+1 to that. But in the meantime, Lou, when/where will you be posting your icons?

I'm out of town visiting friends. When I get back I'll post what I have and take requests for others.

use folder organizer. you can create a shortcut to any app and give it a custom icon. then add that to your car dock home screen.
Also, I think it might take 2x2 widgets. I know car dock v2 takes 2x1 widgets.

here's another cool thing. I added the camera app to car dock v2, drilled a whole in my car dock and create a nifty dash cam.

Pretty cool, i thought of doing this myself as well, now that i've seen it i think i may give it a whirl.

The Car Dock v2 dev has another pretty cool app that might be useful for the Car Dock: Media Keys - Android app on AppBrain

Since it can sometimes be hard to hit the music player control button you want while in the car, you can add these as shortcuts to the large-button car dock icon spots for widget-like music control from your Car Dock home screen.

I also put them in a (FolderOrganizer) folder on my normal home screen so that I can just open the folder to control music instead of taking up 4x1 widget space on my normal home screen -- plus it's actually an upgrade from the stock music widget since you can go to the previous track with one of the buttons, too.

Okay all, I apologize for the delay! Here are the icons:

app_home.png


app_places.png


app_phone.png


app_navigation.png


app_maps.png


app_handcent_sms.png


app_wireless_tether.png


app_grooveshark.png


app_pandora.png


app_soundhound.png


These are all that I currently have, though I plan on making more soon--which I'll of coarse add here.

In order to use them, you must upload them to sdcard/ig88carhome. If you do not have this folder, you must make one. If you would like these to work with other apps, you must rename them accordingly. For instance, I use Handcent instead of the stock messenger. If you want to use my icon for the stock messenger, you must rename it to app_messaging.png. Also, if you plan on using my SoundHound icon, you must rename it to app_soundhound_∞.png (my ftp client would not let me upload it with ∞ in the name).

Beautiful, thanks!

Would like to see something for 'contacts' and 'music' those are the only 2 that I use that you don't have.

Analog clock widget also looks really good in the view from car dock v2

Those are fantastic. I second the Voice Search request, and would like to see Gmail as well.
