rows and columns are you using in the ADWLauncher EX settings? I use 8 columns and 8 rows and everything seems to work out OK.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] derf26:
I was using 10 by 10 at first, but I've now switched to 8 by 8, and it hasn't improved things much. Im also using the icon size increase setting at 150.

Here's a screenshot of what I mean. The browser icon looks really low res, despite me trying various custom fonts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] foamyxz:
can anyone help me witn my tablet, im forced to use LPP because ADWex wont work properly

I cant get it to extend my desktop to the edges, it wont over lap widgets etc.. none of its settings seem to work...

I have a B70 TF101 running 3.2

Thanks in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
When creating your custom icon is AntiAlias on within Simple Text with a green glow to it. I know if it's not then you will get low rez text icons. Also you might kick down the icon size to something like 125 or 130 instead.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] derf26:
antiaiias is definitely on, and even at 120 size, it's still noticeably low res, unlike all the hubs i've seen. Minmalistic text looks perfect regardless, probably because its a widget.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
With ADWLauncher EX installed try rebooting the tablet or reset ADW within ADW settings. If none of that works, try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] foamyxz:
Still not working.. i dont get what could be wrong...
