Yes, I sure did. I can list the entire contents. Doesn't make sense. I even restarted the phone...

Ok, for some reason the skin started showing up. Weird. But, now I have a design question...

Do the numbers always appear in the same location? Is there any way to move them down? I am on an Incredible (non-rooted, so I cannot take screen shots), but the numbers are too high.

Essentially I created a background similar to a scoreboard and placed a box around where the time will be to simulate the time box of a scoreboard. But, the numbers are touching the box on the top and are too high. Can I adjust the position of them or will they always be placed on the same coordinates?

I thought I might could play with the height of the png images, but when I got to looking at the png files of other skins I noticed that they are always cropped very tightly to the digits.

looking to see if they have a skin that replicates the 2.2 clock?

Perhaps modify the clock digit images, I.e., reduce the size of the digits on its canvas a bit, then reposition them on the canvas. Just be sure to keep the actual image size within limits (i think there are dimension constraints on clock digit pngs not sure tho, I've only skinned weather icons thus far. Gl man.

What clock skin is this? I can't find it anywhere.

heres mine.

its a BW skin that goes with darkedge UI.
it comes with the theme i believe.

[mattlehrer]

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to do the whole darkedge UI.
Perhaps someone with some talent can replicate this or export it from the darkedge UI. I think the clock looks pretty cool.

its definitely possible, but i dont think they want their stuff redistributed.

What calendar app/skin/theme is that? How do you get the 'today/week' style events to show on the home screen?

Also, is Darkedge custom theme?
