Beautiful Widget Skins

[herki]

I need help guys. I don't know which version is better, help me decide?

Number 1
Number 2

I like 1 better than 2, if it matters.

Here's a screenshot of the theme I was using to distract me from my homework. Since I used Home++, I lost how it goes with the app drawer tab. Not that it matters, since we'll be losing that soon enough anyways.

For some reason Home++ makes the spacing on the landscape version of the bigger widget funky. There's more spacing in regular home.

I have another skin in the works, but it needs a TON of work first.

It matters, so thanks for the opinion.

Also, I like that scanline effect it has going it, might use it now Will say who I got it from though

I know how it feels to have a ton of work. All these that I'm about to show all need the rest of layouts done, except for the HTC look alike.

Reminder, these are all WIP (Work In Progress)

Now, for my screenies:
Number 1 "Night Theme"
Number 2 "Cardinals Theme"
Number 3 "Vikings Theme"
Number 4 "HTC Sense UI Theme"
Number 5 "Android Skater Theme"
Number 6 "Android Skater Theme2"

The scanlines are part of the wallpaper. But yeah it does look cool now that you mention it.
And I really like the night theme. I wonder if it will go with the live grass wallpaper.
I may have to try doing some themes that fade into nothingness like that. That's a cool effect.

Oh, well the scanlines look pretty damn cool.
And yeah, that's kinda what I was going for, gonna finish these themes off and then start on new ones.
If anyone has any requests or w/e shoot them my way.

I also like the night theme

 

[nox]

Alright well got the Viking theme and Cardinals theme done.
Will take screenshots later.
3 themes left to go!

Also, if you would like a custom theme, I am willing to make requests. Donation of anywhere between $1-$5 is required for custom theme though.
As for the other theme's, I might let them out for free for a little while. Donation's are welcome.
PM me or email me for my paypal/requests

(Thanks for the idea DA6)

I am impressed Jorge.

Looks like I am gonna have to up my game. Well, I have been thinking about how to improve my themes, I just gotta do it now.

Now how did you do themes without those stupid HTC-style number blocks?

Phil.

 

[pbrennan42]

I am just having trouble making the smaller home backgrounds show up. Can someone tell me the exact naming conventions that BW expects to see for them coz it certainly ain't what the psd files are named as even after making them png.

Meanwhile, an improvement to my Songs theme:

And to my Steampunk01 theme:

I have decided to abandon my Songs theme idea as it doesn't quite work, and will be concentrating on the steampunk themes. Hopefully as the beta progresses we will be able to change the sun and moon symbol, as well as the button icons to match what we want to achieve with the better home fascias. Imagine changing the sun for a plasma ball and the moon for an ornate cog wheel for the steampunk themes...

Phil.

This skining deal has so much potential. I like where its going.

Here is a very complicated skin, my "Naked BW Skin"

Ok so I like things simple! This is an actual screen capture of BW running the beta. Kudos to Tama for his continuing evolution of BW!

BTW, this was easy, all I did was open up the example png backgrounds in a PNG editor and changed the transparancy to "0" and saved them.

OH, very important for beta users. Copy the ".nomedia" file from the data/BeautifulWidgets/weatherpack-v4 directory to the "..skins/airport directory if you don't want your Skin files to show up in the Gallery app! FYI, this will not be needed on the full release.

 

[pbrennan42]

Hmmmm naked BW skins...

I wonder...

Phil.

 

[Adiliyo]

i wonder if placing a .nomedia file will keep other stuff from showing up in their respective apps (for some reason i get some notification sounds in my music library and it's annoying)

 

[nox]

Hey guys! Phil I think you should keep the songs theme, I kinda like it.
And yeah I been pounding away at these, I have to say, that HTC one was the hardest to finish, every other one is sorta easy. Hopefully I'll be able to get them done today.

As for the not using the provided blocks for the font, just hide them and place 2 dots in the middle. Or a colon.

Cradle of Filth Theme

Yup, I like Cradle of Filth, along with the Fields of the Nephilim, Opeth, Christian Death, Rammstein and Eisbrecher...

Anyway, I did a basic Cradle of Filth Theme:

The numbers font used is called A Lolita Scorned from dafont.com

Slimmer Home Cradle of Filth Theme:

Here it is:

Here's a screenshot with Phil's theme, in widescreen landscape mode

 

[pbrennan42]

That looks real nice, but I notice that there is a number lining up issue with the top image...

I used the numbers.psd as the base for them so they should line up fine.

Yes, you can also use it to hide those naked pics and videos of your GF/wife

Just remember it will hide every media file in the directory that file is placed in.

 

[Adiliyo]

haha, why would i keep those on my phone! <_<

 

[Roy Aguilera]

How about a Droid font flip clock guys?
