Are other companies now no longer allowed to use anything square? I guess you wouldn't be hapopy if it was rectangle either, because it would like a double wide tile...

I know vetvito, I was just being silly but seriously, it does look like it. I guess it's a change from everyone wanting to be like the iphone; now everyone wants to be like Metro.

Doesn't look like metro to me. Looks like an ugly widget though.
You may notice that developers are free to use round corners on icons, semi transparent icons, widgets, and even triangles, circles, rectangles, hexes, and all imaginable shapes to display information there.
It very clearly is emulating the metro look. The sharp corners, etc.
Anyone disagreeing must be on Google's payroll or something. It's profoundly obvious what they're going for there.

WOW, so microsoft invented rectangles with sharp corners, you are far worse than apple with rounded corners.
Even if they are trying to copy metro what that has to do with android, that's acers widget not googles.

So I made a lego dock for my wife's iphone before ( you can see it in the picture ) and figured until we got some good ones come out for the Captivate I would just steal some more of my son's legos and make me a dock for my Captivate.
Here is what it looks like, and of course with bluetooth holder on the side

I wonder if my knex would work well...

i love the captivate but I sure wish samsung would look at your side shot to see how dumb of a location they put the charge port in!
is that a theme or a specific weather widget you have on there? it looks really nice. actually i like the entire display format.
So heres my shot at this. Great idea and all the credit goes to the OP for the idea, I tore open my closet looking for my old legos after seeing this.
Heres my landscape version. Its raised off the bottom so i can use wide rubber bands as "feet" which are wrapped around flat legos.
Legos rule...I must buy some when I get home from iraq
Haha, that is awesome man! I think i'm going to have to make one too, hahaha. Thanks for sharing! Is there anything legos can't do??? haha
Peace

Seeing as how we can't currently add wallpapers beneath the tiles, I figured we could at least get some going for the lock screen. I'll start off with a few right now, but plan to add a lot more. Right-click and "Save Image As..." on the wallpapers you want. You can find many of these wallpapers over at deviantArt.com. Enjoy.

That looks pretty clean. Where's the picture from? WP7 choice?
Was going to create a thread but I saw this one.
This is what I use atm to show off the very vibrant SAMOLED in Omnia 7.
Saw some very good ones here that I might use.
Very nice!!! Thanks
I'm working on a few myself. I'm just modifying a few I have to fit WP7 screen.
Will post them later.

Looks good even tho I will miss the orb and flag.
i know it's all metro, but i don't like it, i liked the orb most too
WP7's logo is better than this.
Umm.. kind of too simple. The previous one was way good compared to this!
very simple ...but how lod windows8 before release.

I think the new logo is not bad, but yes the old one was a classic!
Win8 logo
I think it's cool...it's metro-themed, and it's angle represents the new Windows 8 transitions when multitasking between different apps.

This looks old
I'm guilty of this as well, but maybe it's just not wanting change? Something as iconic or recognizable should be kept the same imo. Take Target for instance, a simple unmistakable logo. I understand updating and modernizing, but I don't have to like it, LOL.

if the angle and perspective doesn't look 'off' to you, look at a window. on a wall.
no wait, DONT. just enjoy the new logo and don't ruin it for yourself.
I am not fan of this blue color but read somewhere it can be changed. Apart from it, it goes well with Merto UI and finally its a Window and not a flag
Was looking at a thread on the Verge asking for users to submit screenshots of their Android home screens. So I thought about what iPhone users must do in comparison hoping to find some funny meme about it. Didn't see anything intentionally funny, but found a blog that made me laugh nevertheless.
http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/lifestyle-roundups/45-iphone-home-screens/
I mean, seriously... these people actually think they have some unique home screen set up lol. Too funny :laugh:
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
The iphone homescreen isn't even as customizable as the Android app drawer.
This seriously made my night. Good find.
Mine count?

Gotta love how only your wallpaper can define your uniqueness. Reminds me of my BB days back in 05-07.

Haha! I'm not sure how most of you react to this, i wasn't really planning to share it either. Just thought i'd fire up photoshop a bit since i enjoy doing that every once in a while. But I thought meh, it won't hurt.
This concept is far from done, for instance the battery icon, the text message menu and a few other things i'm personally still not satisfied with. I was even planning to design my own imagination of an app drawer. If i had the skill to implement this UI to a rom i'd probably spend a few days trying to hit the nail perfectly, but guess what? I have not the slightest clue of anything to do with a rom other then flashing.

Haha! The things over there are beautiful. As much as i like the things there, i find things like this need to be implemented into a rom to have the full feeling. When you click it, it just doesn't give the level of satisfactions without a proper animation. This, of course, is just my opinion.
I remember designing my own homescreen using the apps and what ever else methods they had over there, i loved the design itself but when clicking an icon it just fell so dull. It would open up regularly. If the icon would bounce off the screen or if the animations are tuned(implemented). I believe that would not only give a good design it would make it feel good too.
Very cool idea with that text thing :good:
