Trying to create LauncherPro-style icons in photoshop

[El Blacksheep]

I'm trying to figure out how to make my own icons that match the look-and-feel of the launcherpro icons... anyone had any luck in this department?

Nuts. No answers. I was wondering about this myself.

I would be interested as well... was just thinking about this the other day... I would be willing to make a donation for the creation of some of these icons... I'll be watching and waiting.

For those interested here's a website someone on another forum created for requesting/sharing LauncherPro Icons. Very cool.

My new dock

From left to right:

Dialer
- Shows missed call count

Social folder
- Shows unread sms count
- Contains... lots of social apps

App Drawer
- Standard

Internet folder
- Shows unread gmail count
- Contains Browser, Bookmarks folder, Email, Gmail, Market, Dropbox, and Info folder containing news apps and such

Mixzing
- Standard. I like it because it doubles as a music player and a video player.

Pictures folder.
- Contains Camera, Gallery, and Drocap2

Entertainment folder
- Contains (Android) Games folder, Media folder, and (Emulators) Retro folder

GPS folder
- Contains Google Maps, Google Navigation, Maps Editor, and Car Home

Utility folder

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2, but never used styles. Can someone give a quick run-down on how to use the "LauncherPro.asl" found on Blacksheep's link?

I'm currently using ADW.Launcher and I preferred it over LauncherPro because I could customize which apps are at the bottom. Now it looks like you not only can add your apps to LauncherPro, it looks like you can customize it too. I would like to try it, but I don't see the Photoshop styles even though the Styles is checked in the drop-down menu.

I have posted 3 video tutorials on this subject at bit.ly/lpicons.

There are already several icons for common apps submitted by users all of which are free for download on that website too.

I also have an app on the market that makes downloading the icons a one-click process at http://bit.ly/LPiOnAppBrain

Wow, thanks, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.

By the way, the link for the app on appbrain is dead.

How do you place a folder in launcherpro dock? Do you make a shortcut of it with bettercut or something first?

Thanks for the heads up. Fixed.

Nah, I use FolderOrganizer. For a free version, AppOrganizer does the same thing but with a few less bells and whistles.
