Homescreen folder "skin" - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

SO here's my issue.
I run ARHD no sense and everything is smooth as butter. One thing is really bothering me though. Look at my homescreen: http://db.tt/dgGTMBM
The folders work perfectly and I'm really happy I tried this setup - but - they look AWFUL. Any way of skinning ONLY the folder icons?

"Apps Organizer" (free) on the market is what you're looking for
For 0.99 euro there is also "Folder Organizer" made by the same developer, which has much more options.

Oh, and by the way, try this to replace your ugly CurrentWidget widget by a themed one with transparent background

Thanks A LOT. I'll try it all out! Now I have some stuff to play with tonight.

Post your icons or links to icons HERE

looking for some opinions on icons
here are some icons I have been making started out with blackberry bold icons but started to make icons so here are the ones I made some still are like the blackberry bold but made them more brighter looking for some ideas and good opinions but not to go to far from the design
i like them, simple and nice. what program are you using to make the icons?
Very nice, minimalistic and simple, yet stylish. Well done.
i like simple and clean and i have adobe photoshop elements i had for a good 10 years and i use paint.net and gimp but the icons i did in photoshop i have a hard time going to a new photoshop
I love those Icons, they make a nice interface for the phone.
nice nice.. need em.. lol
Love em. You need to make a theme using these. Preferably a completely dark theme so that the icons stand out a lot.
I like dark backgrounds and I have started a theme I hope to have it out by Saturday.so far I have gutting good replies but my concerns are which my faves icon do you think I should use and do you think the settings looks ok the way it is or do you think the gear needs to be bigger or I was thinking no gear and add a wrench. oh decisions ineed to make up for my stargate theme lol
I like the myFaves icon with the people, but I don't use myFaves at all so my opinion on that doesn't really matter xD
Which icon is the Settings one? The one that looks like a Toolbox? I think that you should make the icon for that either a wrench or gears, but honestly the toolbox will be good enough to identify it since there would be text underneath each icon.
<3 them kron. just waiting for you to release them
Very nice, very nice.
what size do the icon have to be 46x46????
48x48 is the icon size
Great icons! I like the "people" icon for my favs, they all look very nice. hurry up with this theme, lol.
Changing Market app icons?
Does any one know if you need to do anything special to repackage a market app icon? I tried changing an icon for cinema player and signed it with the test keys and it wont install. it says it installed but it isn't.
i would love to know as well
The market icon is in vending.apk
You added your icon to the music app close it, reopened it to make sure it saved it, then resigned it and I didnt work? If you are having trouble signing files try the Stericson signing made easy thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580
I don't mean the market app, I mean apps from the market like cinema or shopsavy for example.
i get same error. I can change any of the app icons in the update.zip but when i extract an app with astro and update and sign, it wont install. I even tried the desktop install tool. No luck.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't you need access to that developers source code to do this.

Widgets

I got this app in the market today called "FreshFace" I must say i like the widgets. Is it possible we can extract the Widgets as .apk? Heres the link.
http://rapidshare.com/files/261375073/FreshFace_1.1.1.zip
The Weather widget is pretty nice, also the time one is too.
thanks for sharing!
Thanks, but what is this?
I looked for FreshFace in the market and it didn't find anything.
I think this is Tmobile's collaboration with aHome. I tried it out this morning and it was pretty cool, allows you to build your own "custom theme" which for non-rooters it is the best way out there I have seen yet.
And yeah the widgets were outstanding, I liked the text widget and there music widget actually had a back button on it (why is this not on any others?). Once people start dl'ing it and others starting making more themes and widgets for it, this could be an awesome app, possibly even a "must-have" for non-rooted phones.
Some more info...

That would be great!!
Yup...can't find FreshFace anywhere on the market. Anyone have the apk for it? Or know where I could find it?
download the .zip from the first post and rename it to .apk
the program is kinda like open home/ahome still no status bar changing tho
That did it....thnx much!!
If you go to Download More, choose the Widget category, and download and install the ones you want, they're available on the regular home as well as FreshFace. These widgets even stick around once the FreshFace is unstalled.
Thats just the extra ones you can download though, not the ones that come pre-installed with the app like the Twitter and weather widgets. Sitll though, the Wiki widget is pretty nice . And the ToDo one as well
only if it didnt take up a huge amount of space
total of 6MB
i like my ahome better though
hopefully they make it somewhat like freshface though.
but note FRESHFACE IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR MYTOUCH 3G NOT G1
it just works on it but wont work exactly as it should for a g1 since its built for the mytouch 3g
is there a way to get the widgets from this? Do we need root?
Thanks
any screen shots?
Will this work on CM 3.6.8.1 and Android plus theme? or will it kill it? Screen shots of widgets?

[Theme] MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.8-DS (Black Bar) [6-19-2010]

Thanks for all the hard work Cyanogen and Team. You Rock!
This is a simple theme for CM's Live Stable Eclair 5.0.7-DS. MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.7-DS It has a Black Bar. Some of it has been collected from other Themers. Some has been created by me. I start with CM's files and replace PNGs only. The 5 APKs I edit are Framework, Launcher, MMS, Email, and Settings. The wall paper I used is from Ubuntu a few versions back.
5/20/2010 - Test7 changed the ballgame on me. I thought I was having problems getting the clock color to change from black to white. Turns out, it is now a feature of Test7. After flashing my theme you will need to go into Spare Parts and change the color of the "Date" and the "Clock". The fun thing is now you are not limited to what I choose for you. You can choose from several colors. Kewl! I also discovered which .9.png to modify to get the search to have a black background. Enjoy!
5/27/2010 - Updated to include a couple of edits to ADW.Launcher.0.7rc3 Just to keep it inline with my taste. It is a full version with my theme edits applied. Awesome work AnderWeb! Donation coming your way. Link below.
06/05/2010 - Here we go again. I can't help myself I've started down the road on the new CM-5.0.8-DS test builds. My slightly themed ADW Launcher hasn't changed and it still works well with the new test1.
06/06/2010 - I changed some more icons. I didn't like what I had done to the bright popup PNGs. I changed that back to the white instead of the biegie-gold. I also cleaned up the CD image in Music so it doesn't have the black background. That is now transparent.
06/07/2010 - Updated for CM-5.0.8-DS-Test2. Fixed the USB Debugging notify icon. Somehow, I don't know how far back, the DPI for the icon was set slightly off. It was 71.986dpi instead of 72dpi. (go figure) I changed the USB Connected icon color from my previous yellow to more of a gold color. I changed the Bright popups to a more opaque white with a gold beveled edge. I like it better than the biegy-orange color I had before (Dirty Blueshirt liked) and I like it better than the transparent white. Not much else changed except CM has incorporated ADW's Launcher into the Test ROM (three cheers for CM!) So you don't need to flash the ADW.Launcher after my theme.
06/10/2010 - I had some problems with Test3 and Test4. I ended up having to wipe and reflash. I don't think it was anything to do with the Theme. I was having some lag issues when trying to make or answer phone calls. All is well now. Since 3 and 4 happened so quickly I ended up skipping 3. I had to make some adjustments with my files and locations to match the new Settings layout including SpareParts and ADWLauncher. I really like having that all together now.
06/19/2010 - Nothing much changed in my stuff. I just updated it to work with CM-5.0.8-DS
It's old school... I haven't got into the metamorph yet.
Copy to SD
Nandroid backup (always)
Flash the zip
Enjoy!

Thanks for your work again!

Widget
pretty awesome looking theme can someone tell me where to find that 1X4 widget with the weather and time? I've been looking all over for it ... thanks in adv
mine is actually weather widgets 1x2 and digital clock 1x2 the one in the market with the clouds on the icon. The one you are looking for is actually Beautiful Widgets. I was looking for it too.
I was using the Weather Widgets flip clock but it constantly stopped keeping time. They have a weather service to help stop that but it was killing my battery. I'm having other problem with weather widget now so I may just drop that completely and use the Beautiful Widgets clock.

[App] Moogly - simple to-do widget needs testers

Hi everyone! Im the developer of Moogly, a simple but useful todo list widget that started as a project for Honeycomb. The pr is after the break.
There have been reports that it doesnt work properly on some devices! If someone could be so kind as to try the Lite version and if it doesnt stretch properly, send me some screenshots and log files!
You can also post issues at the main thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202211
Thanks in advance!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOOGLY
A simple but powerful to do list widget designed to be customized. Now with auto-hiding buttons!
Features:
★ Multiple independent, scrollable widgets
★ Quick, dialog based entry
★ Tick to delete or mark complete
★ Widgets are optimized for Honeycomb
★ Predefined themes or total customization
★ RTL support
★ Custom image backgrounds
This widget was inspired by To Do List from HTC Sense - for some reason, they were the only ones to get it right.
Lite Market link - restricted to 8 entries and only one widget
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.moogly.lite&feature=search_result
Screens:
This widget is THE BEST! Thanks a lot!
Love this widget, probably the only thing I missed about Sense.
Do you use HTC Classic Yellow?
Looks absolutely perfect on mine, SGS2 running ADW launcher, 2x2 widget and minimal dark skin.
An option to autohide the buttons at the bottom would be nice, as it sort of clashes with my minimal look, or even just an option to dispense with the settings and minus button?
I haven't bought the app yet, will probably do it in a couple of updates time. Your problem is kind of that you made the lite version too good - I only need one widget!
Great work
But do you only need 3 entries? Thats crazy when the app is only $.99

Yep - didn't realise the lite version had that limitation
Only found out when I tried to add a 4th - now I've got the pro version.
You're a good salesman.
Haha - gocha! Just kidding
great widget. hope will get more graphic enhancement in the future. it didnt look clean, it didnt look neat, its not stylish and sleek too but hey it works. thats the most important thing. now after you pushed all feature updates, make the visual enhancement so my friends will look at this widget with awesomeness not only with functionality, but with great UI.
What? It looks alot cooler than everything else on the market. You just seem to have questionable taste...

well, ok then~
Ok... i hope all those friends of yours can forgive me. I havent been making best selling apps all that long, its possible i just dont understand what im doing
Update should be ready tomorrow GTasks ftw!
Any issues to report?
Nope - working flawlessly and ive invested in your humble price and got the pro version
Ive now increased the Max number of entries that can be made in the free version - enjoy!
Any issues with the latest builds?
How can I hide Entrys? Is this only available in the Pro Version?
And a second question: Could it be possible to safe the Todo as a .txt-File and import it again e.g. after flashing a new Rom?
All lists are already saved. As for restore, i suggest you use Titanium or something like that.
Yep - the csv files can be found in RCBs directory!

[REQ]White Icons

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!
Found these on XDA

and the link below has some, but I can't figure out where to download them from..

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!
