"glass ball" icons?

Hi,, i am just wondering if its possible to completly change the app/icon pictures to something totaly differnt?
i have just rooted and flashed my phone with the leedroid rom.. and then a nice espresso mod style theme.. but it doesent change any icons as such...
I was wondering if its possible to get something like these shown on this thread in the HD2 forums... and if so is it a hard process to do?

cheers

You can use "FolderOrganizer Lite" to change the icons.

Thanks.. Does that come with any icon sets? Or if not what's the procedure for importing icons
.
Thanks for the advice .. )

I would suggest DesktopVirtualizer, it's much more user friendly and does the same job. You just add a widget called "desktopvirtualizer (SS)" and it let's you choose the application and the icon you want for it + custom text with custom color and background. I think either applications don't have any icon packs included.

do any of these automaticly change all my icons to a specific type in 1 click? ? or do i have to manualy select and change each and every icon ?

[Q] [SENCE THEME] White Sense theme

I look for sense theme which will change not only status bar's color but also all other colors(such as bottom bar and settings) into WHITE(as opendesire mode).

OpenDesire isn't a Sense ROM. So I don't know where you're going with this one..
There are some themes here and there - But I guess the Sense HD ROM is the way to go if you want to theme everything.

Yes, but I want my Sense UI to look like OpenDesire(colors are white) and i also seen some themes for sense ui with white bars but they were wrong for me(I installed them and cant load) Can anybody advise suitable theme?

can't you change the statusbar in framework-res.apk? or in htc.resources.apk?

May be I can but I dont know how)
And will it also change bottom bar?

I have found Expresso-Theme for Sense but it's black too. Is there any white theme???

In the Kitchen theme here in this forum, you can customise almost evrything like %batery, icons, notification bar colors and type, etc, etc.

May be we are talking about different kitchens but i used one and recived white fantastic top bar and black bottm bar. it was awful
So your is different can you give me a link

The link is :h**p://circle.glx.nl/
In this new version you can customise the top and de bottom bar in the cianogen style.
Try and see for yourself
And sorry for my bad english...

I can't found((( Do you get clear that bottom bar is bar where buttons "Phone" "Open Menu" and "Add" located? If yes can you describe way to change it more detale?

Sorry, my mistake
I was talking about the pull down bar.

Use UOT Kitchen to bake a new Framework to flash and just follow instructions. Should be easy. and you can mod anything you want.
Hope this helps alot!

What instructions should I follow)? I noobish, sorry

The easyest way is to use Desktop VisualizeR. Install, than go to Add a Widget, Use the Size u wanne have, than u can get any app u want and any icon u wanna use.

Yip, thnaks for the hint, easy as cake =)

Folder Organizer and Desktop Visualizer where also suggested to me when I asked.
Although I don't use any of them. It would still be nice if there was a way to natively set custom icons.
I do use Circle Launcher and that lets me set a custom icon for the each widget and I have multiple instances of the widget (each with various shortcuts inside) so on that level it sates my need for custom icons.

Changing the text color of the top right + home button

I really don't know the terminology, as I'm new to Android, but I'd like to change the color from light blue to a green at the top right (where it shows the battery, wifi etc.), how can I go about doing that? (I'm rooted)
Also, the center button at the very bottom of the phone, that brings you to the apps (circle with dots inside), how can I change that icon? I have Nova + MIUI icons, but I didn't see it in there.
Any help is appreciated!

I was able to change the launcher icon (Nova had this built in, just touched and held the icon to change it to whatever I wanted).
Still trying to figure out how to change the status bar icon colors.

Those colors are baked into framework-res.apk. What you need is either a ROM that supports themes or an themed ROM. Alternatively you could try the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen, but I'm not sure if it supports 4.2.

Actually just tried editing one of those files and putting them back on (systemUI.apk). It crashed, then when it rebooted it worked (image changed).

Lockscreen icons

Is there any chance to change lockscreen icons look?
As I see icons are always default one from theme which is used. If I change app icon in drawer or on home screen, icon for that(same) app is still default on lockscreen.
Is it somehow possible to set your own icons? Maybe with root? But still don't know how ...

Root, Xposed (not sure about lg compatibility though?) or maybe via Substratum.
There are a few options available I guess

Thanks for advice. Xposed, good option.
But, yeah, I'm guessing too, because there's not much about that (connected with G6) on google.

If the icons were themed then they should stay themed on the lock screen? If you dont mind, which theme are you using? maybe there is another resolution of icon that needs to be added for this to be shown.
And which icons are they??
What launcher are you using??
I can say that i have found on my themes that even though i themed my icons, that when i press the home screen to change wallpapers that the original gallery icon shows up. So i may need to add different sizes and get those the right size.

Yup, I saw that theme also changes icons. I know that. You can also DL icon packages (MIUI) which also change icons, but they're not quit the same as original icon form package ...
The only problem is, that there's hard to found theme with all the icons. For example, non of original LG theme don't have exDialer icon.
So, a little playing with themes help somehow.

No sadly we cant theme non system applications with this theme engine. And what can do is still limited. We cant touch everything.
So yea you will need to find an icon pack that works. Sorry
