[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
it depends, i sometimes use original graphics and rework them. In most cases for specific icons. Here are guys for example that don´t want my backup icon, they want spb backup. Sometimes i´m wondering if they have more then one backup app on their phone ?

Somtimes i mix them with own graphics but often i make eveything from the scratch (like magic eightball and all the icons above)

Okay here is as a good example for a really simple icon to show you how to work with layers and photoshop:

First the base with a black gradience. Second a white circle with some Effects (inner shadow and contour around) and third a simple text "8" (font is Stencil Std) with a black to grey gradiance. then the glossy overlay. E voila=a eighball ;)

You need of course some ideas, must play around and must know some logical things about lights and shadows.

[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
mmh, would be definitly a good job if you wouldn´t have completly destroyed the blue base by trying to delete the shadow of the icon :D So if you need the blue base without shadows i can post it here. I would use also a light blue for the day weather and a darkblue for the night weather. I ALLREADY MADE WEATHERBACKGROUNDS IN MY PACK !;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] chancer63:
Damn!! I know I've done something wrong! :(

But I can learn..... :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
if you have photoshop, just disable the shadow in the template, if not i will do that for you or use my blank weather icons.

OKAY GUYS IM SURE YOU WILL LIKE THIS, this are handmade icons and you wont find somthing in other threads or in the web ;)

(Yahoo, Yahoo Messenger and CNN)

When you save the first icon rename it to ".png" it IS png ;)

I made some icons (Duden, LemmingsCE, Notepad, ScummVM, SlovoEd and a stopwatch) and want to share them.

Im no photoshop expert, so they dont look as good as bluemetalaxe's (and i originally made them for the wm 6.5 start menu and resized them to 96x96 pixel; but there is no visible quality loss)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
The First: RoboForm:

@bluemetalaxe: coming soon (end of the week), the wDaft application, similar to the iPhone iDaft one.

Could you please make a wDaft icon inspired from the iDaft one ?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Themes] alexirsi:
Wow, your icons are getting better and better blue. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
thanks, i´m trying to make all graphics by myself now, and the result seems to be (somtimes) better than copying :)

But the HDTweaks cost me more than one hour.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
@michoob: this is technical eays but i have a major problem as you can see: there are thousands of fonts out on the market, and i don´t know what font these guys use?

Maybe you have a idea, or can tell me what font you are using for your app ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeanne8fr:
I use this web tool to find out what a font is.

http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

It works pretty well but not with this iDaft font. The letters need to be separated.

Jeannette
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
Thank you jeanette. I allready used such a tool in the past but got no right result. But i will give it a try again.maybe i seperate some letters.
[Windows Mobile Themes] michoob:
Here it is:

http://www.dafont.com/daft-font.font

:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
mmh, the font for idaft is called "daft font" how stupid from me :D thanks

So i reworked it again and made this:

a black base with a green/turquoise overlay, the logo with a green gradiance, a dark green outline effect and a green glow around the text.
[Windows Mobile Themes] michoob:
Not bad bluemetalaxe!

Here is the dothedaft site which has inspired iDaft: http://www.dothedaft.com/idaft/

And here is the thread where wDaft is coming soon: http://htc-touch-hd.forumactif.biz/...aft-sur-iphone-adapte-pour-touch-hd-t7995.htm

Perhaps when the final wDaft is out, you should remake some colours, but I think you've got the right graphics :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
ok, good luck with your app. i´m ready for any color ;)

And thanks to you all for over 4000 Downloads !!! (and about 5 Donations)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ramez75:
They look great
[Windows Mobile Themes] michoob:
Not my app, but I was waiting for this iDaft port to Windows Mobile for several months :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] cyberhern:
Is it possible to make glass like png icons like torx had in the WAD theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
mmh,

1. i searched some minutes, but found just normal iphone icons from torx ?

2. then i found some icons (attached thumbnail), but this are bad copied and pasted Icons into a glass template, don´t think this are torx icons ?

3. glass icons can be made easy, either you set the complete tranparency of a excisting icon down (icon1), better would be to make it new from the scratch (icon 2)

4. Windows mobile devices have massive problems with transparency. It seems only WAD and UIltimateLaunch can handle them.

Anyway, don´t know how torx transparent icons look, and i can´t make over 300 new Icons and graphics.

If you can live with the blue tranparent icon, open any icon with photoshop or gimp, there is a transparency slider and set it to 40 or 50 percent transparency. thats all !

For the second icon, i used a white background, 40 percent transparency and NO ttransparency for the phone symbol. So this can´t be done with excisting icons.

Here is a Ireflect-Glass template for YOU, if anyone is interested in doing his own icons:
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
here is my touchbreak version. i made 3D Blocks, not to look so boaring. So this is made from the scratch, i was sitting 20 minutes on this glossy ball till it looks like the original. But thats no problem as i´m learning while doing that;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cyberhern:
Thanks for info will try playing with it.

Attached is some of Torx. In WAD they look great but in ipt they look real bad
[Windows Mobile Themes] EDILFUTURO:
wonderful!

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
@cyperhern:

Okay, so torx uses a blue/turqois background-gradiance, about 20 percent transparency and more glossy effects and the symbol/icon itself is not transparent.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
okay, so here we go.

I´ve seen some requests for RAM Icons, although i made one and anotherone for MemMaid. So i through the old (and ugly) Icon over board and made this really nice set of new RAM Icons for you guys:

RAM, Clean RAM and RAM Config. If you need other symbols just ask.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
1. Post one is updated with all Icons. The updatepack is now named "iReflect2"

2. I replaced some older Icons with better ones.

3. All Icons now again as ICO-files for ultimate launch

4. I made a extra Folder for all user icons that are posted here !

Thanks, but sorry, it somthing i´m working on for the iphone. maybe someone can reproduce it with WAD or something. Its not possible with ifonz or iphoneToday because of the much transparency i use (topbar, dots, Icon reflection....

New request

Hi, I have two new requests:

1 - an icon for blindrazer.

Something inspired from Poker Timer Pro from the iPhone could be good:

Or two other iPhone apps doing the same, but with less explicit icons, Poker Timer Dealer and Tim's Tourney Timer:

2 - an icon for Birthday2Calendar: it creates birthdays recurring events in the calendar, based on contacts information. Perhaps something inspired from iBirthday, Add Birthday, HappyDayz or Upcoming Birthdays:

Thank you in advance!
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
Hi, I just made an icon for Ginvaders, and plan to make more, and was wondering how you resize your icons in photoshop without distorting the image. When I make an image smaller, it becomes pixilated, etc. Please help, thanks :)

Heres a preview.

All is HANDDRAWN but the planet.

I made the ship, bullets, stars, and the planet ring.

I still have to remove the yellow dot on the planet, and fix up the bullets to look like ginvader ones. :)

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ramez75:
Great looking theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
@michoob: should be possible. Thanks for the inspiration. I will do somthing like that

@Val:

When using a picure you found in the web choose a small one, scaling down too much looks bad. So choose a planet picture with about 200 or 300 pixel to scale down. Also choose png pictures, they have better Qualitiy than jpgs. this should help.

I 've noticed a shadow on the upper left corner and the

spaceship (or the shadow of it) overlaps the icon.

I will later explain a simple trick so every graphic stays inside then shape of the icon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 12gage:
here's a few more I made, a girly folder, quake and GBA
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
I know about the shadow, and the overlapping is on purpose, but I have a version without the overlapping also.

So I just have to pick small images?

Arg. That means I have to redo the whole thing :(

Anyone want to resize for me? xD

Heres a newer version of my icon sofar.

I've changed the bullets, got rid of overlapping and the shadow.

I still need to make the bullets more symetrical.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ramez75:
BMA

When you get a chnace can you create an icon for SmartConverter.....Its a software used to convert units, length, area, weight, volume, temp, etc. I dont have an icon for it so whatever you think can be appropriate.

I know in your iReflect pack you have a currency converter icon

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] hays:
Spooky - just put handy converter on mine today. Currently using the currency icon but maybe a weights / ruler type icon would be better
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
New version of Ginvaders, still sucking at resizing, but I'm trying.

G in the backround, full ship, etc.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
@Val:

to be true: it looks like you´ve done nothing of this graphics by your own ? Really no Problem for me, but you wrote that. You can create a complex 3D spaceship and having big problems with simply drawing some bullets ;) But post the template if i´m wrong and i say sorry.

The other thing is that i don´t really understand your Problem. What graphics are you scaling up or down ? The background layer, the whole icon ? If you did that graphics by your own, you wouldn´d have this problems. I need detailed informations about you problem how and how you make icons ?

Anyway, this IS my handrawn (stars, planet and text) G-Invaders
[Windows Mobile Themes] ramez75:
Cool so I am not the only one :)

Anquet maps icon

Hi again,

I've got another request if possible: one of your great icons for Anquet Maps (http://www.anquet.co.uk). Thanks a lot for your hard work - my phone looks so much better now with all your icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
okay, the last request for today, a pokertimer:
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
I'll upload the template for it in a few hours. I'm going to get a haircut atm, haha.

No. I just didnt have time to do the bullets. I wanted them to look like the ingame ones, which are yellow dots... so thats what I made.

The problem was that I made the 90x90 icon first, and wanted to scale the entire file down to 30x30ish without the image becoming blurry and distorted.

I'm using Photoshop CS3 Extended.

I tried remaking the image on a 32x32 canvas (omnia icon size), but I wouldnt be able to make a clear image then. :(

Heres the Zip file showing how I made the icon.

As you can see, I'm not too good at photoshop... hence not knowing how to resize my image like I'm asking.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
30x30 ? this is very small. So you can get a good icon in that size only if it's made in that size. Usually for such small

sizes somenone would use a symbol not a detailed graphics.

The 96 pixel icons here can be scaled down to about 48 pixels. They loose details but quality is okay.
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
So the icons you guys make in 90x90 - 93x94 stay the size they are?

Do they appear smaller on your phone than in the previews on the site?

Or if you have a smaller version of the preview icons, what are their sizes?

I'm sorry I'm so noobie at this.. never made icons, and I dont use Iphonetoday or WAD. I just thought I could contribute.
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
Sorry to double post, and be so noobie, just trying to contribute.

My icons might not be Bluemetalaxe's level of photoshop awesomeness, but I tried making one for opera and caver.

I'm sure there are others for these apps, but I just wanted to add :)

The first opera, I didnt know where to place 'pera' so.. sorry :P

The 3rd caver may be a little complex, but I like it :)

The Operas and the 3rd caver are all handmade but the ball.
[Windows Mobile Themes] michoob:
The pokertimer icon is awesome!

Thank you .
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
@Val: I took a look at your template, so you really made this very nice spaceship. I must say sorry, you have good graphic skills and good ideas. For some reason many of your icons look fuzzy ? So i don´t know why, maybe you should not work with pictures you found and made all new from the scratch ?

To come to your last Icons: Some nice ideas, but the "pera" overlaps the "O" and, the last two icons have the icon shadow on the left side. Try to draw the cave, the ball and a new cleaner cave backgound from the scratch and they will look sharper. Somthing like that:
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
I like yours :)

Yeah, some are fuzzy because I used a 30x30 caver icon, and blew it up to 90x90.

Pera overlaps because I had no more room, but I'm trying to fix that.

I'll get rid of the shadows on those two icons, I must have played with global light by accident.

I have a lot of ideas for icons that I think would look nice...

If I supply templates and examples, you think you could clean them up?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
ah !, never blow up small graphics ! And let the O overlapt the "pera" that looks better. If i can help i will do so.

As you can see, i draw the cave by hand, added a texture, some lights and shadows and under that layer is a second cave layer just with grey and black color. So this looks more 3D.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hsmcd:
wow~cool!! nice released~now i can add these super cool icon for my winmo 6.5's short cut hehe...

btw, can i share you guys nice work in my site?? of course, all credits will be directed back to this thread =p
