Good question

As you might expect i get tons of questions daily… some are better than others, here's one.

User X asks:
I'm browsing through your styles and I see the switch themes (http://www.thaicon.thasyndicate.com/products-page/fantasy/tha-switch/), but I cannot for the love of it see where or how they could be used as I know of no app that will let you chose a original+pressed icon for shortcuts.

Answer:

You see, when you make icons day in and day out, you start to see and dream about things that don't yet exist. I believe that one day in a not too distant future the personalization of icons will be pushed far enough to allow 2 or even 3 state icons to work… and even animated icons. So i made those knowing that the past is history but the future is a mystery.

Thoughts?

  1. I think themers have been having this conversation for years.. Me and someone had a discussion about bomb icons that exploded as you pressed them back when I had the Vibrant at least 2 years ago..

  2. could build it into a launcher would need to contact apex or nova and change the glow effect to a over lapped icon maybe… if I was smart thats how i would do it.

  3. i can make these work… like on/off state but pressed… i'd just have to play around with it a bit but i'm certain i can do it if i wanted… 

    i don't see how one could be "ON" or "OFF" unless the app is running in the background… if that, then i'm not sure how to do that one lol

  4. oh and i can def animate some icons… i haven't figured out a design for them yet… or an easy way to make them since animations usually add multiple images which equals a lot of time creating them from my no0b image skills 😀

  5. Hey guys, an app called elixer2 will let u do this. The widgets are not fully customizable, but they do let u do change of state with transitions.
