[Q] Theme Q - Editing Widgetlocker Icons (Photoshop) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to use some icons for lock sliders using Widgetlocker, but I would like to change the default icons slightly. Basically I want the backgrounds on the icons to be different. Unfortunately I have no experience with Photoshop or any other graphics program.
The default dialer icon has a grey background (please see attachment). I would like to change it to the red background (also provided). Then the email/messaging icon I would like to have a yellow background exactly like the one shown behind the mute icon (I couldn't find that background alone without an icon on it already).
If someone with a bit of know how could please do this for me and upload the new icons. I have also provided some other icons as examples of other icons that have already been done with these backgrounds.
Thanks in advance

Editing Icons

I've tried to edit a couple icons I've found to make my own shortcuts (basically changing colors) but whenever I do it leaves the icon with a background.
What program is out there to make an icon transparent..preferably freeware or something cheap?
Thanks

[Q] Changing font colors on curtain clock

Hi all!
Aspiring dev looking for an answer to what should be a simple question.
I have a rom downloaded that uses an ADW MIUI theme. The original dev replaced the pull-down notification bar with a "glass" one.
All in all the theme looks nice, except for one issue...
The font color for the clock is black and the notification bar cuts off the area of the background wallpaper, making the notification area black as well, "hiding" the clock.
Is there something in framework that I can use to change this without making it overrule all the other fonts?
I really like this rom but the only thing I need to fix is the clock font color.

Custom Icon Background Transparency Problem

Hey all,
Hope you can provide some assistance. I got an all-white icon set, and modified a few .pngs in Photoshop to add color to match my theme. Backgrounds were transparent, displayed transparent in Photoshop, still opened as transparent after I exported them for web as png-24s with transparency preserved. However, as soon as I drag the icons over to the root of my storage card, my phone (HTC One) displays the once transparent backgrounds as black. What gives? I've tried using Photoshop 7, Photoshop CS6, and GIMP with the same results. I'm I missing something?

[Q] Removing icon color frame

Hi!
Im using Flatisco icon pack and ive applied it to my Holo launcher on my Motorola Atrix 4G running CM11 (4.4.4).
Obviously, Flatisco does not support all my apps so i change thier icons manually, but i noticed that the icons i applied manually are framed with some random ugly color that i dont want. ( Screenshot added, look at HiroMacro, 2Lines for clash...).
How can i make those icons like the other icons, without the color frame? (Ex. Root explorer, Greenify, SuperSu...)
Thank you and have a good day!
Edit: had to resize the photo in order to upload.
Any ideas?

A question about icon text and icon background.

I know I can control the icon's background color and transparency but is there a way to control the icon text in the same way? Many of the wallpapers that I like to use make the text hard to see and read. At times, a wallpaper will have a lighter color or colors at the bottom and darker colors at the top so changing the text color does not help. It would be great if the icon background was extended farther down to the text line. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
