hey, im trying to make icons to make the theme i recently downloaded.
i cant get the icons to not look blurry and small.
i start with 1" x 1" and 300 res and save them as .png with NON-interlaced.
when i change the icon with launcher pro plus the icon looks like garbage.
hoping someone could help me out with this, thanks!
Added picture of icon
Text icons like that I have seen at 82x72px. And yours is 300x300px and being squeezed down will make it blurry.
good day.
72x72 is the standard resolution for LauncherPro text icons. I've made them at 128x128 for ones I wanted to use on the screen, but you can see the difference when you squeeze them down for LauncherPro.

Hi there,
Just put the excellent phone dialer from Vijay555 on my i Launcher (on a K jam), which works just fine - but being a computer duffer I can't work out how to change the phone dial icon to mini - pictures of my family who I'm calling - even though they have been successfully pinned to their slots in Contacts - (they live in My Pictures).
I guess I should shrink them down to icon size - but how do you do that??? !!! aagghhh!!
Can you help??
Thanks!
You'll need a photoshop type program and shrin your icons down then save them as TGA files. Theres instructions on sbsh.nets forums for creating your own icons as well.
I've posted about this here and there - I use claunch as my launcher, but the photoshopping is the same either way.
Find a nice portrait photo, use the crop tool and crop in as close as you can around the face/boobs etc, and make it squarish.
Crop that.
Then resize your nice square crop to 32x32 pixels. That's very small, so there'll be hardly any detail, but it should do the job.

Brilliant - I'm very grateful
Thanks so much - even a knuckle head like me managed to do it - I'm very grateful!
Hello,
Can anyone please tell me how to change the program icon size from the launcher tab (not the background squares, but the actual icon)?
I hate some of the stock icons for my programs / scripts, so I replaced them with different icons using the registry, but for some reason it shrinks them down to something like 32x32 or 64x64, the default size everyone has. My plan is to get rid of the background box altogether and go with like a 128x128 icon if possible.
I am not sure if there is a registry setting I am missing or if you have to hex edit a manilla file. I am open to either.
Thanks,
Josh
Not possible...
I may be wrong, because whenever anyone is explaining why something can't be done, they're usually interupted by the person doing it! I think you'll find the image size is hard-coded into Manila. Whatever size you make the image file, it will always be stretched to 'fill' the picture box on the launcher tab
I know this is not something we can do, but hoping a dev will see this and answer, but now that we can change the size of the screen from 240 to 220 or 180, thats great, but can the preset size of the space it keeps be changed to? For example:
You have 4 icons or more, if you press and hold to move the icons there is a size box in green/yellow border that as you move the icon moves, but now the box is bigger then the icon, if we could make it smaller, then we would be able to put more icons on the screen.
Anyone else feel the same way?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
not sure if this is exactly what you want, but launcher pro allows you to change how many icons you can fit horizontally or vertically
also take a look at Multi icon widget:

Actually yes thats what I was talking about, but can it be done without the need of a 3rd party app? And thanks for pointing me to this app.
this mod would be awesome for htc sense. it's one reason why i changed from sense to gingerbread (with go launcher)...
Is it possible to make the Icons bigger on the Home- and Menu-Screen.
The Icons are for human with handicap too small :-(

On the Home Screen you can use DesktopVisualizeR to add icons as big as you want (actually they are widgets, but works the same as icons). You can find it on Market.
Thanks, this was what i want
I use Go Launcher and it's got a setting that lets you custom resize all icons (and text size). Change the setting once and it automatically resizes all icons, including ones you add or move. You can make the icons very large, if that's your desire. Now if only I could get MARKET to work smoothly!
I'm currently working on an icon pack for Nova Launcher, but it seems that the icon size is a fair amount smaller than normal icons. Is there any way I can make these icons a bit bigger? By the way, they were added via "Add Image Asset" in Android Studio. Thanks! :laugh:
