I've been a lover of the Window 7 Icons since I found them in Darky's ROM.
However being the obsessive I am and wanting total conformity across my homescreens I have made an alphabet set of icons from the Widows 7 icon.
The icons are called "STENCIL" because of the font (just a favorite of mine).
Don't give much to this community and thought it was high time I did.....

The thing I like about iPhone's icons is that they are of the same size & shape.
Hence, they are pretty neat to look at and well organized on the device.
BUT I wouldn't like my Xperia to get any resemblance of an iPhone whatsoever.
Otherwise I loose it's uniqueness. And since I feel X1 is better than iPhone, why should I copy something inferior. (Hey, this is just me ok?)
So here's a shot at organizing Windows Mobile icons - color coded.
Each time you open a folder, you see a different color theme.

Hello,
I really like this board, found a lot of help and great stuff here, so I wanted to give something back... now here's a little contribution from mine.
I really like Max Manila, but none of the notification icons set I found really pleasured me... so I searched the net for free PNG-icons and found a lot of cool stuff... stunning, that people are giving such great work for free... so none of these icons are my own work, I just downloaded and modified them a little to fit Max Manila.
1.) Office-style icons, transparent background, 128x128 pixel
Icons are taken from this set, credits for the icons go to Custom Icon Design.
2.) Office-style icons, semi-transparent background, 128x128 pixel
Icons are taken from this set, credits for the icons go to Custom Icon Design.
Background taken from this set, credits go to borncold @ deviantART; just a bit modified by myself.
3.) Office-style icons, solid background, 128x128 pixel
Icons are taken from this set, credits for the icons go to Custom Icon Design.
Background taken from this set, credits go to borncold @ deviantART; just a bit modified by myself.
How-To:
Just unzip the files and copy them into the \Windows-folder of your device - or use them with MaxTTM.
Note:
Due to the position of the notification digits, these icons are made for Max Manila 2.7 (and onwards?); I think, they will work with 2.6 and downwards as well, but it won't fit exactly...
So, hope you enjoy my little contribution!
rave on!
P.S. Though I'm using a Topaz, I think, this thread fits better here than in the equivalent section in the Topaz-board...
Update January 1st, 2010
Updated the transparent version a little bit, added versions with semi-transparent and solid background. Enjoy and a happy new year!
Awesome! Thanks!
App bar icons released for WP7 - contains a set of 64 app bar icons that you can use when developing applications for Windows Phone.

I was just going to post that.
nice Windows 3.0 flashback.... I mean if there would be any colors.
I prefer the minimalistic look, never been a fan of some of the wackier custom icons you may find.
Nice to see that they are aiming for a more consistent look
Hey, I really like the UI of windows phone 7, its sheer simplicity and how good it looks on the Super AMOLED screen... anyway, would it be possible to make a theme that immitates WP7 in all the ways possible? I know that there is an app called Launcher 7, and I use it, but its not a true theme because the status bar makes it just look fake. However, with a theme that themes the status bar naturally and other apps such as contacts, dialer etc, I think it would be a great start, perhaps even remove all TW blue and try to turn it wp7 green. I know there are limitations on what one can do with tw and theming, but it would still be a great project and I know the outcome would be great if one of you amazing themers decided to undertake it! Well, please let me know what you guys think and hopefully this will/can get done!

Edit: Just to clear things up... I would like to use Launcher 7 for this theme, so Icon theming is not prudent, however other aspects like Notification Bar, Status Bar, Contacts, Dialer, Notification Bar Icons, Lockscreen (6 locksrceen mod would make me happy), and whatnot are preferred... Also, the color can be changed in Launcher 7, so a themer could take liberty in changing the color of the status bar or w/e, but i prefer the black stock one with the wifi and signal to the left, Time and Battery to the right. Battery would be preffered to be left alone, but it could be shrunk or put vertically and then number icons could be next to it, indicatting charge... kind of like a ##I scheme with the I being the bar and the ## being the percentage, again, these are just ideas
They do have the status bar in UberMusic and a theme for ubermusic that looks like Zune WP7, but you can only use that bar in the app.
Until then, here's something that will help you make launcher 7 feel better. The official color codes from Windows Phone

Just put them in where you change the tile colors.
I mean,i have good ideas on how to go about doing things, but I wouldn't know where to start as I havnt used photoshop nor Gimp in 4 years... even though I did have traditional classes for it...

Hi guys,
I'm sharing these applications because I find them really beautiful. First install Win 8 launcher and then install 8.1. Then you have to apply the 8.1 theme through the Theme tile which has a T-shirt icon.
Kindly please give feedback on this.
I want parallax and option to change background of tiles just like start theme in wp 8.1. What i don't really want is regular transparent tiles just like the other competitor. Here is the example of what my suggestion looks like:

You suggestion in not showing on IE. Do you mean like when multiple tiles are showing a single picture just like in pieces? If that is so I'm afraid you can't do that with conventional methods.

This is definitely the nicest Win 8 launcher I've seen yet.. AWESOME JOB!!
What are the chances of you sharing the source code? Would love to help out and add in some features to it, I'll probably try and decompile it and see if I can hack in some of it for now though but these are some things that would make it perfect:
1) support for more grid sizes like 5 rows instead of 4 in portrait mode
2) better landscape mode for apps, different grid size for apps (6 across 4 down)
3) better landscape for start mode (right now in landscape mode the top icon ends up filling the whole screen at once instead of keeping the tiles the same size and filling them in accordingly)
4) better support for 3rd party SMS apps (it won't let me change that at all for badge count)
5) support badge icons on other apps as well
6) make status bar when scrolled to the top of start screen stay color of the top tiles instead of default to the black (so it's like it is when its scrolled down but always)
Thanks again, your launcher made me feel at home again after switching to android from windows phone!
Any updates on this application? I really love my 1520, and now I have a Note 4 and I miss the UI and live tiles of Windows Phone.
can we have any other launcher.This is a great one,but want some more.
Same here.. Really looking for a good Metro UI Launcher for Android.. I HATE Androids home screen..
GOOD
Gr8 nut you should a custom theme engine.
