Here we go. People have been asking how I make these screens.
Truth is, I used to do them just like everyone else, until I
myself had the guts to ask someone else how THEY did it, and
they were kind enough to share the details how. So here I am,
spreading the details. First things first, download this file
That is the link to a zip file. (Btw you will need photoshop
if you want this to work.) Inside that folder, is a psd file
and another file. Open the other file, and it should load in
photoshop as a set of actions. There are more there than you
actually need. Then, using ddms, take a screenshot. (You can
use a different program, but it has to take screenshots using
the full 800x480 resolution.) Then copy and paste the screens
into the psd file, which you should open, by the way. Then go
and open the actions file (use google if you don't know about
ddms or actions) and use "Resize Nexus One". That will take
your screenshot and warp it to fit in the phone. Then, if you
like, you can do resize image, which makes it a bit smaller
and more manageable. The ones inbetween there, you can fool
around with.

Widgets used in this shot:- Weather Widgets by Pixelspore- Clockr Evolution- SMS Unread Count (Mod)
Other stuff:
Suave Revolution icons
Wallpaper can be found in the Dropbox (2nd collection)
LauncherPro Plus with a 9x10 grid
I re-align all my widgets utilizing the resize feature in LauncherPro Plus
Yeah. I haven't gotten into the whole iPhone look but I did the SMS Unread Mod and the app drawer just felt like it fit in. It's very minimal but it looks pretty, though. You can find the SMS Unread Count Mod in the Dropbox > Apps > SMS Unread Mod > Choose yours ;) I'm using the Suave Mod in this shot.
[SS]Metaphor
Sorry for the wretched name, couldn't think of a good one.
Okay, now this is tricky. So. Widgets are tricky now. Lol.
But the order goes thusly. When overlapping widgets, the
first one placed goes to the top, whilst the last one placed
is ordered to the bottom. It's backwards from what I think
it should be logically. So here are the widgets, and place
them in the order I list them:
Analog Clock (I used the stock MIUI one, but Analog Clock Collection has some nice ones.)
Smooth Calendar (Hide Calendar Icon and Transparent Background, white text)
Beautiful Weather 4x1 (Dharma Skin - hide background and current weather)
SiMi Clock (It makes up the black bar - remove the date)
Wallpaper can be found at visual/wallpaper/1st collection/Lighted Wall
So, on my 10 x 10 grid, bear with me.
This is going to be step by step. OMG.
Step One. After the widgets are on your screen,
and configured, it's time to place them.
Make Smooth Calendar 1x4 (you should only see one item listed)
and move it to the fifth row. (move to the top, and move it down by one notch.
Put beautiful Weather directly underneath that, but make it 5x1 instead
Resize Smooth Calendar down over Beautful Widgets. The date text and the calendar text should overlap, but the calendar should be on top. It is hard to read but bear with me.
Take Simi Clock and resize it to fit off to the left and then resize it over smooth calendar, but only down halfway through the weather, so the bottom hangs off.
(Make it 1x3, move it to the fourth row to the left, then resize it all the way to the right
and resize it down one.)
Now take your analog clock, and place it right above simi clock all the way to the left. Resize it to 4x4 over the digital clock. That should hide Simi clock and it should be just a bar.
Well. That was more than I shall ever type in a post ever again. Gahhhh.

Hey Guys!
I am a new writer here on ColormeAndroid, that brings the total count to three! My name is Arland Whitfield from ArlandReview.com and I am 17 years old. I just recently got into the Android Scene with my pride and joy, my Droid X. In the short amount of time I have had my Droid X (about half a year) I have absorbed as much information as possible about the Android community (Which is much better then the iOS community imho).
Anyway you guys are dedicated and it inspired me to start my own blog. ArlandReview.com was born! There I talk about everything android, but as of late I started focusing the the themeing and modification it. That is what brought me here. Having seen Hollywoods amazing screenshots I knew I wanted to get in contact with him. Shortly after he invited me to work on his blog.
So here I am! It has all been a blur and I hope it flys by as fast as it has because I can't seem to get enough of you guys!

Add Clockr and Beautiful Widgets first and Smooth Calender last.
If not the background will completely overlap Clockr and Beautiful Widgets.
If you don't have a 9x10 grid I don't know how it will look with the dock and Smooth Calender. I had to change the size of the dock many times before it came out right.
The Smooth Calender and SMS Unread Count Mod are located in the Dropbox:

So I'm in love with this song by Bruno Mars,
featuring Damian Marley, Liquor Store Blues.
So I had some fun with simple text and LPP
and a crapton of resizing and positioning to
get it to look sleek. Haha

and size it slighly over weather,
to where the 'mon tue' is over
the bottom line of the calendar.
Then throw SiMi clock, with full
opacity. Yay! I like it.

Blank for a while..
Sorry there hasn't been any posts recently. Its been really hectic where I live, and there hasn't been much time to do...much of anything really. Some extra people have moved in, so now there are 7 people living in this 2 bedroom apartment. Needless to say, its hard to make my way to the computer. Someone even sleeps in my chair. So sorry all. I have been trying to keep up with comments and tweets using my phone. I will be uploading a blue sweatshirt wall later today, simply by downloading the pink one and using picsay pro to change some colors. I would post screens, using drocap2, but I couldn't make them pretty without Photoshop. And, someone has plugged my keyboard into the bloody Xbox. Sorry, just noticed that. Anyways, cheers, and enjoy the site, I will most likely upload a screen later, but without any...Photoshop magic. Ciao!

Fits me perfectly. Out of the box it looks like any AOSP but Gas is currently
making a framework that'll work for Oxygen. I'm 'beta testing' it now.
In this shot I'm using the following widgets:

SiMiClock and Smooth Calender
The dock along with wallpaper can be found in the Dropbox.
The wallpaper is in the 2nd Collection. It's originally by Mikkolini over at dA
The font I'm using is called "Antipasto". I'm using LauncherPro with 9x10 grid
I use 9x10 because icons etc align better on secondary screens

So the objective here was to get as MUCH
information as possible into as SMALL of

up with. This also doubles as a challenge,
I am curious to see how much info you can
get into a small place and still have it
look...decent.
