What are some good tools for photoshop cc for icons making and is there a good book on photoshop cc?Has anyone use photoshop before with android?I hope someone can help me out
As for a tool to make icons with I would suggest using alien skin eye candy. It's a photoshop plug in and when you see it you'll understand why I recommend it
Is it free?

been searching posts for hours, have'nt yet seen this subject/problem covered. with the dark backgrounds on most of these roms, it makes it very hard if not impossible to view info on the screen outside in sunlight. i've used homescreen rebuilder to make my own w/white background and it's very good in the sun but it switches to a different homescreen. i know you can tweak some colors but any other options out there ?
S620 using ROM 3VO.2.90.092509. really love this one, very nice.
what is homescreen rebuilder?
Hi
I too have wondered about the display on my S620 while in sunlight. I was wondering if there was anything that could be done to make it easier to read the screen while outside. You mentioned homescreen rebuilder. What is that and how do I get it? I have been looking for something to make it easier to read the display while in direct sunlight. Thanks!
hey ramfan43, all the posts i've read here can't find anyone with the same gripe. google "madbeetle", click on 1st result_ madbeetle.com. it's called Homescreen Builder. actually found it on a freeware site. it's a bit limited but you have to check for yourself. i designed just a couple w/white backgrounds and really improved viewing outdoors. just switch back and forth. i literally can't see the screen to make a call. hopefully a better solution out there. can't be just me.
I am having the same issue. I can't see the screen in sunlight and I need to go in shadow to do anything.

Wow! LMAO Stylez...
Anyways, why is this such an issue. Wasn't it 'resolved' earlier on by mentioning to make the background brighter? Besides that, there is not much to do...the screen was not designed for the sunlight, it was designed to illuminate/create an image as much as possible, and it does that...any reflection, sunlight, or fading issues in the screen are just hardware (as far as this thread is concerned).
I say that the only permanent solution that is both cheap and easy is Stylez haha, if it bothers you that much, cover it with your hand...
OR
Just don't use it when you are outside! Being outside is when you should be one with nature, not separated both socially and physically from the real world by the means of an electronic device....
Those are my 2 (or more) cents.
Guess I threw one you guys can't solve. i've done the "cover the screen with your hand thing" it does'nt help much. thought the idea of a cell phone was so you "could" use it outside. i learn fast and when i figure out how to make my own ROM or tweak someone elses, i'll do it myself. i don't know enough yet but seems to me all that needs to be done is design with lighter backgrounds or the ability to switch the homescreen colors. anyone tell how to tweak the color on 3VO EXCA 6.5 ? very, very nice ROM.

All of what you want to do with regards colours is simps, change wallpaper in settings, if using 6.5 make taskbar same colour also mentioned in a thread, if using standard taskbar then basehue changes colour.
With regards cooking own ROM goodluck
I use the opposite dark homescreens and can still use phone in sunlight via the diy hand
Thank god for OLED becoming the better choice nowadays.

Nothing about being dumb Just that we don't have a proper light config and not everything on a win mo device is twaekable. oh let me say that again not everything on a win mo device is twaekable

I just had an awesome idea for kind of a demented app. Basically the app would open with activating the camera and a template that resembles a rifle scope. Then the hunt begins, . You hunt down your friend or enemy and when you get them in your sites you pull the trigger and the app sounds a shot and captures the image. Now that you have there image you can subject your pray to any number of things. Things such as, machine gun fire that would animate shooting holes in the image complete with all the blood and gore you would expect. or Nuke them and the image just fades to gray and falls to dust. or Darts, ever want to play darts with your bosses face, now would be your chance also complete with the trickle of blood. There would be countless tortures and funny things you could now take your frustrations out with.
I told you it was demented. but what do you think?
I could help with some of the animations and graphics.

I thought I'd start a thread on wallpapers that really make you go 'wow' when you look at the screen.. They have to be at least 720p of course and preferably blend in well with the icons/ICS theme.
Allow me to start:
Edit: Added HD zipped version.
Nice! I just set it as my wallpaper.
There's some nice ones in the apps and themes forum. I think the title of the thread is something like black and bright colors wallpapers
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Here are a couple i have used on mine that i found on the net... they are both nice and sharp. The one with the blue cubes match perfect with the colors of the ICS theme...
EDIT: Someone made a good point that the forum compressed the images.. I updated them with the higher res versions of the images... look much better.

The one with the blue cubes is great.
Red really pops on the screen. The Star Fish looks amazing
More. I have tons
None of these posted are high enough resolution for the screen. They should be sized to 1440 x 1280, and if you add them as attachments, you should add the originals to a ZIP archive before uploading, so that the forum does not compress them.
I've attached a few I've collected.
Here are some more
Can someone create a Chicago Blackhawks or Purdue BOILERMAKER face for moto 360?

Here's a Boilermaker gold and black Rolex face I made the other day...
If you mess around with Facer a little, faces like this are extremely easy to do (and I'm sure almost everyone here is at least ten times better than I am at stuff like this)... I don't even really know what I'm doing, and was able to make that face in just a few minutes (minus the weather icons which took a bit of figuring out), with nothing other than the Facer app on my phone... I've been messing around with the weather icons and temp, and battery, but things like that are very easy to add or remove... but it's real easy to make a Purdue face (instead of Rolex), or add or change any images you use, etc... I even find websites just dealing in watch faces, so you just use those images and don't even have to worry about photoshopping arms, etc...

Did you ever find a Hawks face?

I thought I would start a thread where people could upload backgrounds that work well for the new "My Design" watchface on the updated Moto Connect app.
I'll start first with a black leather background that looks nice on the Moto 360. This is a simple yet elegant background that really looks good imo.
Here are a couple more for you sports fans.
What size are u guys using to make these?
The size doesn't matter. The app allows you to crop the image.
Enjoy
