Image grid templates for Sweeter Home

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Lemon18 comments

In Edit Mode Sweeter Home blocks align into a 16×16 grid. Due to different screen resolutions this means the actual pixel size of each grid division is different depending on the device you’re using.

To help those of you who like to create custom images for their themes, and want to get your image alignment perfect, attached are PSD (Photoshop) files with a graphical (pixel) grid on a layer as well as actual Photoshop guides already laid out for you. At the moment I’m supplying portrait only.

Note: I’m fairly sure these will open with grids included in The GIMP, which is free.

An important note: these PSD files are NOT the same size as the screen resolution of your device. But this is correct because they exclude the pixels used by the notification bar in Android.

WVGA (for 480×800)
Nexus One, Galaxy S, Desire, Desire HD, EVO etc
HVGA (for 320×480)
G1, Magic, Legend, Backflip etc
FWVGA (for 480×854)
Droid, Defy, X10 etc
QVGA (for 240×320)
X10 mini, X10 mini pro, IDEOS etc

New Site Design

Posted on January 2, 2011 by LemonLeave a comment

Hi everyone. After several days of messing around in WordPress I’ve got the new site design mostly finished. Unlike with Sweeter Home themes, I usually don’t have much of an idea of how I want things to look when messing with site designs, so luckily this one came together pretty quick. If anything’s broken please let me know. And remember: this site is for you. If there’s any extra features you’d like, just let me know.

Groupie

Posted on December 20, 2010 by Lemon11 comments

Update: added labels to icons on all trays as this was highly requested. :)

Here’s the first version of Groupie. It’s a theme loosely based around the idea of dynamic folders. I’ve used tiny Tagged Trays as the icons with Springboards sitting above them that target the larger trays. The buttons will always display the first 4 icons in your tagged tray, so if you add or remove an app from a category this will be shown in the button too.

  • Theme Resolution: 480×800 (Nexus One, Evo, Droid etc)
  • Find: Search “Groupie” or “Lemon” in the theme list
