So... I'm guessing this is a bit far out for XDA Dev's but let's see eh?

I have a E1752cu 3G Dongle and I need to be able to display the LED on the dashboard as it's behind a plastic plate.

You can see where the LED is at the bottom. Now what's the best way do we think? What about this :

I will post some short tutorials that I hope to be userfull.

If the topic will not prezent interest, it will be shut down.

Thank's !

See all my work, here

Steps for create skins.

1. Download "UCCW" app from PlayStore (free app).

2. Touch your screen and select "widget".

3. Search "UCCW" widget and selected.

4. Search dimension if you need.

I choose for explanation "UCCW 4X4".

And here I think we must clarify some things.

Whatever launcher you are using, in his settings you will find "homescreen settings", where you can choose the number of collumns and rows you want to use on your screen.

It will form a grid on the screen.

You can create any configuration you want.

For my example, I choose a 4collumns and 8rows configuration, so I will show you how to arrange 2 4x4 skins on the screen.

I always work with the same settings of the screen.

- no statusbar

- no dock

- no margin (vert. and horiz.)

- disable nav bar

The example you see has those settings.

From the moment you start to create a skin you must decide what settings you will use.

There is no problem in using other settings, but if you share the skin with someone, that someone must respect you settings exactly for the skin to fit.

5. Once you open the 4x4 widget you will see "new" which you will select.

After you press the widget on the screen will open the work space.

Exiting the app, you'll see how the skin looks on the screen.

I always covered the entire 4x4 grid.

Press the skin and choose the "resize" option to see how does the skin fit the grid.

See how the skin sides must be resized.

6. Touch the skin and go back to editing.

Press "edit object" and select "background".

You will find all the options which you csn modify.

Search "dimensions" and select it.

With "width" you will resize the background's lenght and with "height" the height.

Increase the "width" till the skin fills the side margins.

Do the same with the "height" too.

Definitely you will retry many times, till you obtain the wanted result.

How do you check the dimensons during the edit ?

You always go back to the skin on the screen and press "resize".

You will see what modifications are needed "width" or "height".

When you reached the final form, go back to editing and press "save" - "save skin".

Rename it and press "ok".

In order to cover the entire screen add again the skin on the screen.

You will have two 4x4 skins.

Everytime at the begining, you must decide your screen settings.

My settings are:

4collumns and 8rows

no statusbar

no dock

no margin

disable nav bar

I decided to create 2 4x4 skins.

1. Add the widget on the screen ucc widget - uccw 4x4 - "new".

The 4x4 widget will appear on the screen, than you would have to resize it to fit your screen.

For this, go to "controls#3" and change "width" and "height".

2. Add in the skin "shape1" which you can fit by "x-0" and "y-0".

In "controls#4" set "width" 500 and "height" identicly with the height of the background you have created the first time.

Mine is 754.

In "controls#3" set "radius" 8 and "dx" 8. The color must be black.

("dx" moves the "shadow" horizontal and "dy" moves it vertical)

Add to skin "shape2", which you resize and position identicle with "shape1" without adding "shadow" in "controls#2" set "see trought effect".

4. Repet exactly the same steps for the second 4x4 skin used in your screen.

5. You will see a discontinuance of the "shadow" on the screen.

For corection you will have to move "shadow" for "shape1".

At the bottom skin; "controls#3" "dy" -7 (the shadow will rise).

At the top skin; "dy" +7 (the shadow will fall)

6. Now, to the right side of the skin, you will respect the used steps (1-5).

Add "shape3" to the skin, wich you will resize "width" 200 and "height" identic with the dimension used in "shape1".

At mine 754.

After redimensioning, fit it soldering to the right edge of the background.

For "shadow" use the same values as you did for "shape1" but "dx" will be with "-" and the "shadow" will come to left.

Add "shape4" and repet step 3.

7. For you to create "appdrawer" add to the skin another 6 "shapes" which you will resize 30x30 and fit them where they belong.

8. According to the wall used change the color of the skins background.

9. Add in the bottom skin "image1, 2, 3, 4".

Fit them as you want and select the "image" you want. ("controls#2", "image")

Resize if neded ("scale")

10. In the top skin add

Fit and resize them as you want (chose your own font)

11. With the "hotspot" you will make the skins functional.

Fit, resize and set the apps you want.

(For "appdrawer" select "shorcut" and chose "appdrawer shorcut" of the launcher that you use)

Finaly, enter uccw settings, select "lock widgets" and set it "on")

That's all !

I hope this will be helpfull for someone !

In this tutorial I will show you how to make a part of the screen, not all of it.

And with this knoledge you can make your own type of screen.

After you have set your screen settings (collumns and rows), add "UCCW" widget on the screen.

(For this type of screen I used 2 4x4 uccw skins on a 4 collumns 8 rows screen.)

After the widget is added on the screen, open it and add "image1"

Select "image1"

and resize it with "scale" from "controls#2

(You must use adequit images for "UCCW". For images I use DesktopVizualiseR app. DVRImageCrop)

With position "controls#1" you put it wherever you like.

Select and add "shape1", than press "sort" and drag "shape1" under "image1"

(As a rule, in "sort", in order, the last ones in the list, are the first that appear in front of your eyes.)

With "position" move "shape1" on top of "image1"

In "controls#4" resize "shape1" (width and height) till you cover completly "image1"

In "controls#3" set like this: radius 10, dy 20, dx -20 and chose a dark gray color.

After that press "sort" and change the order

The rezult is this one

Add "static text1" and arange in this order

With position set the text on top of the image and select color white for it (use whatever font you like)

As a visual trick for "static text", go to "controls#3" and set this way: radius 2, dy 3, dx 3, color black!

By learning those steps, you can create a full screen!

You can use whatever dimension, colors, fonts, radius, ... you want!

I hope this will realy help someone.

Finnaly I got a phone on which I can realize this tutorial.

I made this on a Nexus4.

You just have to understand the steps and the idea of how this is done and than you can apply them on whathever phone you have.

At my skins you always have to respect some settings, in particular the dimensions (collumns and rows) so it can fit your screen.

After i seted the launcher on the needed dimensions (5collumns and 10rows) , I downloaded the skins and put them on the screen, the rezult was this one.

There are 5 5x2 skins. You can see that the margins are uncovered.

The first step is to create a 5x2 skin, made to fit your screen, so that when you attach them together they cover your entire screen.

Why so ? Because you will know the background's dimensions (whidth and height), which you are going to use on modifyng the skin.

Open the skin you want to start with (I chose the one on the bottom) and in the background settings (whidth and height) set the numbers you have used in the 5x2 skin realized earlier.

This is the rezult

Now you can see how the skin's background covers the screen.

For you to go on from here, you must know which is which (shape1,2..., image1,2..., text1,2...).

To know them I recomand you to use "opacity" (minimum - maximum on every objects).

Knowing which is shape1, try to move it where is belongs and reduce it's height to fit your skin.

The next step is to resize the image to fit the skin.

With position and reduceing it's dimension (scale) try to move it where it belongs.

We go back to shape1 to reduce whight, to fit the image.

Next, modify static text 1, reduce it's dimension and with position, move it where it belongs.

Next, pozition and resize the "hot spot" by changing width and height and move it where it belongs.

After creating the first "button", put in line the other two as well.

In my atempt to modify the skin, trying to resize shape 2 and 3, I realized that shape 1 was to big for them to fit the screen together.

From the next pic you will see the error.

(Shape 3 smaller than 1,2)

I told you this because it is normal not to get the right dimensions from the first time.

You can solve this by changing shape1's width so that shape 2,3 fit.

By making shape 1 smaller , obviosly we must resize the image that coresponds to shape 1

We will go on by getting the rest of the images to their spot , as well as the coresponding text

We will end by placeing the "hotspot" to the buttons

The final result is this one

Continueing to do as you learned with all the skins, you will get the final result, the entire screen.

First step in creating a "screen" is to establish it's settings.

I chose these settings:

-4collumns and 8rows

-no margin

-no dock

-no statusbar

-disable nav bar

And I decided to make 4 4x2 widgets.

There are two methods to make this concept.

Today you will see the eazyest one.

Readyng the tutorial from post 2 of this thread, you will create for the first time the 4x2 widget and add it to the screen.

Then we will start to edit it.

We must divide the image in 5 stripes so we can create 4 separating lines between them.

We add in the widget "shape1" which we edit.

I chosed a width of 6 and a lenght equal to the lenght of the background.

Add 3 more "shape" and set them identical and set them so we obtain 5 equal strips.

Because of the "screen" which it will have 4 4x2 widgets and for the moment we are going to put them one next to the other, we must create a slit.

For this add 2 more "shape" which we will edit as so.

"height" equal of the half of "shape1-4" (3).

"width" identical with "shape1-4".

Once created we will stick them to the up and down margins of the widget.

Now we go back and add "special effects" for all of the 6 "shape".

The main widget is ready and I recomand you to save it.

This is how it will look with the 4 widgets which we need added.

From now one everything depends on you.

I choosed a light gray color for the background and setted "alpha50" for transparence.

This is the result.

I added the "clock" and decided to make the "buttons" from text ("simple text").

This is the result.

You decide what to add on your screen. Clock, image, text ... .

!!! THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST RESPECT !!!

After you add every thing you need in the widget, select "sort objects" and make sure that everything you added are on top of the list, than followed by "shape1", "shape2", ... "shape6".

!!! Is a prerequisite !!!

That is it !

2) i open the app create new widget and i would like to move on the very top of the screen i have REMOVE (android) BIN button

3) where can i find icons , skins, fonts and everything like your job ?

Thank you in advance :good:

A stupid question.. can you make the entire screen in 2 4x4 pictures, in Photoshop, and then just add the hotspots, (and the stuff you want, like clock or something, on top of it)?

(Getting my S4 on Monday.. and haven't been able to try it out yet)
[Android Themes] clod007:
Sorry for my late answer , i searched other phones to test my skins .

I have tested them on ApexPro and other launchers , and never seen the problem you had for point one .

The loading you are talking about ussualy hapens to me when i reboot my phone , try to reboot your phone after you install the skins .

For point two the solution is simple , press the skin select resize , drag the top dot to the top then drag the bottom after it .

For point three , all my work here

For apex (apex pro mine), enter in edit mode, press hotspot, press apex action, press appdrawer.

For whatever launcher , usually those are the steps , unfortunately there are launchers which don't allow you to set the hotspot for the drawer , if your launcher is one of those that can't , i suggest to use the gestures like "swipe down" , "swipe up" .

I hope this is usefull !

Do I have to put the. png files in there as well or only the .uccw files?

:laugh:
[Android Themes] clod007:
As I already told you, first of all chose the wanted dimensions and the settings you will work on.

Today I chosed to create 2 4x4 skins for a 4collumns 8rows screen with the fallowing settings:

-no margin

-no dock

-no statusbar

Add the clean skin on the screen

Now we can start to edit it.

1. Add "shape1" and resize it till we will have 3 equal side parts.

2. Add "shape2" and chose the triangle form.

Chose "angle 90" resize it and set it in the lower part of "shape1".

Add shadow and set it black.

Go to "sort objects" and drag "shape2" under "shape1".

3. Add "shape3,4,5" in order to create the zig-zag.

4. We can see that new parts appeared and we must add the shadow.

So we'll add 2 "shape" and set them like "shape2" in order for them to fit properly.

5. Just as we did for "shape2", we go again to "sort objects" and drag "shape6,7" behind "shape1".

6. For the "shapes" (3,4,5) used to create the zig-zag, we'll set the "see trought effect".

7. By setting "alpha0" for the skin background, we get to the final form.

From here you have to set the color you want ("shape1") and add whatever you want more in the skin (image, text, shape).

It is ESENTIAL for you to drag everything you extra add in front of "shape1" in "sort objects".

8. If you want to make the skin transparent, you'll have to continue to edit the skin.

By starting to get transparence to "shape1" you'll see that everything you have ben eath it, we'll become see able.

For you to "repair" it, you must add another "shape" and edit it so it will fit exactly "shape1".

"Shape8" added, with the help of "sort objects" you will add it behind "shape1" after, you will give it the "see trought effect".

And this will be the final form.

Last thing for you to do is to fix the superior skin as so as you did in this one. Good luck!

For the umpteenth time I ask for your support for my work.

So, if you consider this tutorial userfull please press the "thank's button".
