[Q] Removing icon color frame - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] How to change Flipout color scheme

Hi
I'm very happy with my brand new FlipOut, but I'm not with the default color scheme: some of colors conflicts with applications, resulting in some grey-on-black texts, or blue-on-red notifications.
Is there a way to change the color scheme?
yeah there are many apps which change the theme!
i use "91 panda home 2" its free. it changes your menue etc.
there is a theme market linked in it..so you can choose what you want!
i like the default theme comes with panda 2. sometimes there is a bug in it. after the first use of a new theme you have to flip the display and back...then you have the right orientation!
by the way panda is also a nice app because it changes to smaler icons..
I've already changed my home app (I use Zeam), but unfortunatley it doesn't change color scheme for non-home elements. Does Panda can do it?
what i have seen it changes everything try out plz...its in the market
I've tried it: it changes desktop, dockbar, but notification bar and global color for apps (background/foregrounde selected colors especially) they remain the same.
Any news about system colours changer app? I hate that grey-like look!

[Theme chooser] Stock-ldpi theme for CM 7.0 (udated 08/03/2011)

I'm using the CM from KalimochoAz, and it's working very well.
I've noticed that in the standard theme (Androidian) the status-bar icons are 25px height, but the status bar itself is 19px.
So the icons are rescaled and appear very blurred and almost unreadable (expecially the 3G one).
I have cropped all the png for status bar (extracted from Androidian.apk) to 19px, but I'm not able to repack them into a new theme.
Is there someone that can do that? I attach the images to this post, in case someone wants work on this issue...
Edit: i've repacked them into a new theme, there are probably some other icons to adjust...
Edit 01/03: other icons added
Edit 03/03: new version - gps icons fixed
Edit 08/03: this theme: Crispy Bread is more complete and resolves the same issue
Bye.
Diego.
Ok, I've just repacked it in an apk theme.
I dont know how to specify that's a LDPI theme, so choosing it theme manager pop a warn: you can do "Apply anyway" and go on.
I've actually been wondering about this blurryness myself but this certainly solves it! Works really nice
Thank you!
New version with other icons cropped.
Some icons appear gray instead of green... this update fixes it too?
Hello, I use your apk and this theme : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943423
Really nice, together it's almost perfect, but if you know well android can you help me.
I changed few things in the apk, all worked well.
But I want to make horizontal lock bar in lockscreen looks invisible (they are grey translucide in CM7).
I modified the files "jog_tab..." but nothing changed.
Have you some clue?
P.S: With the honeycomb theme the lockscreen bar looks invisible when someone is calling, it's real nice.

Uhm... the icons are extracted from framework-res.apk of the cyanogenmod 7, some of theese are gray (for example the usb or the headphone one).
This theme only fix the blur effect due to the icons scaling from 25 to 19 pixels.

[Q] Theme Q - Editing Widgetlocker Icons (Photoshop)

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

[Q]Changing cm10 icons

As the title suggests, I want to change the icons on cm10 but without using a different launcher. I use Desktop Visualizer but it doesnt change the icon anywhere other than the homescreen.
I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me on how to theme. I actually just want to add my own icons into the apk while keeping the stock theme.
Anyone?
Bump...
I think you'll have to decompile, edit, and recompile all your apks. I'm certainly no expert, but I don't think there's an easy way to change all your icons.
You could use MIUI, but I don't think you'd like changing your ROM, if you're unwilling to change launchers.
I'd rather change my launcher if thats the case
guess you cant have everything in life after all
I use icon changer. Only problem with it is that I haven't found how to zoom the icons from icon packs so they are awfully small when selecting.
Sent from my wonderful JB ParanoidAndroid Galaxy Note.
Yes i tried that too. same problem. with desktop visualizer you can hide the icon label and have it blown up so its a better option imo

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?
