Android Pro Widgets Themes

2011-10-12T22:56:00.004-04:00

Well, I've started to port my themes for Android Pro Widgets. APW gives me many more options, which is awesome. The most important one is the ability to create fullscreen widgets! Something I was never able to do with the LPP theme engine. Look for ported themes soon.

Just wanted to check in with everyone to let you know I will be on a hiatus from making new themes while I take care of some personal items that are more important. I will still be offering support for my existing Market themes and look forward to taking care of your requests upon my return.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support.

My setup - Verizon Thunderbolt

2011-05-05T17:17:00.001-04:00

DISCLAIMER: This is very customized to my needs. There are paid and free apps used and the setup is tedious. If you really want it, exactly as it is, let me know.

Well, some people have asked what the heck my phone setup was. Today is your lucky day. Just kidding. I'm still running a stock Tbolt ROM with bloat removed and a modded Slate skin mostly applied. I'm sure some people will say they're too cluttered, but I like having info at my fingertips. It should also be painfully obvious at this point that I hate widgets that look like widgets. I like to have an integrated GUI. I have a 3 screen setup:

It's a modded LPP (obviously) and uses 5 columns x 8 rows.
Top left - Modded Fancy Widget (old version) which is the clock, date and weather
Top right - Modded LiveScores widget
Below that - Modded LPP scrollable agenda
Below Fancy - Modded OneClick widgets (wifi and ringer)
Middle Left - Modded Simple Notepad widget
Middle Right - Modded Genie Widget

3 launcher bars with 15 shortcuts and swipe gestures. Below that are the unread counts for my 3 email accounts (work, Yahoo, Gmail) using a modded 1x1 Email Widget.

Left screen LPP People widget and right screen LPP Friends widget.

Some other screens:

Left screen is the main screen with the calendar grid shown. Middle screen is a modded Power Strip with 5 column apps. Right screen is a modded App Folders with 5 column app drawer and transparent bg.

Even more screens:

Modded World Clock on the left, modded Weather in the middle and LPP Facebook status screen on the right.

Tips & Tricks:

Obviously, properly overlaying widgets with LPP is extremely handy. That's pretty much how the entire main screen gets done.
Since I use an 8 row setup, I expanded LPP to a 10 row setup and maxed out the LPP People and Friends widgets, then reverted back to an 8 row setup. That's how to get the widgets to be fullscreen. At one point, I had a transparent bar on the bottom and you could see the content behind it. This is cool, BUT, I had to add padding to the LPP People widget to be able to select the last row of people. See below.
The expanding method is also how I added the unread widgets to the bottom of the screen. Added them while at 10, then shrunk to 8 and added a hole in the bottom bar to see them.

That's what I got right now! Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for tuning in...

If you have donated to me in the past, please PM me your Paypal information and I will send you the theme you desire. Thank you for your support.

How to use the new theme engine

These applications will theme ALL LauncherPro Plus widgets to look like the images below.

This application will only work with the pro version of LauncherPro Plus 0.8.5 and above with the theme engine. You can download that application here.

- ALL 9 LauncherPro Plus widgets are themed via these applications.
- You still need to purchase the Market unlocker for LauncherPro to gain access to the widgets. The unlocker can be found here.
- This will work if you have purchased the Paypal version of LauncherPro, as long as you install the beta application mentioned above.
- Install this application, then go to LauncherPro Preferences->LP Widget Settings->Select the widget you want to theme->Select Skin->signals23-THEME. Backout and restart LauncherPro to see the changes.

When more features are implemented, this application will be updated accordingly in a timely manner, including fullscreen widgets and relocating the refresh button.

Widgets

Just updated my post. I have been messing with the widgets lately trying to create a more unified look. The left one is the mail widget. I plan on changing it more, but figured I'd post this version. The right one uses four widgets but looks like one: Power Control, Pure Weather, Scoreboard and Genie.

I've been messing around with this ROM lately. It's awesome. I would recommend checking it out. I've ported some of my smooth theme over to it and changed the horrible "bubbles" for the program launcher, but I'm running into FC issues. I'll keep working on it.
