brn. icons

I was thinking we could have a thread to share brn. icons for 6 side app. and 3 side app.

sure, i made a bunch i just have to zip them and make some gif previews and ill post

Awesome spunks3, anyone else?

Hey Guys.. I myself own a Telus Branded HTC CDMA Touch... But since the Vogue message board wasnt open when I started it I dont think I just made my own icons thread in there. You can download all the icons that have been posted so far here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351551
These Icons include Png format AND Brn format. Icons for the Ap Luncher and Mediahub as well.
Hope this helps in your search!

heres my icons (examples)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(this is what it looks liek when pressed - look at sprintTV)

here are the other 2 sides and the icon pack

oh yea, forgot to add - i have made these for each spot ont he cube, so lets say u want you IM icon to be the top it would be names IM_top and for when it is pressed it would be IM_top_press. and if you wanted middle, it would be IM_mid and IM_mid_press, and for bottom IM_bot and IM_bot_press... so you can fully customize where you want your apps.

Can anyone point me to a howto on creating brn icons, etc.? Any tutorials out there?
/Kevin

i'm just trying to create my own icons as well ..... e.g. for ICQ.
the theory works quite well, I use photoshop psd file in which clean backgrounds for all icon positions and HL icon is ... I then edit some icon as a new layer over it, save it as 24bit bmp and use bmp2brn to transform it to brn format.
the problem now is is that though the icon is displayed correctly and the background is flawless as well, the actual icon becomes very poor quality.
how to work around this? as the icon is 119x105 pixels for the standart 2x3 app page, my overlay iconlayer has to be around 50x60 pixels to fit over the shadow. for this i have to recalculate its resolution which lowes quality of course but it still looks ok in photoshop .... the bmp2brn tool seems to mirror the image in some way and hence screws its quality.
Anything known about this ?
If desired i'll up some images illustrating how the brn looks liks after reconverting it to bmp again ...
Thx alot

[THE] Transparant (Glass) slider! And 2 Clocks

I've made a transparant slider. (without icons on it)
transparant (Glass) Slider! (Thnx NisseDILLIGAF for this files.)
transparant Bottom bar
transparant b.g. bricks
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
zip files
I've also made a Digital (Sprint) Clock and a Analog Clock.

Clock and slider and lower icons seems less whitish, but hte TF3D big icons seem still white - not changed?
I think it might be easier to show pre and post difference (not only clock but "mensen" for example)

I did not change any icon on this theme. (so you can use your own)
I only have made a new slider, now it's fully transparant. It's not showing any icon on top of it. (only under)
And i've made the bottom bar and b.g bricks transparant. Thats all.

We always wanted to get rid of Diamond blackness and you are giving us a piece of black hole But it looks really great. Im considering downloading it. Much better would be to reverse the colors. White would be the base and then use some colors on the icons...

Hi pamas, could you you please tell me which files are just for the slider, I have been looking for that. Or could you even better just post a zip with only the transparent slider, thanks.

Done that, look at the first post..

I see it there now, very fast. Thanks very much.

I recommend this slider
This slider looks great and works perfectly with my theme, I hated the old one it looks so ugly. So I thoroughly recommend this customisation to all. Thanks again pamas,

Your welcome. Thnx!
I've edited it a little bit. Moved the slider a few pixels down.

Ok will try the new one as well.

After installing the bottom bar and slider my htc is acting really strange. I have soft reset it three times. It doesnt allow me to type in my pin password and doesnt even load touchflo3d

Thx
The new slider works fine for me and looks great.

Removing them now my htc is back to normal!

my touchflo wouldn`t load either?? i have unloaded it and now back to normal. shame i like the idea of no backing to the icons

Yeah, i dont like having the menu bar's i want to remove them but this seems to be the only way But doesnt work.

Great thanks
By any chance you could create a semi transparent (glass-like, doesnt need shades) bar?
just the bar, icons not needed.
Great, thanks

Same on this side, touchflo will not start anymore, after removing this it is back to normal. Hope there will be any solution.
By the way, the problem is couse the tranparant slider. The transparant bottembar is working fine.

Maybe some people are having manilla build issues I have 1.2.34837.3_1813.6 at the bottom of my settings tab and the slider is great for me. I have Dutty's 2.2 rom (great).

Just installed the transparent bottom bar .cab on my TouchPro to add to over a dozen other Manilla mods... works really well.....!
Thanks for sharing pamas.....
.

It's a beautiful work pamas!
Thanks!
But it doesn't work with call history tab (TF3D doesn't want to launch) and Black_HTC_ColourTabs (the standard tabs re-apear...)
Maybe you could make something?

I try to do a cab for u i hope it works

TNX a lot. This is what I need. When I tried the fully transparent one, I could see letters on some tabs mixing with menu icons. Didn't like it.
Thank you once again, bro.

That is really good! If it's possible, do you think you could make it as the home tabs transparency? without the blackscale? so they match equally?
That would be terrific! And maybe extend the transparency down to the menu bar?
Cheers mate!

I have done a cab file for my own transparant slider, if u have any ideas for a nother slider, just send me a pm

up to to the top

is it possible to create a cab that can make semitransparent bottom and top bar?

yes i think so, i can fix it later, i have a lots of homeworks to do tonight

some pics howe your semitransparent bottom bart looks like would be great!

Attention with that one, it kinda ****ed up my TouchFlo. Installed it, rebooted, and then it only said "tap here to start touch flo 3d" and if tapped it said "starting touch flo" for some seconds and then reverted back to "tap here..."
After uninstallation it works again but keeps asking me to tap the screen to start TouchFlo when I turn on the device which really sucks. Any way to get it back to automatic start?

Great mod! Now my TF3D is perfect: transparent top bar, semi transparent bottom bar, transparent flip clock, tranparent program tab, background image in every tab and change the background image every 30 mins automatically . It's better than iPhone !!!

strange then why doesn't it work for me? I got official 1.93 rom installed, and with the cab my touchflo won't start anymore.
Is there any other cab like this one floating around? I don't want to test the other cab from ricky, the first one in this thread cause its also from him and I expect similar problems.
But, what the real problem is with transparent bars is that you can see the text of the settings tab behind the slider bar, and I had a completely transparent bar before and in the programs tab it cut off the 4th row of buttons about halfway behind the sliderbar, the same was for the canvas' of pictures in the photo tab. isn't this partly visible also here, with a semi transparent bar?
you know what REALLY would rock? a kind of smaller sliderbar, about half thick so that it matches with the cutoff line of the pictures and the program buttons. Is something like that possible or even done?
I mean something like this, the reddish tint I added means the solid slider bar and above it should be transparent.

Bump.
I would be interested in a semi-transparent bottom bar with the same transparency as the one for the Home tab, but haven't got a clue how to go about it. Can anyone assist please? The .cab posted by RichardTenggren is semi-transparent, but is darker than the one on the Home tab.
I am aware that there are plenty of fully transparent ones, but I would prefer a semi-transparent version.

Help with Crystal clock

I really like the Crystal clock but I can't get it to load without the 2 white dots. I've tried with TF3D off, on resetting over and over and it either goes back to the clean white clock cab or this.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Recommendation?
Can someone recommend another clear/transparent clock that may work?
Thanks

Looks like its be left from a previously installed clock, installing any clock without that file won't remove it.

The normal flip clock in TF3D does not have any colons in it so this is probably a residual entry in manila from possibly the non-flip ATT clock or similar and as kien says adding new clocks that are missing that manila file entry will simply result in having the clear clock with the white colon overlayed on it.
The easiest thing to do in my opinion would be for you to find the original manila files for this non-flip clock and then browse the corresponding files on your phone with manila editor to see where the problem lies and delete the .png image for them.
Once done reinstall the crystal clock files and you should get a clear display.
If you have any issues, chuck me a PM and I'll try help you out as I too am a Jimi fan.

i got that clock and i got it in black also. I'll upload it real quick
I believe this are the 2 clocks, just copy the files in the windows directory. Each clock is seperated by folders

Question about modifying Slider

I've almost got my phone 100% the way I want it, more like 99.5%. Last thing I want to change is the slider. I don't really mean the slider and icons. I want the icons to stay the same. Most cabs will modify both slider and icons. Here is my home screen. I'm not sure what the correct nomenclature is, but the area behind my icons is a blueish color. I want to make it a two tone black/grey sort of like the top of the phone. Is it a matter of dropping some sort of image file into the manilla directory overwriting the existing one? Or is it more involved requiring replacing the icons as well? Any info or pointers on what/how I can change this would be much appreciated. I'm sure the info is out there I'm just not plugging in the right search criteria.
If it makes a difference I am running Sense 2.1

I would suggest using the "Remove Both Curtains" cab file. What this should do is make that blue hue clear - you will see the black background of your screen.
The following URL will show an image of what my 'slider bar' looks like...

It does make a difference . If you are on PPCG, chuckz07 has posted a fix using mode9 edits. Here's the link (I don't think I've posted enough here so I'm stripping the beginning part h t t p)
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=97345
It doesn't change the icons, just the slider. The files at the beginning of the thread are for the rom you are using where you have the small slider. If you look later on you will find where I have posted a modification that allows for a wider clear slider for those roms that have/need a wider clear slider.

Awsome. This finally did the trick. The C07 transparent slider stuff i could never get to work. Also tried the Glass/Metal and the C07 fix and basic. But this one at least made the slider all black so I am happy Tab still has color but I don't mind that at all. Yay no more blue!
