Hi everyone,
After seeing a lot of people on the official chinese forum making V5 icons. I've just got to mention some very important points.
(taken from v5 rom)
The new format means you, as a designer do not need to worry yourself with the finer detail of the corners of your icon, just make a 136 x 136 square and you're set!
I suggest using Quick System Info to find process names of your apps, name your pngs the same as the process name. E.g. Dolphin Browser is mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser.png
You can also download the official PSB file here for Photoshop, this includes official layer styles directly from Xiaomi's design team to MIUIAndroid.com
Download PSB here
Happy icon designing everyone!
Thanks,
Mark

- The new icons are SQUARE at 136 x 136 pixels
- Designers do NOT need to make their icons with rounded corners
- MIUI handles the rounding process with a mask layer over the icon you design
