"Official" Beautiful Widgets Skinning Thread

[928Droid]

There are a few other Sense skins if you don't like that one. They were all posted in this thread at one point or another.

True, there are 3 or 4 that are actually MUCH nicer than the one I made.

But they are also "fatter" than mine (flip backgrounds wider and closer together), and the Digits aren't exact HTC versions either <ducking again>

The HTC digits are exactly centered where they "fold" and are taller than most replicas. Details, details


This is one of the VERY NICE Sense stlye skins.. but illustrates what I mean about the "fatter" white backgrounds and "non-HTC" thicker Digits.

Yeah none of them are perfect. From what I see, yours is trying to be as accurate as possible to the original HTC version and the others take the look and make it more proportional, but less accurate to the original.

and theirs are much higher rez too... my photoshop skills are VERY limited.

Remember my best skin was "Naked Droid" ...it took me days just to make a background transparent :icon_eek: Tough job but someone had to do it!!

You started the chain reaction of nakedness that resulted in Tama adding the transparency feature.

Only problem with this update is I am again spending too much time picking a skin and tweaking transparency & font color.

"Chain reaction" is sometimes just pure harassment and I wore him down

I think he added the skinning option just to shut me up! :icon_eek:

I've noticed that too..you don't even answer my calls anymore!!

well, i got the new DarkEdge Theme, and created a skin to match

 

[gardobus]

You didn't like the one that the theme makers supplied?

Or do they not include it anymore? Last time I beta tested the theme, it was included.

 

[seang]

how is it installed?
i didnt even know about it...

 

[gardobus]

I think it is SUPPOSED to install when you do the metamorph but I had to do it manually. I found it in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/DarkEdge/beautifulwidgets I think. Look around in the DarkEdge theme folder and its probably in there.

Yours looks legit too though lol

 

[seang]

i dont have it...

 

[gardobus]

wtf why would they have removed it...

Well if you want to try it out, I could zip it up for you?

 

[seang]

thanks!
