im not sure who to point this question at, but can someone make a 'milestone overclock' icon? (preferably size 2x2)that would be great also, im just curious to know what are the apps for your shortcuts for things like 'entertainment', and 'games' i mean i know you can make folders but arent they only widgets?

thanks, im loving my new layout based on the icons you wonderful people have made for people like me

Turns out it is 74x74 but I have to make a 2x1 or 1x2 widget and resize it to 1x1, then it works

Whoa... I don't get it. Why does it work that way?

 

[nemkovacs]

These look good already. What is the problem that you are having?

The subtitles dont match correctly to the extant icons, when i pick myriad pro bold then its too bold, when normal then its too thin

Ohh, just found the original windows phone 7 font (SegeoWP):

I use GIMP to make my tiles and it is free.... GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

Sorry but I don't know of a tutorial on using GIMP to make these icons and labels.
All I did was find images on google or other graphics sites that I liked, downloaded them, cropped and resized them until they were the dimensions that Paulmz listed on the very first page of this thread, then I added the label and saved them in the png format.
Then I moved the images to my phone and with the help of Desktop Visualizer i added the image widgets and voila, they were on my screen.

You might be able to find some tutorials on youtube on reszing and cropping graphics with GIMP.

Sorry I am not to helpful, perhaps someone else can give a tutorial on how resize and crop images with GIMP.

Yeah, it's the Semi-Bold Myriad Pro that I used... it matched the stock Android/HTC font exactly.

Which tile widgets do you mean? I don't have any white ones.

Hey Paul I meant these ones.Plain White Silence & Wi-Fi Widgets

Any chance you got the rest of the set?

No, I didn't make a set of those... just the two. They aren't tile widgets, though, like the blue/red/green ones I made already. They are just plain white icons with a transparent background intended for use on a black/dark wallpaper.

I guess if I get more requests I can do the others, but it's not on the agenda right now.

1x1: 110 x 125
1x2: 110 x 260
1x3: 110 x 395
1x4: 110 x 530
2x1: 230 x 125
2x2: 230 x 260
3x1: 350 x 125
3x3: 350 x 395
4x1: 470 x 125
4x4: 470 x 530

All dimensions are in pixels, width by height for a device with a resolution of 480 x 800.

How did you paulmz come up with these dimensions?

Does anyone have a clue how these dimensions should be changed if i change the LauncherPro columns from 4 to 5 and rows from 5 to 8 so that the gaps and all will still remain symmetrical?

 

[yohobojo]

Hey paulz, nice work. But i have a question. How should these dimensions change if the rows=5 column=5? Basically what the guy above me asked
