Guys remember that logos have to shrink down. Try not to have too much text and make sure the lettering stands out. For example Slymobi, yours are illegible once shrunken which makes them impractical as a logo.

Mwahaha

Wow I'm 34 and I feel like I'm at school again. Thanks for singling me out !! :p

I have already said that my versions are not to be contenders and they are just ideas that people could continue if they were liked.

I placed my icon on screen as the uccw icon and it looked fine on my N4 so I posted it here. Maybe on lower res screens it looks poor I don't know.

Maybe you could make it legible and practical ??

Apologies for singling you out. That wasn't my intention. In your screen shot, you can see the left on is the least legible and the centre on the most. Let the contrast and fonts do the heavy lifting.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Not bad. Definitely needs a stronger and heavier font though. Also the blue feels alien and the chrome won't be noticed on smaller screens. Perhaps use the same colour for both?

[Android Apps and Games] SunshineCat:
Love the app! It'd be nice if we could choose other weather providers such as Accuweather, the two providers we have don't seem accurate and it's a shame ;/
[Android Apps and Games] LOBBS:
I like the idea of the screenshot generator that BBB has been showing. I just don't want to be the one to pick a couple of skins to showcase. Too many great devs on this app.
[Android Apps and Games] QNBT:
Right now I just put everything together without checking any details so stuff like that has to be fixed.

The white border around the cube basically represents "U" and "C" while the cube is a widget, pretty far fetched xD

Icon (the background wont be there in the final version, in other words it should be transparent)

Banner (informative text/description can be added on the sides)

Screenshots that could be used in the app preview section, below are three themes that I've created using UCCW:

Geee... so many submissions already. I would've made some too... if I had extra-ordinary graphics skills. BBB already submitted a few and looking forward to one from Pooley. :fingers-crossed:

Meantime, spotted an issue with UCCW app. Hope Vin sees this and this doesn't get drowned in 'new graphics' wave. :D

Hi Vin,

I'm loving the hell out of the new beta. The few shifts are really good.

An old bug has been spotted though. Element "today" and "tomorrow", (mostly used in showing weather for today and tomorrow). "Today" actually shows yeaterday's name and "Tomorrow" shows today's name. For example, see this screenshot

In this, today's date is 25 Sep Tuesday. But in the weather part right below that, "Today" element is showing Monday and "Tomorrow" element is showing Tuesday. Wonder how I never noticed it. Needs to be fixed.

And the "edit Battery circle color" in APK skin bug I talked about earlier.

New discovery in the beta - when you click the 'New skin' button, it asks you the desktop grid size and the skin size you want to create. Awesome. :good:

(I had originally posted it in the skins thread few days back; not realizing it was skins thread and not the app thread. :p )

hello mates

how to Unlock the blocked skins for some editing ??

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] mon5trum:
If it is from an apk or you downloaded the theme from the play store you can't! You need the uzip file so you can be able to modify themes

Sent from outer space with the power of ANDROID! ^_^
[Android Apps and Games] Aimen7:
is there any way to get the uzip file ?
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
If I'm not mistaken only paid skins from the store should really be locked.

so maybe if you are talking about others work you wish to edit then you would need to speak to the owner and ask. Providing you have bought the apk to begin with.

There are ways but I think it would be very impractical for any of us to post these kind of methods here to be safe.

If its a paid apk then email the owner and ask them.

If its your apk then if you have followed all the guides posted in this thread ( edit: whoops wrong thread - ) then you should be aware of how.

If I've misunderstood your point then explain again.

Regards

G-DRIVE All UCCW Skins n Wallpapers
[Android Apps and Games] Aimen7:
thank you mate

it is a paid apk from the market, it is Square binary UCCW skin.

and btw, no way to get the uzip even by 7zip ?
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
Well this would be stealing in simple terms. You need to email the owner and ask if they have a uzip of the work or if they will give you details of how to unlock the apk. Bare in mind they will have your purchase on record and will check if you have bought the apk from the store. So email with your Google account address that you purchased the apk with to prove you are being legit.

Edit.

I see this is a skin from pooley so you can pm him here on xda. He is very helpful and one of the friendly members so I'm sure he will be able to provide the help you need.

Milder shade of blue. I'm going to respectively disagree that the elements won't scale properly for smaller screens.
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
Yes, for the simple fact it doesn't scale well due to the fact it's thin. If you're using text, you can't assume everyone has the same screen size as you. Also at a glance it should identify the app. You shouldn't need to TRY and read it.

Thanks for this. Been looking for a way to get hotspots to open an app folder and this works beautifully!
[Android Apps and Games] dmoses1969:
I really like that. Looks awesome. But,

Personally most of us know what UCCW is and are familiar with it for the most part. I really think it needs an icon that visually shows what it is. But what would that be? Started out as a cool custom clock widget and look what it has turned into. Much more than just a clock widget now.

I don't know about everyone else but I find myself a lot of the time "judging an app by its cover" so to speak. Don't get me wrong, UCCW is my favorite app but if I knew nothing about it and was just the average person surfing google play, I probably wouldn't look at just because I had no idea what it was based off of the icon image.

Out of all the bad*** UCCW themes out there I am surprised someone hasn't made an icon based off of one of the more popular themes.
[Android Apps and Games] fclifton:
If the Yahoo weather API has it, could the Probability of Precipitation be added as an item?
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Yes. It should be recognizable, yet brushed up
[Android Apps and Games] LOBBS:
The icon is basically your company or product logo much like the blue oval for Ford or four rings for Audi. It's simply a symbol that is meant to be immediately identifiable with an entity. Ford's blue oval or Audi's rings don't tell you a thing about their cars or even that the product they represent is automotive in nature. In Android, the largest you'll likely ever see the icon is 144x144 and that's if you're on one of the newer 1080p devices. That is far too small to graphically represent the power of the app.

The feature graphic and screenshots are where you would showcase the works of the many great devs. I can think of at least a dozen guys, each with their own style, that are worthy of having their screenshots featured in the listing of the app. That's how you can truly demonstrate the power and versatility of UCCW.
[Android Apps and Games] X_RATed:
And for corporate and product identity, the simpler the better, history is full of examples. (Ford, Chevrolet, Coca-cola, Chrysler, MacDonald, so on so forth)

Personally, I believe there's absolutely nothing wrong with the original logo, (icon) it may not be the most colorful or the most attractive, but it's UCCW, and as such it's already recognized worldwide, after all, we've all seen a lot of mediocre software with super attractive icons, and that's all there is. UCCW on the other hand sells itself for its awesome quality, that's why I stick to my first comment, if the original is not to be kept, I'd go with BBB's fresh, slight mode. But this is only my personal opinion.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] mon5trum:
As I agree with you X-RATed I would also like to add that the dev is also giving others a chance to contribute their work and to showcase it for million of others to see!

[Android Apps and Games] X_RATed:
That's absolutely legit, besides, there's also vin's right to have everything revamped if he sees the changes fit, and I would not even think of arguing against it, my two cents on the matter are only academic, from an old, outdated graphic designer point of view. Notice that I have focused solely on the logo part of the story, the rest of it is fair ground, with more room for creativity and less restrictions. ;)

i have an image i want for the background, the canvas size it's on is 362x240 but the actual background is smaller. If i load it as the background image it's stretched and if i load it as an image member it's also stretched. I can then scale it but it's pretty hard to get it to it's actual dimensions, and it always looks distorted and not as crisp as it's meant to be.

Am i missing something? I've tried changing size in background to 362x240 but it's still stretched, and i've tried smaller dimentions but can't get it right. Am i supposed to put the image on a canvas the same size as the widget i want it to use? I just want to load it and have it the exact size i made it.

Trying to port my skin over.

So changing the canvas size to 480x240 fixes it so i can load it as background. Do i need to make all the images width the same as the screen i'm using?
