Hey all, just a quicky here, but, for everyone out there who likes designing wallpapers for Windows Phone, I've made a quick mockup template that includes the dark overlay, lockscreen text, notices, and system tray icons that will co-exist with your wallpaper on the phone so you can more quickly test how your wallpaper will work with text on it, or just show to people as you develop it so they can see what it'll actually look like in use. Been trying to find something like this for a while, but it's pretty hard to find resources for the lockscreen as opposed to app design.

Which contest are you talking about?
Re:Contest
BiapLorScarp is talking about WPCentral's wallpaper contest for a Focus S, although I've been working on getting this schlepped together since before then. Would've been handy to have back in September when I made a series of wallpapers to match an art show I was putting on, for example. Finally just had some free time to get it done.

I wanted to toss the first anime theme into the pot since people have been asking and here is my first attempt. Of all the anime I like, Ghost in the Shell (or GitS) is the only one that I could actually form some sort of an idea with. Here is the result (so far). Things are subject to change based on feedback and I'm looking forward to that. Whether you like anime or not, give me some pointers on what you think of the look in general.
Its in a workable form but I chose not to release it yet since I don't know what I want to keep and what to change.
When I finish I may remove all the anime refrences: character's, logo's, etc and make it a general sci-fi looking theme. I personally dont like having anything of mine splashed with faces and names.
Here are some screenshots.
Note:The reason you see two different color Tachcoma is because the blue one is the result of selecting/pressing the menu tab. Green is the default/norm. The delete icon is a laughing man logo which switches from green to red (roll over).
Edit: New Clock! (Laughing Man)

looks nice!!!!
Awesome! I love Ghost In The Shell!
Great job on this theme. I will definitely be using this when it comes out.
I'm actually using a ghost in the shell wallpaper with gloss suite right now , I'd post it but I don't know how mods feel about naked women despite them being androids lol ( tastefully done , just her standing over a dark city )
I was toying with the idea of making a GitS theme based on the original movie but figured it'd be hard to get quality pics with the new series being so popular ( and rightfully so )
My suggestion for this one, laughing man clock, if you could somehow make it spin all the better. Android doesn't seem to like .gif's from what I've seen though.
I'm liking the status bar icons though .

By request I changed the clock to a Laughing Man logo. Looks better imo and thanks for the suggestion on that.

This one is for all the New Orleanians and folks from the Gulf South who remember K&B and still refuse to step foot in a Rite Aid even to this day.
Just doing my part to represent the 504. What up, wodie.* Holler. etc.
This is my first theme and I'm still working on it, but wanted to throw it up here just to provide some additional motivation to finish it.
Granted, there's probably about 3 people on the site that will know what it's in reference to, but some of you might just like purple. **
In the end I took the K&B logo out of the battery icon since I figured someone would like it just as a pink/purple theme without the obscure reference to a non-existant regional drug store chain.
I did not touch any of the home icons***, as I don't like that mix and match look that that usually results in, plus I'm just that lazy.
To Do: I'll probably change up some more wallpaper, finish tinting the menu icons (it's a rabbit hole once you start changing them,) and maybe go through and fix some of the color inconsistency that I've found... other than that it's a wrap.
* http://www.rapdict.org/Wodie
** Or pink -- as many of the icons are coming out a little pinker than I was looking for but f'it. I've done this much.
*** Some of the icons that are in the screen shot are from other themes that I happen to have installed right now.

yea props on the bar too
Lookin Good dude!
Nice 1st Theme!
Fixed some notification bar icons that were bugging me. Also changed the pull tabs and some of the menu icons. This theme building crap is a friggin' rabbit hole. LOL
Updated the screenshot.
Updated dialer, mms and launcher. I'm seriously thinking about pullin out all the non .9 icons and just batch tinting them with a photoshop action. This is rediculously time consuming. lol I can't imagine replacing all these icons with completely new ones.
Screenshots updated in first post.
LOL @ 4 non blondes... used to listen to them all the time back in the day... God... does that make me old???

Yes, but probably as old as me.
I updated the screenshots with a hipper musical selection.
Hey all. My friend just got his Magic last week, and we thought we'd give themeing the Magic a shot. This port/theme is based on haykuro's Rogers rev2 ROM found here. It's just a half assed port, at best, meaning that you'll have to fix icons and the clock etc yourself, using a home alternative and/or BetterCut. This pretty muck only themes the statusbar, the statusbar notifications and the menus.
Screenshots.

And a snap of the phone itself, running the theme.
(excuse the poor quality, the camera sucks)
Just thought I'd post it here since Magic themes in this section are few and far apart. As of now it's not a proper theme as it's just a modification of the files in the complete Rogers ROM, including boot.img and all that.. which means the update file is roughly 55MB instead of the normal ~10MB for a theme.
Anyways, if anyone wants to try it out, here it is: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HVDX8XY6
I take no responsibility for it, it might brick your phone. Try at own risk.
Nice one The desktop could use some new icons imho

Yeah, it's by all means not a complete theme. Just a proof of concept, if you will. I wanted to try Magic themeing out.
It's unlikely I'll ever finish it.
what is this for a weather app? o.o
is it possible to make black clean themes and use simple clean icons like the iphones. i do have an iphone but im in love with android so im not an oh my god i love iphone , just that the UI is so clean....Androids is very good as well but id like to have it cleaner, no fancy nothin simple black grey and white. Throw some cool orange/yellow in there.
Thanks
I was trying to create small font (hate big letters) and I got it, but there is one problem. If you check picture you will see that text is kind of up and down - not straight (kind like a wave - see image below). Why and how to fix this? Btw if someone wants to try I am including flashable zip below

Not saying you shouldnt create your own cause thats cool but HERE is a list of over 300 flashable fonts. If you havent got your working yet, id check it out. Ill take a look at yours though and see if I can figure it out.
Thank I know about those, but like I said, I want something small
Ok, I got it. For all people here who love smaller font just like me here is it.
I am including printshots soo you can see how does it look like. Hope someone will like it...
Enjoy !
Great! Looks good toh and I like your wallpaper! If you don't mind me asking, what was the problem and how was it fixed?

Ok I am expecting feedback going to sleep now need to get up early... Night.
After playing around a little bit here are my pros n cons:
Pros:
Allows App names with longer names to appear without being cutoff
very clean and legible
lets you see more of the characters of text you are typing
cons:
can make browsing a little more difficult to select links since more zooming is required at times.
if someone has bad eye sight then I wouldn't recommend it
Overall nice font pack! Can really grow to like it. But will probably stick with comfortaa
Hey ya'll: a while back I was trying to get this acer liquid metal launcher working on the Evo3d.
Honestly, I didn't get very far, but what I was able to do was to pull this sweet, interactive live "raindrop" live wallpaper out, and it was awesome, but it was sized completely wrong for the 3d.
That stock live wallpaper is included in the following zip file.
http://db.tt/7uo30Kk3
Another thing that came out of the whole effort was that I sent a copy to xda user jschmier, and asked for his help in the resizing, because,well, that's his forte.
Long story longer, he worked a long time working on the resizing angle, and though he wasn't able to do it, he DID re-theme a couple of them in kind of a blood-and gore motif, and they look great. The true size of these were 480X800.. (sound familiar?)
Anyway, there's the zip^^: extract it, and the LWP's are in subfolders:
1. The stock "raindrops one"
(which works perfectly.)
2. Jschmiers "Halloween" ones
(which work perfectly.)
3&4. Some wip apks based on stock and Halloween that I tried to throw together
(that mostly need a .png resized, they dont all scale right.. The file that is switched out in each one is a png called "back512" in the assets folder within the apk., if anyone wants to give it a go.)
Anyway, enjoy the ones that work, as I just remembered I had these laying around and now own this awesome phone with a 480x800 reso...( And feel free to lend a hand on resizing any of my pitiful attempts.)
ALSO: You can ONLY install these 1 at a time. If you want to see what another one looks like, you MUST uninstall the previous one, or the new one WILL NOT install (they all share common names..)
*Like I said, WIP.
(But Halloween is over a month away).
(Also, I want the 'Mike Tyson sweating' one the most. )
I'll post some screenies in a minute. Thanks.
