Does anyone out there know where I can get a nice carbon black wallpaper. I tend to use a plain background which i have edited in paintshop to add a small pic of kids and my number which i always forget!
A black graphite/carbon look, would be much better I have done an image surf on google etc but nothing quite right.
I will post a pic when completed.
Thanks all

trying my hand at a tribal theme. What do you think? Notifiers on email, missed calls, sms etc. are shown by the blue border you see around the phone icon.
looks nice, but i would prefer black background and white tribals
but hey: you are the artist
Looking nice buddy, will keep up with this one on the website

lol i know i was hoping you'd be our Miracle or something and figure out how to do it
the status bar is not transparent. Its a mockup of a transparent notification bar by taking the top portion of the picture and laying it over with a glass finish and then using that as the stus bar. If you do it right and line it up perfectly it will look perfect

making the statusbar transparent is easy, it's just impossible to make the background go all the way up to the top of the screen behind it, so all you see is a black space at the top.
but ****in awesome theme!! lovin it!
it looks freaking awesome, but being the critic i am, and after using fade to blue wich damnitpud still deems imperfect, i have a few minor suggestions.
resize the image you used for the wallpaper to make it a little taller, and then litterally cut the top few pixels to be used as the status bar, don't feel like cracking open my theme right now to see how big the status par png is but you know what i am talking about i'm sure, that way rather than the image getting more and more off as you go left or right of the center it would look a little cleaner.
also either the status bar backgound image is a little offcenter or the wallpaper is, i am not sure but the center line does not line up in your mockup.
and keep in mind that even if you pefect the status bar to line up with the wallpaper it will only be lined up on the center desktop and not the others.
praise:
i like the wallpaper being split in two because when you go to the left or right desktop it will only show the peace side or the war side, kinda cool. but just make sure the pic is lined up perfectly center.
good luck and keep up the good work

whered you find that wallpaper? thats an awesome wallpaper, i have the day/night one like that..
Here is a ported theme that was originally done by Manup for Dude's G1 rom.
This is for those with a 32A phone and is the Amon_RA 1.0.1H rom.
I hope i have done it justice porting it. I have added a couple of my own preferences and will be adding more. It is a VERY works in progress.... a very quick port. Statusbar is now black. havent updated other shots.
This is template size so you can easily update it.
Theme includes latest launcher from Cyanogen with 5 home screens and extra apps in drawer.
I have also attached a matching dxtop theme if anyone is interested.
If you like it donate to manup456. He worked hard on this and deserves the full praise for it.
Grab it from here:
manupblack Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip
####things to do:
- add the new modified launcher with customisable apps drawer ++
- black status bar with white writing (white clock not possible at this time)- FIXED
- fix status bar icons to match theme better - FIXED
- ..........
-----other themes to come- Hero, palm pre.....

that's nice but i am talking about Amon_RA's build.
To be absolutely honest with you; I think it looks horrific.
hehe... your opinion... but thanks for that.. i'll be sure to tell Manup you thing its crap.
dont like it, dont use it.
Don't worry, I won't use it. Disliking this theme doesn't mean I dislike everything he did. One should be able to recieve both positive and negative feedback. A solution to make this look more attractive would be disabling jpeg compression in your preview screenshots. Jpeg makes everything look horrible and blurred, especially hard reds, blues and greens. I'd start with enhancing that. Furthermode I'd not downsize the previews because that blurs the whole thing as well.
To state I didn't just suck the feedback out of my thumb:
You can barely read the battery status (looks like he modified the battery I did for my own theme).
The color for the background behind the time doesn't fit the other colors.
On the first screenshot you/he used 4-5 teints of blue... it's overly blue.
yeah i see your point.... didnt even look at the pics myself.... sorry about that... just stuck them straight in from what screenshot app took....
as for the blues- i see what you mean- never really looked at it that closely.....i did do the clock bgd colour though- with the same blue it was too dark to read clock properly and i was unable to edit services.jar to make it any other colour....tbh i think i prefer the different blues....is that an issue having too many blues? I am in medical field, not graphics....
i changed the battery on the black one so i could see it properly....good point.... i must have noticed that too.... or maybe it was coincidence i changed it.....
i prefer hero myself but occasionally i will try this- a bit dark for my likings though.....
thx for the feedback though- when i make one myself from scratch maybe i will get you to look over it- seems you have better eyes than me..... i really dont look that closely at it....
I'm an experienced theme designer I made dozens of Sony Ericsson themes in both THM+sysgfx and Flash Lite 2.1 Check "Photographer" profile at http://www.se-nse.net .
Maybe my critique was a little harsh, sorry about that
Too many teints of the same color can cause disharmony and the black and blue combination isn't the best there is... I mean, there is no variation in this theme. It's all black with a bit of blue...
To get you started: The blue you applied behind the clock is more purple than blue, try changing it to a more contrastive color like an almost white, and definately don't use harsh rectangles in a round shaped UI like Android Instead use rounder shapes, try Photoshop's rounded rectangle tool with a nice r. One of the things I do like about the theme is the "Android" text on drawn down statusbar in the 4st screenshot but it seems not to be entirely centered.
how to install Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip ??
thanks
if you have Amon_RA's new recovery- 1.2.0H then you just stick the zip file on sd card, then go to recovery and select "Apply sdcard:choose zip". Select the one you want and off it goes.
if you don't have it, get it. In the mean time rename to update.zip and install via recovery as per normal rom flash.
I find it quite annoying that the gmail app has white background with black text while most other stuff has black background with white text which is much more readable.
I tried fiddling with the gmail.apk to change the background but didn't get anywhere. So did anyone create such a changed apk or would know how to do that?
Maybe you can ask this guy to help you do it yourself
by the way looking at the kind of themes these guys are producing for their phones I am wondering why don't we have such on samsung

I hated white backgrounds too. So I just installed k9 email
I just cant stand K9... It doesnt feel comfortable at all...
i would also love black inverted versions of pretty much everything!
also wouldnt this help battery life too with how the S AMOLED screen utilizes black pixels?
Hey guys
If youre as ocd as me than you all spend an unnecessary amount of time looking for the perfect wallpaper in the exact or slightly bigger resolution
Finding these wallpapers is difficult. Theres a plethora of sites but only one (wallbase) organize it by colour instead of category
When i fancy my phone up ill match everything to a coloured theme. So i ask.
Does anyone know where to get wallpapers in our exact resolution that is organized by colour?
If not can you at least post some white wallpapers
Thanks
