This one is for Blade Themes and Applications!
Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.
Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,
There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

What rom are you running? Your setup is exactly the way I want my phone to look.
Scratch that... BattStatt!
So, I've managed to put together some of the pieces of your setup... but what I can't figure out is the text instead of numbers for time, date, and battery percentage.

Hi guys,
Total android Newbie here.
Just been playing around with my Nexus 7 and theming it.
Im currently running Nova prime with minimal MIUI icons (will upload pic soon)
I like the look of some of the large rectangular metro style icons which I would like to apply to my setup. What program would be best to assign actions to the images?
I tried desktop virtualiser and it uploads the metro icons but they look pretty small and theres no option for resizing.
Any help would be appreciated
You should be able to change them using Nova.

What the guy ^ there said, plus if you use uccw you can use those images, the metro style images, as either a background or insert as an image, scale as you see fit, then add a hotspot over them and assign the click action to whatever you want. Uccw is my go to for creating anything custom

You need to choose different sized widgets when using Desktop Visualizer. The 1x1 SS one will look like a normal icon, BTW. I haven't used it for a while, but it should have worked.

Thank you for these. They are very nice. Will use the request tool, but could you please add icon masking for unthemed icons. It would make the pack more usable from start. Once again, thank you. Bought them pronto.

I tryed on SGS3 and it worked fine..
Try this : https://yadi.sk/d/PJhhI974X4aRS
I tried your version posted above, same thing. Chrashes when I press submit. Also I noticed that its impossible to set icons manually. Atleast on Nova. When I longpress an app on my homescreen and choose to set an alternate icon Flat color icon list just turns up blank. Im dying to use this pack but right now its not possible as there is to many issues for me. On my Nexus 5 im using PA rom with Nova launcher, on my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 im using stock rooted rom with Nova launcher and I have a Nexus 7 and my sons Xperia Z and its not working on any of them.
Has the developing stopped on this pack? If so, its a shame. Mostly because this had potential to be a very nice pack, but also because you released an paid app that didnt work as it should and never corrected it and there hasn`t been any updates. I like the pack and would like for it to continue.
Let's see what you got!
I keep getting invalid image file when I use the app and when I go on the internet on my phone to try to post something. I don't know what's up with that.
Here you go. I love this phone. The edge shortcuts allow me to flow back and forth quicker without using multi windows or hitting the home key. The camera is top of the line and the finger print sensor is sweet.

Xposed framework and unicon.

Build.prop edit dpi to 590
Dynamic Notification to make my lock screen like the Moto X
G3 Wallpaper with Nova Launcher to organize the screen the way I like it.
The edge panel is really nice in that I can keep the main screen so much cleaner than I used to on my G3 like in the 4th pic.

But like his notification panel isn't an ugly mix of neon green and awkward navy. How did he change his to grey?
Edit: also how did he get rid of the S finder and quick connect icons.

Hes running forever locos theme.. your talking about all the toggles and all that. Yes, thats the theme.. mixed with some xposed, blurred systemui for the pulldown blur, and i believe its wanam or gravity box allows the removal of those icons you speak of, but in this case i believe the systemui was modded in the theme to get rid of that. Otherwise check out wanam or gravity

Still trying to make the most out of the edge panel. Love having a clutter free home screen tho!
Nice job everyone! My home screen is still a work in progress but I thought I'd mention one thing I like to do. With "ss launcher" you can extend your home screen vertically. I like it that way cause you can just flick the screen up to get to stuff below. (also applications page scrolls vertical once there). Anyways. here is an example of how the home page is extended vertically. So you see, below the usual home screen, I put an icon, a calendar widget and another widget called "recent apps" which I set to be a 3x3 grid so I can can easily go back and forth between apps one handed.
still mostly stock
Hot Note Edge.
After numerous tries, I finally figured out HTC themes and Maker Pro to simply change dialer color and lock screen clock. I must be really dumb because this seemed so difficult.
There is nothing intuitive about changing lock screen clock or dialer when you want to use what you find in another HTC custom theme or even your own. I finally found a clue in an older HTC 10 thread.
If anyone knows of a short tutorial, let me know as I would like to reference it here. Maybe Google will squash this train wreck of a theming app for pure Android.
FYI, I am using Flick Launcher beta which I like but it doesn't change dialer or lock screen. If other launchers will change stock dialer color and lock screen clock, let me know.

FYI, I am using the ported Google dialer found in XDA. Very good replacement.
