[Q] MIUI icon background

Launchers of like Touchwiz, iPhone, MIUI and DELL android tablet use those squared backgrounds for the icons on their home screen.
I've searched XDA for a themer/dev who has done this but no luck.
People seem to rather remove the iPhone's icon style but I think it looks nice.
Now I want to achieve this effect on a Sense or non-Sense based ROM without photo shopping every icon.
So is there a way to mod a Standalone Launcher like LauncherPro or ADW to have this icon style?
I'd love to help if any dev wants to give this a shot.
Thanks.

Ah, on second thought, I posted this at the general android forum because I can get more answers there, sorry.
Please delete this thread.

[REQ]Transparent Contacts Grid?

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).

TouchWiz Weather Widget

I love the weather widget on the stock TouchWiz UI, but I can't seem to use it on other launchers (apex, nova) and I was wondering if theres a way to maybe pull it from files and use it or something like that. Or even if theres a very similar app. Thanks

Search the forum and you'll find about ten other threads asking for the same thing.

Download UCCW -Ultimate Custom Clock Widget, and then go to the thread in Android Themes in XDA. There's an exact match there.

Do you have a link for where the exact match is? Or an idea more or less when it was posted? It's a huge thread to go through

No, sorry. I may have it saved on my old Inspire, I'll check tonight for you.
If you want to search for it, its definitely in the second half of the thread.

Now, I wish I could find a kang of the Sony Xperia Clock/Widget that will install on Touchwiz.

ADW.Launcher Custom Icons

I was wondering if there was a tutorial anywhere on this site to create custom icons for adw.launcher, when i install themes not all of the apps i have get the icons themed like the others and it drives my ocd crazy. i tried the search function but couldn't find exactly what i need

You can look through the android themes section as there are plenty of icon sets but most have to be applied individually with desktop visualizer but I know some of the creators have put icon packs in the play store. I believe there are also some tutorials in the theme section as well.

[Q] please! need transparent Google search Widget

Hey guys!
I'm looking for a transparent Google Search Bar Widget. The stock grey-off white one is just not doing it for me anymore and it is throwing off my customizations, it does not go with anything!
I'd like a transparent or glassed barely there background or even better the ICS version of it, You know, it was just an outlined rectangle with the word Google in it and the little Mic. Not this stupid grey box...
I found an app in the play store that it's just like the ICS widget but there's a problem: "ok Google" doesn't work and yes, I use it.
I could not find any new threads about it and the ones I found, another forum, are too old.
Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance
