As i am abit bored about my phones layout i made this "preview" of icons which i could make. Just want to get feedback for now, made a preview so you can see how it would look like. I will also write a short guide on how to get this done with ADW launcher and Desktop visualizer (both free apps on market)

here is the preview:


Hoping for some feedback till tomorrow so i can see if start working on this or not ;)

cheers

Just came out of the win7 style phase, but i would probably jump straight back in with your tiles! Very nice indeed

I started working on a complete wp7 theme with themed ADW launcher aswell. I will theme the notification bar also but this needs to be done for each phone and firmware separately so i wont be able to share it.

Nice one! Couldn't you do it like the zune launcher and have the tiles scroll down the homescreen. That would be cool but i just realized it wouldn't be possible as an adw theme

Never tryid it, i will take a look when i get home and perhaps swich to it :) Can you resize widgets in it? Or set rows? If this is not possible than the launcher can not work

doesnt this work with launcher pro? looks quite good, better than the common windows mobile style

hm i dont know, i couldn't find a way to fit 2 2x2 icons + an aditional icon. I know it has a 5 row option but it doesn't work. In adw i got this with a 6 row setup, but i played for like 1 min not more. The image is made in photoshop so it's not an actual layout... It can be done tho :)

Your layout is possible. below is a shot of my homescreen.
Im using launcher pro, desktop visualizer, and tiles that are 250px by 250px,
columns and rows are both set to 10.
Make some tiles and I will try them out. I would suggest either losing the semi-transparent bar at the bottom of the tiles and increasing the text OR increasing the transparent bar in height by almost double and increasing the text. Only reason I say this is because all of the other wp7 theme tiles with actual photos as tiles have the exact same transparent bar at the same height. Basically looks like all the other tiles just squared.

Hm, i took the "design" from the original icons, all was rushed, maybe ill create other types, however atm i am modifiying ADW launcher and have in mind a slyghtly different setup than yours. Smaller tiles with one free row on the right and the menu button centered below.

Really loving this idea. great work! If you are making a theme for ADW Launcher, that would be great plus you should add the icons into that and it would be awesome! :D
