[Q] ICS app drawer icon, outer glow settings - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I´m making some icons in Photoshop for my GN and I´m using the app drawer icon (ic_allapps.png) as a reference. I´trying to replicate the glow that is around the circle but just can´t get it right. Does anyone know the settings to get the outer glow to look just right?
I guess the settings I´m looking for should be located in:
Right click layer-Blending options-Outer glow: Then what?
I would really appreciate some help here.

Try using Drop Shadows to get a nice blur/glow effect.

[Theme] Alternative of bluestar 5

Thanks for Stericson's Transparent Tab and Icons and Manup's Icons and Status Bar. Here are some screenshots...See if anybody wants it then I will redo a update seriously...
I change the program title from grey to black and some colour tuning for status icons, the battery icon will also show as light blue and light yellow with shadow respectively
I actually really like this. The only thing I hope you can change is the menu tab. I prefer it visible, apparently unlike everyone else. I don't like the blank gap at the bottom of the screen, and I like to see the tab to re-assure me that it's there and that I clicked/dragged it.
Hey not 2 shabby
I Want It!!!!
Out of curiosity, why do several of the menu bars have diagonal lines on them? Is this an issue with resolution? I know the Stericson's first one didn't have it, but the new one does.
That's the image. It's supposed to be there.

Help? Notification Bar modifying

Okay I want to make the status bar transparent and the pull down tray as well.
I want something like the transparency the top bar in OSX 10.6. I hate hiding my background and since I'm going for a minimal look, it's awfully distracting.
I tried to make the edits myself in photoshop and went ahead and resigned the .9.png files too. But when I pushed the framework-res.apk file back...only the notification bar had changed. and the pull down bar stayed solid.
Can anyone list for me which files specifically I need to change so I can make the notification bar and pull down tray transparent?
I would go ahead and make the changes myself.
I'm currently on FreshEvo, anyone think it would look better on cm6? or easier?
I found that 85% opacity seemed to work well enough but the black bar on sense was less than ideal, but acceptable. There was a problem with that too, the icons for mail notifications, cell signal, etc had their own black background that showed like black squares, I'd need to know which files to edit for that too.
I'm thinking that the aosp top bar, or if anyone knows of a white/aosp theme for senseroms, would work better.
P.S. The first time I edited my framework-res, I had to re-add all my accounts on the phone? what happened?? lol
All help appreciated

in launcher pro, making the status bar transparent wont matter becuase there needs to be a wallpaper hack i believe, unless you use a live wallpaper, the transparency will show. All the files are in the framework-res.apk that you need to change i believe, aside from the pulldown tray, that is the services.jar. i could post my theme for ya, but it changes everything.
What is your theme? Maybe there's a framework-res in it I could take a peek at to compare your edits.

What do you edit in services.jar? I cant find the reference to it... the pulldown tray, that is, making it transparent.
The bars in your bottom picture are in framework-res/drawable-hdpi/
-status_bar_background.png
-status_bar_header_background.9.png
-statusbar_background.png
-status_bar_close_on.9.png
In that order
You need to edit all of the status bar icons also they have black blocks behind all of them. Like stat_notify_disk_full.png there are some in framework-res and some in com.htc.resources
The white part can only be made transparent with services.jar. I know there are downloads of it on here just do a search for services.jar.
Manup has a bunch for download that make it transparent and remove the clock and stuff.
Here is a guide on how to make your own

Thank you, answered my question fully.
Would I be correct to assume that in cm6, all the status bar icons have white blocks begins them?

(REQ) Vertical icon tabbed theme/widget/mod

I'm trying to find a mod/widget/or theme that I can put tabs flush against a home screen (vertical). These tabs would all be folders/apps. And if possible customizable titles for the tabs.
Anyone know of something I could use? Thanks in advance!
The only thing I know of that comes close would be Circle Launcher. It can be used in a vertical or horizontal straight line. I'm sure you could maybe position it against one side and you can customize the icons/labels.
Good luck!

CM11 Pulldown settings icon cutoff

For those of you guys with CyanogenMod 11, I'm having a little issue with the settings pulldown menu. The icons are cut off when the phone is on landscape mode... Here's a screenshot. I know it's a very minor issue but it seems to bother me quite a bit, any fix for this?

set your launcher to NOT DISPLAY ICON TEXT. You KNOW what the functions you set up by looking at the icons, so you won't need the text, right? That will give you more display area without cutting off the icons. Also, you might use smaller icons and closer together (all configurable in your launcher's software.)

I'm using Nova Launcher and there are no settings that change anything from the pulldown menu.

[Q] want G3's icon pack either all round or square and same color background

I'm not a developer and have no idea of how to make my own icon pack so here I go with my request to the themers I guess?
I want the same icon pack that comes with the G3 but all the icons either square or round or both.
The second request is that the background for all app has to be either that beige or whatever color it is or that green-blueish of the G3s widget. For example the same green P_toti used for his G3tweaksbox icon (both color options would be great!). Picture attached
Idk how hard is this to create but I'm willing to pay if not too pricey. By the way I'd like too keep the icon details like the white and the shade on the message app and the white and black the G3tweaksbox app.
Thanks!
please! or at least tell me how can I start experimenting with editing icons or creating my own
