Ah well, not a big issue for me, I can work with it :D

Hope you're not a perfectionist, but I'm guessing you are and it's probably driving you crazy LOL
[Android Software Development] vrooden:
Looks good size far.

Just a thought: could you please unzip to an other folder than downloads? I have the strange feeling Windows 7's virtualization or access rights might interfer.

I think I remember having had a similar issue when testing.

I am new to Windows 7, just using it for a few weeks, so I'm not sure. Can test for myself only in 1 or 2 hours.
[Android Software Development] vrooden:
Okay, here I am at my PC.

Tested myself with Windows 7, downloaded the ZIP, extracted inside "Downloads"-folder, created subfolder inside "Assets\IconSets\" and placed your attached icon there. Started Icon Set-Builder and the folder and icon showed up.

Another wild guess... Did you only download the ZIP, extracted (inside "Downloads") and started the tool from there? Or did you also download the MSI-installer, installed it and start the tool from the created shortcut?

Please don't get me wrong!! Happened to me more than once that I worked inside one folder but started an app etc from a different one. :silly:

If you installed the MSI-installer, you have to look in the folder (if installed to default location) "C:\Users\{Your User Name}\AppData\Roaming\Icon Set-Builder NG\".

(BTW: Just realized the folder "AppData" does not show up in Explorer. Whoops! But that location is per default suggested by Advanced Installer for per-user installed apps. Anyway... so I will at least place a "Open Assets Folder" button in the next version *g*.)

EDIT: Does downloading additional items from web work? Do they show up vice versa correctly in the folder your looking at?
[Android Software Development] polstein:
Very very amazing program. I was able to pull icons from Titanium with no problems, and your auto-download makes it easy to preview to see what my apps look like under same nice templates.

What do I need to be able to use my own icon set/template?

Some of the packs I downloaded are just icons (with app pix) - I assume they can't be used. I think a couple include a "blank" icon png.

A couple have psd templates, not sure if that is enough.

BTW, the one I am using the most lately is CrystalHD (edit: just found out it's in the play store - looking into it now). Works well since you can see most of your wallpaper behind it.

Will read entire thread later tonight!

edit - Imported Titanium icons, trying to figure out how to apply one of the downloaded templates to it now. There a dummy guide for your app? :)
[Android Software Development] rmean:
this app is pure awesomeness. like you read my mind and then coded this one lol :) thank you!
[Android Software Development] mloc33:
Yeah to both, since I couldn't find any installation instructions, I guessed it, hehe.

Not at laptop yet until tomorrow, will let you know if I get it working, cheers.
[Android Software Development] vrooden:
Thanks!!

What you need... well, I'd say basically you need a graphics editor if you want to create your own templates. I use Paint.NET and found it pretty sufficient for all my needs.

Next, some icons to be used as based. You may download about 400 standard app icons in "My App Icons", own can be added by extracting from Titanium Backup. If you plan a minimal look, you might prefer the included "Simple ICS" or "Simple Metro" icons. For a lot more simple icons: download the "MetroStudio" icons set from with the tool, it contains about 1700 icons (based on SyncStation's free MetroStudio).

Since you mention CrystalHD, let's take these as an example. I downloaded the set from deviantart.

To use CrystalHD as a template, I needed to create a plain icon. I combined "AppOrg.png" and "AshfordUniversity.png" (attached here). This image PNG I copied to the "Assets\Template\" and "Assets\Overlay\" folder.

Next I started the tool and started playing with the settings. ICS- and Metro-styled icons are easy. For app icons you might load the settings "SAMPLE - ICS'd App Icons", these create plain-white icons from the app icons.

Save settings you like in "Settings >> Save". Or use "Settings >> Save as default", so the settings are loaded later simply if you choose your template in the list.

Attached are samples with ICS, Metro, App Icons and even Textual. Also you'll find an exported ZIP, import in the tool via "Settings >> Import from ZIP" to use.

Hope this helps you getting started.

I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet, as I'm pretty busy at the moment, but I'm looking forward to it. It looks like a really awesome program, and I see a lot of people have been working with it already.

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to make this and put it out there for others to use.
[Android Software Development] polstein:
Wow..just wow. Reading your post several times & trying to follow along. I have access to Photoshop at work, but I'm round a 2 out of 10 (on a good day). Might have been able to get help making the blank icon from someone here, but thank you for making it & the .zip for the icons I like.

I just generated a set from my Titanium Icons, using the default settings imported in your .zip. I do note that the icons are.. kind of blurry without the sharp lines in the original. Going through your settings to mess around & see if I can do anything to sharpen it up a bit.

Thanks once again!

edit - "brightness to transparency" setting seems to be helping, but dang, there's a lot of settings in here!!! (that's a good thing, once I figure out what they do)
[Android Software Development] vrooden:
Titanium stores the icons in the "*.properties"-files with a size of 72x72. The icons extracted are thus also 72x72. If used in sizes other than that in the tool, they have to be scaled, which causes naturally some blurriness.

I'm afraid this might be the reason.

You might ran the icons extracted through a batch converter (i.e. the one included in FastStone Image Viewer), resize to 144x144 (double size) and apply "sharpen" (or "unsharpen mask"). Though this creates only artificial "crispness", those might produce better results. Haven't tried myself, though.

Anyway... the fact remains, that any scaling (either up or down) causes loss of details.

Bottom line: you might try using the application icons at their native 72x72 size and see if that gives you better results.
[Android Software Development] polstein:
Was just playing with sizes a bit & came back to check. I was noticing that using Desktop Visualizer, the icons from the original set come in as a bit bigger then the ones I generated (weird, since DV resizes things).

I also noted that the original icons from the Icon Pack are 118x120. Tried to mimic that setting in your app, and also got the slightly smaller icon in Desktop Viz. Hmm.

--

One quick sample I checked from Titanium came back as 96x96. I'll have to hit the web & manually download the icons I want, or go into the apk files & rip the best one I find. Only 20 icons, so not so bad, and only 1 needed for testing :)

Image I made with your app is far right, 4th down (looks like an old Microphone). Notice it's just a biiit smaller. This one was used with the transparency off, which makes it sharper, but is no longer a "white & mask" only image.

Photobucket Image

=====

Here's a sample Icon in it's original form (from Titanium), then with CrystalHD with no settings tweaked, then with thre transparency off. I do see a size difference, so will have to see why. Note the 2nd isn't blurry so much as invisible!

Ideally, I'd have to Photoshop it, outline the Skull thing, crop out the eyes (so they would be masks) and get rid of everything else. I think. Otherwise, you'll always have the border-in-a-border thing going on.
[Android Software Development] vrooden:
Oops, forgot to mention that ;) Yesy, original is 118x120. That's not square. Also my default settings are 128x128, so when I'd used that size as input it'd got scaled. So I extended the canvas to 128x128 (5px left/right, 4px top/bottom).

That's the reason for the liiitle biiit difference in size you noticed. If you want exact the same results, you can use the 128x128 template, set crop off the 4px/5px for template, mask and overlay. Also output size must be 118x120.

Attached there's a V2 of my CrystalHD sample. Also played with the settings, disabled "greyscale" on iconset, changed transparency and blend mode for overlay, chnaged "color fx" settings... getting close ;) See samples of old and new settings.

Interesting! What phone are you using? Mines a Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, display 480x854, Titanium has 72x72 icons. What's your specs? I guess it has 720x1280 display, which results in 96x96 icons. Very great discovery, if I'm correct!

Download... hm... Play Store already HAS larger icons. Maybe if I'll find a way to rip the icons programmatically from there...

That's how I started, but it's really a PIA, had a few hundred APKs backed up.

Try the attached V2, looks much better. See samples.

There are other factors, too. I think there's no perfect setting. Dark icons will be problematic -- brightness to alpha makes black levels invisible.
[Android Software Development] polstein:
Getting a crash with version 2. Imports from zip fine, selects from drop-down fine, but when I get the "import default settings" and click yes, it crashes. Tried cleaning out all Crystal files & re-importing - and got this error (well, this is part of it):

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Value of '7' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'.

Parameter name: Value

Samsung Galaxy Note, with the big 5.3" screen. Yep, 800x1280 iirc.

That would be very interesting :) Just would need a way to let the user specify what apps to do then.

Agreed. I kind of the the transparency off, but like you said I'd never match the existing ones perfectly.

I do wish some of the devs would stop putting little square backgrounds behind their logos. That's what got me started replacing icons way back when - they're so inconsistent in design!!
[Android Software Development] vrooden:
Holy Crap!!! There's a universally stupid bug!

In the settings-file decimal values are stored in european(?) notation (1.000,00 means 1000). So the gamma value is "numIconSetLevelsGamma.Value:=0,7". When reading the settings on a system with US notation (1,000.00 = 1000), the value is read as 7 instead of 0.7, which is larger than the maximum allowed value of 2.

Stuuuupid!!!

For now, please open the settings file and replace all commas "," with colons ".", that should allow reading the settings.
[Android Software Development] vrooden:
Reuploading 1.0.2 (MSI has different signature, so you may install over old 1.0.2). Fixed the decimal-seperator bug, added workaround so settings with wrong seperator ("," instead of ".") can be be read properly.

[Android Software Development] vrooden:
Very strange... downloaded 1.0.2 myself, unzipped, imported CrystalHD_V2.zip and applied. No problems. Changed my PCs regional settings to English (US) and English (UK), also no problems.

Just to make sure I just built and uploaded a 1.0.3 version. This one contains the last culture related fix (comma vs colon). Also another small bug is fixed: if different values for crop left/right/top/bottom were used, when loading these settings in some cases left/right/bottom were lost and overwritten by top value.

Direct download links:

http://iconsetbuilder.echtzeitig.de/Download/IconSetBuilderNG_1.0.3.msi

http://iconsetbuilder.echtzeitig.de/Download/IconSetBuilderNG_1.0.3.zip

Attached is CrystalHD_V3.zip, basically identical to CrystalHD_V2.zip, but exported with V1.0.3. Also contains sample settings for iconsets "MetroStudio" (about 1700 icons) and "PixelPerfect" (looks great).

NachoB, would you mind exporting your settings to a zip for your Mirrored Textual Icon's? I found them in the Icon thread and they got me started messing around with Icon Set-Builder, but I can't figure out how you got them Mirrored.

Thanks,

Dave
[Android Software Development] vrooden:
"Mirror" you find on the "Icon FX"-Tab. Enable it, adjust the "Axis"-position to your desired location. Also you need to adjust the width, which is the size of the reflection.

BTW: the Semi Sense-template might also give you some help.
[Android Software Development] NachoB:
Let me know if you still need it or if vrooden's post helped.

(Mirror is on the Icon Set Tab) :)

When I try to use some of these settings, such as the above, it locks up Icon Set-Builder pretty hard. So some of these settings I don't even try. There's others, as I come across them I'll post here. Seems anything I'm trying to do right now is causing it to do a slow motion freeze..

Trying to figure out (trouble shoot) another issue at the moment.

update;

I have managed to unroot the phone but I cant seem to root it again......very strange.I have tried following this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 but there is a problem.

when I install the cwm zip(think its v5.8),I basically cant do anything in its menu.It only scrolls down once in the menu,then hangs/freezes.Once it did work and I was trying to install the busybox stuff,but it couldnt find anything to install.I cant remember but I did see a " e:verification signature error".

So I tried to root using odin and basically it wont flash the required .tar file for rooting successfully and Ive got to keep reflashing the stock .tar file...

Has anyone encountered these problems before.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
How did you try to scroll, with volume up/down? If I am not mistake this CWM is a touch version ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
It was just the basic one.I've never seen recovery acting the way that version was doing.Out of the 6 options I could only scroll to 3 of them,and it wouldn't go near the other 3 options.

I eventually fixed the problem by trying combos with pressing the power and home buttons,and I think I got the other file in that link installed(the root).Then I stuck on siyah(c/w the touch recovery you said),which meant I could reinstall everything by the nand backup.

I can't remember if I got out of the other part of the recovery problem(verification) by getting the 2nd file from the internal memory and flashed that successfully.
