Hey everybody! Just wanted to thank Tony Simons of AndroidSPIN for posting on Fluxed a few days ago. It’s revitalized my efforts in getting the 2.0 update out for you all!

I hope you didn’t think it became vaporware…

Leave the first comment ▶In the Halloween mood these days, and it got me thinking – what better costume for the famous Android to wear than the Apple logo?
As you can see, this idea got the better of me.
While working on some graphics last night, I had the privilege of talking over Twitter with Peach, the owner and developer of MyColorScreen. MCS, if you don’t know already, is an in-beta social platform based around sharing screenshots of your home screen from iOS and Android devices.
Last night Peach shared a link to a site that presented the UI beauty of DM1, a drum machine app for the iPad. I like to peruse what designers post, as I am always looking for new inspiration. Yet when I arrived on the site, all I felt was a little jealousy and disappointment. This app was beautiful – the realistic textures, glowing dials, and lifelike controls would make anyone spend hours creating silly beats. And of course, it was only available on the iPad.

GUYS:
ARIGHT! New Fluxed update! It’s been too long, and I’m sorry for that. It’s finally the summer, and with a consistent work schedule to plan around, I will have lots more time to devote to making Fluxed the best it can be. Without further ado, I give you the changelog!

Hey all:
As classes come to a close this year I’ve had a little more time to do some graphic work. Here’s a new wallpaper collection available for your phone, tablet, or monitor!
Enjoy!

That’s right – yours truly!
It’s an honor to help Koushik Dutta (aka Koush) make his famous app a little more pleasing to the eye. And I also want to thank all those on Twitter who suggested my efforts to complete this task. You’re the best!

In my last post, I noted that Fluxed was mere footsteps from the 50k milestone. And last night, it finally passed it.
Since October I have been dumbfounded by the support I’ve received, both in the Market comments section, on DeviantART, Twitter, and email. My idea of providing a simple theme that gives users a great ADW or other launcher experience has become quite the project. It now supports hundreds of apps, with many more on the way.
I am truly grateful to see all the use people have made out of my creations. Thank you for the support and continued use of Fluxed!

As Fluxed comes stunningly close to 50,000 downloads, I’m pushing out another long-awaited update. Here’s the skinny:
The new icons will be available for viewing in the gallery and also in the DeviantART set. The update after this will be a smaller one that focuses on editing some of the base app set icons like the camera and calendar.
I am still having trouble trying to figure out why devices with QVGA screens (such as the Intercept) are having force close issues. But I’m on the case. Sorry for the inconvenience. In the mean time, grab the icons from the DeviantART page. Also, don’t forget to report apps that have icons in the theme but don’t skin so I can fix them! The link is available on the Fluxed page.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Hey all:
Since CyanogenMod 7 is moving ever closer to its stable release, I decided to create this rather large collection of minimalistic wallpapers with a logo I created. The wallpapers are made up of various backdrops and elements shifted around.
Enjoy!

Hey peeps:
Here’s another tidbit to appease your hunger for customization.
I had a small set of app drawer icons laying around on my computer, so I thought I’d share them with everyone. There are 7 icons in the pack, in both HDPI (72px) and MDPI (48px) flavors.
Load ‘em into your gallery and use your normal launcher/BetterCut method to apply them.
I plan to add these into the Fluxed Iconpack with the next release, which will make it easier for those using the ADW theme.
