Hey Guys,
I just finished coding a little tool to generate reflecting dockingbars for Android,
i liked my reflecting dockbar on the iPhone and didn't have found an alternative, so i photoshoped my first reflecting dockbar and thought about the idea of creating a programm to automatize the process.
Here is my first Release of the finished Tool.
Requirements are:
Windows PC
.net framework >= v 2.0
it's pretty simple to use:
1. press the wanted Icon slots (Dock Icons) and choose the icon image file.
2. press the Source Dock slot (Dock) and select the dock file you want to add the Reflections.
3. Press the Calculate Button
4. Now you can click on the result to save it to the whished directory.
Remember, it's still in Beta phase, so I don't give any guarantee that the results will be perfect.
Pictures will be followed if i reach the 8 post limit
If you like it i would be very thankful for each donation/thank/feedback/notified error report
dockingbars and icons could be found in this great thread by rixsta
Edit:
v1.1 (Reflection Transparency + Icon Size Settings) added
greets Leppin
Real awesome idea, mate! Looks like it shrinks the icons quite a bit tho, yeah?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hey thanks, i had the phenomenal that my adw Launcher schrinks the icon by itself to 80% of its orginal Size till a max size of 60x60 Pixels so i build this into the Tool. Maybe it could just be adjusted in the settings. But if you don't have this phenomenal i could give you a new Release without the shrinking Process
EDIT: Added v1.1 with the option to set reflection transparency and icon size
Moved this Thread to the General Android Theme Area

I've been working on a theme, mainly for myself but I will probably upload it if anyone is interested. My question is how can I change the pull down bar image and background for the notification, I have found that some themes do this, but I have searched everywhere with no explanation of how. I found an image that looks like a pull down bar but its a 9 patch image. (is there any progress on using the 9 patch tool in the SDK to change these?)
PS. The background in the attached shot is not part of theme, I think it will work with any dark background. Also not sure if I am going to bother to change any of the icons at this stage, maybe later on.
Please upload for ADP1.1
yo! the theme colors look cool, but the menu button at the bottom seems not the right fit..maybe its just be..
as for the question you actually asked..i have no idea..i am sorry
At the moment, all I have changed is the status bar background, the App Menu dragbar at the bottom, the google search widget and the clock. I will look into making different version once I have finished it (first version is going to be RC8)
What is it that varies between firmwares that requires different versions? Is it the contents of the Framework-Res.apk and Launcher different for RC8, RC30, ADP1 etc?
Great
looks great
Love the show Lost !!! Cant wait to see how this turns out..
The wallpaper (which I got from an app in the market) wasn't really part of the theme per se, its just the one I am using currently, though I think it looks good. RE: original question I kinda worked it after now, just editing the 9 patch images for the search bar and notification and it worked ok.
where is the notification bar image though?
Wow look nice. Here were did you got that bbc new app. I did a search for it in the android app store and nothing came up.

Donations are much appreciated!
Introduction:
This is based on my previous "Shadowsong" skin (which no longer exists).
Many people found that too gloomy and dark, so I adapted and made it... happier!
In the process I tried to preserve the balance between tech (glow, embossed) and
nature (background, colors) which I also tried to approach in Shadowsong.
This skin uses a lot newer code, with some neat features. Enjoy!
Changelog:
* None yet! *
Upcoming features:
- Improved start menu
- Inside menu's graphic tweaks
- Improved media player layout.
Features:
- Fully skinned TF3D2 with files from Rhodium build 1.19.
- Panoramic Background modification
- Improved Slider modification.
- Sprint clock modification
- Complete skin, including submenu's.
Acknowledgements:
- Guap: Sprint clock mode9 files.
- Rotastrain: Slider and panoramic background mode9 files.
Installation:
- Download the .cab file
- Copy the file to your device or memory card
- Run the .cab and install it to main memory
- Restart your phone
* If your TF3D becomes white after installation, your ROM or TF3D2 installation does not support CFC (Chainfire's compression). Download the compatibility cab and install that instead. (can be done on top of the previous install) *
Compatibility:
- Should be compatible with all TF3D2 Rhodium builds.
- WM6.1 confirmed.
- WM6.5 unconfirmed, but should work.

Rotastrain made small tutorial on how to make backgrounds for this. (It's his panoramic code). Search for it, in this forum.
While I really appreciate the scenic background, I must say that reading white text on the light background is really not comfortable. Either the text will have to be made darker or that beautiful background has to change!
Yes, Rota made a nice tutorial to make panoramic backgrounds, but for those of us who have no IT skills, is there some place where panoramic backgrounds are available that we could just dump into a folder ... easy and simple?
The background is 01253_silence_1280x800.jpg from interfacelift.com (maybe the source is another size then 1280x800).

Seek and you shall find. In Rotastrain's thread about panosidetoside, users have posted over 50 wallpapers, all panoramic. =]

Actually, that is not my source. It's a wallpaper that is available at several sites all over the internet.
I've received quite some feedback on the TP2 forum, regarding some issues and suggestions.
Does everyone in here think it's just fine as it is? I'm not getting many replies, so I'm actively asking for 'em now.
Really nice, great job guy.
After installed, there is a part of white color on the "moving tab", even when I move it to anywhere , it still nothing change, but the backgroud of the tab such as home , message, mail ,etc, which is no problem
On this solution, is that mean's "If your TF3D becomes white after installation" ?
Beacuse I have also tried install 'compatibility cab' but there is nothing change, thx

No, that's not the same bug. With the white, I mean entire manila.
Please post a screencapture of the bug, so I can better understand what the problem is.
it's look like this ( I used your screen shot )
I am using X1 firmware R3AA010 , TouchFLO 3D 3.0.38196.3 B3

I see. I haven't seen this problem before. I think it's because Rotastrain's crystal slider isn't compatible with the CAB TF3D2. Rotastrain is the only one I know who can fix this. You had best ask him, so he can tell you which files he needs from you to be able to patch it.
help with stock icon
Hi Angelusz. This is a really great theme. I am having a problem with the stock preview icon. The 174ba15d_manila contains the correct image (see cfc gui screenshot), but displays the old stock icon (see other screenshot). I think this might have to do with the manila name. 174ba15d_manila is named stock_preview.qtc, while all of the other preview icons are named filename-hero.qtc (ie home-hero.qtc). The stock preview icon is the only one not listed under manila\icon preview. However, I do not know how to change the manila file name, so I cannot test it. Would you be able to test this to see if it corrects the issue? Thanks.

Wait, so how do you get the background image to move when going through the tf3d tabs, and is it possible to add own background that moves like that?

That moving background is Rotastrain's Panosidetoside. You can modify it, as it's just normal manila image files (QTC).
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!
My app is out of BETA! Version 1.0 is released to the market with a shiny new pack
------------
Hi everyone,
I finally decided that my app is functioning reasonably well so I have released a Beta version to the Play Store. You can find it here:
As I said, it's a very early version of my first app but the main features work. With the app you can:
EXCLUSIVE (for now): get access to my new icon pack, Galaxy!
EXCLUSIVE (for now): download the 4th Addon for Splash! and the 1st Addon for Light Edge Glow!
Download and extract any of my packs
See which icon is present in which packs (search)
Request icons directly from the app / Play Store - for priority treatment
Donate to me if you feel like I deserve it
For the future I plan to add some new features including (but not only):
Ability to request icons directly from the app [DONE - BETA 2]
Improved search visually [DONE - BETA 2]
"Help" screen with a mini-tutorial on how to use this app [DONE - BETA 2]
Graphic showing status: download, extracted [DONE - BETA 2 & 3]
See which icons a pack contains [DONA - BETA 3] - click on Pack name (Main, Addon, etc.)
Notifications of new packs available or new contents for existing packs [not really needed in the current form of the app]
Please let me know what you think about it, if you have some suggestions or if you're good at Android programming (because I have a looooot of questions that need answering and would always welcome some help )
Enjoy!
Great App
Love the app easy to use and loving the new Blue Flare icons changed everything on my phone to the blue ones straight away. Will you be taking icon requests for the Blue Flare set on this thread or when you add them to your other icon thread?

Haha, didn't think of that...
Please use the other thread. Mention Blue Flare and the Plays Store link to the app you need the icon for.
Thank you
Great App!
Thanks!
But I got some suggestions for it:
1. Downloading icons:
After the download I don´t see, which pack is already inside the folder or rather is already downloaded.
The same is for the extraction of packs. A flag would be great to see, which pack is already extracted.
Splash! Icons especially:
Thank for AddOn 3
But for Addon 2, it´s not extracted in the splash-subfolder (/sdcard/IPM/splash/) but in another folder inside ../splash/.. (/sdcard/IPM/splash/Addon 2/).
Addon 1 & 3 are extracted inside the main - splash-folder.
Donation:
Will there a possibility to donate via play? Or just via paypal?
Future App suggestions:
Let the user choose the folder to extract the icons - nice to have - but not essential
Thats for the moment
Thank you for your feedback.
The idea with the flags is good. Will implement sth for the next update.
The issue with Splash_Addon_2 was with the zip file actually (it had the folder inside). I fixed it already.
As for donation, for now I will only have PayPal as an option but maybe in the future I will include some sort of in app purchase through the Play Store.
Finally, I don't think I will give the option to save anywhere the user wants because I would have to store that option somewhere and use the path for extraction and any other operations and it can get messy

I want to ask how to install those icons?
Do we need to install Go launcher?
Im using Apex launcher is there any way to change the icons?
Thanks

I never used Apex but I think it has the option to change the icons for the apps shown on your Home Screens. Probably something like long-press on an icon and then an option to change it should appear.
Then simply browse to the /IPM/<Icon Pack Name> folder on your SD Card and from there select the icon.
Unfortunately this has to be done manually for every app on your Home Screens that you want to change.
I will (eventually) create ADW icon packs and then it will be a bit easier but it may take a while.
Let me know if you got it to work.
Good luck!
BETA 2 is out!
Hi everyone,
I just updated IPM to version BETA 2. I improved some stuff, added some stuff...
Added an on-screen menu.
Removed the Options Menu.
Improved the way Search looks.
Added a "How-to" explaining how to use this app and the icons.
Added notification messages for events like archive already downloaded, extracted.
Added a "status bar" to the Download buttons: white = not downloaded, green = downloaded
Added a "Request" option to let you ask for icons directly from the app. Instructions are in the Help section.
Still working on features and planning 1 or 2 new icon packs.
Please let me know what you think or if you have comments/questions
Requests?
I was wondering if you would like to see some specific feature(s) added to this app. What else would you like it to do?
Also, just a thought, any other icon designers out there who would be interested in having their packs included in this app? I am not saying I will do this soon, nor do I know if I actually want to do it. I was just curious if anyone would be interested in such a thing.
PS: Thanks to all of you who downloaded this! I have almost 400 downloads

Appreciate your work ?.
And it's good to see the forums getting live again, it's been dead for a while.
Downloading now, the theme looks nice from the pics. I prefer simplistic themes myself.
Worked on my Honor 8 Lite(PRA-LX1), then some meaningless google security update came out and now the theme is enabled but everything except the gray-ish status bar color is not working shame i really liked the nav bar and the lock screen thou
I appreciate your work dude. I loved you theme.
