do you make your own Icons?
The icons in the screen above are generally made up of various images and worked on in Photoshop to 'blend' into each other and placed onto the background image as an 'icon'
The dock icons were simply ceated using text in Photoshop and coloured accordingly. The 'semi-circle' was added together with the vertical lines and saved as a separate PNG transparent file for the Custom Dock.
The mini image below is made up from three separate images, the 'green' background, the wheel and the Mirror. These are then manipulated in photoshop to produce the desired layout.
Since Android allows easy replacing of icons with any PNG image, it is relatively easy to craete icons without using a dedicated icon pacage.
The Mini logo for example is the circular logo with a small dropshadow added at the bottom to give some depth.
Dropshadows always liven the visual appeal when used carefully.
The mini 'grill' was also added to the custom dock and painted in Photoshop to achieve the intended look.
The icon shapes I have created in the previous post, have a small dropshadow to give them a slightly feathered enhanced feel.
Hope this helps.
When in WM I created the Mini image as a backdrop for an analogue mini clock which I created. Looked really nice.
The shelves were added separately to seat the icons and the model of the Mini etc.
