[Windows Mobile Themes] Rooster100:
Accessories, Request an icon and how to make one yourself

Request a Roosticity icon.

To get an icon made quicker it will help if I have a copy of the default icon, the default icon file name and the application name and description of what the program does (it makes it easier to come up a matching icon). How to do that?

Copy all the .png files under Windows from your phone to your PC. This will also copy a bunch of buttons and other graphics, but all your application icons should be there (or take a screenshot of it) and now you have a back-up of the whole lot.:)

Browse through these files until you find the icon that is currently being used by your application.

Copy the relevant icon and post it with your request.

Wait patiently for someone from the Roosticity Icon Sweatshop to post your icon.:)

Requests:

A small request by Smobbo for every start menu icon contained in the Energy rom! :p Nov15- Done (for Leo and Blackstone at least) Other ROMs let me know if any not skinned.

A range of generic icons are being made to suit a wide range of typical applications. For example a few GPS navigation icons, lots of different games icons, currency converter and even icons to suit you fitness freaks. Keep asking for your specific icons though, because it may prompt some to get made that were not already on the list.

Make a Roosticity icon.

If you know your way around Adobe Illustrator to a moderate level, then attached is an Illustrator CS4 file called Roosters Icon Maker for .sencity. Included within the file are a smattering of vector samples and tips on how to make your icon consistent with the .sencity theme and rest of the Roosticity set.

If you are new to vector design, please have a go with the help menu, google etc before posting questions! :) If the CS4 version does not suit and you need an older version or different format, let me know but I'm kind of limited to the Illustrator save options if I'm to retain layers etc.

Once you’ve made your icon(s), please post the icons on this thread for everyone to enjoy. Also please attach the vector source file so it can be stored in the Roosticity Icon Warehouse- ready to be pulled out again when needed. _LeCiel_ has said he will be releasing versions of .sencity in several different colours, so it would be nice to have the source files ready to go if needed for some duplicate icon sets to match.

Once you’ve posted the icons, I will include a link to all of them on the first post, and add the ones that match in with the set as it is updated. Don’t be shy about posting your icons!

Some places to find vector icon source files to help build your icons are listed below- and please let me know if you find any other good sources that suit this style. Remember to observe any usage restrictions attached to the vector art.

VOLUME CONTROLLER (added 17 Nov)

This I made for my HD2 to get rid of the glossy glassy buttons and to match .sencity and works a treat. I made a tiny cab if you want to try it out & un-install if you want to turf it. It's a real simple cab that replaces one image file in your Windows folder (HTCVolumeControl.png if you want to back it up beforehand). Should be fine for other WVGA devices besides HD2- let me know. Download it from here.

ENDKEY SKIN (added 17 Nov)

Made by jsmccabe78 this is an endkey skin to suit .sencity that had good reviews and worth trying out. Download it from here.
