Yah I know, I still love this phone over the G1, only thing I wish this phone had was more Ram and of course 3G... that would seal the deal on the phone if it had that...
Fonts worked great! Thanks alot. However i cannot figure out how to delete the CHome_Iconbar_background file. Cannot delete it on the phone, or from the computer. I tried to turn off the iconbar and then delete, and that still didnt seem to work.

Which ROM you using? Guessin Ricky since then it would make sense you can't delete it since it's in the ROM.
If not then turn off the media Top Bar restart then try and delete.
yep, rickys. anyone know if its possible to maybe just disable the background?
Well i found ONE background that would make the bar transparent! So looks good now, not exactly what i wanted, but not bad. Now once i figure out how everyone gets the weather apps integrated with clock/date tab ill be all set

Very interesting question, all i found so far is one for Symbian...
When you unlock and swipe from left to right a light coloured bar comes out saying unlock on it, where is this bar? I thought it may be in framework-res but I couldn't see it. Anyone know where it is? Also same question for the vanilla call answer screen?
anyone have any idea?

Not sure about the call screen, but I can help you with the lockscreen. Get widget locker from the Market, it costs $2. Using this, you can get the default vanilla lockscreen, even one like the iPhone if you want. It also lets you place widgets on the lockscreen.

No you really can't help haha... You're way off dude.
He's obviously asking for theme'ing purposes.
Unfortunately I don't know where it's located either. I'd suggest downloading and extracting a ROM that has the Vanilla lockscreen and wading through all that.
EDIT: Or just download the update.zip from the Desire Themes & Apps section that has the Vanilla lockscreen only. And find it within there. I'll be home from work soonish so I'll download and check it out myself when I get there.

Is it possible that the text itself is not an image but rather text that has been coded to pop up over the bar image?
That would explain why you cannot find an image for it.

Im wondering the same thing, anyone ever find anything on this?
Hi, I am looking to change the dock on my Evo. It isn't rooted and I was just wondering if that was possible? If so can somebody please point me in the right direction? I tried to search, but didn't really know what to search. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
To be honest I don't even know if I am calling it by the right name. I want to change the thing at the bottom of the screen where you click to go to the phone,your apps and add something to your home screen. I would like to pit icons there instead of the stock bar.

See this thread, allows you to restore the stock 2.2 Android launcher. Otherwise LauncherPRO is excellent as well (its what I use).
I installed LauncherPro and the big clock is gone is there anyway to get my clock back and use the bottom icons from LauncherPro?
You need to install a widget for the clock. Either hold down on your home screen and select the widget, or download one from the market.

Do a search for "fancy widget". It's pretty much just like the HTC clock.
I recommend beautiful widgets because you can change the font/look of it to pretty much whatever you want, as long as you don't mind dropping a few bucks on it.
I'm in the process of reorganizing and editing my UCCW skins since I know more about it than when I first started. I'll be uploading edited and new skins shortly. The widgets I make currently are all 5x2 size except the Daft Punk skin. That was my first attempt at making an actual skin, I'm still fairly new to this app. I have no idea how to get weather icons to show up again. Once I get an idea I start working on it, and I usually wind up changing a few things before I'm done with it. I'm so indecisive at times it's irritating lol. I'm open to ideas and suggestions, as well as critiques (don't be to harsh, I'm still new).
I was using Nova Launcher with Prime add-on for the Daft Punk skin, Scarface skin, and Elegance Skin. I'm now using TSF Shell which I LOVE for the Mortal Kombat skin, Killer Instinct skin, and Swirl skin. The hotspots I assign and use are pretty much universal. I don't want to "force" you to use an app you may not even want. If anyone runs into an issue with one of my skins, please advise me of it so that it can be corrected. I use wallpapers I've found on the internet and/or Zedge. I'm not trying to take credit for things that aren't mine.
Thanks for the uccw skin. what widget is that on the bottom right showing att lte network connection?

You're welcome and the signal widget is called Network Signal Info. There is a free and pro (paid) version. I'm using Pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet2&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiZGUuYW5kcm9pZC50ZWxuZXQyIl0.

That's a very nice setup you have. You're right, the possibilities are practically endless for this app. I'm still learning how to use it and do certain things with it. I do have a question that maybe you can answer, where can I get additional font files to use for the widgets I create? I happily donated to show support for something that will keep me occupied since I'm constantly changing things around on my phone. I've attached a few examples, but I'm not using them right now.
You can use ttf files, just make a folder called "fonts" on your sd card, I find them all over the net for free.

Thanks for those websites, they've come in handy for me. I have a question for you though, are you familiar with making full screen widgets? I'm trying to make one now and honestly, I see why people just search for themes. I used to have an HTC Inspire 4G so I decided to try and make a HTC Sense 2.1 style widget. I can't get the sizing right, and it's a hassle trying to actually use it. I tried to make it Apex/Nova launcher friendly first because I don't think everyone has/wants TSF Shell. You can see the issue in the screen shot, and to do that I had to enable resizing and overlapping widgets and then send the full screen one to the back. I preferred the sizing abilities in TSF Shell because I can be more precise when adding new widgets/folders/apps but just make sure to add the full screen uccw widget last but even still, there's no send to back option so would the transparency in the widget allow me to use the other items on the screen? I know this is a very difficult and round about way to have a sense style look because there are plenty of themes for it, but I was just thinking outside the box compared to what I've already created.
I haven't really tried anything like that, and I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying I to have like a wifget-in a-widget sort of effect?

Exactly, I've done it before in Nova Launcher just on a smaller scale and only because I positioned certain widgets on top of others for a look I wanted all on one screen. I've put this particular project on hold until I learn how to use the send to back option in TSF Shell if it even has one.
Using the app called Popup Widget, I'm able to quickly place any kinds of widget directly on the second screen, since we can easily move back and forth app shortcuts from the second screen and home screen, but that mainly applies to the stock launcher only, tried with Nova, but didn't work. Anyways, here's a video showing an example of creating widget and placing it into second screen and works fine.
https://youtu.be/mX-diQEANw8
The app is called Popup Widget, and can be found on the Play Store.
Credits @klark1kent for the idea of implementing custom widgets on the second screen using Zooper and Tasker apps. If you want, you can head over to his thread in the link below for an in-depth guide using Zooper Widgets
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/themes-apps/screen-custom-app-icons-widget-t3269726
Update: So, I've created a new video that actually allows you to add more icons/shortcuts to the second screen. So take a look over at the link below.
https://youtu.be/nuo0IAhwUR0
The app is called SiMi Folder Widget, and can be found on the Play Store.

Usually what I'd do since you can easily toggle between different launchers via settings, just switch to the stock launcher, place it in then change back.

The idea was actually from your thread, so got to thank you for that idea that you actually came up, and I was looking around for other alternatives instead of using Zooper and Tasker, and Popup Widget sort of solves the issue for me. And also having to place any kind of widgets on your second screen really helps in situations where you wouldn't want to get kicked out of other apps, let's say if you are messaging and you want to quickly see some new tweets to freshen up.

That's exactly what I said in thr original thread. I used popup widget also but hey I'm happy you liked the idea and clearly I didn't create a guide initially because I wanted to get it out to the community as soon as possible anyway I agree the options are endless... The only thing about just using popup which I alluded to in the other post is that it wasn't working with other launchers and zooper allows you to create your own widgets and add them to popup instead of relying on system default widgets. Let's keep the innovations coming though but yeah I was surprised you essentially jacked the idea with zero credit. Thanks for making it right

Oh damn, I guess I didn't read it clearly! Really sorry about that... I guess I did miss the part about Popup Widget and was sort of lost in the guide of yours so I was looking around for alternatives. My bad if I really missed out on my part but I hope you enjoyed the mini guide that I created, and shall give proper credits for you

Is there a way to make popup widgets using the stock apps like favorite contacts and LG Health?
I haven't tried, but would think you could make a widget from Zooper, then use Popup widgets utilizing your custom zooper widget

As those are LG-based Widgets, which is lockdown only to stock launcher, Popup Widget can't recognize it as a proper widget, only universal ones work.
Hence sadly it's not possible to actually get those into the second screen.
