This thread was created to have a single place for walkthroughs, program add ons, icons and FAQ's for iPhone Today made by MiToNiOeS (and now by tronikos).
The disclamer (everything has them now)
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PHONE; As with anything that you can do to your phone, if you do somthing wrong, you may have to hard reset (very rare); but if you backup your phone first, you will not loose anything. MiToNiOeS, tronikos and j101399j(myself) take no responsibility if you mess up your phone from doing something stupid. This program in no way can mess up or cause problems with your phone. Now that, that was said, back to reality...
Please do not post in this thread unless you have something to add helpful. If you have a question PM me or post it in the iPhone Today forum here:

==============================================
As you can tell, I have not been on for a while and have not had a chance to keep this updated. I no longer use my Tilt (except as a GPS); so I get very little time on it. So if you see something old or outdated, please PM me.
The Walkthrough
Preparation
FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT: Back up your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Updated Feb 27,2010; based off v1.4+
How to install:
1. Start by downloading one of the iPhone_Today.zip files from here
This will install all of the needed files for iPhone Today to work.
If this is an update and you have already installed iPT; backup your icons.xml and settings.xml files. Install the new version and then put your icons and settings files back in.
2. Copy the iPhone Today cab onto your phone.
3. On your phone, navigate to the iPhoneToday.cab file
4. Click the iPhgoneToday.cab file and install it to your phone. DO NOT INSTALL TO THE STORAGE CARD
5. You have 2 versions installed;
a. The exe version is opened like a program (start menu --> programs --> iPhoneToday.exe) This is full screen mode. And it will exit if you press home or end. This works very well with programs that use tabs, like TF3d.
b. Or you can use iPhoneToday as a today plug-in. Go into "Start --> Settings --> Today --> Today items" and disable all other today plugins besids iPhone Today6. Use the icon and settings UI managers to add/edit icons (See below for UI instructions)
Adding Icons and UI instructions see post#3
How to update:
If you have v1.3 or older; uninstall iPT and follow the directions for a fresh install
If this is un update for v1.4+ then do not uninstall iPT; just download and install the new version. It will ask if you want to save your fles, select yes, and you are good to go,
The Menus and Options

Advanced Functions
Advanced:
1. There are two great weather script/applictions that display an icon for the weather.

#2 from arealityfarbetween
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882110
1 (again). How Create Shortcuts (somewhat advanced)
1. Open NotePad on your PC
2. Type a one line command to what the link points to
a. The number before the # sign is the number of characters after the # sign
b. The text following the # sign is the location of the command
i. If this points to a file, it would look like “\windows\start menu\starfire.lnk”
ii. Since there is a space in the location, use quotations
c. The text after the file location is the paramters for the file; the below example pases the commands to open the SMS account and display it’s inbox location
3. Save the file with .lnk at the end
19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"
2. MY XML EDITOR (more for editing text, link and mscr files)
I was unable to (no matter how much I tired or where I put the files) get PHM Notepad. I did find pocket text editor, which does work. Just copy the files to My Documents, and you can edit it from there. So far it works perfectly and saves the file correctly. File Attached
3. How to create a link to a phone number
I found using vj555 phone tools, you can have an icon call a phone number. You can download the phone tools here:
http://www.vijay555.com/
Just make sure you aim at the dialer.exe and set the phone number as a parameter. For Example
<icon name="Home" image="home.png" exec="\program files\vijay555\vjdialer.exe" parameters="8881234567" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
When you hit the button, it will automatically dial that number. Remember no dashes in the phone number.
ANOTHER OPTION:
Here is a really cool program that will automatically create the contact links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555574
oldsap said it perfectly:
Manually creating shortcut files for sms and call sending to specific contacts requires using a text editor (in PPC and PC) and then manually typing text codes and memorizing the phone number for that particular contact, then repeating the same procedure again and again for each contact.
oldsap created a simple application to automate all of this.
4. Create an icon to a website
To create a link to a website, select the program you want the site to open in, in mycase, I use Skyfire. Under the parameters, put the exact website. Here is my icon to this forum.
<icon name="X-divs" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\XDADevs2.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Skyfire.lnk" parameters="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508429" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
5. Create an icon to a folder
Set the exe file at your file explorer and set the paramaters to the exact location of the file to open. This is my link to my games folder
<icon name="Icons" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\icons.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\File Explorer.lnk" parameters="\windows\start menu\programs\games\" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
6. Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail
Use the attached e-mail, outlook and SMS shortcut files, readSMS.lnk for text messages, use readHotmail.lnk for hotmail, ReadGmail.lnk for Gmail, and ReadOutlook.lnk ActiveSync e-mails; do not add parameters if you use these links.
Or you can create a shortcut (See #1 above)
SMS
Code:
19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"
Outlook e-mails:
Code:
54#\windows\tmail.exe -service "ActiveSync" -open "Inbox"
Hotmail
Code:
40#:MSINBOX -service "Hotmail" -open "Inbox"
Gmail
Code:
38#:MSINBOX -service "Gmail" -open "Inbox"
7. Link an icon to a Settings
Attached are my "settings" shortcuts. These shortcuts take you directly to settings and functions on your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3858415&postcount=547
I have also attached an all-settings-link zip file that contains all the settings available. They do not have fancy icons, but it covered everything. Please note, that some of the links go to a settings tab. For example the Backlight_Settings.lnk and Backlight_Battery-Power.lnk shortcuts go to the same backlight settings location, the difference is the Backlight_Battery-Power.lnk goes to the Battery-Power tab. Not all of my tab commands will work on all phones (sorry). So for that example, if you click both links and they both take you to the 1st tab; then tab selection is not supported for that settings location. And you only need one of the link files.
8. How do I rotate the screen
I have attached a switchrotation.zip file at the bottom of this thread. That will allow you to rotate the screen. {Thanks Jeannette for the program}
9. Link an icon to a Call History
To link to call history (files attached):
1. Download the LaunchMSItem.zip
2. UnZip the LaunchMSItem.zip and copy the LaunchMSItem.exe to your phone; (I reccomend your storage card)
3. Edit your "phone" or "call" icon and set the type to "Missed calls"
4. Set the ExecuteAlt to LaunchMSItem.exe's location
5. Set the ParamsAlt to CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS
This will, when you have a missed call, goto call history
10. Creating MortScript Files
This can be easy or complicated. I recommend vising the new thread dedcated to Mortscript, or tyhe one for icon programs here:

11. How to create an apple icon for Manillia Today Page (a tab for iPT on TF3D)
drjim said:
Back on page 207, post #2063, bbonzz created Apple slider tab icons that can be used with Manila Today Page to have a unique slider tab for iPhone Today (instead of having to use the boring MTP Today tab or a tab that you weren't using).
On page 208, post #2079 (or around there), bbonzz has a .zip file of two manila files that will allow you to have a pretty basic Apple slider tab icon (similar to the old-style whitish slider tab icons of TF3D 2.0 and earlier.
Well, being the generous fellow that he is, bbonzz created a colored Apple tab icon for me that fits in just right with my TF3D 2.5 icon set that is a part of Herg's 23412 build. See pic below.

Here are the FAQ's:
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Q: How do I make the bottom bar go away? (aka the soft keys)
A: I have come across a few solutions; if NueNoBar does not work, try question 2. 1st try NueNoBar, there are 2 versions (v1.3 and v2.0); I recommend downloading both, v1.3 works on some and v2.0 works on others.
I haver attached NueNoBar v1.3 & v2.0 to this post at the bottom
2. Q: NueNoBar does not work at all, no matter what I try!!
A: Here are 2 more options:
------2a. Try dciNoBar; NueNoBar did not work on my 2ed phone, so I tried this and it works perfectly. You can find one verison of it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356978
I haver attached dciNoBar to this post at the bottom
------2b. Also try a program called Second Today (thank you dustinmcd for this one and how to use it) http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm#SecondToday; It has an option to hide the bottom bar and also gives the flexibility to use another plugin (such as Titanium) easily. Just enable no today plugins, set up iphonetoday as their "Second Today" and run it full time with minimal memory use.
3. Q. How do I have my calender show the days in my language?
A. Attached at the bottom of this post is a file called Settings XML files.zip this file contains the settings.xml files for all 4 phone resolutions and in English, Espanol (Spanish), Deutsch (German) and Français (French). Just replace your current settings.xml file in your "\iPhoneToday" folder on your phone with that one. Then restart iPhoneToday; now the days will be in your language.
I only speek English, so if I messed up; please PM me.
OR
You need to edit the settings file (located in: /iPhoneToday/settings.xml). Copy your settings.xml file to your PC. Open the file with notepad (ONLY USE NOTEPAD). Change the text inbetween the bracketed days:
ie:
English
Code:
<Sunday>Sun</Sunday>
Code:
[I]<Monday>Mon</Mon>[/I]
or Espanol
Code:
<Sunday>Dom</Sunday>
Code:
[I]<Monday>Lun</Mon>[/I]
or my favorite
Code:
[I]<Sunday>Rest2</Sunday>[/I]
[I]<Monday>Hell1</Monday>[/I]
[I]<Tuesday>Hell2</Tuesday>[/I]
[I]<Wednesday>Hump</Wednesday>[/I]
[I]<Thursday>Better</Thursday>[/I]
[I]<Friday>Party</Friday>[/I]
[I]<Saturday>Rest1</Saturday>[/I]
Save the file, and copy back to your phone. And reset iPT (disable it and re-enable it)
4. How do I add a new page?
A:
. 1. Go to your last page
. 2. Press and hold in any blank area to get the pop menu to add a new icon.
. 3. On the icon add/edit page, in the upper left corner is the screen # selection, it should already have a number. (I have 5 pages, and since the 1st page is page #0; it has the number a 4 in it).
. 3a. If you want to add the icon to the bottom bar, change the screen number to -1;
. 3b. If you want a new page, change the number up by one. For example, I have 5 pages, and I want a 6th page. So I changed the number from 4 to 5 (Remember the 1st page is #0, second page is #1, third page is #2; and so on...)
. Save the icon and now you will have a new page. Also, if you delete all of the icons from a page (like if you are moving them); once the page is blank, it will be deleted. So if you do not want the page to go away, there must be an icon on it.
5. Q: I was editing my icons and everything disappered
A: Chances are your icon's executable path has a special character in it [email protected]#$%^&*()_+=-/.,<>?; or one of your parameters has a " in it. The extra " in your parameters will crash iPhone Today
6. Q: I get a small keyboard at the bottom of the screen
A: Your screen height is a little too big. For some reason NueNoBar has a bug and causes this issue. Start by shrinking your screen height by 1. Open your text messages and close them. If the screen is still too high, the keyboard will still be there. Keep shrinking the screen height till it goes away. Unfortunatuly this will leave 2-3 lines of background/empty spcae on the bottom.
7. Q: How do I create icons to the settings on my phone
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Link an icon to a Settings
8. Q: How do I link to my call history
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Link an icon to a Call History
9. Q: How do I Link to my sms and e-mail
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail
10. Q: My bottom icons are messedup/gone after switching back to portrait after landscape mode
A: Disable the landscape option in iPhoneToday settings. This is a problem on some phones and there is no real fix yet
11. Q: I have a scroll bar on the side
A: Your screen height is too large, or you have another today plugin turned on (under or over iPhone Today), or your icons are too big and over laping. You need to lower your screen height.
12. Q: Can we have a clock?
A:For those having problems to see the digital clock:
1 add a new icon, a blank one or one with only a colored background
2 execute nothing or, if you have, a shortcut to the winmobile clock
3 change the Type from 'normal' to 'clock'
4 Enjoy your time Thanks CU
13. What is the "dll" version?
This no longer applies
14. I have iPhone Today installed; how do I update
A: If you are going to install a new vrsion.
1. 1st back up your icons, icons.xml file to your storeage card.
2. Uninstall your current iPhoneToday
3. Restart your phone
4. Install
5. copy your backed up files back to the main iPhoneToday folder to be safe
Please note that for now you cannot backup your settings
You have updated your phone
15. During installation it says that the software in compatible with the operation system. I accept and continue the installation. When installation is completed I cant see the today plugin in the list.
A. {Thanks Jeannette for the answer and cab} you have to install the "RemoveSecurity.CAB " attached at the bottom of this post to remove the security warning. Also you have to install iPhoneToday to the device. If you install to 'My Storage' it doesn't show as a today item
16. How do I create icons that turn Bluetooth or Wifi on/off?
A: Download and install Raiisak`s Bluetooth Button and Raiisak`s WLAN Button from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398050
AKToggleWifi is also a great program for WiFi Toggle.
You can find AKToggleWifi here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442727
And you always have Sir. John's Toggle scripts:

Question: Is it possible to set parameters for an email icon that will open whatever email account has mail or does it need to be one account per icon?

I am sure there is a MortScript that can do that (Check each account. At the moment no; if I figure it out, I'll let you know

How many pages do you have, was the 3rd page the last page, or was it in the middle.
If it was the last page:
Press and hold to create a new icon, on the icon details page, in the upper left corner, you will see a "screen" option; change it to "2" (0 is page 1, 1 is page 2 and so on). Give the icon a name and save it. This will add a 3rd page. Now create as needed.
If you have more then 3 pages
You will need to move all but one icon off that page (to create a new end page see above steps). Then add a new icon to page 3 (if there are no icons, the page will delete). Move the last icon to the new last page. Since you have that new icon on page 3, it will not delete that page. Then you are ready to go.
Is it possible to create an icon that opens a new screen in IphoneToday? I created shortcuts to several phonenumbers. I'd like to group them. I mean when I hit the icon a new screen opens with the grouped shortcuts to the phonenumbers.

You would have to create a new icons.xml file that has just those icons and use MortScript to swap the files and refresh iPT. See this post:

Can you go over adding pages..
cyberhern said:

Sure,
1. Go to your last page
2. Press and hold in any blank area to get the pop menu to add a new icon.
3. On the icon add/edit page, in the upper left corner is the screen # selection, it should already have a number. (I have 5 pages, and since the 1st page is page #0; it has the number a 4 in it).
3a. If you want to add the icon to the bottom bar, change the screen number to -1;
3b. If you want a new page, change the number up by one. For example, I have 5 pages, and I want a 6th page. So I changed the number from 4 to 5 (Remember the 1st page is #0, second page is #1, third page is #2; and so on...)
Save the icon and now you will have a new page. Also, if you delete all of the icons from a page (like if you are moving them); once the page is blank, it will be deleted. So if you do not want the page to go away, there must be an icon on it.

After using iPT some buttons are useless now, like the Windows Hardbutton and the start menu (on my TP2. So, it would be nice to add some info to the guide to change the mapping og this buttons. You now how to map f.e. the Windows Hardbuttion to programs? And how to make a link to the settings, i mean just to all 3 tabs, not to specific phone settigs?

iPT does not disable or mess with the hard buttons when ran as a today plug-in. If you are using the exe version (start --> programs--> iPhoneToday.exe); then you will loose your hard soft keys bcause you are running it as a program, not a plug-in; same as any full screen program. If you run iPT that way, you will need to create icons to those settings/items. Since every phgone is different, I can't really create a guide how to add them
At the request of a number of you, here's a little tutorial explaining how I made the theme below, I called abstract theme (do not ask me why ...)
(Note that I am not the inventor of this type of theme, I am inspired by many themes I have seen on other forums, I thank very much the creators of wallpapers I used (I never remind theyre names except EG Fox, sorry for that))
1/ So, to start, install Launcherpro (you can also take the "plus" but paying)
(for those who are using ADW, a trick is done at the end of the tutorial)
2/ Adjust the settings you prefer (this is only the parameters related to the theme I present now, but there are other possible parameters):
- Number of pages, the default page, the number of columns, the number of lines (to position your shortcuts, personally I have 8 columns and 8 rows) => Menu / Settings / Homescreen Settings
- Number of dock (the dock is the Quick Launch bar that is located right in landscape mode, you have 5 possible shortcuts in one dock and it is possible to have up to 3 docks (to slide up or down on the dock) => Menu / Preferences / Dock Settings (you can also specify, if you choose to put shortcuts telephone, email and sms on the dock, if you want to be displayed a count of unread events)
- The bottom of the Dock (in the theme as an example, I have no background) => Menu / Preferences / Appearance Settings / Dock Background / None (if you want to put a custom dock by you or found on the net, then you must choose "Custom" and pick the dock from your SD card)
3/ Choose your screen and resize it at 800x480. So that the bottom is not distorted, use Multipicture Live Wallpaper which allows you to set a different wallpaper per page (if desired). Multipicture Live Wallpaperr is managed as an animated wallpaper
The bottom will not be distorted but the 36 Pxls top will be hidden by the notification bar.
4/ Then you need to know, based on the number of rows and columns you have chosen, where you must place your text on the wallpaper. To do so, complete page fully of shortcuts. Then made a screenshot, I recommend the excellent ScreenShot
5/ On your PC, using your editing software (photoshop, photofiltre ... etc.) you can have your wallpaper nude and the screen as it will be on your Streak with the location where applications will be.
So place your text on your nude background by ensuring that these areas are easily covered by applications..
Your wallpaper is ready !
6/ Now install Desktop Visualizer, which allows you to put shortcuts transparent (especially)
(For those who could not find it on the Market : http://www.partage-facile.com/GYV6DGY6CW/jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr.apk.html )
7/ Desktop Visualizer works as a widget : long press on background / add a widget and choose desktop visualizer (it has different sizes, choose the one that best fits the space you have planned for your shortcut)
DV lets you choose the icon of the application to launch, get the transparent icon on your SD card (if you do not have a transparent icon, here's one : http://www.partage-facile.com/0GJIEOUAO0/transparent.png.html )
Then select the application you want to start.
Delete the text of the application and confirm (you can change or remove the highlighting that appears when you press the link to the application you're using, otherwise it will be orange)
8/ Once you've validated, you see nothing changed on the screen, it is normal because you have placed a transparent icon ! The link will always be placed to the top left corner of your home. Make a mong press along the top left, your widget will be highlighted by launcherpro.
You may notice a kind of tab in the lower right corner of your shortcut, by pressing and holding down while moving your finger, you can resize your widget as you like.
So give the desired size for your shortcut and press "back", the highlight disappears. Now made a long press on the top left of the streak and held down, move your widget transparent to the place you want on your home. (To verify that it is well positioned, have a long support for and release to highlight it)
Do this for each shortcut you provided on your screen.
9/ The last step is the Dock. You've already put in the dock transparent, but it remains the shortcuts on the dock that are visible.
Make a long press on shortcuts, you can either change an icon (change icon/custom icon) or change the shortcut and put any you want and you can still choose the transparent icon before finalizing this shortcut.
Then, I think I pretty much said it all. To summarize, here is my wallpaper ith some details :
This is obviously a simple example that you described above some customization capabilities. Unleash your imagination and make us great themes!
I hope I was clear about (and sorry for my english), do not hesitate if you have questions or additions
Some other example of themes done with this method :
My latest :
I compiled my wallpapers and you can download them (empty and modified) here (updated with the 3 latest) : http://www.partage-facile.com/O87TRUWWBJ/compil_theme.zip.html
For you guys who wants to use these themes but on ADW Launcher, if you have any problem with Multipicture Live Wallpaper, you can try Wallstreak instead of multipicture live.
Wallstreak is not available on the market, but you can get it from this link

Thank you to ramtix for this trick
Thats a easy to follow tutorial

Many Thanks
Nice tutorial easy to follow Big Thanks
Well done lestat89
Thanks!
Cant wait to start playing around with these when I get home next week

Thank you for your comments
@skyscraper04, I had a link to download my wallpapers at the end of the first post
thanks a bunch
Cant open the zip file for wallpapers.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I don't understand why you can't. I did some tests and I never had any problem to open the .zip (on my PC)
Did you try it on your Streak or on your PC ?
Anybody else with this problem ?
Nice work mate...love it
very creative way to get a whole new look. Nice idea!
Thank you
But the idea is not from me. I was inspired by themes I saw on other forum.
For information, I updated the .zip at the end of the 1st thread with my latest wallpapers
dude..tried to use one of your attachment as wallpaper, but everytime it asks the picture to be cropped.How do I go around this? I want the whole picture to appear on the screen
I'm not sure I've well understood your problem, but I use Multipicture live Wallpaper who allow me to have one wallpaper per page.
Is it your question ? (sorry, my english is limited)
Hi Lestat, I sorted it out. I wasnt using MultiPicture Live and I use ADW Launcher.
For you guys who wants to use Lestat's theme but on ADW Launcher, try Wallstreak instead of multipicture live.
Wallstreak is not available on the market, but you can get it from this link
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?p=55644
Thank you for the information. I added your trick at the end of the tutorial
actually I also tried multipicture live on ADW and it works perfect..better than wallstreak, more options of customization..so guys, try it. Now my desktop is uncluttered and looks better..awesome work lestat! Hope you continue this work and more wallpapers to come ;-)
Cool, thanks for the new ideas !

you'll have that + + + + + label for adding another icons...
you COULD in theory create a blank PNG or jpeg or whatever.. save it in your gallery (or wherever.. )
Long press on one of the Plus signs.
Select "Replace"
Select "Custom Icon"
then select your blank png (blank.png attached to post
et voila
I have added a blank.zip to the post
just unzip the blank.zip and there will be a blank.png inside....copy to your phone..... find it in the gallery.. and i can confirm it works

(i have left dock background in place just to prove it is working,, but easy to disable)
show/hide dockbar
if you dont need the whole dockbar on your homescreens you can also configure to show or hide it with a gesture.
go to "settings" -> "function-settings" -> "buttons and gestures" -> "action for wiping down" -> "show/hide dockbar"
(i hope this are the names of the menus in english because i have the german version)
now when you wipe your finger down on any homescreen the dockbar shows or hides itself.
thats the settings i prefer but do as you like!

This is the best way. However the homescreen real estate is not expanded to reach the bottom of the screen, unlike most other launchers. For this reason I switching back to ADW, although Go's transition fx are amazing
Bit of a bump here, can i not replace the dock with say Arrow Dock? It's completely different so is it possible?
This is arrowdock:

wrong section yes but not a stupid question nor a lazy user. its an option in adw that i wish go launcher had. i would switch to adw for this option alone but i'm having other more serious issue with adw. the point of this is to use the space so my widget extends to the bottom of the screen. it just looks a lot cleaner instead of empty space at the bottom where the dock would be.

I think the earlier question was removing the dock bar and using the real estate to place widgets, which you really can't. Hiding the dock bar? Yes of course. Using the space for widgets? No can do.

You can use the space for widgets, the trick is that you have to go to a larger grid size, place the widget at the bottom, and then change the grid size to be one notch smaller.
I did this so that my twitter widget is stretched to the very end of the screen, and the same thing for the jorte calendar on another screen.
It's easy
Using the additional screen area at the bottom can be done, but only for resizable items (widgets). Here's how. Increase your vertical grid capacity by one. I run a 5x4, so I would switch to a 6x4. Use a gesture feature to hide the dock bar. Any widget that was on the bottom of your previous grid will now be one row up from the bottom. RESIZE the widget to occupy the bottom row (do not move it). For a 1x1widget, you would be turning it into a 2x1 widget. Now, go back into your preferences ---> screen settings. Revert back to your original grid layout and return to your home screen. The bottom widgets should occupy the full lower area.
There are three problems with doing this.
1) Any time you show the dock bar, the widgets will not adjust, meaning that the dock will cover part of the widget(s).
2) If you long press any of the lower widgets, it will detect the missing grid row and relocate the widget. In the event this happens, you must repeat the process all over again. This means no moving or resizing widgets once they're in place.
3) The spacing between the lower widgets and anything directly above them is increased due to the widget occupying a larger vertical area. This creates a less uniform look. Note that this only applies to widgets that do not stretch when resized (fixed widget size).
How this helps.
This thread is awesome, now I can finally make some MIUI like interface.

Hi,
Those icons aren't really icons, but rather text used in the Zooper Widget. To change these icons, as well as their associated shortcuts, try this:
1. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets (come back here to lock them back into place at the end).
2. Long press on the top widget - Configure - Layout.
3. Now as you can see, there are many Rich Text Module with letters underneath, those are the 'icons'. For example, 'a' is the clock icon.
4. To change the icon/text, tap a module (e.g. 'a'), scroll to Edit Text Manually, and replace 'a' with another letter. Here is a reference to all the icons: http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....pdf?key=chMx6D8HCwHmdWscEnOsag&ts=1400226165
5. Once you've changed the icon, tap back, then select Module OnTap. Change it to the shortcut/app that you prefer (you can swipe between tabs).
6. Once you're happy, exit everything, and use the same method to the other widgets if necessary.
7. Lock the widgets back into place (Step 1).
It looks like a lot of effort, but it gets much easier with practice. For more information on editing themes, see our tutorial videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPXmDjRU7Q9daVeQYX78PNrUp0BAc9AIn
New to themer and i can't find anything in a search to help me swap out an icon in my dock. Looks like the dock is set up using Everything Widget. I deleted the icon and wanted to add a new one but my options were limited. Can anyone link me to some good threads to walk me through this process? Struggling to find anything on my own.
The theme is Nightscape.
Thanks for sharing such a great information its really informative and intersting . i m looking forward to see more update like that Thanks once again.

Hi,
Some themes use fonts instead of icons to make porting the theme to other phones. Nightscape is one of those themes that use a widget instead of icons. To change an 'icon', try this:
1. Long press on the widget - Advanced - Unlock Widgets.
2. Long press on the widget again - Configure.
3. Use the blue slider on the left to drag the configuration box up.
4. Select an icon, such as the chat bubble - Text - Set Text.
5. Change it to another letter (use this link for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704935) - tap back.
6. Text - Hotspot - Change it accordingly - tap back - exit the widget - Lock Widgets into place.
You're welcome to add in bitmap images instead of the font method, but these fonts produce the highest quality as well as many other useful applications. For more info check out our video tutorials, especially the Music one: http://bit.ly/ThemerVideos. If you need any more help just let us know!
