[Icons] A new set of default Android icons

[mannyb]

I was bored, so I made this Android icon pack (48x48 PNG) which I call "blackplate". Maybe they'll come in handy for someone, sometime. I think I included most of the default Android icons, but feel free to suggest more and I'll try to add them.

Ummmm
How do you/can you replace just the icons? If at all possible.
Do you have a copy of the very original G1 icons?

[brandenk]

Sweet, I will make a build tonight of Kspec Karbon with these icons. :D

As I understand it you'll have to replace the icon png within each and every apk file, resign and update. I might be wrong though.

you're correct.

I actually had your Kspec Theme in mind when I made them. I wanted something dark, stylish and edgy, and your theme fits perfectly. :D

[mannyb]

I just noticed I missed the Browser icon. I will fix that tomorrow.

Keep your suggestions coming, by all means.

[brandenk]

So do I have permission to officially use your icons in my theme for version 1.0? I think my icons are the only real thing holding my theme back.

Definitely, I would be honored if you used them.

[brandenk]

Building in ADP1 now so I can test it.

[brandenk]

So what should we call our new hybrid theme? :)

Im liking where this is going.

[brandenk]

All the icons are included so far, and I tried the status bar but its hard to see the black font on it so I changed back to my Carbon Fiber look.

Good question, I'll have to think about that.

I think it will turn out great with a bit of tweaking!

Ah, true, didn't think about the font thing. I'll get on it tonight, maybe a bit of tweaking will sort it out.

Ok so I tweaked it a bit right away.

Or this one, let's break all that gray up a tad.

I'm working on a new icon set, which I think will fit the above wallpaper perfectly. I wasn't happy with the old icon set, because the icons appear crooked, like they're leaning slightly to the left. Can't explain it better than that.

Anyways, here's my new icon idea. (Only two icons so far.)

So I just made my first theme. I based parts of it on brandenk'2 brilliant Kspec theme, but changed things to make it more "me".

I'm also, as mentioned, working on a new set of icons, which will make the theme look like this:

I'm still trying to find the program tab png so I can edit it, but I can't find it. Where is the damn thing located? Halp, anyone?

I will definitely create a new thread if I ever release the theme. :D

Thanks! I'm effing blind, it seems. I was just mucking about in Launcher.apk a few hours ago and I could not find it.

Updated screenshot; icons added, wallpaper tweaked and tab made invisible (until you press it).

Oh yeah, i love the colored icons also....breaks color :)

Can you get the "rotating browser" icon as well?

[mannyb]

I will add a few more icons later on tonight or tomorrow, and then, if you like, you could try it out. Though we need to make it RC30 compatible, whatever that means. I'm on an ADP1, so supposedly this theme won't work for you straight out of the box?

[Mikey]

We can find SOMEONE NICE out there to help. Cause no we cant use it on 30:(
