Searching and not finding help :(

I created this theme but i want the text icons to be user defined not static so how do I create user defined icons that will only show the text in the application window?


I'm a newbie and this is my first theme

Thank you for all your help

[sunnylovesalman]

for that u will have to put text icons in the application menu too and when u r adding them in your svg , out them in device application order, so that the home carries the icons from the app menu panel,

Orelse you will have to have the same that you have created. Keep trying , the more you make themes, the more you will open with your ideas about the exposure to svg and theme building.

Thanks

Thank you so much for the prompt reply and I want to apologize my next question, it might sound a little weird but how can I put text icons in the application menu? and will that make my home screen text icons not static?
I've seen other themes and in the home screen instead of icons it shows text but they are user defined, no matter what application they have only shows text and on the application screen they have the regular icons.
I download a free theme that has that option, I have a few 3rd party applications I use and on the application screen I see the icon but on the home screen I see text only...I think I'm confusing myself already, lol, but hope you guys can give me a hand on this.
Thank you in advance

U need to have ur application icons in text format . I mean to develop text icons in Photoshop. And with Highlights , then use them in your theme and then try doing that over your homescreen.

For reference : you can check SPHERE by Hedone in Google to see the screenshots.

Thanks

But if what you want is normal icons in the application menu. But you want text icons in the Homescreen "app menu" then you have to create theme_button_1 etc in composer and add a line of text in the svg file, but that maybe to much!! If you want i can post an example!

Yes, that's exactly what i want, i have no idea how to code or anything like that, like i was saying this is my first theme and still learning a few tricks but i would really appreciate your help on this

[sunnylovesalman]

The screen that you posted if that is your theme then you are quite okay with these. Bcos the screen that you have developed proves that you have worked on SVG in composer.

Or else its impossible to make a homescreen like that.

Will post some codes tonight! Not @ home now!!

I worked in composer and still trying to understand it but never opened the SVG to change or add any codes, I have no idea how coding works

[sunnylovesalman]

it doesnt need code ....I did coding for my clock in my 60th theme today . till now i have been working on PS and Composer.

Composer allows u to do everything other than some very special effects.

You can check all my themes here without coding one single line:

.

These themes have not used any coding except my todays theme that has a large BOB clock which I made yesterday night.

Alright here we go odp!

In composer you add 9 theme buttons. I took the amount you have on the screenshot! Name them like this:

Theme_button_1

Theme_button_2

etc etc

Then when you are done with all of this add this line of code right underneath Theme_button_1 in the svg file you made:

<image id="Status_text"
x="-160"
y="98"
width="60"
height="15"
xlink:href="x-object:/EntryDescription?showname&amp;width=60&amp;height= 15&amp;font-family=Calibri&amp;font-style=plain&amp;font-size=14&amp;fill=white&amp;id=slot0&amp;align=left &amp;showinfo=center"/>


The x and y changes the position of the text on your homescreen play with that to make sure it is where you want it. The size changes the size of the text "logic".

When you change the size also change height and width to make sure it fits in there!!

Check out my code and the screenshot for further info:

<g id="Theme_Button_1"

Wow, that looks like the language I will never learn, lol. Don't know how you experts can even wrap your minds around it.

Thank you so very much for all the big help, tonight I'll try to make sense of it and follow your instructions.

@ sunylovesalman: I will check out your themes and I might steal an idea or two just playing, thank you also for your help, I would love to be able to do everything with composer w/o having to add any code or stuff like that but I think will be imposible but I'm sure I'll learn some more checking out your work. Thank you again, really appreciate your time

Haha you will learn! its not that hard! You just need to see the logical way its been build up! Understand one line of code and the rest will follow!

Goodluck!

I also had the same problem in these Alien Language but then tried one day to understand it and now it seems to be well going............
