How can I edit the gap between the tiles? Either they overlap each other slightly or the gap is far too big...how can I have just a small gap?
Also, the Metro Clock widget is higher than the other tiles - is there any solution to this?

make sure youve got adw at 8x10 and resize the widgets to the size that i have on the guide
 
ANYONE with problems with installing on nightly, try this:

1. 3 finger wipe (factory data, cache, dalvik)
2. Flash alpha 2 (just alpha 2, NOT your nightly, yet)
3. Flash the metro ui theme included on brobots website
4. Reboot and set up your touchpad
5. Proceed to set up the metro ui theme (to make sure its working)
6. Reboot in CWM and flash the nighlty of your choice, no wipes necessary
7. Reboot and enjoy!

8. (Optional) if your play store and gmail, etc. aren't working then just reflash gapps and you should be fine, also had success with simply clearing cache on play store app

Yeah there's no real point doing this
When you flash the nightly you'll loose the system theme so the buttons at the bottom which is all you get from flashing the flash me zip
If you want just the home screen and Widgets just extract the apps from the zip and install them like normal by just clicking on them

That's what I figured I was just helping anybody out that tried to install the package right over the top of a nightly and got bootloop cause that is what happened to me about ten different ways I tried it, but your way deff is easier!

BTW, brobot, AMAZING work on this theme, really appreciate it! Once I hit my 10 post count to stop being a noob I will slap you some thanks and hopefully some funding

Is there a CM7 version of this?

I'd love to get this with working video chat :)
 
I have 3 TouchPads and this bootloops on all 3 running the 0418 nightly

Did u already have the theme working before you upgraded to nightly 0418?

Mine is still working great after updating, I don't have the actual navigation buttons theme but I still have Widgets and homescreen stuff, which is what brobot said would happen as the them is not based on nightly framework

I agree with orange go back and try it on alpha 2 the. Once u get it working u can install any nightly over the top of it. You will lose the navigation theme but keep all Widgets and home icons/shortcuts

If you're gonna do that, there is no reason to even flash the zip. All you're doing is setting up a launcher, which anyone can do.

Correct assuming everyone knows how to move the files over with the correct file explorer program, I was merely leaving an alternative for those that don't know how.

I believe that having the grid size to maybe 10x12 would give you a better layout but the highest the grid goes is to 10x10. I guess the icons could be altered a bit so you would get a better "piece" together of the tiles. The grid size mod would work better I think. It could probably be made into a flashable zip, or maybe a ninja morph theme?

    If you dont mind some guy on twitter has been chatting to me and helping me port if for a while now so if he wants to manage the thread ill let him
    he can just make another if its too much effort to change admins
    I dont want to me the admin of all these different threads as i do want to do other stuff other than chatting to people on these threads so im letting other people do it :)
    ive got like 5 going atm and its tooo much effort :)

    EDIT: the guys name on this is ace_9988 :)
    and to the person who is having problems with the tiles hasnt read the setup manual
