My first watchfaces for Facer
White:
http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/classic-white-149fc055c0f
Black:
http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/classic-black-149fc2c4ac8
Update 1.0:
Some background tweaks..
Update 1.1:
Added white watchface with dimmed Battery Percentage. (only in dimmed state with screen on.)
Added black watchface with dimmed Battery Percentage. (only in dimmed state with screen on.)
You can replace the Battery Percentage with anything you like, and add more!
Update 1.2:
White watchface: made black stripes more black and and tweaked 12 o'clock sign for dimmed state.
Update 1.3:
Changed arrows into black stripes.
Update 1.4:
Changed the white dimmed state to the black image background.
Update 1.5:
Normal state with current temp, weather and weather icon.
And more visible and modern ambient mode.. Also better with cards notifications and nice black background..
Please let me know what you think... The arrows come from another watchface.
I prefer the white one, the black is an inverted and little bit tweaked white face.
With the black one, in dimmed state, notifications are a bit easier to read.
Unfortunately Facer isn't showing the notifications as on the stock watchfaces at the moment..

Love the white one.. think it's gonna be on my wrist for a while!
Thanks for the time and effort you have put into this!
suggestion.. mute symbol, even if just when dimmed.
Changed the white dimmed state to the black image background. Now you can see the mute and other icons..
I think its not possible to change the icon/card colors from wear within facer.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, love that little tweek.. a lot easier to see when dimmed and those icons now visible.. great stuff!!
some times takes a few seconds to change when dimmed.. but not that I'm staring at my new watch all of the time
Thanks dude!

Good question: you have to buy the app called Facer from the Playstore..

I see the API is released, our about to be, don't know if this is any use to you but i look forward to the new faces for our watch.. hope to see more from you :good:
sadfaces
so apparently facer is updated for new API (GW5) and SW3 is still on old software aka not compatible. uber sadfaces.
What do you guys think?
Normal state with current temp, weather and weather icon.
And more visible and modern ambient mode.. Also better with cards notifications and nice black background..

This wasn't my question but I think this is a Facer question. If you have AW5.0.1 on your watch you have to choose the "Facer on Android Wear 5" watchface. Then you are using the new API...

Is it possible to create something like that:
And change the bottom sphere with battery and inside the sphere put the weather. Thanks a lot. If not I'll try to clean the watch face.
Sure it's possible but seems to have some work with PhotoShop.. But it's a nice watch for our Swr50. Maybe I'll digg into it when I have some spare time. Or do it together? Do you have a high res pic straight from the top?
Otherwise you can design it yourself vector based. But i think PhotoShop is more like the easy way...
It's worth a try...

Finally got it fully working, first hours of PhotoShop then correcting the hands and code! 1 days hard work.. I must say I'm very happy with it, it looks cool. Screenshots below made with Wear app..
Soon on facer. Never ask again if I can do it [emoji35]
Battery and weather included...
What the hell??? You are amazing!!!!
OK, the version I first upload it's not the same that you are working on it, maybe this version is easier to work with it.
I tried (and still working on it, but I have no Photoshop, so I'm working with GIMP, and I'm learning as I use it) to make a pure black/white (and red for Sunday indicator) version.
I'm on it, but its difficult to me. But maybe it's better solution for dimmed version too.
The idea... insert weather into the bottom circle (or digital clock), use the bottom white circle as battery indicator, still need to clear/clean other 3 spheres an "repair" them.
And try to rescue the clock hands as real as I can. And the last thing, try to get better bottom line numbers, the others seems fine.
Feel free to use it as you want. I need more time to do that, but I'll try if nobody do it before.
And sorry, my English is not as good as I want.
EDIT: Clean/Clear top Sphere added (I have to improvise, because it has 31 points, and it's difficult to get it 100% real)
EDIT 2: added the original one, and another point of view (but it's not good to use it for the face)
EDIT 3: Centre Hands added (valid for center-right, center-left, and top sphere)

Nice work dude! Your background works with my face too. Even the hands are the same settings..
Maybe you can adjust the letters "SU" a bit more bright. I think the minute and hour hands in white will be hard to read and possibly need a bit more contrast. My Edifice face is a bit hard to read to..
I will PM send you my facer file. And one with your background..
We keep in touch...

Hey all.
For a while now I've been tinkering around with icons and wallpapers and stuff for Android and the G1/Dream, but I've never put it all together to make a theme of my own.. so I thought I'd change that. I'm calling this theme MonoChrome 1.0, and it is currently ADP1 and RC30 compatible.
Have an ADP1 or RC30 and wanna try the theme out? You'll find the download links and instructions near the bottom of this post.
** UPDATE 01/19/2009: All the default system icons added, wallpaper/dock tweaked, changed a few transparency settings. New screenshots below. **

The Market icon, you mean? Yeah, I agree, the droid needs to be a few shades darker. I'll fix that later on tonight, or tomorrow.
Oh and thanks for the input, it's very valuable because you tend to stare yourself blind on your own theme.
No the market icon looks alright. I was talking about that white shade behind the icons at the bottom of the screen. I think it is a little to white. It looks perfect in the top picture but for some reason in the bottom it looks to white. I am not sure why since it is the same picture. You might not need to do anything to it. It just pulls my eyes off the icons into the negative space of the background.

Ah, now I get it. I could try to make the "dock" slightly darker. I'll try that, it's like a two minute job, tops.
**edit**
How does this look? I decreased the luminance and added a bit more texture instead.
the darker "dock" looks a lot better imo. btw great looking theme. i was never too fond of all the other themes so this might be my first theme i install. also, not sure if you would be willing to or if anyone else agrees, since the theme is dark i think colored icons with the same black background you have now would look awesome.

The darker dock does look better, I'll stick with that one. As for your icon request, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you elaborate a bit?

Ah, I see. Well that's pretty nice actually, though bright colors are not for me; I tend to prefer the desaturated look. However, as soon as I release this theme people are free, encouraged even, to modify and improve on it as they see fit.
looks amazing, can't wait for this
OP updated with new screenshots. Icons added, graphics tweaked.
Looking good! And I love seeing you guys use my theme as a building block, it really is an honor.
I owe my thanks to Stericson for helping me create my first theme and letting me use his theme as a building block for mine.
Great. This is the best theme I've seen yet.
Download links and instructions added to the first post of the thread, for those of you wanting to try it out. Compatible with ADP1 only as of now.

That's a good question. I am not sure, but I figure I will have to transfer all the custom png's from my ADP1 theme to the correct RC30 apk's. I might do that tomorrow if I feel up to it.
Awesome
I love it great work i hope you continue. thanks
i'll test this for RC30 and i'll let you know it goes
edit: so far it's working perfectly!
the only thing i've noticed is the notifications pane background isn't transparent like in the screenshots, but i can live with that
also, can you upload the background you used in the screenshots please? the theme didn't come with it.

Oh, sweet! I did the port last night when I was so tired I didn't know what I was doing, so it's nice to hear it's working on RC30 too. Thanks for trying it out.
Here's the wallpaper.
8:55PM 02-09-09
I made this up with photoshop, but all of the files are packed and ready to go... this is just to show everyone my work.... my first attempt at installing the theme was unsuccessful, so i cant post an update as of yet (UPDATE coming real soon!!) Hope this is something that is likeable for any who was looking for red.
1:05AM 02-11-09
I got the theme past tmobile g1 screen, i attached the new screenshot to show a sample icon as well as the menu tab and clock for version 1. Continuing with the rest of the icons and files. Release is looking closer, well sooner
3:00AM 02-11-09
Icons loaded, but need resizing AGAIN!!! damnit... made icon color brighter add a gloss to all icons and made the clock more transparent
12:11PM 02-12-09
I created a mockup of what my version 2 of the red theme will look like, screenshot on page 2... if you check closely i resized the "Alarm Clock" image, this is as large as i can get the icons without exposing the square dimension limit, which would cut off the embroidery design around the icons... untill i find a new solution i can post the small icons and the slightly larger icons in 2 updates... depending on feedback
3:10PM 02-13-09
After many trials of finding a legitimate icon size, i finally found something that keeps the design around the button visible.. uintill i can figure out what looks better, but Version 2 will be coming SOON.. then more updates within the system icons and clocks etc... download and rename to update.zip, turn off phone, hold HOME + POWER and then Alt + S. Should have a red boot screen!! HAS BEEN TESTED BY ME
3:28PM 02-20-09
Updated this theme to be compatible with JFv1.42, if you wish to update your theme, just recheck the download links
What I did:
Took the wallpaper from teknotiq's theme and added more red in it...
Changed every stock icon on RC33, as far as Alarm Clock - Youtube..
Added my custom menu tab, sorry thats not meant to be arrow... it wont switch and point down
Changed the status bar to have more red and black
What I could have done:
-light red icons
- clear center icons (red outlining)
- black outter, inner red glow icons
- different wallpaper (UPDATED)
***credit to dryicons.com for the icons, via deviantart.com
Updates:
-status icons, unlock screen, possibly some .9pngs, and more inner functional icons changed to red
RC33 JF v1.42 compatible
New Screenshots - UPDATED 02-13-09 - VERSION 1

im shooting for this week, for at least the initial drop, then more tweaks over the weekend... if i don't feel lazy ill try to drop numerous versions with of this theme with different clocks....
then later on i might switch up the icons, same look, but maybe the middle is cut out and clear, or the red would be a lighter red, or idk

Ohio weather sucks! go from snow to freezing ice to rain to tornado in less than a week.... why did i come here??? lol
here is one last wallpaper type, i was thinking with all of the black and red i could make SAW3-6 theme... lol but i found this bloody keyboard so i thru this together, still working on the red theme, almost there now... id say a day or two
check out the clock transparency...!!
wow, i think i timed the screenshot at the half second between the two clocks... cus they shud be identical right?
menu tab is clear (er) than it seems, when on screen
wow this is really nice, red is my favorite color too, keep it up
as i was working i stumbled along what i want to set as version 2, hopefully of many if i have tha time... but my look is for the same red theme, but for those of you that would enjoy clear icons... well "cookie-cut-out" icons..
check out of the mockups.. one shows u my edits, made by PicSay via G1
theme released and posted on first page, today...
post feedback and suggestions
i like this theme is it compatible with JFV1.43 ADP1.1H???
This is a theme derived from mannyb's idea for a "black" edition of his Glossy Minimalism theme here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478183
The initial concept is all his idea, I'm just doing some of the legwork since he's a busy fellow .
The idea is that we'd love to see more dark based themes, but the only (notification bar) clock colors that we know we can do are black and red (If that's wrong, someone let me know,) so we're basing this theme on a red and black theme.
Here is the concept image:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Let me know what you think of the concept or what you'd like to see.
EDIT:
Current Status:
- Changed gradient at top to be better
- Made notifications white (Weatherbug is its own deal)
- Redid the battery meter to be more accurate
- Created network (EDGE, 3G, G) icons. They look nice I think.
What I don't like (Of what's actually been touched):
- The meters hardly fade, I will need to increase the potency of that gradient
- I need to know how to arrange icons on the right to my preference. Does anyone know if this is possible? The vibrate symbol makes it look goofy atm.
As always, feedback is much appreciated.
A note: I will be on vacation in NYC until next Thursday (4-2) so expect no progress on this theme in the mean time. We'll consider it an Alpha field test
Also, can anyone point me in the right direction for a red clock xml edit?
Wow great job I love the notification idea.. expand on this, this may turn out really nice!
You should do the icons in the same color as the clock, we are lacking different looks color wise on here! Great start man
I love this idea! I would prefer a medium dark blue rather than red...
But, I LOVE the transparent clock and the way your doing up the notification bar is awesome!

I agree, I'd love to see a dark blue, but as far as I know, the only colors the notification clock can be are black and red. nobody has found out how to make it any color we want yet. :-/
I would like to see a little bit different clock so that it doesn't look exactly like glossy minimalism. Maybe one that isnt clear so that the red doesnt darken up against a black background.
But I do agree that we need one that is black with red so we can take advantage of the red clock font.
Clock
I think you should leave the clock black, or offer a version with a black clock. IMO, the red just takes away from the conformity of the theme.
Otherwise, great job!
P.S. ADP 1.1h? Please? Pretty Please?

I agree. I think the clock will end up being black.
When the theme is ready for beta testing I will package it into ADP1.1 RC9 and RC33 (JF verisons, obv). I will be doing nightly updates with what I have so far. As it stands, I'm a little bit uneasy with .9.pngs and modifying the .xmls, but I plan on tackling those over the weekend.
Im likin it the way it is actually. At first I thought the red might be too wierd but I think its quickly growing on me, its very slick looking. Ill be interested to see what you do with icons. IMO tehyd look better in black grey contrasts without any red in there. Maybe glossy lookings too?.
EDIT: OH it might be cool to have icons look like little round buttons. Like have icons on a round black background and shiny. Hmmm...
EDIT AGAIN: Wow... my internet musta been running real slow cuz i def didnt see the screenshot of the icons you have up there. Haha yaaaa I like em : )
DUDE YOU ROCK... This has been one of my favorite themes of all time and now its going to be in Black, can't wait...
About the RED FONT??? Where are the edits for changing that, I'm building a theme that would so Rock if I had the font in red...

That's a good question. I haven't gotten to that point yet. I actually still don't know how to do any xml edits :-/ It might be best to ask someone who has done it.
I love what you did with the notification bar..
Are you still working on this?
Yes, I am still working on it. I'm working on some notification icons that are actually visible and then learning how to do XML edits. If anyone does know how to do XML edits, specifically changing the clock to red, could they let me know?
Latest update:
I seem to have managed to turn my theme into a brick. Every time I flash it, I get stuck on the "G1" screen. I made some changes to an image, packed it up and flashed it, which gave me the error, so when I went back and reverted the changes then repacked it, I still got the error. I'm really confused at this point, so bear with me while I try to figure it out. Thanks a ton to mannyb for making a rock solid glossyminimalism update that I can always revert to.
Status, though:
I have all notification icons done (aside from some weird ones like airplane mode) and am working on XML edits and menus in the rest of the phone.
Have you made sure to compress all your edited PNG's as much as possible, using a program such as PNGOUTWin for example? When the combined increases in file size (a kB here and there, it adds up) hits critical mass the phone will loop/brick during boot. PNGOUTWin will cut the file size of most small PNG's created in Photoxhop in half, or down to a third. Sometimes down to a tenth even.

That would have been my problem. I added a rather large popup_dark_full.9.png along with replacements for all the EDGE, 3G and G network data indicators. I have been watching my framework-res.apk slowly increase in size, and was wondering if that was a bad thing. Turns out it is Thanks.

Get PNGOUTWin and you'll be set. http://www.ardfry.com/pngoutwin/
Great program, well worth the 15 bucks. There's a free full feature 30 day trial version too. You're gonna want to buy it though, it's that good

Dang, it really is a great program. The trial version only lets you do 20 images at a time, but that's not too bad. I just shrunk my entire framework-res by a considerable amount. Awesome.

It really is amazing. You can of course use it on the default/unedited Android PNG's too (not just your own edits) to save even more space, but I recommend that you stay away from the .9.png ones with this tool.

PNGGauntlet is a free alternative that works VERY well in my opinion. I actually found it from a graphic artist who does mobile game artworks and he swears by it. It works out really well. Go for it if you don't want to pay the $15.
We all know Windows Phone 7 doesn't have custom wallpapers for the homescreen, however it does have custom wallpaper for the lockscreen.
The lock screen of course displays metro stylized textual information.
This information has a nasty tendency to move around based on how much information it needs to display. However, if you have a scheduled event always on your calendar with a locational field filled - this information rarely if ever moves beyond these defined limits. As such, we can stylize wallpapers around this information.
[Provided you always have something scheduled between now and the next 48 hours]
So here I am looking to be a Wallpaper repository, but then also a collection of lockscreen wallpaper based off the data template.
Some of you may have seen the post on Pocketnow about the lockscreen wallpaper with data segmentation in mind. Someone on there requested I make a thread here so I did.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This goes around the set data on the WP7 lockscreen and looks pretty dang good. So I'd like to post this template up so others can build much better wallpapers than me off a similar concept now that they have set coordinates.
Also, you can post your normal lockscreen wallpapers as well.
Every other device has a repository but I'd like for this one to be WP7 centric.
This is how it looks on my Samsung Focus
[http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/4377/justblack.png here is a link to the one with I <3 Windows Phone]
Here are the various theme base colours from WP7
Lime 140 190 41
Brown 156 81 0
Pink 230 113 181
Orange 239 150 8
Blue 25 162 222
Red 230 20 0
Green 49 154 49
Magenta 255 0 148
Purple 164 0 255
Teal 0 170 173
These are the theme colour values directly from the system, however, keep in mind that Windows Phone 7 applies an 80% filter to the images when they are set as your wallpaper. As such, colours posted like those on the left, appear on your device as the block on the right.
In order to balance out this effect, use a RGB Multiplier of 1.25x so when WP7 applies the 80% filter you can match the proper colours.
So please, post your wallpaper designs. Either something based off the template or entirely new or something WP7 related.
Note for posting: Try and show your wallpaper but also attach as a ZIP if possible - that way, users can set it directly from their phones!
Please try to only post if you have a Wallpaper - these threads get disgustingly large so please try to only post to contribute

Not really, if youve got no meeting in your calendar the information is out of space.

Duly noted, that is not actually something I have run into as I always have something on the calendar either the current day or the next day. I will update the thread accordingly.
GeoLuminations
Introducing GeoLuminations
Works with any combination of calendar events, unread emails, etc! Choose either the version that has the double square at the bottom (as seen in the real-life picture) or the single square. That simply frames the notifications a bit more.
Updated on 11/11/2010 to not cut off long calendar appointments.
Enjoy!
looks good THX
Great work, can I suggest not trying to enclose the calendar area? To the right hand side of the calendar, text will flow over and off the right hand side of the page. Will all the templates so far calendar test flows over the edge and looks a little messy. If you have short text in the calendar it looks okay.

Ah yeah I see what you're saying. I'll update my GeoLocations to fix that, check my original post in an hour from now and I should have it updated (I won't post when I update it so I don't clutter the thread too much). Thanks for the suggestion!
@ace10134
Well done.
Light background
Hello
Very nice work of you guys indeed. Might I suggest to provide versions for the light background too? Maybe there are others beside me who use that one
I hope I named the background right, just having access to the german WP7.
Cheers

Thanks for the good work guys, as an aside, what a welcome relief to see a thread that does soemthing useful for WP7 users as opposed to whingeing about Wp7 not being WM6.5!

I use the light theme on my phone, but I believe that the lockscreen must always be a dark color, since no matter what your theme is, the text on the lockscreen is white. The text would be invisible on a white lockscreen background!
Here's mine.
I just posted it in the Generel XDA Thread., but can anybody point me to or post the original zune hd lock screen picture?
It looks like this:

I think it would fit perfectly to our WP7s

I agree, it would look quite snazzy for the WP7s out there.
New Lockscreen Theme - White Background/Red Highlight
This is a theme for the white background users! I can make it in all the colors available as a theme in WP7 (including for black backgrounds) but it would be a lot easier if I could get emulator screenshots of the different theme colors.
Nevertheless, here's the lockscreen for the white background + red highlight theme! It works really well with the device!!
Here's the Lockscreen file, view it from your phone and right click (long hold) it, then save it to your phone.
So, I found some nice "Legs" images and formatted them to fit the Windows Phone 7 screen. All in all...pretty nice
I may be going to Hell...but I accept it
And a few more, just for good measure

I'm no artist, but I know how the resize button works.
Heres the resized wallpaper from my Zune HD.
Nice stuff guys!
I ended up making a few when I could. They are just cropped images I found.
pretty much got most of it done, but not sure what the new weather codes are but it think i may have got them right, so that is why this is beta... please test for me in ur location and let me know if a code is wrong, just state what the condition is and the weather icon it is giving u. Thank you
This gives u time of day moving Sun and Moon changing light to dark and real weather icons
UPDATE!!!! (re dowload same file)
Added black shadown on battery, temp, and clock
added sunrise and sunset icon's and time
fixed some background issues and time

i don't think watchmaker will work u have to use Facer, watchmaker will not allow for the background changes, i have already tried that, thats why i had to put [FACER], i get the same error when trying to use watchmaker

Hi all when I put this on facer it does not show the hi or lo temps or current weather it only shows the hash codes #WCT# #WCCT# ect I have the latest firmware on watch but don't yet have lollipop on phone is this the reason why?

I don't have Lollipop on phone and it works fine for me. Are you using Facer?

It may have to do with facer, i had yhe same issues prior to lolipop
Figured it out on my watch I have a legacy mode and a lollipop mode, I selected the other mode because I didn't think I should use lollipop as I have not got it on my phone yet.
Working flawlessly, this is perfect for me in Sydney Australia. Will be keeping my eye on this thread!
Can't port it to watchmaker I hate using facer app never loads the faces...in facet it's just a black screen.

Lol I had the same issues with watchmaker... I could not send they faces to my watch
I had sent my images pashka79 and they are going try to make a watchmaker version
Thanks for this mate it really is good. Can you tell me why my location is wrong? (About 5 miles out) All location details are correct in other apps that use it. Is there a way I can change it?
Unfortunately I can't bc that would be a facer issues
Just got my 360 today and put this on Facer. I keep on getting Errol where the location should be. Everything else looks right but that. There is no Errol around me. I have a Nexus 5 5.1 and Moto 360 5.0.2, Any suggestions?
This is my favorite watchface -- well done.
It would be cool if there was a way to overlay the weather effects to my own picts. I could do something like show my house with snow or rain.
