[Official] [Theme] [Widget] Zooper Widget Iconsets

johnuopini · Jan 5, 2013

Zooper Widget from 1.80 supports Bitmap Iconsets and allows you to create your own! What it means? It means that you can create widgets with Bitmaps able to change based on ZW variables such as Battery, Weather, Location or anything else!

Important This thread is for Iconsets only, if you want to share themes and screens please use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277966

So? Well, you can create a widget with the background that changes based on your location like Google Now does, or show a different image during the day and another at night, or use a bitmap when alarm is set and another when there is no alarm, you can create battery widgets, weather or even show bitmaps based on Tasker variables (and LLama soon). You can also mix all this things up in an unique icon pack with user selectable "modes".

Iconsets are basically ZIP files with an XML configuration and Bitmaps or a TTF font. You can distribute Iconsets alone (this is supported in both free and pro) storing them in the "iconsets" directory on the SD card or you can distribute a template using it, iconset will be included automatically during save.

Sample
Attached the weather iconset (from source code) and the battery iconset (from example above).
Below an example with 3 iconsets in use, PNG based weather, battery charging/dischargint (TTF) and alarm on/off (TTF).

A special thanks to Stepdragon for the help debugging this feature!

Feel free to share your own Iconsets below

I will add more iconsets examples in the future, this post will be updated.

Nice, thanks! Maybe you made sense weather icons?

No i didn't, but its quite easy to do if you have the icons, just:
- Download the weather iconset attached to the main post
- Uncompress it, replace the images with the sense icons
- If you want add more conditions if you have icons not currently in use
- Zip it again and place it in the SD card under "Iconsets"

You will then be able to use it in Zooper Widget, just add a "Bitmap Iconset" object and select your new iconset!

First off, thanks to johnuopini for letting me beta / help out with the widget.

Here are a couple of Icon Sets and examples of them in action. The first is a HoloUI / Google Now combination. It contains custom made battery and charging icons as well as Google Now inspired weather icons.

The second is a minimal Wifi Signal strength meter. It defaults to a cell signal icon when wifi is not available, therefore it may not be the best choice for non-cellular devices. Feel free to modify it for your own uses.

I'm working on creating a windows app which will automate the majority of the coding for making the icon sets. I'll be working with johnuopini / frenzy and only post when he's satisfied with it. Everything I do will go through him.

I hope you enjoy my icon sets. Free to use, distribute, and modify, preferably with credit. I'll post more when I have a chance.

Here are a few screenshots of the widget in action
(please note that this is combined with a windows phone style launcher called launcher 8. Every tile other than the two largest, and the tiles which are just a single image, is a seperate zooper widget)

Is the Google Now weather iconset a full set, looks good.

Thanks

Thanks

if there is ever an error in the weather widget it will show an empty battery as the default image if it does let me know what the weather is supposed to be you can find this out the checking the #W_CODE# output using the text module. Let me know what image messes up and I'll loom at the config to verify that there are no typos. This is a complete set based on googles images, I may update it later with new but matching images.

Great work! This is occupying most of my screen space now! One issue though, my battery is at about 87% and its showing time left as ~50m which is wrong because my battery lasts at least 3 hours with heavy use. Other then that it looks fantastic!

Can you post a screenshot?

Regarding the battery strange, are you using the latest version, did you give the widget at least 1/2 days to get a good accuracy on the battery estimation?

Yes its updated and I've been using it for about a day now. No need for new screenshot, its similar to the one in the 1st post. See how it shows your battery at 99% but time remaining is <10m . I think what its doing is showing the time remaining to reach 100% when charging...but when unplugged, I think it should show time remaining before the battery hits 0%. Not really an error or bug, just the way I think it should work. :good:

It-s already like that, if it-s not working as expected and you are using 1.86 (latest release) please send me an email to android@zooper.org i will explain you how to send me debug data.

Ok, i'll send you an email, but would you mind posting a screenshot showing the time remaining when unplugged along with battery %? Right now mine says " Discharging 69% , ~30M LEFT ". even though at 69% my battery will last for a good 3 hours more...

I am trying to use one of the iconsets but they do not come up as one of the options. I created the path /mnt/sdcard/Iconsets and saved the zip files to that location but they do not show up. Only choices I get are what I am assuming are the three default choices.

What am I doing wrong?

I don't know if its required or not, but in "/mnt/sdcard/Iconsets" you have Iconsets capitalized, that MAY cause an issue, but I don't know it it does. The zip files themselves go in that directory, do not extract them. Also Make sure that the Zip was downloaded correctly and contains a config file and a folder structure consistent to what is designated in the config file (usually a single 'icons' folder).

I have tried upper and lower case still no go. The iconset files are downloaded straight from the OP with no mods. They look to have the xml and icon folder as required.

edit: Duh! my fault I was trying to use scalable instead of bitmap, all works fine. I really like this widget good job!

I attached the screenshot...Notice that it shows time left as ~40M, signifying that my battery will only last another 40 minutes, even though I am still at 91% charge. It should be saying at least 2 hours left. Other than that I'm loving the widgets so far!

This is quite strange, please try clearing the cache for the widget, rebooting your phone and give it a full discharge cycle, it should show better data then, if not then send an email to android@zooper.org so we can debug the issue.
