Hi guys,
I'm sharing these applications because I find them really beautiful. First install Win 8 launcher and then install 8.1. Then you have to apply the 8.1 theme through the Theme tile which has a T-shirt icon.
Kindly please give feedback on this.
I want parallax and option to change background of tiles just like start theme in wp 8.1. What i don't really want is regular transparent tiles just like the other competitor. Here is the example of what my suggestion looks like:

You suggestion in not showing on IE. Do you mean like when multiple tiles are showing a single picture just like in pieces? If that is so I'm afraid you can't do that with conventional methods.

This is definitely the nicest Win 8 launcher I've seen yet.. AWESOME JOB!!
What are the chances of you sharing the source code? Would love to help out and add in some features to it, I'll probably try and decompile it and see if I can hack in some of it for now though but these are some things that would make it perfect:
1) support for more grid sizes like 5 rows instead of 4 in portrait mode
2) better landscape mode for apps, different grid size for apps (6 across 4 down)
3) better landscape for start mode (right now in landscape mode the top icon ends up filling the whole screen at once instead of keeping the tiles the same size and filling them in accordingly)
4) better support for 3rd party SMS apps (it won't let me change that at all for badge count)
5) support badge icons on other apps as well
6) make status bar when scrolled to the top of start screen stay color of the top tiles instead of default to the black (so it's like it is when its scrolled down but always)
Thanks again, your launcher made me feel at home again after switching to android from windows phone!
Any updates on this application? I really love my 1520, and now I have a Note 4 and I miss the UI and live tiles of Windows Phone.
can we have any other launcher.This is a great one,but want some more.
Same here.. Really looking for a good Metro UI Launcher for Android.. I HATE Androids home screen..
GOOD
Gr8 nut you should a custom theme engine.

Hi all I have created some simple back ground World Time Clock backgrounds which are dark themed, they are not much but they add that Touch Sense/HTC home screen Clock to your Windows Phone. Note I am not the creator of the app, that credit goes to Thunder_ for creating the wide tile clock and allowing for one to add custom png background files to personalize the clock and also to jayjojayson for creating lots if not most of the PNG clock tiles including the transparent ones that I love and use in most of my personal backgrounds. You can check out Thunder_'s work as well as other custom back grounds by celikba and drkfngthdragnlrd over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435822
Not bad! I wouldn't use them, but I'm sure there are some who would enjoy that.
Thank's sinister1

I know, most people won't use them which surprise me. The simple fact that most thought that the clock on the start screen wouldn't work and then the fact that most also thought that only MFG's could create wide tiles makes this app great.
Hi guys,
Total android Newbie here.
Just been playing around with my Nexus 7 and theming it.
Im currently running Nova prime with minimal MIUI icons (will upload pic soon)
I like the look of some of the large rectangular metro style icons which I would like to apply to my setup. What program would be best to assign actions to the images?
I tried desktop virtualiser and it uploads the metro icons but they look pretty small and theres no option for resizing.
Any help would be appreciated
You should be able to change them using Nova.

What the guy ^ there said, plus if you use uccw you can use those images, the metro style images, as either a background or insert as an image, scale as you see fit, then add a hotspot over them and assign the click action to whatever you want. Uccw is my go to for creating anything custom

You need to choose different sized widgets when using Desktop Visualizer. The 1x1 SS one will look like a normal icon, BTW. I haven't used it for a while, but it should have worked.
hey guyz.,
i just wanted to see colored icons on my windows phone, so i started working on it.
but two months back i got an android phone and now i'm too busy.,
i colored few icons(you can see the result in attached images).
so if any of you are interested please color the remaining icons and share.
thank you
@Sai Chrisna, I can tell you truly (nothing personal): if these icons was built in original WP UI, I'll never buy that "colorful" junk
Colored icons actually adds nothing to UI, but color scheme you've used looks really ugly.

Yea i know, i'm really bad at adding proper colors and that was also one of the reasons i shared the file here,
That was just a test file and we can always change colors
And i don't know why you didn't like it but all my friends liked it when i showed them
Sorry for the noob question but how do you change the icons on mobile ?

On interop unlocked phone with full file system access,
* Paste the ttf file in windows \fonts
* Edit the following path HKLM\software\microsoft\windows NT\current version\fonts
Key = Segoe MDL2 Assets
Value = segmdl2_test.ttf

Maybe 'cause I have a "sense of style"? You know, the really good icons (or any miniatures) creation requires a lot of stuff; you can't just colorize vector graphics and get a good result.
From my point of view, one of a great advantages of the "Metro UI" is a simplicity and brevity, and colors are not a part of the whole idea.
As for your friends: all people are different (and it's good of course!), many young guys are using naked gals pics or "Pokemon" themes for their handsets but I'm not of this kind :laugh:

If you haven't observed.,
I did not just add colors, i re-edited almost all the main icons, except for the "apps" icon that recently appeared on creators update.
I understand you've got that same old sense of style as Microsoft., No offense, but what's wrong? why don't you keep calm if you are not interested...
There are some people like me who use "third party themes & icons" on desktop and want to apply the same concept here on phone.
Don't post your personal opinions and discourage people who are interested in doing something cool.
perfect ?
but i dont like the android icons
look like setting icon or sim card
A tecnical question
Witch app is used to edit this colored font file ?

Please help me..... I want to replace with original file
@sensboston
they are good looking icons even if not your style. have you produced any? lately?
@esgibtnur1, they aren't good: bunch of different styles, bad color gamma, not relevant images (to icon's meaning).
As for "have you produced any?": I'm not an artist (but I have a good sense of style) but one of my app tiles ("Voice Translator") was selected by Microsoft to appear on the gift card.
If you upgraded to Android Oreo 8.0 I am sure you noticed the new icon shape and the annoying background.
I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off but I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings...
Anyone knows how to do it?
Also i look a way to turn to old icons
you can change icons in themes....its easy !! htc theme have more than many milion icons themes or background....
but not change all sistem icon...
The icons look decent to me ( facebook needs some work ), the Settings menu structure and visuals and the changes in the battery menu ( previously Power ) annoy me a little bit.
"I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off" >>>>>>This is the adaptive icon feature of Android 8.0, not something "turn off the background" but each app must have all kinds of app icons (round, rounded square, square, etc.) in the APK, so that the launcher could pull the needed icon out and show. That's how adaptive icon feature works.
However, the case you described here, is just a set of icon pack made by HTC as default. What you need is just another set of icon pack which you can download for free in HTC Theme app.
HTC needs to stop making their home launcher so rigid. let us change things we would like to on a Nexus or Pixel
install lawnchair it has the option to choose whatever background it's free and it is the best launcher I used hands down
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.deletescape.lawnchair.plah
So, here's the solution: install the icon pack here released by HTC today: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...5d60d?by=09abf6dd-1d5a-4cc9-b11c-d474867eec70
@Alpert3 Thanks, that helped partially...
For some reason, only some of the Google icons are still with the round grey shadow.
For example: Drive, Chrome, Photos, Gmail, Calendar, Play Store, Fit...
Can you add a screenshot?
I assume it's the the default round icon of Google apps.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZIqXgAAzQlQFhtx42
Yep, confirmed, it's the adaptive icon from Google.

What link not showing up in XDA labs
@6th_Hokage ??
I made a customized theme, using all rounded icons, I tried to keep all icons as close to stock style as possible. You can download here: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...a3?token=dbf74135-da27-4d8a-99d7-0e9b1a5eb425
For some reasons it was refused by HTC to publish, not sure why.
If you like my theme with all other stuffs, then keep it; if not, you can choose another theme you like then add choose the icons from my theme.
I can't download any theme from HTC Themes... it shows me an error after 5-10 min it said Impossible to download XX theme. I've cleared data of Sense, reinstall Personalize apk, i've also delete my HTC account sync and reenter my account... I don't know what do to... can someone help me??? Thx
Wrong topic...go post in general Q&A
Ok sorry
Hello,
This is a theme that i made for myself (honor 9 lite user) and i decided to share it with everyone
This theme features :
AOSP style lock screen
Oreo style icons (with shadow)
Clean user interface with white system apps
Clean new navigation buttons made from scratch
Rectangle notifications
Changed colors for quick settings (More modern look)
Reduced gap next to signal icon
Some HTC style elements here and there
Download link : Click here
How to install :
1. Copy .hwt file into one of the following folders in your internal memory :
/HWthemes or /Themes or /Huawei/Themes
2. Close the themes app and reopen it to refresh
I've gotta tell, it's pretty good. I might just stick to this.
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.
