[LAYOUT] Scrolling Wallpaper 'Dock' - With Tutorial - Desire Themes and Apps

ClassicalGas Presents..
Scrolling Wallpaper Dock
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concept
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been experimenting with what I believe to be a unique use for the scrolling wallpaper. If using LP with 6 homescreens your wallpaper scrolls exactly one dock icon (1/5th of the screen).
I started playing around with using this as a screen indicator and dock icons to jump between homescreens using LPP Shortcuts. Shortcuts to all 6 screens are attached. I found you could effectively use the scrolling effect of the wallpaper in place of a screen indicator (although it goes the wrong way).
It takes a bit of playing around with the wallpaper to get it 100%. I've included a .PSD of one of my files, however the others aren't really in an up-loadable state. I've included all the scrollable wallpapers I've made as well.
I hope you get some fun out of this - If you do make something interesting and unique please post here to share it with everyone else!

Tutorial
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've had a few people wanting a tutorial on how to get the rainbow wallpaper set-up. Please keep comments and question in this thread, I would rather have questions answered publicly so they only have to be answered once.
The white bar is my own and is only available for OpenDesire, the rest of this theme requires the following and should work on any rom;

Launcher Pro Plus Settings​This give you the basis of the scrolling wallpaper 'dock'. From this I hope some run with the idea and produce their own wallpapers and themes

They are shortcuts to a different home screen when using launcher pro (might need the plus version). Extract them to your "download" folder of you sd card then either long press on the homescreen and select shortcuts - launcher pro shortcuts or, as I do, long press on your launcher dock and change the shortcut of the item to the corresponding homepage you want to go to.
With my setup the far left dock item should be linked to screen 6 with the far right linked to screen 2. Fill in the gaps. Screen 1 becomes a hidden screen this way.
Hope that helps!

Thanx maan! Now i have other question! xD I dont know how can i put the Wallpaper as you. You get in the center and the 1 and the 5 homescreen with the circle of the wallpaper full, but i dont get this, or the circle is not in the center or in the 5 or 1 homescreen only i see a middle circle.. I have 5 Icons Row in homescreen and I dont know if this can affect...

That looks übercool!

Should just need 6 homescreens.
In launcher pro;
Menu > preferences > homescreen settings > number of screens > 6

ehm ... how do you get the indicators to move through the dock?
after a look at your 'Scrolling_Wallpapers.zip' i find the dock and centered indicator included into the Wallpaper *.png's ...
and as far as i can see, there are no icons attached to the *.lps files ...
even though i might out myself as stupid, but i don't get it and don't know how to install :/
p.s. yeah i know how to install / import lpp shortcuts but i don't get how the images change / indicators move
edit: figured it out.

Completely OT but what are the second 2 games in the list? Big fan of RoboDefence and AngryBirds so hopefully the second 2 are just as good.

i don't know the bowling ball, but the creature with four tiny legs and the long nose should represent the game 'doodle jump'
edit: regarding my question two posts earlier ... you may now call me stupid!
i stopped thinking and just started trying

Thanks a lot...Great work...Awesome

You can leave the Dock untouched ... put the labels for the screens over the dock icons and add an gesture with launcher pro to each icon ... perhaps i will post some screens the next few days for mod res @ 200.
Can you post the rainbow wood source pic please ... looks great!

Gent, thanks.

where can I find the games icons?they are beautifull...

Hi, your theme is great. Just now I have the first problem. I can not change wallpaper. Im use LauncherPro Plus to use and when you try to change the wallpaper, nothing happens. Always be the old one. Sorry for English. thx

Are the page icons (i.e. Tools, Games, Home) available for download? Terrific setup btw.

You're a genius! Thanks so much for this

Wow, thats what I call an ''incredibly amazing'' Layout. Kudos
Question : Is a custom rom like yours required for this ?

Please what widget did you use for clock and calendar.
For the clock, it seems like you're using Digital Clock but with a different font than mine ? If yes, how did you change the origial font ?

WisBar Advance Desktop 2: Release 3 [12/19/08]​
This is ridiculous!! The theme works great, but I can't seem to get it to ya'll right! WTF! Anyways, go back to the 2nd release, if you never downloaded the third, disregard this. Instructions changed.​
For now, the theme will remain as is. Once the update to WAD2 is complete and working, I will rebuild the theme with two extra features, and to make sure there is no error in the theme with the newer version. So, in the meantime, everything works, but if you have any request for the final release, let me know! Enjoy!​
Release 3 added:
Those without Audio Manager installed were unable to launch the theme, shortcut was deleted
Added text to application tabs
Added Video Recorder Page
Removed Voice Recorder shortcut, not all may have, similar to Audio Manager​
I. How do I apply the theme?
1. Download the attachment "WisBar.zip"
2. Extract to the root, "\", of your device
For those that already have this folder from the last release, I suggest creating a new, blank WAD2 theme, set it as your default, quit WAD, then delete the ENTIRE WisBar folder from your device. Don't worry, all the same files plus more are included.​
3. In the "WisBar" folder you'll have two folders, "Project Storm R2", and "Project Storm WAD2"
Move the "Project Storm R2" folder to "\Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\Themes". Leave the other folder in the "WisBar" folder. These files MUST be in these locations to work! Don't worry about memory, sizes are small and it is best to have these on the device.
The reason for the "WisBar" folder is simple, I use this as my general folder for all WisBar items, graphics and others. This includes the WA3 theme.​
4. Open WAD2
Choose Settings, then "Change Theme". If you do not see "Project Storm R2" in the list, choose the option to "Scan for Themes", and it should then appear. Select the theme, and apply!​
II. On with the Show!
I've tried to use all available possibilities with WAD2, simply to have a better theme, and to use it for what it's worth. For those that used the first release, forget it even existed! This one is MUCH MUCH better. If you are new to WAD2, you will be in for a surprise! There is a lot to it, but once you understand it better, the easier all of this will make sense.
WAD2 is simply a "Virtual Desktop", it allows you to place almost any item you would like anywhere on the screen, with any number of screens. This is why this application is the best for this theme. If you have questions, feel free to ask here, we are all here to help.
For starters, at anytime you can swipe down to return home. Also, all shortcuts use default WM applications, this basically means opening contacts will launch iContact, if that's what you have installed.
III. Home Page
This your first page. Everything you need is here. At the top is the "Status Dock", and the bottom are your "General Shortcuts"
The Status Dock includes:
Live Battery Meter
Live Volume Status [Opens Volume Profile Manager]
Your Carrier Name
Live Phone Signal Strength
Bluetooth Status [Toggles BT power]
Data Connection Status
Wi-Fi status [Tapping toggles Wi-Fi power]
Clock [Opens Clock Page]
Long Date
The space below the date is used for the following notifications, only displayed when needed:
Missed Calls [Missed Call List]
Voicemails [Calls VM, you will need to change! Edit the script to call your own VM]
Emails [Opens Email Inbox, ActiveSync by default]
SMS [Opens SMS Inbox]
MMS [Opens SMS Inbox]
The General Shortcuts:
Messaging [Messaging Center]
SMS [SMS Inbox]
Contacts [Toggles Speed Dial Dock, shortcut to Contacts included]
Calendar [Opens Agenda Page]
Browser [Toggles Web Favorites Dock, PIE preset]
Media [Opens Media Page]
Weather Icon [Opens Weather Page, displays Home info]
Maps [Change to what you like]
IV. Applications Page
Like before, tapping the middle, blank part of the screen will open the applications page. This is fixed, so you don't need to look for it! At first, you're brought to the main applications page.
The bottom four are preset to:
Applications [Opens Page 1/3]
IM Apps [1 Page Only]
Games [Opens Page 1/2]
Tools [1 Page Only, Control Panel preset included]
The top two rows can be customized to launch your eight favorite applications.
To change between pages, swipe left/right, but this does not apply to the Main Applicaiotns Page.
ALL grids are set to "Object Grids". This means you can add more than shortcuts!
V. Media Page
This is really just a quick build. Once WAD2 is updated, the tab bar feature will be added here. Those who are unaware of this feature, it is similar to the tab bar of M2D.
Four buttons, these only change page, the large icons are the shortcuts:
Music [Audio Manager]
Photos [Photos & Videos]
Videos [WMP]
Voice [HTC Voice Recorder]
I used to have a second row for more, but I didn't like the way it looked, plus I'm sure majority of us use one general application for each media category. To change, just edit the button to launch the app of your choice.
VI. Weather Page
Fairly simple, forecast for days 1-4 on left, 5-8 on right. All general data is displayed in the middle. All icons and data are for Multiple Cities! This means the data for everything will update when you change the active city. The right arrow chooses the next city, left chooses prev, and maps brings you to a new blank screen. On the blank images page, just add a weather image of your choice.
Tapping the large weather icon will update the info.
VII. Agenda
Full screen agenda page, tapping anywhere on the agenda opens the calendar. Top left notifier displays remaining appt + all day, opens calendar, top right shows due today tasks + overdue, open tasks.
If you use PB or Diary, simply delete the agenda and add the plugin.
VIII. Clock Page
Simple clock page, arrows switch between digital and analog. If you have HTC Home installed, I suggest changing the digital clock to a HTC home style clock, just be sure to choose the location of the images! Alarm clock opens the default alarm application. This page also acts as a screen saver. On sync, this page will open, when done the home page will open.
*CONTINUED IN POST 2*​
*None of these images show the correct WA3 theme!*​
VIIII. Additional Notes
Included in this theme was a folder named "Additional Files", it is located under "\WisBar\Project Storm WAD2". Here you will find several different customized links for you to use as you like.
The following are included:
New Note
New Contact
New Appointment
New Task
New Word Document
New Excel Spreadsheet
Open SMS Inbox
Open Specific Inbox
Control Panel Shortcut
Default email link is set to open ActiveSync, to change, change the properties with an application like Resco Explorer and change "ActiveSync" to the name of your Inbox. This is for the WM default mail application.
A great thing about these shortcuts is they are linked to the default WM applications. This means for example, if you use PI8, and choose, "New Contact", it will open PI8, not the default application.
Users of FlexMail 4, see here, lots of great info:
http://kb.webis.net/questions/57/FlexMail+Command+Line+Parameters
When landscape is complete, those with a 320x320 screen can duplicate the theme files and use the copy for the second direction.
WAD2 Release 4 [Final]​
Not yet completed, just making of list of things that will be changed. Once WAD2 is updated, these will be posted.​
Each App Page will have shortcut to Page 1 [tabs will be shortcut to Main Apps Page]
More Apps Pages [maybe 5 vs. 3]
Lock Page
Tab Bar
Battery Icon [new]
Volume Button [changed, hopefully fixed]
Three Seperate Releases
1. Shortcuts/Speed Dial can be added without entering Author Mode [This means items can't be customized]
2. Shortcuts/Speed Dial must be entered through Author Mode [Allowing more customization to items]
3. Home Page Shortcuts will toggle docks [This means instead of launching email on tap, you will see a dock with inbox specific info, along with the shortcuts to open inboxes and create new emails]​
WisBar Advance 3: Release 1 [12/19/08]​
NO THIS ISN'T POSTED YET!
The idea for this theme is to match the WAD2 theme, and of course the Storm. At first, this may feel a bit odd to use, but after a day or it works great, for me at least. I have REMOVED the Start and OK/Close buttons. Don't worry, the functions are still there, just looks different. Now, you will have to set the order and functions yourself, the theme unfortunately only includes the graphics. Also, you do not have to set your taskbar like this, but I recommend it, because it will match the WAD2 theme, and looks awesome. There is a lot you can add to the taskbar, but by adding too many things, I feel you lose a "finger-friendly" taskbar. I like to have it simple, and display important info.
I recommend the following taskbar order:
Left Aliged:
Battery [Tap: Casc Start Menu, Hold: WAD2]
Window Title
Right Aligned:
System Notification [Tap/Hold: Show Notifications]
Clock: [Choose whatever]
Network [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]
Phone [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]
You'll notice I say use the Network and Phone Signal with the same functions. This way, it feels like you just have to tap the right corner to close, instead of tapping a small "X". Again, this is just a personal opinion.
Font looks best at 10pt.
Bottom taskbar:
I have included two different themes, one with a glossed bottom bar, and one with a flat black. I really like the way it looks glossed, but some may like the flat black instead. There isn't a lot of focus on the taskbars, more on the rest, like the buttons.

So far I think I'm good. I'm just surprised at how simple everything is, but looks so dang good. The only thing I'm trying to think about is the dialer, and how it can work for all devices. I've only made dialers with Tiermann's creator, which I think is for the Touch only.
Honestly, I've been staring at the first pic for almost 5 min now putting it all together in my mind! I may have to run to the store for some Starbuck's Double Shots !
Thanks for the support, I'll let you know when I'm stuck.
How big is each icon image for the menus? I could try whipping up a VGA skin if the icons are big enough.
go on!
I started this theme two days ago..
here a pic: I haven't resized anything allready so the buttons are bigger than normal for a 240x320 screen..

Once you get the buttons smaller, it should look very good
Are you going to have them link to new pages or directly to apps?
Alright, so I'm finally putting things together, I'd really like to finish this ASAP, since my new replacement device will be here next week, and I hate working with an incomplete theme.
The only thing I know I won't be able to do is a custom matching icon set, similar to the icons in the first pic of post 1. It won't include the background image, just the icons itself. So far, I've set the background to 60px wide, which should leave the icon around 45x45. If anyone would like to help with that, just PM me and I can send you what I've got.
Thanks!
Some screen shots posted.
Definitely blows away what I posted over at lakeridge forums. Terrific work.
JT, i'd like to help you in whatever way i can...
PM me with what you need.. i'll start working on it this weekend.
More screen shots up ! Check post 1 & 2.
Almost complete, just fixing a few things.
Argggggghhhh I need that WAD2 theme!! looks great!
This theme looks great. Good job!
I can't wait until this is done!!!! It looks amazing.

[LAYOUT|Widgets|3584 Icons] [Android Phone 7] for LPP and Desktop Visualizer [30/09]

Hi all,
I've created a "Windows Phone 7" clone Photoshop PSD layout. This is for HTC desire with a resolution of 480x800. Could work on other devices too.
The .psd provided comes with guides (the blue lines in photoshop) and slices for boxes like in the preview below. If you know your photoshop, you can handle it
The Iconpack (gallery):
http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2370677/1/Iconpack?h=898f93
The Iconpack (zips):
http://users.telenet.be/amahoela/win7phoneicons/
Update 30/09:
- added Digital Clock Widget in 7 colors
Update 29/09:
- added 2 new categories: eBook and Tweetdeck (want more? Just ask )
- Removed zipfiles, added dropbox gallery link instead
Update 26/09:
- added transparent icons (50% black, see screenshot below). Now a total of 3472 icons!
- added transparent widgets
Update 24/09:
- added two new widgets (Settings and SMS Unread Widget) in the post below
Update 23/09:
- added info on box sizes
- added widgets in 6 colors, see 2nd post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8226239&postcount=2
Update 22/09:
- Added an iconpack with 2928 icons (61 categories, 6 different colors, 8 different sizes)
- New .psd file added, used to create the iconpack
Credits go to:
newone757 for the combination LPP and DV idea (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455)
michd43 for the layout idea (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8220397&postcount=225)
More info on the box sizes:
This is the part where some people have problems...
Here is the full setup for selecting the right DV widget size:
4x1 image -> "3x1" DV widget (resize to 4x1)
3x1 image -> "2x1" DV widget (resize to 3x1)
2x1 image -> "small" DV widget (resize to 2x1)
1x1 image -> "1x2" DV widget (resize to 1x1)
1x4 image -> "1x3" DV widget (resize to 1x4)
1x3 image -> "1x4" DV widget (resize to 1x3)
1x2 image -> "1x3" DV widget (resize to 1x2)
2x2 image -> "middle" DV widget (resize to 1x1)
The Icons are from:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirements:
- LauncherPro Plus or ADW Launcher (LPP or ADW)
- Desktop Visualizer (DV)
Procedure with photoshop:
Open the .psd file in the zip-file provided in this post. Notice that the icons and texts are in 3 seperate folders in the layer window in photoshop. I like an organised view when I create/design something
You will see blue guidelines. If you don't see them, go to view - extras - guides. Within those blue guidelines you can create the coloured boxes (1x1, 2x1, 3x1, etc.). Make sure you respect the 10px spaces between the boxes. The only thing you need to do is edit the text and replace the icons.
When you have the layout you want, you go to "File" - "Save for web and devices" - select the slice you want to save and hit the save button
Save those images to a folder on your SD card.
Now you longpress on your screen and add widgets for DV. For example (and this may sound weird) if you want to add a 1x1 widget, select the 2x1 option, assign app, clear text in label and ok.
Then you resize the widget with the resize widget function of LPP or ADW (above, our example had a size of 2x1) to 1x1. If you want to add a 3x1 widget, select DV widget site 4x1 and resize it to 3x1.
For the dock you can take a transparent icon for each of the five positions, the last (which is over the circle arrow) can be used to open up the appdrawer. This works in LPP, no idea how that works in ADW
Procedure without photoshop:
Click the Iconpack gallery link and pick what you want, follow last 4 steps above.
Enjoy!
PS: post your screenshot please. would love to see everyone's modifications. mikecoffee had a pretty nifty take on the "Windows Phone 7" layout with an LCARS theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787060

I don't have Photoshop, so could someone just release all this as a collection of image files please?
This is confusing me now. How exactly do we apply this?
Do we just follow the .psd guidelines or does that play a part in applying?

Does this work only in HO!NO! mod or with the regular CM it should work too? I'm asking because the wallpaper don't fit in the screen exactly. The left side menu text in the background are off the screen (in screen 1) and the lower icons that should became visible through the transparent circle of the dock icon are off too and I can only see half of them.
Besides, when I go long press home->LauncherPro Shortcut I see an empty list, theres no Screen 6 to select (step 4).
I'm using LauncherPro 0.8.2.
Hi Ho!No!
I didn't get it. First of all, where to put the files that is in the zip file? Unziping it, I got a directory named "Ho!No! scrolling theme for milestone" and three directories inside it and some lps files. Where to put this files?
It was a little confuse.

When you select your wallpaper you need to stretch it by pressing on a corner

Unzip everything in the HO!NO! scrolling theme for millestone folder (except the psd file) on the root of your sdcard
Took me a while to figure out...
LPS files need to be stored in your SD card, either in the root of the card, or inside the folders “download”, “downloads” or “lpshortcuts”. To add an LP Shortcut to a homescreen, long-press on a blank spot, choose “Shortcuts” and then “LauncherPro Shortcuts”. If you have any LPS files in the previously mentioned folders in your SD card, they should show up on the list. You can click on “Create New” to go to the web-based LauncherPro Shortcut Creator tool. You can also access the LauncherPro Shortcut Creator tool from your computer, and then put the generated LPS file in your SD card.
Once you do that, continue on with step 4.
Awesome job HO!NO!
Just one question tho, the lock screen shows the very first screen with all the icons of the background (settings, news, etc), I noticed in your video that you just have a plain background, how did you change the lock screen background? with lockbot?
Thanks

First thank you
For lock screen i use WidgetLocker, very nice app.
I made a launcherpro-backup of the settings described by ho!no! and uploaded it together with his files. i think this way its much easier now
1) unpack Zip to the root-directory of your microsd.
2) click menu > preferences > "restore backup"
3) set wallpaper*
4) done!
* i didnt use "Wallpaper Set and Save"-App for that. i made it this way:
- go to gallery > search for folder "Wallpaper" (8 files)
- mark one of the files you wish to set as wallpaper click menu/more > set as > wallpaper
- mark the hole left area of the picture, so that the font on the left is marked and click ok.
looks great.
Confusing at first but epic once finished. One more question, what are the Widgets usedfor the clock and weather for the first screenshot? Also what is the first widget for the second screenshot? The one with all the apps? Please reply soon, and thisbis a great theme. Thanks

OK. I finally managed to configure the whole thing and put the whole wallpaper in the background (thanks for that HO!NO!) but when I try to change the LauncherPro Shortcut to blank.png and it gives me an error saying: "an error was encountered while trying to open the selected image". What could it be now?? I'm able to add the shortcut with the default icon and it does work when I click on it, but I need it to be blank of course.

I had this error too, but I figured out that in my MAC it was saying that it has 4 kb, but in my milestone it was 33 kb.
I have just copy it over and it worked again.

Although it had the same size in my pc and in the sdcard, I copied the file over again and it worked! Thanks for all the help guys!
Just a thought, wouldn't it be better if instead of having the left menu in the background and adding blank icons to the lpshortcuts to have icons as the names so you can choose whatever names you want for the sessions and also freely select the background?
I would do it myself but I'm completely clueless when it comes to image handling... what do you guys think?

@afadel;
I have made some changes on the psd file such as put the names in Portuguese and other changes to play nice on my Milestone.
If you don't have the Photoshop, you can use The Gimp (www.gimp.org) to work with the psd file and you can change anything that you need.
As Ho!No! said, show us your creativity.

(Seeing as there's no General Thread for tablets, I've re posted this here.)
Hey guys I finally ported my "hubs" set up to Android Tablets and I have to say its 10x smoother on our 1.0 ghz dual core device. The general idea of "Hubs" is to create a dedicated screen for each piece of media/productivity while providing a visual eye candy. "Hubs" is easy to emulate, and even easier to create your own style. Despite the lengthy tutorial, its actually easier than it seems. The fun part comes with setting up you layout!
What you'll need:
Main
Adw Launcer EX
Launcher Pro Plus
Multi Live Wallpaper
Minimalistic Text
Simple Text
Optional
Pulse (for widgets)
Cowon Clock/ BobClock Widget
Mizuu Movies
Launcher Pro Plus (Widgets)

WALKTHROUGH​ADW Launcher Users[/U][/B]
-To remove top bar-Press and hold and empty area on your home screen then click on "Launcher Actions" > "Hide/Show Action Bars"
-Enable Widget Overlapping-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Check "Overlap Widgets" in the Advanced Settings Tab
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Increase the desktop "Rows" and "Columns" in the "Desktop Layout" Tab.
Launcher Pro Plus Users- while not optimized for 3.2, it still runs perfect.
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "Preference" > "Homescreen Settings" > Increase the "Number of columns/rows" in the Homescreen Grid.
-Remove Icons From Right Dock- Hold your finger on the icon you wish to remove> "change shortcut"> "Blank"
*You may add screen transitions for each launcher if you wish, however my advise is to leave it at default as you can set transition for Multi Live wallpaper. Doing both launcher and MLW will make your screen look "too busy" IMO.
To set the "Bars" (Titles for "Home", "Music", "Movies" etc.)
Minimalistic Text
-To set title- Press and hold a free space on the screen > "widgets" > "Minimalistic Text" (size may vary per style however I use either 4x2 or 6x1 as long as its horizontal > ensure that "background color" is checked > "Predefined Layout" > "Custom" > "Custom Layout" > Click on the plus sign > "Misc" > "Static Text".
-Black Bar Tutorial click here
Wallpapers
-Set up - Load up your wallpapers on your sd card/internal memory and placing them into seperate folders and name them based on the images (ex. Music, Movies, Games etc)
- Long press an empty screen on your homescreen > "Wallpapers" > "Live Wallpapers"> "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"> "Settings"
- For each "Screen _ Settings" Select the picture source as "Picture Folder" and navigate it to point to your corresponding homescreen.
- Additionally you make select the screen transition here that reflects your particular taste. You may also set a default wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Despite the dozen of widget on the homescreen and live wallpaper, battery use is minimal.I have provided wallpapers below to help you get started.
NAVIGATING BETWEEN HUBS​
There are two methods in which you can navigate to each individual homescreen.
Method one: Prior/Alternate way for navigation text was achieved using this methodby trekkie0927. Using invisible icons in tandem with minimalistic text can make it easier to flip to each hubs. Please rate/comment his video.
Method two: I found a great alternative to Minimalistic Text in terms of using the text buttons to jump from one screen to another called Simple Text. Since it's only an icon and not a widget, it consumes no memory and provides a great minimal look.
User AcIdC0R3 has posted a great tutorial. (Please thank him!)​
Make sure you have ADWLauncher EX
Go to the market and install Simple Text
Long press on the screen and select 'Custom Shortcut'
'Pick your activity', select 'Launcher Actions'
Choose which screen you want, 1 - 5 or 1 - 7 if your using seven screens
Click on the picture of the 2 screens side by side
Select 'ADWTheme IconPacks' and select 'Simple Text'
Select the grey box named 'Simple'
replace the word 'Simple' with whatever of your choosing like 'Video' for your video hub or 'Social' for your social media hub and so forth
Adjust your text size, Y and X coordinates, your shadow settings etc.
Click the little blue 'A' in the top right side of the screen and select your font (more on fonts further down)
You also have the option to select the color wheel next to the 'A' and adjust your text color
Select the menu icon on the task bar at the bottom and select 'Save Style' if you want to keep what you created for later use as well.
Click 'Save Icon' which will create your icon for you
Back at the black edit screen remove the text from the text field and click OK
You should now have a custom text icon that will activate whichever screen you chose for it. You can click any app icon on your screen and follow the same procedure for your apps so all your apps also have text icons.
[FONTS] In a file manager go to /sdcard/Simple Text/ and create a folder named 'fonts' (that is plural with an 's' at the end). Next go to somewhere like dafont.com and download you some kewl fonts and place them within that 'fonts' directory you just created. Now when you go into Simple Text to do your editing you will have more fonts to choose from.
That's all there is to it.
You can also work with layers within the creation of your Simple Text. Notice below where I created a new layer, rotated my new text layer and intersected where both words have the letter 'E'.
However you may notice that simple text does have it's limitations:
Icons can only be 1x1
Works best on adw
No way to resize; it is only an icon after all.
Miscellaneous
​ISSUE: You may experience widget being placed "behind" the black bars. If so try this method provided by user SwiftLegend
1. Put the widgets/icons you want on TOP of the blackbar FIRST. You need these before anything.
2. Select a Minimalistic Text Widget, I usually use 1x1. Clear out the text options (Predefined layout > Custom, delete all of the things there)
3. Once you're back at your homescreen and see the MT Widget, just long press and re size it to your liking.
You HAVE to make sure that whatever you want on TOP of the blackbar is put on the screen FIRST. Anything put on after will go underneath.
ISSUE 2: Users have reported that Minimalistic Widget refuses to post/ show up on the homescreen.
1. Turn your tablet into portrait mode.
2. Add the widget whilst staying in portrait mode as you apply you designs.
3. Rotate back to landscape.
ISSUE 3: You can no longer take full advantage of the screen real estate using adw ex (particularly the corners)
1. Recent update kills the use of every inch of the screen. In his attempt to emulate ICS, anderwebs made the edges of the screen inaccessible.
2. Revert back to an older version (1.3.3)
here's the original layout from the nook color if you guys are interested on putting this on your homescreen HERE
and here it is in action HEREhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8DxCVzARfE&fmt=38

You mean adwex? No, not permanently. It's a probably the way the launcher was designed. Hopefully adw updates and adds an option to turn it off completely.

Got everything done except for the title bars. I couldn't seem to find anywhere to insert text using MT
When I saw it first time I didn't like it but when I made my own I love it.
I want to share my idea how to make titles made by using Minimalistic Text (like a "Games", "Home", "Music") clickable (when you click on "Games" title it will bring you to "Games" launcher page page).
My English isn't good so I'll try to explain everything with pictures.
Let's say you have homescreen like that :
and you want to add "Music" title wchich will bring you to "Music" Hub :
Now what you have to do:
1. Prepare minimalistic text widget :
-add Minimalistic Text widget with size you want
-no you should see options windows like this one :
Go to "Predefined Layout" and select "custom"
- now click "Custom layout" under "Predefined Layout" and you will see this:
delete these three grey boxes by dragging them down to trash
-click on the "plus" icon on the right side, you'll see this:
-select "additional" ("Dodatkowe" on my screen)and then drag "static text" up to this place where were those grey boxes before.
- You should have this now:
-Click on the grey box and you'll see edit options like this one :
I'll type "MUSIC" in "static text" and press back button or select style which you want
-enable option "no action on the touch"
- Now you can finish or digg in the settings. When you finish press back button to go back to the homescreen
Now the best part
put and hold your finger on free space on your homescreen
-select "launcher actions"
-scroll down the list until you see "screen 1/2/3/4/..."and select the one that suits to the number of homescreen with "MUSIC" Hub (I'll select "screen 4")(make them two if you are using 2x1 widget or other number depending on the size of the widget)
-You should have this now :
-long press on the "screen 4" icon and select "edit", you'll see this:
-Delete name of the icon, press on the picture of the icon, select "select picture" and then select "ADW dock catalog". Select anyone of docks and the icon will disappear.
-Click OK and make the same thing with other icons - they are now invisible.
- put them in the place where you want to have title of the hub
- put MT (minimalistic text) widget under/above/next to arranged icons
- long press on MT widget and select "edit". You should hae this now:
- resize the widget to cover invisible icons like this :
- resize it again to fill it correctly like this:
- press "back" button - you have now clickable title for Hub
Sorry for my terrific English - I hope you understand what I wrote
Awesome, that great. I'll def add it to my tutorial

[OFFICIAL] [THEME] [WIDGET] Zooper Widget Screens and Themes

Hi All,
I just realized that there is no official thread on XDA where users can share ZW home screens, themes and ideas, so I'm creating one. If you do not know it yet, well, Zooper Widget is a minimal, classy, extremely customizable and battery friendly "do it yourself" Home Screen Widget with almost limitless possibilities.
More info
HOMEPAGE: http://zooper.org/wp/android/zw
MARKET (FREE): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.zwfree
MARKET (PRO): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.zwpro
ICONSETS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084070
APK SUPPORT: http://goo.gl/mo0Gi
G+GALLERY: http://goo.gl/239Bs
Main features
WYSISYG Widget editor with unlimited Text, Series, Progress Bars, Iconsets, Bitmaps and Shapes. Every aspect is customizable, you can use tons of variables with any kind of data or modify them using conditionals, date calculations, math expressions, bb code like syntax, text filters and more (more info, examples and variable reference on the website).
Free/Pro
Free version on the market is full featured, you can create the same layouts as the Pro, the only difference is that Free does not allow you to save and load external templates, it-s ad based, and has no "hotspot" functionality. Developing software and fixing bugs takes a huge amount of time that's why i needed to split it in two releases, hope you'll understand.
How to share screens and templates
When you save your template Zooper Widget (PRO) stores two files in the SD card, under "ZooperWidget" folder, one is a PNG with a screenshot of your awesome creation (so you can easily post it to the forum) the other one is a ".zw" file containing the template itself. The ".zw" is a zip archive with all the data in it, so if you used Bitmaps, external Fonts, Iconsets or any other resource you won't need to distribute them, those items will be part of the ".zw" template and will be extracted automatically. To load the template on another device you just need to place it in the ZooperWidget SD card folder and load it.
APK skins
Zooper Widget PRO from 2.38 supports APK skin packs, you can store as many templates as you want in a single APK distributable on the market, you can even include templates on existing APK if you want (so you can distribute an Icon Pack for ADW with some ZW template in a single shot), more info here http://goo.gl/mo0Gi
Resizing
Zooper Widget supports automatic resize on load if the template is larger than the target widget, otherwise original size will be kept, you can tune the size using the "Scale" option. Please note that, compared to other similar widgets, ZW does not just scale the output Bitmap, but the source Canvas resulting in a much more clean / smooth image.
What's next?
Zooper Widget is always a work in progress, i just released Bitmap support and I'm now working on really exciting features requested by users (and yes, if you have any idea just ask!). Most important upcoming stuff is:
Ability to group or tag layers and move / edit them at once (but remember you can already use the copy/paste functionality to copy one property to multiple items at once)
Widget wide Parameters (to allow better APK support, if you want to lock everything and use custom settings)
More
Want to join the beta program? Check out this G+ community: http://goo.gl/DXoig
zooper widget is awesome, i have been following the official forum. Hope xda members start to show their creativity with this app.
btw you should post some images to show what its possible to do with this widget!
Here's a couple I made today playing with this. I'm a noob to Zooper Widget but it's pretty cool so far.

Credit for iconsets and config file I started with goes to stepdragon in the zooper Thread
What I would really like to do with the status bar is have the WiFi icon appear where the Signal bars are when WiFi is active. For instance if I am at home and have data disabled and wifi enabled, the icons would switch from signal bars to wifi bars. I have no programming skills so if it is possible to make that work in the config file hopefully someone will tweak and share.
The only way I could think of making it work would be having a variable that was checking data connection state and displaying a blank icon if data was disabled.
The WiFi icon disappears when wifi is off and the Alarm icon disappears when alarm is off.

Just playing around with the new update , I did post this in the other thread but I thought I would contribute to this thread now.
Yippee! Awesome to see this thread! Here is my latest home screen done with Zooper. Enjoy!

You can do this, you need to create a custom iconset that checks if WiFi is connected and if connected will show the Wifi bars otherwise i will show the signal ones (same for the Alarm). Please check the config.xml syntax here: http://zooper.org/wp/android/zw/iconsets you can start using the ones you are already using.
WARNING when you use signal info in zooper widget the widgets are updated every time the signal changes, this might use a lot of cpu when screen is on if your signal keeps changing especially if you have a lot of widgets on screen, im working on a solution
P.S. really good home screen! awesome work!
Busy Body Zooper
This has been one of my favorite themes from UCCW thread. Originally created by John Nada, all credit for theme/layout goes to him. I just changed some things and made it available for Zooper Widget.
All widgets are 5x1. I am using this on my Galazy Note II. Not sure how Zooper handles different screen sizes / Grid sizes of different launchers so hope it works for everyone else. Feedly widget is 4x2 stretched to fit in the middle. Use the wallpaper included in the zip to get the frame that appears around the feedly widget.
Each icon on the widgets are shortcuts to an app. You might have to change the app shortcut for whatever you want.

Hey there,
first of all I´d like to say that Zooper is simply the best widget for like... almost everything!
I never ever even think of uccw anymore...
just had to say this
So about the screen:
I really like Googles new outfit, so I had to make one...

Have fun!
my zooper homescreen
Here's my homescreen powered by zooper (work in progress)
(Lots off hotspots)
earth - free space on sd and usb (blue bars)
moon - free ram (bar around the moon, set to 120 mb free max)
sun - battery temp (red, max = 60 degrees C, green = charge %
Image Fonts
Is it possible to use images as font for Clock Widgets? As in have 10 images 0-1 to use as the clock digits.
Also, what about RSS feeds?
just basics template
Hi,
This is my first attempt at a template. It a 4x1 for the Nexus 4 lock screen.
you will need to rename the file from zip to zw since xda-developers wont allow native zooper template uploads.
I'd like to know what you think but be nice its my first try.

Hello Guys,
I need some help with my template (post #10). I like the planets but the squares with info on them have to be more sci-fi like. More HUD-like.
Any suggestions?
:laugh:
I really like this widget compared to others (UCCW was way too complex for me). Zooper is the right balance.
I'm trying out a homescreen and its started to look good. I am using Apex launcher (and set both margins to zero).
However, there still seems to be some vertical spacing in some widgets i.e. they are not edge to edge.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rto9ps1m6oqkxb2/Screenshot_2013-05-17-13-52-47.png
For e.g. the two widgets in the centre should have their edges meeting?
Another question I have is about Cell Signal Strength in ASU. While the range is 0 to 31, I never really go above 17 or 18, and the notification bar shows a different level (for e.g. here you can see the cell strength has 3 bars, but in my yellow progressbar I am less than 50%).
Anyway, thanks to the dev, this is really awesome.

For the edges i can-t really help much as this looks a lot like a launcher problem, i will try to reproduce it and let you know. For the signal that-s quite a complex issue since i do not really know if the notification bar one is really API based or uses some native/hardware trick. I will check that as well.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!

For clock (digital) widgets you can use images by creating an iconset, is very easy, i can write an example if you want.
For RSS feeds, well, the "web" module is on my todo list since a while, i definitely need to work on it (with RSS and simple html support).

You dont really have to check. I was just wondering if anyone already knew.
Thanks
Oh my, this is really inspirational! Been using Zooper for some time now and this is what i've managed to create so far :laugh::

I would appreciate if you could write an example. As for RSS, that sounds awesome. Cant wait.

I'm using Apex as well and ran into the same "problem"
Seems to be an Apex Problem....
Got the same issue with ASU values. But this seems to be a problem with different network types. Just google ASU and you will find a lot of information about it. Not a Zooper Problem, so I work around that problem by setting the max value (progress bar) to 18. works lke a charm...
