Scrolling Wallpaper Dock

This is a repost from here as it is not HTC Desire specific. Everything should work on any phone with 800*480 resolution.

Concept

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been experimenting with what I believe to be a unique use for the scrolling wallpaper. If using LP with 6 homescreens your wallpaper scrolls exactly one dock icon (1/5th of the screen).

I started playing around with using this as a screen indicator and dock icons to jump between homescreens using LPP Shortcuts. Shortcuts to all 6 screens are attached. I found you could effectively use the scrolling effect of the wallpaper in place of a screen indicator (although it goes the wrong way).

It takes a bit of playing around with the wallpaper to get it 100%. I've included a .PSD of one of my files, however the others aren't really in an up-loadable state. I've included all the scrollable wallpapers I've made as well.

I hope you get some fun out of this - If you do make something interesting and unique please post here to share it with everyone else!

Tutorial

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've had a few people wanting a tutorial on how to get the rainbow wallpaper set-up. Please keep comments and question in this thread, I would rather have questions answered publicly so they only have to be answered once.

The white bar is my own and is only available for OpenDesire, the rest of this theme requires the following and should work on any rom;

*Tutorial Files

*Launcher Pro

*Desktop Visualizer

*Apps Organizer (or Folder Organizer)

*DigiClock

*Smooth Calendar

*^3 (search: "pub:Filipe Abrantes")

*SMS Unread Count (Optional - Mod attached)

*Images attached

*Time and patience​

Launcher Pro Plus Settings​

This give you the basis of the scrolling wallpaper 'dock'. From this I hope some run with the idea and produce their own wallpapers and themes

Apps Organizer​

This is the free version, however I would recommend buying folder organizer as you can add bookmarks and contacts in the folders.

Create new labels;

Applications

Favourites​

Add your applications into the suitable labels. Favourites will be linked to the home screen banner.

Desktop Visualizer Widgets​

Long press on screen - select widget.

Desktop Visualizer(Small)

All bottom row icons are linked directly to the app and inserted as a small widget​

Desktop Visualizer(4x1)

All Banner Icons are inserted as 4x1 widget and linked to Apps Organiser category - (Select Action > Other > Apps Organizer > [your label)​

Desktop Visualizer(2x1)

These are the larger icons above application, games and tools banners. Link these to whatever you like my setup was;

Controller - Linked to apps organizer group emulators

Tools - Remote apps (for HTPC, VLC etc)

Android in trolley - Appbrain​

Other Widgets​

DigiClock

Inset clock as widget then in app drawer open "DigiClock Settings"

Theme = Clear

Text Settings > Text Colour > White​

Smooth Calendar

Show Calendar Icon = Untick
