See the file for instructions on writing a shader. 8.-To put icons in the ADW Icon pack to be used in ADW.Launcher, just edit the res/values/icon_pack.xml file and add lines like the following one: <item>png_finelane_no_extension</item> One line per icon to be shown in the icon pack. Use only images, not xml drawables. EXAMPLES: res/drawable/icon1.png --> <item>icon1</item> res/drawable-hdpi/my_cool_icon.png --> <item>my_cool_icon</item> FULL FILE: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string-array name="icon_pack" translatable="false"> <item>icon1</item> <item>my_cool_icon</item> </string-array> </resources> 9.-To use a custom font on your theme, put the TTF file in assets/themefont.ttf. Make sure the font is working, some BIG (in filesize) fonts or bad encoded fonts can cause problems. 10.-To put CUSTOM DOCK IMAGES in the ADW Dock pack to be used in ADWLauncher EX, just edit the res/values/dock_pack.xml file and add lines like the following one: <item>png_finelane_no_extension</item> One line per dock to be shown in the dock pack. Use only IMAGES, not xml drawables. EXAMPLES: res/drawable/mycooldock1.png --> <item>mycooldock1</item> res/drawable-hdpi/my_cool_dock_2.png --> <item>my_cool_dock_2</item> FULL FILE: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string-array name="dock_pack" translatable="false"> <item>mycooldock1</item> <item>my_cool_dock_2</item> </string-array> </resources> 11.-Export the apk from eclipse as every other android app.
