I think I found it in my own quest for that option: here.

UP2NoGooDJ · April 22nd, 2011, 03:05 PM

oops wrong link sorry guys

laurieb · April 22nd, 2011, 03:07 PM

Thanks, I guess I have no idea how to do all that to the sd card, for changing the icon widget.

I am not that phone savvy!!

Guess I will not use it.

Thanks that helped.

Slow your roll...if I can figure it out, so can you. And that's kind of the point of forums, is all of us helping each other out.
1. Are you already using a lockscreen app, like widget locker?
2. The icons are stored like so: When you open your sd card on computer, there is a file called 'data' - open her up. create a new file called 'com.kanokgems.smswidget' and stick your icon files there.
3. Add the sms unread widget to your lockscreen - while you're in edit mode for the lockscreen app, of course. Click on the stock icon that pops up for text, or phone, or email, to change - and there your files are.

Voila. Took me more time to explain it than to do it.
If this feels like to much, consider the 'Missed It' widget for your lockscreen...it reads out text based alerts, like so:

Let me know if you need any more help.

YEAH! A widget over the top of our chosen wallpaper with live updating weather.

Thanks vailpass
All images and WL theme are available on the XDA show your screen forum (see below)

r) so you can copy it exactla as it is

.
obviously multipicture live wallpaper must be used to place the 3 screens.
let me know if you need anything else.

Home screen still has some work to go but not sure what to do yet!

Hi. Can you tell me what widget that is at the top of your second screen, the "Auto/Home/Work/etc".
Thank you in advance.

Would like to know this too.

On a seperate note, I see people with unread mail,SMS and missed call count widgets, would anyone know the name of one or two?

Thanks!

ok, been playing with GIMP text to path today. Finally . Getting the hang of it but far from where I'd like to be eventually.

Not much here, Fancy widget weather/clock and some text icons (9) embedded in the wallpaper. Just wanting to see what it really looks like .

Hmm , some of it looks better on here, some better on the phone. Back to the drawingboard !

Finally started to get the hang of this thing. LG Ally, background from DA, custom photo icons with desktop visualizer, dock bar and dock icons for around here, and beautiful widgets.

You're becoming the GIMP GURU

I'm also working on a 'car' theme, and will prob post this week.
I look at it and I think awesome,and 10 minutes later it's far from awesome.
Anyway in elboco style, I'll just announce a teaser (but I'm not brave enough to post a thumbnail yet)

Actually though of you on the clown one, since I carefully used minimalist text colours to ensure I used the identical colours to the image (except one green bit I forgot to change on my post!)
That clown looked fantastic on screen, but a bit dismal on the post.
And best of all it was about 30 minutes max, including the screencap to position the 'bubbles'

Looks great. Wondering if you could post the link to the stamp icons?

skittensro · April 24th, 2011, 10:17 PM

I just googled everything took me like 2 hours ro find a nice 2400x800 wallpaper, thinking that it would make it so each of my 5 screens would get a piece of it, since 480*5=2400...

This doesn't work, see people do it all the time, how are they doing it?

You have to use something like this:

MultiPicture Live Wallpaper

Free

You would then take an image and split it into separate 480x800 images.

Hope this helps.

LOL see below!

Believe it or not, I have added the PS to the first post above which was on the XDA initial post, BEFORE I saw your comments

- scary how similar that was to your comment

That post also changed because I forgot to screen cap with minimaltext for clock and battery.

I didn't get the top bit in there...but anyway it's a CSI pic. I was close to getting the live wallpaper but I heard they drain your battery.

I might get a rotator eventually, I love those. I got to have over 30 on my Firefox on here.
