I'm new to Zooper and slowly learning how to do things in the app. I've been building and tweaking screens and am learning new things everyday. I'm trying to figure out how to get icons in the app for shortcut use with calender, music, messages, etc.. Is there somewhere that everybody gets these icons? When searching around, all I can find is the weather/battery icon sets. How to I get scalable bitmaps for the items I've listed? Thank you.

I haven't gotten into zip signing and all that yet. But I was wondering if it's possible or would even make sense to ala carte themes?
I saw a thread on fonts that sort of addressed this, but would it work of the clock and icons or other select things? Where instead of installing the whole theme, you could mix and match which ever you want?
I'm not sure what you mean but I'm guessing you wanna pull some icons from one theme and put it in another, yes that is possible and you MIGHT have to resign the zip and apk's.
You can just put the /system/apps or /framework folder by itself, with the updated apks in it, in an update zip and just flash it.
No that isnt what he means, he wants to know if you can just flash a specific set, such as just the fonts or just the clock or just the notification bar. Right?
While it does seem possible through a couple unrelated threads, the more you brake up the flashes, the more "ugly" the strucure gets/ That is not the correcr word, but it would probably be safer and cleaner to build a theme. But, I believe it is possible. Someone with a better understanding of the entire process, such as Stericson, could address your question with a little more certainty.
i took this as you like a clock that is held in theme A and the fonts in theme B and the icons in theme C and you want to flash those three components, if that is not right then please tell me and try to explain a little better what you meant by this. if you wanted that you would have to either extract those such items from the themes they are apart of(with the devs' permission of course) and then put them all into one zip and resign it, which isn't that hard at all, especially easy if you have windows and you download the auto-signer app. or if you do not want to make the sip and sign it you would have to ask the theme dev to extract the files for you and sign them for you and give them to you.
personally as a theme dev i would probably tell you to figure it out if you wanted parts of my theme, and if in a few days you decided to ask again i would be willing to help you. i certainly wouldn't just take the file you wanted and zip and sign them. i like to help people learn, that would be spoon feeding and i am really against that
My question is about the structure / theory of themes. Right now a theme consists of many things; a clock, icons, background, menu button….. and whatever a dev decides to put in that one update.zip is what you’re stuck with.
I’m wondering if you could have an update.zip that just does the clock without changing the other icons. And visa versa, and update.zip that just does the menu button without changing the clock…. And so on.
So as a theme creator can I create a bunch of clock update.zips.. or a series on menu buttons.. so themes become more like skins, where you can skin just the clock, or just skin the icons.
Can I install an update.zip for the clock. Then immediately after, install an update.zip for the menu button without messing up the install of the clock.
I’m not thinking of anyone’s themes in particular… and I’m not talking about a single update.zip that does the clock and icons.. I’m thinking of multiple update.zips that are either the clock or the icons or the font.. where it’s more ala carte.

Yes, that is very much possible. You WILL have to resign everything you edit though.
This can be done but certain apks contain multiple features (the Launcher.apk contains the clock and the programs drawer).
90% of all graphics, save for icons, are located in just three or four apk's, so you can't really mix and match all that much.

Unless you are willing to dive deep into the waters, and learn what images are for what aspect and where they reside. Then, you can mix/match/replace as you see fit. My phone has a few icons from Blue Star 5, most from Fade to Blue, most elements are from Fade to Blue, some status icons from Code Name Ninja, a custom status bar & tray handle, a custom designed clock, and some custom text on the lock screen.
But it definitely involves some time and work, figuring out which elements I want, where to put them (or get them from if not creating my own files), resigning each APK, repackaging into an update.zip (or multiple updates, as I do incremental changes often flashing only the modified file over) resigning that, and crossing your fingers that you did everything right. Of course nandroid nandroid nandroid!!!

Definitely. Though that is almost as much work as making your own theme from scratch

Except for designing the icons, and all the painful work that Damnitpud put into the .9.pngs for FadetoBlue. It surely wasn't as easy at copy and paste to get it the way I wanted it. But, I gotta say, it is nice to have a theme that I know is unique and holds some really cool elements.
I took some of my friends complex line drawings, used one for the status bar, and three different ones for the launcher drawer. I also used a photo I had taken for the clock, while placing the minute/hour hands outside of the numbers - keeping the rest transparent so it would work on any background.
But, yeah, to the OP - anything is possible. But it can turn into you creating your own theme for the most part.

That's my wife, I get to keep her forever now. We got married just under 7 months back. on a supposedly very lucky day 8/8/8. And, yeah, she is very cute!
I'm creating my own "minimal" theme but I'm stuck on a couple of things and no matter how hard I've looked through the mode9 & lua files I can not find the parts I'm looking for..
As you'll see from the Calendar page, I can change most of the colors I need, but the one that is bugging me is the top page description which does not change regardless of the settings I alter.
Also, for the clock, does anyone have digital clock tabs with coloured notifications so that when I change the transparency they don't dissapear? I'm not a very good artist
If someone could point me in the right direction regarding the mode9 & lua files that I'll need to change what I want to change it would be appreaciated.

Yea, got help from elsewhere thanks a while back..
I just referenced my post for another thread is all
I am trying to change the look of the default dock for the EVO. I have been able to change the background for it, but after a few hours of looking around for the XML file that controls the layout of the dock, I still can't find it. Any ideas where that specific file is? Also I am looking for this file so I can get rid of the word "phone", along with the plus and circle arrow icons. Am I going about this the right way by finding the XML file then alter it to get rid of the images/words?
Thanks in advanced!
If launcher pro is an option for you?
they have hundreds of docks, styles and show ways to make yours 100% custom for your needs. google LP and check out the web site forum under themes
I have been searching the forums for an icon pack that is just plain bright white and compatible with CM9 or AOKP(although I really don't know that compatibility is an issue with icons, maybe someone can correct me there) and am not finding anything.
I'm really not looking for anything too fancy, just basic icons that are a bright white instead of the stock icons, similar to what you see in the Black Infinitum theme menus. I'm not really looking for much, just standard apps (gmail, calendar, messaging, phone, play, contacts, email, camera, maps, navigation, calculator, browser, voice) and maybe a few others of the really popular apps (facebook, dropbox, scorecenter, etc...)
If anyone could point me to icons that would work I would appreciate it, if there are none if a dev could take it on I would also appreciate it very much.
Thanks!
Found these on XDA

and the link below has some, but I can't figure out where to download them from..

That second link is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but same as you I don't find a download link. Thanks for the links nonetheless!

You can buy droidicon on the market for $5. It has a number of icon packs available in a number of colors and styles. It was previously called launcher pro icons and docks and meant for lpp, but you can use them on any launcher that you can change icons on. You will have to edit them yourself though, you can't install them as a theme or pack. You download the icons one by one from a list. I use the white icons on it for aokp with nova launcher, pics for the doc and text for the nav bar, they look really good. I would post screenies but I'm running miui.us atm. Hope I could help tho.
MOD EDITED

I used that for awhile... some of the icons are pretty generic, but the custimazation options are limitless, which more than makes up for it...
I really like that! I am going to give it a shot.
[EDIT] So I installed it and REALLY like these icons. They are pretty run of the mill designwise, but I wasn't looking for anything too off the wall anyway. What a great find, thank you!
Hey guys,
So I've got an awesome theme design in mind, and i need to create a wallpaper design that lines up with the elements of my theme (all the Widgets etc).. For example, the wallpaper having a sidebar, or segments for the Widgets and whatnot to sit inside of.. stuff like that..
Anyhow, I'm gonna give it a shot, but im not super pro with Photoshop. So to save some time, i was going to try to just find a wallpaper that i can work with. So here's my question:
- Where can I find wallpapers that have these types of "layout" style of designs, that i can use for creating a theme with?
Been searching everywhere but can't seem to figure out how to word it correctly :/
Thanks in advance!

Like, is there a specific name for that type of wallpaper? Something like "layout wallpaper" or something I can search for to find the type of wallpapers I'm looking for?

Google "Icon Shelf Wallpaper for Android/IOS".. It's rather simple to make those wallpapers from any image actually, so if you'd prefer your own custom image, you could google "how to make wallpapers with icon shelves for android/ios". ^^

I usually just use a bitmap on a bottom layer, because you can adjust whatever image you bring in, allowing you to use whatever image you want as a background/starting point.
