Another different idea (I like to try different things, not to improve previous ones :P )
The idea of this design is ‘different homes’
Colors may change. (sorry for the poor quality of the lightning…and lines in general. Made from mobile)
Had some free time here at work and was just goofing around.
Had some free time here at work and was just goofing around. I don’t have the time to tweak colors and try new stuff with it right now and the quality is crap for what a good icon would be. Plus the edges are junk and a list of other stuff. Was done on paint.net first time using it compared to Gimp or Photoshop is quite different.
I ended up kinda liking it or at least the idea of it even though I personally would love to see an LLX icon that didn’t have the home and had a very unique lightning bolt that could be used in backgrounds and custom icons for the default theme.
]]>From Pierre Hébert post:
“…this (LL) is some kind of toolbox to create a home screen…”
Toolbox, material design, house but not a house…
First I thought about adding a paint brush, a screwdriver or even a wench, but I didn’t like the effect. That’s why I added that android icon.
The other one tries to be the ‘scripting’ feature…tries.
This is another point of view for the icon discussion. Keep the idea (a toolbox and stickers) but not the picture itself (I made it entirely with my mobile phone…not bad I must admit )
As usual, this can make you think and gave ideas to other possibilities.
As I already said here (https://plus.google.com/115366157037831519359/posts/7s8cfsctRx8) I’d prefer a grey Topbar in…
What do you think?
Quick question…is there a repository of old versions of LLX?..seems the new versions arent displahing images very…
Talking of designs…
Have a look at the horizontal lines and the scrollbar in these 3 menu views.
Pierre Hébert is this intended as it is, or is it just broken?
Another thing: I like the grey Top bar in the Android settings (4.4) and also the little Arrow to go back on the left of the icon in this bar.
So I have some down time here at work and although I don’t have access to any photo editing software I figured a…
Very few actually have houses and the ones that do are very similar to each other for the most part. I did only grab a few of the more popular ones but there are a ton out there honestly. Some of my personal favorites out of this bunch are the ones that don’t actually have a home. LLX is SOO much more then a home replacement so I think the logo should show that kind of mentality.
Those interested in something different might also just Google “winamp logo” and check some of those out. There are a bunch of variations on that logo out there that might help spark some ideas on a way to use a lightning bolt in new ways.
Follow up (yes, again, I am slow…)
Some time ago Josh Gray posted about the app icon and suggested a new one, then it has been discussed a few times the days after (https://plus.google.com/u/0/113418323387583377848/posts/2QmQqNLuzwn). As for myself, my preference goes to the one from Viggo Jorgen , the red one : https://plus.google.com/u/0/101399775307387148827/posts/ZfQDWFVK536.
I will always appreciate and be grateful for such initiatives and work.
Still, I am always cautious about modifying the main icon because it has far more implications that one would initially think 🙁 I would like to know the feeling of this community: what about refreshing the icon, which version do you prefer ?

Some time ago TrianguloY posted about a possible public community (https://plus.google.com/u/0/105066926163073195690/posts/6wxuXfvjGoX).
I am rather favorable to this idea, and this community is now up and alive: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109017480579703391739.
Although that I am not sure of what all the consequences will be, I think this is a very welcomed thing for most users that are looking for help or hints and don’t wish to join and wait to be accepted.
In a nutshell this new community is dedicated to announcement, screen sharing and miscellaneous discussion , while this one is now more focused on beta testing, bug report and feature suggestion.
I would like to emphasize on the fact that these are “orientations”. Everyone willing to keep their post private can continue to post here and if you prefer to show you stuff to a wider audience, head for the public community.
Let’s see how it goes!
