For some reason when creating a widget it gives me only 1x1 and 2x1 options. Also, when choosing 2x1 and having the fill tile option checked the widget still does not fill the whole box (Desktop Visualizer).
This is what I am talking about:

As you can see the game icon/widget does not fill the whole tile. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Thanks!

Can someone post up a Dungeon Defenders icon? I think I've seen one but can't seem to find it now.

And can someone post up a Games wall?

And does anyone have an opinion on which calendar works best for this launcher? I've tried a couple and can't get them to show more than 1 upcoming date.

Thanks in advance.

Could you share the tiles/images that you used in the zune part?
shure!!

i made those tiles for desktop visualizer in adw launcher ex with 6 rows and 5 colums setting. And remember is a low-res cellphone so i dont need to put hi-res images. And the big tile is actually a kinda live tile cuz it change art when album change i made it with the musicpro widget and size it until i see only the album art.

im telling you this cuz if your device doesnt have the same screen size as mine the tiles wont fit proportionally.

Thanks for posting them.
I will to redo them in higher resolution because my blade has a wvga screen and it's easier with the images than with the screenshot. :)

As for the album art i tried it as you sad but it when it's small enough to hide the controls the image gets cropped too. Guess it's because of the different resolutions. :( I will keep trying though.

for the album art enable the auto stretch option (adw launcher ex) and try to play with your rows and columns and see what happen.

I'm also having trouble getting desktop visualizer to fill out the box completely. When I "add widget" desktop visualizer, only 3x3 or 4x4 fills out the entire tile. But then it stretches whatever image I put, so it doesn't look right.

I've worked around this problem by taking my standard 2x1 .png file (358x173) and stretching its dimensions to 323x397 (90% of original horizontal, 230% of original vertical), and then it gets stretched back into the proper shape, but the resolution isn't great and there's still a 1-pixel border around the widget. I still can't get 1x1 to stretch even close to the edges of the tile.

Any advice would be fantastic, thanks! Or, for those of you that were able to get desktop visualizer tiles to go to the edges, if you could tell me how you did it, that'd be great! You all seem to have done it flawlessly.

One more question: What unlock method are you using? Is it invisible or was it just to show off the lockscreen itself?

I'm also using a different launcher for my games hub. problem is, when I open it, I can't go back to launcher 7 by pressing the back button. Is there a workaround for that?

    If anyone is interested with this lockscreen. Attached here are the icons and themes.

    snap20110320091253.jpg


    You need the following apps.
    >> Widgetlocker
    >> Minimalistic Text
    >> SMS Unread Count

    Widgetlocker setting:
    Main grid is 5x4 and Anchor is 1x4.
    Just install Winmod2.wltheme.zip for the slider

    Minimalistic text:
    For the clock and date, copy the file lockscreen.mtpref into /sdcard/MinimalisticTextPreferences

    Then just restore it in Minimalistic text, when you add a widget sized 4x2.

    SMS Unread Count:
    The icons are attached here for the phone and mail.

    Launcher 7 Icons in progress

    Here is an icon set that I am working on specifically for Launcher 7. There aren't many resources for people that want to customize their L7 start screens, and I've been wanting to do one for myself for a while. Regrettably, it is a work in progress, so not comfortable sharing the set or files yet...have a lot of work to do before I'm satisfied, but would love to hear any feedback you have.

    H7 is a "mash-up" of two visual concepts; the first coming straight from the Metro design language of Windows Phone 7/8(www.microsoft.com/design/toolbox). "Typography is beautiful" and is the major, sometimes only component of the Metro UI. The second inspiration is the font Helvetica and the posters, covers and pop art produced in the 1960's when Helvetica stormed the design scene, many of which consisted of nothing but typography. The result is a set of icons built for Launcher 7 using the color schemes and word play from the 1960's posters and like Metro, uses only the typography to illustrate the app and functions. It's simple, minimal and has a touch of humor.

    I'm curious to hear what the other users of Launcher 7 and lovers of Metro have to say.
