This was my first idea for a theme. Which I'm making, in most part, for my girlfriend who I like to call Peach. The idea came from a signature picture I made years ago for her for a forum and I thought it would be a pleasant surprise to bring it back in the theme. I used that very siggy as the wallpaper and most of the colors picked out using the eye dropper.
This is very much so a work in progress. I'm looking for opinions and feedback. It's my first theme. The wallpaper I will need to change. The siggy was alot smaller than I remembered and I had to stretch it to fit. May recreate it. The clock and the tab at the bottom are not of my own work. They are from the Glossy Minimalism theme. (the theme I currently use.) I used its update.zip when I was figuring out where things were and creating. I do plan to change them both.
Edit: Peches is now ready for download but still incomplete as far as I'm concerned. I cant figure out why I cant get the notification bar (during/after pull down) to change colors. Clock still needs to be changed as well as menu tab. I also have plans to change the notifications, Edge and 3G, Battery and Signal icons. Enjoy and please give me feed back. If you think I should include anything let me know.

Created (all) Battery status icons and USB notification..
1.01:
New background
Changed Battery and USB icon color to match theme better
New Font
1.02:
Completed Icons for Stock Apps
Custom Download(ing) Icon
Several minor color changes throughout the system
Tested - Published
good start sir. something i would use. not too sure about font, but still worth using. wish there was an icon pack for apps commonly downloaded like chomp and my backup to match the rest of the stock apps.
I've been meaning to change my font for a while. Thanks for the reminder.
Looks good I like the story behind it.
The left side of the notification bar blinds me. Maybe instead of a white > peach gradient use a lighter peach to a darker peach? I just can't look at the status bars left side. The icons are nice and simple. Don't really have much else to say.
3/5 Average

I'm feeling that theme good job..
when is it available for download?
Availablity?
Its still very much unfinished. So far I've made very few changes and the icons shown are the only ones I've done so far. I should have the rest of the stock app icons done by tonight along with a few other things. I'll make it available by tomorrow at the latest but again, its still unfinished as far as I'm concerened.
Btw, she loves it ^ ^
Dude, the font rawks.

Well i said I was releasing a theme and here you have it...
i must first give props to the theme makers of BUUF and Ghost Black, and my man Stericson... for icons, clocks, and how to's...
I made a clear green clock, with accented numbers in white glow... changed the menu button to a clear green, and added the landscape view as well for the menu button. most of the icons have been changed, I am still making many new adjustments, but I thought it was done enough, thats why its a beta.
** I made the wallpaper with PicSay on the G1.. no lie**
-updates to include-
finish all icons to clear green, change status bar, and any other problems anyone wants me to find or that i feel need to be changed... enjoy
Screenshots are coming, just a G1 taking pics of a G1

DOWNLOAD Older is Better Theme v1.1: http://qctx.org/dl/download.php?id=B7B3E8D11 - added status bar icons, menu tab
DOWNLOAD Older is Better Theme v1.2: http://qctx.org/dl/download.php?id=B7745CCF1 - all stock apps are clear green, menu tab has green effect when scrolling, sync, messages, and a few other status bar icons have been changed to green, menu button icons turned green, music theme turned green, more to come
Looks great man. Glad to see another theme pushed out. Great job. Hope you continue improving and creating!
Stericson
thanks man, i have the creativity, i just needed some help, which you helped me with, with understandin everything to the point that I could create this...
quick questions... where the hell is that status bar? could i even ask for the name of the icon picture? Im sure its in launcher.apk or framework.apk, but the theme build im builiding off of has some icons cleared or absolutely blank, so idk what would go there to know the size, name, etc...
was thinking of clear black with green icons.... and a very transparent green window shade when u swipe down the status bar....
sorry, know where that is 2?
thanks, ill keep kicking them out
Possible Projects:
Philadelphia Phillies - World Champs theme (hometown, DJ, Drexel)
Fingerprint Theme - where the background is fingerprints and you cant tell when you open the menu tab (its all thumbails, not sure about the concept)
Many other colors coming out, along with my custom PicSay pictures I have like 100 i could mix with themes and all colors... just a long process.. AND NEW CLOCKS
Looks cool. You think you could use the screenshot program to upload real screenshots?

i like it.. i really really like it...
Working on my first theme, just thought I would share what I have so far.
Orange Crush (Beta v2)
Ok, well I have enough done to release another update. This includes the status bar, the slider, and all of the default icons from the RC33 JF release. I installed it without having to use the light version of RC33, this doesn't mean that it will work for you.So if you try it, you do so at your own risk. There is still alot I want to do to this so keep checking back and I will update it as time allows. This is by no means a final product. I hope you all enjoy.
But here are the new images:

I really like this theme. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the clock. Don't get me wrong it's a nice clock but it's a little too orange. Maybe you could make the numbers black or have 12, 3, 6, and 9 be in black and have other numbers in white? Just a thought
Yeah, I am still playing with ideas on the clock. I am not sure if I want to make the numbers dark, or have an offsetting dark glow behind them.
good start, i cant w8 till its done. i agree with the above post about the clock also, oh n maybe change the pull tab menu to a orange android.
Great Idea
Am I the only one that sees an opportunity for an orange fingerprint slider?
looks pretty nice,
I like the icons
looks really good, gotta check it out
This is the only theme that worked for me, someone should compare this one to the others.
Thats a great start but i agree that the clock is too orange, also I would try white for the numbers, because as i see it orange is more of a darker tone black would be a lil difficult to see, so try white if you want 2

It might be because I have not gone in and modified anything other than icons and the clock so far. I'll be updating as changes are made, and probably make a few different versions of the clock.
Great work. Very clean. And I like orange.
Those icons are sharp! Good work!
Looks great (I like orange )
I think slider should be a transparent and may be less "stock"? May be just an arrow in the cirle, you know. And do something abour that status bar
Look forward to install it once it's completed
Thanks for the input guys, I'm trying to get it knocked out. Still learning where all the files are, and I only get a couple minutes a day to work on it, but hopefully will have it done soon enough.
Added Update: See first post.
Very clean cut I must say... Trying it now
looks nice orange =O) wish their was other colors though
great work on the update. going to try it now.
edit: great theme. but didn't the original icon pack have an orange themed folder you could add onto the home screen?

First post etc.......
What was supposed to take 2 hours turned into somewhere around 6-7 and I came up with this.

Everything was made by me from scratch except the app menu handle, I took that from.... that guy's (pardon my forgetfulness) skully theme and edited it to my liking. So credits and thanks to him for that.
Features;
- Lock pattern is blue when touched/dragged
- When ever there's supposed to be green battery is blue
- Notification bar time is still 100% legible
- Browser, settings, terminal, market and music icons customized
- Random stuff I probably forgot I even did
Ignore the wallpaper, it was made by me and for some reason its really really pixelated and makes the rest of the theme look like crap.
I have no clue how to change the time color to white so yea, all other notification text is white.
Make sure you remove your sounds from /system/media/audio before installing this theme. Also, its only been tested and proved working in RC33 with jF1.42.
I hope you like it, as this is only my second in what I hope will be an ongoing series of themes. I'll be posting my first shortly.
Any and all insight, criticism and feedback is welcome.
Note: If your G1 bricks there's a handy guide on how to mount your SD card via the recovery console. Google it. (It's somewhere on XDA, don't have the link.)

skully theme was created by Random Access, just fyi
looks pretty nice
Wait until my next release in a few hours, its gonna be amazing. Unless I get some sort of creators block.
"...That Guys" HAHA i got a kick out of that...
Im still around checking up on things... should be back "theming" after this project for work is finished.
Looks good so far, keep working on it.
Fantastic!
I really like how this came out! Cheers! It is wicked cool!
This one is for all the New Orleanians and folks from the Gulf South who remember K&B and still refuse to step foot in a Rite Aid even to this day.
Just doing my part to represent the 504. What up, wodie.* Holler. etc.
This is my first theme and I'm still working on it, but wanted to throw it up here just to provide some additional motivation to finish it.
Granted, there's probably about 3 people on the site that will know what it's in reference to, but some of you might just like purple. **
In the end I took the K&B logo out of the battery icon since I figured someone would like it just as a pink/purple theme without the obscure reference to a non-existant regional drug store chain.
I did not touch any of the home icons***, as I don't like that mix and match look that that usually results in, plus I'm just that lazy.
To Do: I'll probably change up some more wallpaper, finish tinting the menu icons (it's a rabbit hole once you start changing them,) and maybe go through and fix some of the color inconsistency that I've found... other than that it's a wrap.
* http://www.rapdict.org/Wodie
** Or pink -- as many of the icons are coming out a little pinker than I was looking for but f'it. I've done this much.
*** Some of the icons that are in the screen shot are from other themes that I happen to have installed right now.

yea props on the bar too
Lookin Good dude!
Nice 1st Theme!
Fixed some notification bar icons that were bugging me. Also changed the pull tabs and some of the menu icons. This theme building crap is a friggin' rabbit hole. LOL
Updated the screenshot.
Updated dialer, mms and launcher. I'm seriously thinking about pullin out all the non .9 icons and just batch tinting them with a photoshop action. This is rediculously time consuming. lol I can't imagine replacing all these icons with completely new ones.
Screenshots updated in first post.
LOL @ 4 non blondes... used to listen to them all the time back in the day... God... does that make me old???

Yes, but probably as old as me.
I updated the screenshots with a hipper musical selection.
As requested, I'm posting my icons that I made by hand (using a mishmash of powerpoint and paint.net =) ) as well as a rough map of a handful of files in case anyone wants to swap out other PNG's. Feel free to pick and choose whatever icons you might like from the attached zips, and you can follow the guide I posted in swapping PNG's, or ninjamorph or whatever means you like to swap PNGs.
So this is what it looks like on my phone:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here's a guide for the location of a handful of PNGs and where they apply (I only included notification bar icons in the zips):
Notification icons (right) *stencil theme attached*:
SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
status icons
signal type icons
signal icons
wifi
framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
additional status icons
battery icons - *if using 99% mod for the battery, then icons are in drawable-hdpi. If using stock battery, in drawable-xhdpi
Notification icons (left) *stencil theme attached*:
framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
additional icons
Lockscreen divider (just for reference):
framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
divider_horizontal_dark.9.png
Lockscreen dots (just for reference):

btn_code_lock_touched.png
indicator_code_lock_point_area_default.png
indicator_code_lock_point_area_green.png
indicator_code_lock_point_area_red.png
Pull-down bar (just for reference):
SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
statusbar_background.9.png (notification bar)
status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png (status bar item background)
status_bar_close_on.9.png (status bar close)
shade_bg.png* (In drawable-hdpi. Can only change if using transparency tweaks I posted or have changed XML in another way to direct to this file)
RES_cappuccino.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
indi_noti_bg.9.png (quick setting background)
status_bar_header_background.9.png (header background)
indi_noti_bar.9 (indicator notification bar)
nice work!
These are amazing. I love the clean, minimalist look!
Thanks a lot! Took me a while, but I think it was worth it =)

Definitely! It's nice to see something different for once (and it helps that it's really good!)
Can I use these in a theming tool I'm working on? With proper credit, of course.
Oh, yeah, of course. Do whatever you want with them. Honestly, I just made them cause I wanted them for myself. Sharing it was just an after thought in case anyone else might like the theme too =)
If you ever move over to CyanogenMod or AOKP, you should really make a theme from this
I would love to move to cm9, but I actually use the video camera quite a bit, and I hear it still has focusing and stuttering issues, so unfortunately I have to wait. I'd also love to try the ics leak, but I think I need CWM, so again I have to wait =) but whenever I switch, you can bet I'll bring over my icons n stuff. I can't stand the stock ones. Blech! But again, if anyone wants to package them or use them in their own theme or whatever, go to town!

I guess there is no CM9-Theme looking like this? I'm not sure, if i really should work on the framework-res.apk by myself.
