Beautiful Widget Skins

How about a Droid font flip clock guys?

Thats on my list. Will do later today if I get a chance. Girlfriend coming over so might not be able to =p

Smaller Home Steampunk01 Theme:

Ignore the time difference between the clock and the top bar - if you take a screen-shot just as the time changes the widget lags behind by a few milliseconds...

Looks nice Phil.
I say you should make the gears stand out a bit though, it'll be easier to see and will make it pop out

You guys have plenty of time to mess with the skins. The update does not drop for another week.

 

[pbrennan42]

That's good - I want to have made a whole load of them to drop into the market as soon as the themable update is out.

I could do Jorge, but I cannot be asked. I think it looks good enough as it is...

True, but I'm not sure if I'll have time during the week. Also, how would you like the flip clock? Any special gfx? Or...?

Haha well it looks good enough now Phil. You should look into what I messaged you via Gtalk, would beneift us both

I hear rumour that Google are adding dropbox functionality to Google Docs but that might be some time in coming. They seem to be having issues with dropboxes by third parties because of the amount of malware being added to them.

I could talk to my host to see if they can do me a dropbox system on my account that I can make accounts for. Anyone know how to make a folder on a host that can have a separate password and user name for third parties to access then please PM me.

Saying that, if Android Central can offer such facility to trusted forum members for a small fee to exchange dev files and skins then I would be most interested.

Was thinking, maybe the htc skin with the droid font numbers.

 

[pbrennan42]

That's easy to do for someone who has already done a HTC theme - they just give you a version without the numbers in it and it will just default to whatever font you chose to be the default.

Phil.

Well they're already like that. Here's what it looks like without specifying the font. Doesn't look that bad, just believe it would look better in black

Now I just finished the one with the black font, and in my opinion, it looks way better.
Also, Home++ has issues with the new BW so the skinning is off some.

I was bored, and I am also a Warhammer 40,000 / Epic 40,000 / Inquisitor / Battle Fleet Gothic fan:

Here's a skin I made that has scanlines.

The number area has a slight greenish tint to it, and I'm thinking about making a monochrome version as well.
Font is duepuntozero black from dafont.

You'll see my scanline version soon enough.
Do like yours though, looks cool and kinda goes with the font!

 

[pbrennan42]

I am impressed. Again. I am gonna have to up my game...

I do wish I had Photoshop though, but I refuse to use a hookie version and there is no way I can afford to buy a legit version, so I am sticking with the GIMP for the time being...

Phil.

 

[pbrennan42]

The horizontal lines on the numbers and the backplates are being a PITA in not lining up all the time even though they should - I am going to abandon them from now on and have done with them...

Phil.

 

[Mr.Miagi]

So we will be able to DL and apply this skins when the next update for BW is released? Sounds pretty sweet.

Can you make the numbers transparent? I think you can, in which case you could make the lines sort-of show through.

I hope to do the release on wednesday (in France so that will be the night in the USA) if everything goes well.

I have updated the skin dev kit to finalize it with some instructions. I'd like to have some contents asap so please read the readme and submit me skins.

[Roy Aguilera]

That is great news.

 

[nox]

Yea it is. Can't wait till I get home and start working on this. If it does get released Wednesday, it'll be a great way to start off the week. Monday-No school, Tuesday-My Birthday, and Wednesday-BW Update

Gah.
So I tried to make the preview image but the standards are pretty damn hard to meet.
240x100 res (Easy to do, but distorts the image, stretches it)
10kb or under (Really hard to do, its a jpeg. lowest I got was 23.1kb)

Help? or change the standards?
