Some of the others forget to post links to their wallpapers too, please do it! A couple of them are really beautiful
I believe the one he is using is called PanoPlanet Live Wallpaper appbrain link

Oh and Panoplanet doesn't work either. Fucking hell.
Here Yazan, download this: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
It lets you fake your way into the paid store.
That's called BattStatt. http://www.appbrain.com/app/net.bajawa.battery

I'm using iDroid icons with a custom App Tray icon. Using Beautiful Widgets with cashmere clock skin, resized to hide the weather. SwitchPro for all the toggles. Pure Calendar Widget for calendar and tasks. It supports multiple calendars and task/agenda programs. It is truly one of the best cheap, paid apps in the market. My nieces are courtesy of the default Picture Frame widget, of course.joeposh said:

Media Player and Switches are the stock music widget and SwitchPro. Skinned under this theme. I flashed it on my Evo, it's for the desire, though.
The clock doesn't need theming, it can look like that out of the box. It's Digital Clock.
Kikal, the wallpaper (and many great others) can be found here.

Anyone know how much of this customising you can do on a UK Orange Desire 2.1 (not rooted) ?

Heiberr, i know i've asked this in another thread and you responded, but i'm still wondering how you're able to display your charge status and your alarm on the lockscreen. is that just a default feature of vanilla android or is it something else?

It's a bug. You have to disable transparency then re-enable it for it to work. IDK why, but that's just the way it is.ecnal said:

It's called Beautiful Home Weather for the default size or Beautiful Smaller Home Weather for the compact version.Adamm said:

How difficult is this stuff to do? I adore some of the designs here but it seems like too much work :/
teiresias said:I don't really have anything original. I think the wallpaper was from someone in an Android thread here. I tend to swap my wallpaper a lot though, this is just what happens to be there now.
Sorry, I assume that's Beatiful Widgets - which theme is that for the time/weather?
Anyone have this problem with Widgetlocker?
When I receive a SMS and I have the handcent popup... It won't rotate if I hold my phone horizontally (using a Droid, opening the keyboard, but even with the virtual landscape keyboard). + with the virtual portrait keyboard, it will hide what I write.
It's annoying!

I've never messed around with my Sense UI (Droid Incredible) so I have no idea what I'm doing with these icon files. Do you have to have a rooted phone in order to use these properly? Or is there some easy way of being able to replace the default icons?teiresias said:

Those are Launcher Pro dock icons. If you have launcher pro installed, you can long press on a dock icon and it will bring up a menu with an option to change the icon image. Then you just select an image from your Photos. You can't do that with the Sense homescreen.joesmokey said:I've never messed around with my Sense UI (Droid Incredible) so I have no idea what I'm doing with these icon files.

You do not need to be rooted to do that. And don't feel stupid. I had to look up how to customize the dock icons myself.

It's not that hard with LauncherPro + Desktop Visualizer. Just download both from the market and then get the png icons in a folder and put it on your SD card. To change home icons instead of just adding the app, add a shortcut and select Desktop Visualizer, select the icon from the sd card (it'll give you the option) and the app it is supposed to launch.
For the dock in launcherpro just long press one of the plus signs in the dock and go to "Change shortcut" then "Custom Icon," again just select one of the png's from the folder on your sd card. [Edit: beaten on this like a small child]
And it's all good, anyone in this thread or the Software thread will help you out until you get used to it. We were all there at the beginning for varying amounts of time.
It's the Black Cashmere theme with the background cut off. That gets you the clock digits font, but the location and weather use whatever their system font on your phone is. I installed the comfortaa font linked earlier in the thread (or maybe it's linked in the software thread - I can't remember).Priz said:

Oh wow, love that clock style.
Maybe this isn't the appropiate thread but anyone knows if there is the same clock style for the iphone? I would really love to have it, looks wonderful!

I think that's how it works. I don't know if you can uninstall sense unless you root? If you tried changing to something like launcher pro, I think your unlock screen stays the same? I could be wrong.
Does anyone have issues with widget locker or battstatt? I occasionally see the original unlock screen for a second, but I thought I had set up everything correctly using their home helper thing. Also, battstatt seems to stop updating at random times and I have to re-insert the widget.
