**Glass Orb By ToyVan** WinterBoard Theme

[crupp]

Does anyone have a Sports icon; IE a football, Hockey or baseball theme? I have not seen one.

[Scooterpig]

I'd like to ask toyvan where do you grab the original icon image from please so it can then be modified to Glass Orb?

ie; this post

Thank you..

No, no, Thanks to you mate for making my iPhone a pleasure to look @.



Hi one question, how come below my nickname in this forum: "effele" says "What's Jailbreak?", how do I change that?

You're welcome. The more posts you make on mmi will change your "what's jailbreak" under your name automatically....so, just keep contributing to these threads

I usually find all original icons doing a google image search or just create my own with an alternative image that I also find on google images...

Thanks Scooterpig.

A few comments. The iTalk icon looks a bit 'blocky' on the curves and the text needs to stand out more or removed completely. Your icons don't seem to have the shadow effect at the top but overall a great job.

Because of the high demand for 'Glass Orb' icons can someone post a guide to making these icons using Photoshop

Thanks

Yea Geff I know mate, tried and tried with the iTalk one and struggled big time, but as I said am a beginner with them and not sure at all how to create the shadow effect that toyvan does, nor can I work out properly how to do them in Photoshop, but still learning and playing and would love a how-to from toyvan..

Hey toyvan,

Now that SBSettings is able to have it's own theme, can you develop one for it so that it matches the Glass Orb winterboard theme?

More info here if you don't know what I'm talking about....

Hmmmm, I think If I made a tutorial it will just turn something that is really simple into something nobody understands..haha ...However, I will put something together if it means I don't have to make all the icons that Cocchiararo just requested ^^^^^^..lol!

Sweet! SBSettings is one of my most used features/apps...as soon as this update is ready I'll be all over it...cheers

[Cocchiararo]

if you can provide some info/files for me to make them (not from total scratch :P ) i will be really happy xD

[toyvan]

PLEASE READ
This tutorial was made for making custom icons for my Glass Orb Color and G.O.C. Pro themes, however it still applies to this theme as well! The only step not mentioned in this tutorial is how to make the image black & white, aka 'Desaturate'...it is best to do this at the very beginning! for example, if u are making a custom icon for "OmniTuner", select it and go to Image>Adjustments>Desaturate(these options found at the top of photoshop)..this will convert ur image from color to black & white...now u can simply proceed to follow the rest of the tutorial...hope this helps! cheers

P.S. If you do make icons for this theme, please post them back here so everyone can benefit!

I love this theme. Has anyone created any categories icons. I can't seem to find any and have never used photoshop before. Guess I will give it a go with toyvans tutorial. For me categories is the only way to keep a theme complete with all the apps that are out there. Great work to everyone!!

[Cocchiararo]

ill make some icons tonight (hopefully all the ones i requested :P) and post it later.

What I think would be great is a Glass Orb themed Battery. Anyone agree?

Ohhh yeahss!! That would be sooo cool, like the glass orb with digits in it that says how many % charging with a black background... been thinking about that for a while now...
