Hi,
the idea for the scout icon was inspired by this image:



I like this "card" view and wanted to make an icon for
scout which looks similiar to this, but with the icons
for contacts, conversations and calendar.

regards
nicolai

Hey Q, awesome work as always!

You wouldn't have a plain 512 of that aluminum-look disk would you?

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Don't wanna be stepping on anyones toes (Qosmio, pardon me if I am) but here you go mate, a plain 512 *.png-24 with the brushed steel look.

Would have dropped the original *.psd on here but it exceed file limits and I can't access my webby through FTP from work

Maybe a stupid question, but care to share? and how did you do this exactly?

Sure thing, I used the Queen Beecon widget

Ok, (before i start it's very handy to have WinSCP and openSSH installed, otherwise just use USB connection to transfer stuff to phone, also note this can be quite time consuming but it is easy).

Lets say you want to add your contacts as a large icon on the desktop:

1. install Queen beecon widget from Appmanager
2. Install istyle light theme from appmanager
3. download this icon pack (contains some stolen and some i created myself)
4. extract those icons to images/queen_beecon_dir folder
5. go to the desktop, tap on screen, add new widget> queen beecon widget
6. have this page handy, you need to copy this to your phones clipboard without changing anything:

6. now for the repetitive part. so tap and hold on your Queen beecon desktop widget until you see the little wrench icon.
7. now on the right hand side is a button that says 'Advanced' tap it, and say Yes to the warning
8. scroll down, to the bottom of this screen, there will be a blank white box, choose 'Paste clipboard to buffer' and then select 'Import Buffer to beacon' button.







9. choose YES
10. a successful message should appear.



11. next, wait a few seconds and the configure widget menu will reappear. so, choose the size of the icon (156 wide and 156 high) and scroll down until you see qbw-contacts.png and change it to contacts.png



12. next, you need to remove any text thats appearing over the icon, you will see a few boxes that say 'Position: top right' etc so select each one and manually change it to 'hidden' EXCEPT for the one beside the contacts.png image, if you change this, your icon will not appear.

also tick the box that says 'Hide background'


13. Then select save and run to test your widget.

Rinse and repeat!

Sorry these are rushed instructions and those screens are robbed, but if you need any more help just ask. or see this thread

Icons here..sorry couldn't attach them all because of filesize limits, if you need a specific icon let me know.

@dandiesel
You know all those extra steps to configure the widget (dimensions,image properties etc.) need not be done manually.If you had saved those settings on your device and afterwards exported the widget, then it would have saved all of us the trouble since it would have been included in the import buffer already.
Nice work though, appreciated
