Aped from a few people in this thread. I haven't really delved into custom icons yet, and I can never really get it to look right when I recolor the notification bar.

Simple but access to all I like. Otherwise, quick access under ADW's second tray.

The saucer people are coming!


A lot of poo poo cribbed from traslin and Prowler here, among others. Took me a week to get it set just the way I wanted :v:

Running Cyanogenmod 6.0.1 on an HTC Desire.

Environment: LauncherPro, obviously. 3 screens, 6 columns by 5 rows with NO auto-fit. This makes it all center nicely and crop out the parts I don't want from some widgets.

Time: Digital Clock Widget with the date text in black so it doesn't show up.

Date: The other Digital Clock Widget with the time font size down to 1px and the date size up to 52.

Weather: Transparent GenieWidget mod

Battery Indicator: BattStat

Toggles: Cyanogenmod Power Control (default)

Launcher Icons: 3 docks' worth of icons, one each shown on each screen. From right to left:
Wordfeud, Maps, Wifi Settings, Manage Applications; Phone, Browser, Messaging, Mail; Facebook, Buzz, AppBrain, Gtasks. All the icons are from bit.ly/lpicons

Statusbar: Cyanogenmod built-in settings, plus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772842 for the icons

Transparent LauncherPro Widgets: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783427

Badass custom font that gets applied to everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744363 - I'm currently using Futura and Futura Bold.

Wallpaper: Came with the ROM in one of the wallpaper folders, but it is online here

And there we have it, folks.


:siren: IMPORTANT CRITICAL UPDATE! "Wednesday" is a long words so it cuts off the numerical date in the widget. Solution: Have it abbreviate the word. Stupid Wednesday :saddowns:

Do you have to reboot the system to get the recolor to take effect? That's the most frustrating part. Droids are not known for their quick boot time.

Hey guys. I know we have an Android wallpaper thread, but it's fairly dead and this is relevant.

I'm planning on putting these into some sort of gallery--I'll use WordPress and a plugin if one exists--but linked below are a bunch of wallpapers I've used in the past since getting my Droid that, for the most part, are minimalist. The vast majority were obtained through Flickie and Zedge, but some I cropped from other sources.

http://android.carchive.net/wallpaper/

It's an ugly directory listing for now.

Awesome thank you. Were you able to extract the wallpaper from the Paperless theme in the adw launcher or do you have that installed and then choose it from the paperless wall papers?

Crap never mind I see it in that zip folder. Thank god I can get rid of adw launcher now.

Clock/weather is Beautiful Widgets, Switchpro and Battstatt widgets at the bottom, Launcher Pro, and a desktop from that directory posted a page or two ago.

I've got a handful of other, ugly homescreens. One for music, one for calendar, one for the LauncherPro Facebook widget, and one for contacts/internet bookmarks.

I'll be working on them next.

How are you guys getting those icons on LauncherPro? When I got to change the icon from the stock clear/frosted ones, I only have two options, LauncherPro icons or Custom icons.

Those look like the factory browser and other icons, how did you do that? Do I have to download a custom icon pack to get the stock icons to work in LauncherPro?

To get stock icons? There are definitely 3 choices, Default, LauncherPro and Custom.

I long press the icon, and I get the option to Change Icon. I select that, and I only have two options, LauncherPro Icons and Custom Icons. I just did it, there is no Default option.

I have the paid version of LauncherPro, and an un-rooted running the 2.2 Froyo OTA update on a Droid x. Definitely not seeing that option at all.

Tried this, no dice, uses the defualt LauncherPro icons. So I'm guessing the above was done using ADW and there is no way to add factory icons to the LauncherPro dock icons. Wonder if I can find them to download somewhere and use them as Custom Icons that way?

It works perfectly fine on LauncherPro. I literally just did it. Change shortcut, Applications, <select here>, Default Icon. It doesn't use the LP icon, it uses whatever it shows up as in your app drawer. Your phone is screwed up if it's not using the stock Android icons.

My LP+ has 3 icon options.. one being default. reinstall/update maybe? If I remember correctly though, default was always an option. I seem to think the custom option was added later. Sounds like your install is borked.

No, it's fine. He's trying to change an existing icon instead of adding a new one. If you hit "Change Icon" on an existing shortcut you're only provided with LP icons and Custom. He has to choose Change Application, change it then he'll have the 3 choices for Default, LP and Custom.

If anyone has an easy way to get rid of the faint lines between the power widget controls that would be super cool.
