Round 2 HD (inverse) Now available!
Finally! Round 2 HD (inverse) icons are here! I tweaked the colors just a tiny bit so, naturally, I have decided to re-do the original Round 2 icons, so stand by for a huge update to that theme as well. :)

Coming Soon, Minimo Icon Pack
For the past month or so, I have been working hard on a new icon set. One that I could be proud of. As I type this, I have 95 icons done, and according to feedback have decided to release them once I hit one hundred, with updates to follow. My challenge was to get one hundred icons and the coding done before I head to Las Vegas for CES and I am happy to announce that "Minimo Icon Pack" will hit the Play Store tomorrow or the next day! I'm super excited for more feedback and, of course, icon requests. :)
Congrats to jneffekt over at mycolorscreen.com for naming the pack and winning a free copy. :)
Note: sorry but no free version of this icon pack will be available.
How to make your own e-book widget.
First thing is first. You need covers for your books on your sd card. You can use the original artwork that came with the book, or you can visit a couple of websites dedicated to this sort of thing. Another alternative is firing up your image editor of choice (I use Photoshop and Illustrator) and make some of your own. Which is fun in and of itself, if you ask me.
Once you have your covers on your sd card, go to the Play Store and download Desktop Visualizer(DV) and Aldiko Book Reader. (This effect is more than likely possible with other readers as well.)
Now just add a widget to your homescreen in the usual fashion, selecting a vertical 1x3 widget. (try other sizes or "re-sizing" if it doesn't look right.) Tap the widget frame bringing you to the DV page. For the icon, you guessed it, choose a cover from your sd card by tapping the icon button and selecting "image file".
For the action, select "other" from the list. This brings up another list, select your reader of choice and then select your book. Back at the DV page, under the label, hit the clear button. Now scroll down and select touch effect, then press none. (or use a color provided, if you like.) Finally, tap "ok" and you're good to go.
Remember, the size of the widget depends on your launchers grid. (unless you use ss launcher or the like)
Re-size and even edit them if needed. Send me an email if have any troubles and I will help out wherever possible. Like, if you need some editing done or have a request for a cover.
I'll post a video walkthrough soon for all of you visual learners....is that even a word?
New weather icon set (teaser)
New project, my weathercons were kind of an underground hit, so I decided to make a follow up set. This is a WORK IN PROGRESS! I have no idea when the final product will be ready for release. Don't ask. :) When I am finished, however, there will be over 40 icons. (yeah) and will be released using the standard creative commons license.
