Icons

[daydayvol]

This is probably in the wrong thread but do I have to have the android dev pack to make my own icons? I have tried to use photoshop and have been successful in the style I want but it always puts a white background behind them even when it is a transparent on photoshop.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum!! I cannot answer your question but wanted to say "welcome" and enjoy..

Once you get those icons completed, definitely post and show off your work...

Prob could have been posted in themes but check out what garemlin did ask home some questions he is more familiar with making icons.

Here is the link to the thread by Garemlin with his custom icons...definitely shoot him a PM, I know he can get ya started and I will move this thread into the theme area...

I think if you save them as a .png file with a transparent background it should work. I'm just looking at some custom icons I downloaded.

I tried that and it still does the same thing and has a white background.

You can adjust the opacity of the image by layer in Photoshop. I just did this yesterday to make a semi-transparent dock. In the screenshot below the Opacity is 85% where 100% is completely solid and 0% is completely transparent.
