I was wanting to setup a whole screen with a grid of "favorite contacts" so that I don't have to search for them each time I want to call/text.. I use the Launcher Pro contact grid right now, but I was thinking the Transparent look would be nicer since I like my wallpaper. Something like the transparent widgets app that's out there, but for contacts instead of a news feed, calendar, or clock...anybody got any ideas or know if there's something out there already?
This would be cool!!!!
Search in the themes section and you will find multiple skinned versions of launcher pro. Some with transparent contact widget backgrounds. I would post a link but I'm using the mobile app.

The themes section on where? In the XDA forums or is there an actual theme download for launcher pro through the app or somethin?
Sounds cool... Would also like to see this!!!
Inversion Conversion
if you don't find what you're looking for - (something that's already been created), a good place to post to see if someone wants to take it on is here. The honcho over there "The Bowers" is awesome with this stuff:
Team Inversion Conversion (Transparent Apps thread)
Btw, not all of the current apps that they've modded will flash nicely with our phones-- since most of them are using droids. If testing them out, I usually adb push them to my phone (backing up first, of course).

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.

Where are you guys getting the transparent widget modifications for eclair?
Hey,
I don't know if Google is trying to be funny or something but i find it VERY irritating and stupid that THE WHOLE OS is Cyan (or Blue) and Black ... EVERYTHING... the main icons of phone, people app, notification bar and even the glowing effect of over scroll... except ONE thing, the Messaging app.. GREEN AND WHITE..!!! And not only that, their Flagship device has Super AMOLED screen and there is no DARK theme inside the app settings!! Seriously, Google?
Anyway, i'm done raging now is there a way to change the messaging app icon? (i don't like using third party apps) i want it to be ANYTHING that is similar in color to the Phone app ...
and to take this maybe a step further, is there a way to re-theme the app itself to something DARK with a lot of blacks rather than whites? (i'm not a Dev so i'm just asking, don't flame at me if it's impossible, i dunno)
Aaaaaan that's it, thanks for reading

and if you scroll further down its much easier changing the icons using an app called ninjamorph!
As a graphic designer I was wondering about the exact same issue.
ICS is a big advance in terms of design, but there are a few big "mistakes" designwise imho. It's not only the Messaging icon, it's the whole messaging app, I agree with you. Colorwise it's absolutely the opposite of what it should be... same thing with the People app, way too bright to fit the whole theme of the OS. Should be themed in the same way like the call log and the contacts tap in the dialer.
I don't understand who had the idea to design the calendar, sms and contact app in a completely different design.:thumbdown: Fortunately I'm not the only who is unhappy with this.
Hopefully the next update brings us a consistent ui.

Fully themed MMS/SMS app
Been lurking on the android apps and games thread lately and there's a lot of good stuff I'd never seen before - including this alternative app drawer.
I always wanted a list mode, and this works perfectly - see screenie here. Very customisable too, including font size and colour.
Apologies if this app is better known than I assume, hope someone finds it useful.
Bump - just found out you can change icons and app names too in all views. Top.
If there's an easier way to edit/change icons I haven't found it. Love this app.

I have been searching the forums for an icon pack that is just plain bright white and compatible with CM9 or AOKP(although I really don't know that compatibility is an issue with icons, maybe someone can correct me there) and am not finding anything.
I'm really not looking for anything too fancy, just basic icons that are a bright white instead of the stock icons, similar to what you see in the Black Infinitum theme menus. I'm not really looking for much, just standard apps (gmail, calendar, messaging, phone, play, contacts, email, camera, maps, navigation, calculator, browser, voice) and maybe a few others of the really popular apps (facebook, dropbox, scorecenter, etc...)
If anyone could point me to icons that would work I would appreciate it, if there are none if a dev could take it on I would also appreciate it very much.
Thanks!

That second link is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but same as you I don't find a download link. Thanks for the links nonetheless!

You can buy droidicon on the market for $5. It has a number of icon packs available in a number of colors and styles. It was previously called launcher pro icons and docks and meant for lpp, but you can use them on any launcher that you can change icons on. You will have to edit them yourself though, you can't install them as a theme or pack. You download the icons one by one from a list. I use the white icons on it for aokp with nova launcher, pics for the doc and text for the nav bar, they look really good. I would post screenies but I'm running miui.us atm. Hope I could help tho.
MOD EDITED

I used that for awhile... some of the icons are pretty generic, but the custimazation options are limitless, which more than makes up for it...
I really like that! I am going to give it a shot.
[EDIT] So I installed it and REALLY like these icons. They are pretty run of the mill designwise, but I wasn't looking for anything too off the wall anyway. What a great find, thank you!
RE: How to customize my phone to this extent...
Hello,
Before I begin, yes, I understand that I am new and that this is my first forum posting, please, do not judge myself.
---------------
Anyway, I'm a new to the whole customization scene. I stumbled across a website named 'mycolorscreen' (I can't link due to a lack of postings), some of the designs that our human race creates are simply beautiful... but, there is a flaw... a big flaw on my part, I have no-idea how to re-create any of them. I've been told it's simple... but I just cannot get my head around.
I am going to be as blunt as humanly possible when I say, how do I make this exact design for my device (again, I can't link the URL);
mycolorscreen(.com)/2012/08/10/wow-fantastic-baby/
I've been searching for the past hour on how-to-do-so, I now have a severe headache.
I'm sorry if there's a tutorial that has been posted already, but again, I am new here, so you'll have to bare with me.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Regards - Sgt
It looks like just heaps of Widgets added to the home screen using desktop visualiser mate. First of all get that. Then get some images you want as the tiles, and add widget

It just custom icon set and not interactive..
There is link for custom icons set in comments.
You can try launcher 7 for this type of customization.
It's all Desktop Visualizer with just different sizes & icons - nothing else.
Get 3 homescreens, set these: ://dl.dropbox.com/u/http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73796776/73796776/Screenshot W8 style.rar as individual wallpapers, using something like 'Multipicture live wallpaper'.
Download 'Desktop virtualizer' and set the widget sizes according to the size of the icons on the wallpaper. I think they'll be 1*1 or 2*2, you may need to change your launchers homescreen grid size. Then set the desktop virtualizer widgets to open the specified apps. (Set the widget that is over the 'gallery' icon to open the gallery app). Hope this helps (sorry if it didn't, PM me of you need more info/help).
