Good to hear! I might come knocking on your door in a few days then

I will happily test this theme when it is ready (or almost) ready.

Sadly I don't think this can be done the right way. I was able to do the same thing with the status bar but it was a placebo effect. You'll be stuck with the same wallpaper. If anyone is willing to prove me wrong I'll be happy for it, as I got lots of ideas I would like to try but stopped due to this hurdle. Good luck in getting this to work.
P.S. the clock looks absolutely awesome.

sure ill take a crack at customizing this theme further.... send me a .zip to [email protected]

Unfortunately you are absolutely correct. I'll just have to go for a sort of a dimmed status bar that'll look transparent but really isn't. Sigh. Why do you torment us like this, Android developers?
The clock does look good, and at least with that one we don't have to fake the transparency effect

I might do a bunch of status bars with different colors; one whiteish, one black, one red, one blue, one brown, etc. That way at least you could get the color of the status bar to decently match any wallpaper you might use. Of course that also means you would have to re-flash the phone every time you changed the wallpaper to something with a different general color.
Hum, I wonder, would it be possible to make a special update.zip containing only the framework apk? I mean, everything else ought to be left intact then, right? An install would be very speedy, just seconds, when all that is needed is an update of the framework. No apps, launcher etc to be reinstalled.
Thoughts?

You certainly can, the first themeing I did was replacing just the clock that way.

Yeah, I've done it with individual apps that way too, but never with the framework apk that is in a different folder than the apps for some reason. I thought it might be different with the framework because of that, but it really should not be. Good to know it's doable though, thanks for confirming!

Pretty cool idea, does this mean it wont show your service? wifi service, battery level etc? I wasn't sure if that was just a mockup you made in photoshop or it will really be that blank
I like the transparent grayscale idea though. looks promising!

Oh, all status bar icons and such will be there once it's done. Though preferably they will be redesigned to fit the glossy theme better than the default ones.

If you can realize this theme like the concept you showed, it will be a most impressive theme. Even the concept is absolutely beautiful.

If we can figure out how to get rid of the black bar at the top when we make transparent status bars this theme would be able to take advatage of it

O.k i have never tried the transparent bar but i think there is two one in drawable an drawable-land the one in drawable-land is black did you try making both of theme clear? Then again there is a lot of stuff thats in the .xml that might be stopping the process. I would ask the .xml doctor to see if thats the case.

I never tried and haven't asked about it. After the announcement of a new update I decided to hold off on any themes

Yeah I know I think ill hold of on Code_Name_Ninja until then.

I've got two on the burner waiting to be moved to update files and ideas for others, it's just so time consuming lol

[Theme]The Office (RC33) *BETA release*

Hey guys,
Here are some screenshots of the latest theme I have been working on. Feedback and suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated.
***UPDATE 4/9/09***
Made a lot of fixes based on feedback received. Clock now matches the other icons/notifications, I personally like it a lot better! Application tray handle is now a thumbtack rather than the stapler in jello (stapler in jello is now delete handle). Added matching notification icons for most common stock apps (gmail, im, messaging, market, music, etc.) Cleaned up a weird looking button. Download link below!
***UPDATE 3/27/09***
Icon pack is available below. Included are all the application icons I made, as well as a blank icon background that you can paste your own icons into so they all match. Here is my process for doing that, though I'm not in any was saying that this is the only, or even the best, way to do it:
-Open both the icon you want and the "empty_sketchy" from the icon pack below in your favorite image editing program, GIMP or Photoshop, or whatever.
-You may need to resize the empty sketchy image, it works best if it is about twice as big as your icon you want to paste into it. There are two different sizes available in the zip file below, or it is a simple process to resize it to whatever size you need.
-Select and copy the icon you are working with, and then paste it into the empty_sketchy image. Center it, do any editing you need to do, etc. Then resize the entire thing to 48x48 and save it as a new file.
I'm still making a few changes and updates to the theme, and should release another update sometime this weekend.
***UPDATE 3/25/09***
Beta version now available, see link below. I still haven't quite finished everything I want to do with this theme, but I welcome ideas/suggestions/comments from anyone who wants to test it.
This theme is based on the US version of the TV show "The Office". It utilizes both things from the show, and typical office supplies.
Done:
custom boot screen
some notification icons
unlock screen
button backgrounds
clock
data network icons
phone signal, wifi, and battery icons
notification tray
all custom wallpapers
custom emoticons (from punkymoods.com)

Good job, I like it.

I think this is a really cool theme idea. I am a big fan of the office. I think it looks really good. Can't wait to give it a shot!

Love the office. This is cool!

YEAH!!! I just started watching this about 2 months ago and now I am on season 4! This show kicks so much @$$! I can't wait to see this theme in action!

beta release now available, should work with both regular and lite RC33. download link in the first post!

I like the theme for the most part, I dont know what else you would put there but i dont really like the stapler in the jello as the apps tab thing. I really love the icons, can you post those for us to download to use with other themes as well?

wow that would be awesome, i downloaded this wallpaper and resized it for the G1 and your icon set will look awesome on it
not sure about a new app tab I will be thinking about it and let you know if i think of something

I love it i am downloading now the only thing i would change just from looking at the screens would be the clock i just doesnt seem to fit in

See the first post for a link to a zip file with all the icons from this theme and instructions on how to make matching icons for other applications.
@JediMasterASD: That corkboard wallpaper is awesome. Maybe I should include that as one of the wallpaper gallery choices in the theme.

I don't think I love the clock either. I'm thinking maybe just a square clock like the kind in every office and schoolroom in the world would be better...what do you think?

Thanks again for the icons, i have already made a few more and am loving it! this is my current homescreen
I would actually like to get a copy of your theme without a graphic at all for the apps tab if possible, obviously you dont have to go changing it just for me though but my homescreen would be perfect then. Also a clock that more resembled something you would see in an office would be good too.

also something you could do is for the app tab and the notification is use weapons, becuase we all know how much dwight loves to hide weapons around the office!!!

bump for the update - see first post for changes and for new download link!!!

Liking this more and more. Thanks for all your work.

looks good! I dig the clock

Hmm, like the idea, but too black for me. Needs some kind of outlining, for example, the border around the launcher. The pull out tab, I'd prefer it to be bigger, kinda like Kspec...now that would be sweet :]

i like .....

Only suggestion I have is making the launcher 5x4 for some reason 4 across just bugs the hell out of me.....can't explain it, just does. haha

thanks! ohmarni has it working on the android plus theme using the launcher and xml's from sir*mez i believe. Hope that points you in the right direction

Looks like Cyanogen 3.6.6 has the 5x4 6x3 layout I will have that version up soon.

take a loot at some of your .9.png files, the one for the search bar is off a little and causing it to look funny, should be your text field one

I havent noticed anything like that,I am still on 3.6.5 though let me upgrade to 3.6.6 and see if I have the same problem then I will see if I can fix it.Glad you like the theme though...

great theme, plain and simple, but check the search bar is.. off, looks really odd, the voice search button is hanging off the frame if you know what i mean... looks nice tho, clock is definately a keeper, and chance you could make it hero size?
-=edit=- never mind about the clock, i already had clock widget active when i applied the theme, removed and replaced widget and it's nice and big and awesomely cool thanks, just the search to sort, but you may want to wait till cyan updates again, i recon there is 3.7 in the works some time soon

I like it except for the 3g icon, would still rock the theme with or without the icon though. love how this theme looks. Especially love the keyboard

I like the 3g icon but would like to see a different battery icon, like the ophone or the pre battery icons. Lovin 1.5 though. Sharp looking.

I am gonna try to make my own battery icons and see how they look I will be customizing all the notification icons and will also make app icons for this theme eventually but I want the notifications finished before I release 1.5.Now I am gonna make two versions also with different 3g,edge,gprs Icons.Thanks for your input guys its greatly appreciated.

[Clocks] Prash's Giant Clocks (3 so far) [Updated: 8/27 - added Zelda clock]

Non-Theme Based Clocks - Just for fun:
Zelda
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
This was just made for fun mostly, something different than the usual when I saw that there was a group/community effort to make a Zelda theme on XDA. Even if they don't use this particular clock, I thought I'd make it available as a stand-alone flashable update for anyone that wants it.​
Download: http://injun.org/themes/Prash_ZeldaClock-update.zip (4x3 version)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Theme Based Clocks - These are from themes I'm working on or have worked on in the past:
Alien Aqua
This was going to be the clock featured in an upcoming theme called "AquaAlien", for whatever reasons, I didn't really get to finish it as fast as I'd like. I just noticed an 'ahome' theme by the same name in the market so I'll possibly end up abandoning this project and just work on other things for now (its a personal thing, I don't really like taking someone else's thunder I guess since I wouldn't want it happening to me). But the clock is mostly personally made not using any of the Aqua Alien icons so I figured I'd offer the clock as a seperate update.zip file for those that want to use a new non-hero based clocks.​
Download: http://injun.org/themes/Prash_AquaAlien_Clock-update.zip (4x3 version)
and (2x2 version here) - thanks xidominianoix!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------​
SystemForce (Based on upcoming 3.0 version)
I'm porting SystemForce over to the newer rom's so I completely redid the clock now that I am able to create a bigger sized version of it. It still matches the theme in every way but also looks good stand alone, so I figured I'd put it up for individual download for those that like to mix and match theme elements.​
Download: http://injun.org/themes/Prash_SystemForce_Clock-update.zip (4x3 version)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Install:
-Download .zip file to root of your sdcard
-Flash zip (CM Recovery 1.4 lets you 'flash any zip file')
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Activate:
-On home screen, press menu > add > widgets > Analog Clock.
OR
-Long press anywhere on home screen > widgets > Analog Clock.
Be sure to have enough space for it!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------​
I've only tested it on my own Cyanogen mod Rom, so flash at your own risk!! Report back which rom's it works on and I'll add info to this post. Thanks!
NOTE: These are mostly 4x3 clocks (big size) so if you have problems flashing, remove any old clocks from home screen, flash, then add clock widget again. Be sure to leave enough room on your home screen for it to fit.
Big thanks to Ted, r_dub and everyone else in the clocks thread for the help.

this should work on many different roms including rogers if im correct
would it be alright if i added this to my ClockWidgetSwitcher program?
EDIT: heres a 2x2 version

OK thanks .. finished the update ... dl program from my sig

i think you should continue with the theme it looks real good
i would definitely use it

Please continue with this. That theme looks incredibly sleek. At least make the wallpaper, status_bar, and icons available for those of us who want it for personal use. Where'd you get this stuff from?

To explain my theme process..I find icon sets that I think look really cool, then I find matching wallpapers that would go good with that icon set, then I build my themes around that. As you can see in the screenshots I got as far as customizing the top bar (only right hand side) the clock and the status bar. The icons were put by bettercut but I'd have made them system icons as well. The last time I worked on that theme we were on Cyanogen 3.2 so as you can see its been a while since its been touched.
Now I dont use ahome so I don't know what the "AlienAqua" ahome theme in the market place looks like but since I build my themes based on the icons, its the heart of my project. I may continue with it since I'm getting positive responses here but I remember being stuck on what to do with the pull up tray images.
The best thing I loved about that theme was the boot screen..I had an animated spaceship scene which is hard to describe but looked really ****ing awesome. Too bad
If you look at my other themes, I tend to go all out and customize everything possible so it may take a while before you see any of my ideas posted. This was why alien aqua was not finished..
If theres enough demand I can zip up the wallpapers and icon sets for people to use. Not sure about the notification icons beause I can make use of them in other themes..Those that remember SystemForce version 2 may recognize some of the top bar icons from there. So i recycle..is a lot of work

that theme would look hot on a white G1 thats nice keep up the great work

I may continue working on the theme later ...maybe
Until then, I updated the entire post with a second clock, I may keep adding more on as I go along now. Enjoy!

1) Thanks :]
2) Lol yeah I'm looking for that damn blue image..I lost it when I changed it, I'll probably go back to using that, as you may have noticed the recent changes are due to the fact I'm not happy with any new avatars.
edit: Well thank goodness for redundant backups of backups..was able to find the old avatar after all..back to normal now.

Oh man I'd love to see that zelda clock in a systemforce way!
PS: And add a triforce somewhere!

Really great looking clocks.. Looking forward to installing this.

Mod/Theme 4.67 ICS-ish WIP, Early Stages, Help

Hi there, I would like to show you guys some of the work I've been doing in an attempt to make a theme for the 4.67 OTA. I'm currently using Nitrous 1.4.4 but the changes should work on any 4.67 base rom. As the title says I'm still in the very early stages, but I've hit a few roadblocks that I need to figure out before I go any further.
As of right now I have fully themed the status bar, and notification pull down via SystemUI, and 1% step circle battery mod thanks to the UOT Kitchen. I've moved into some of the other apks but I'm not ready to show my work just yet. I should state that my general direction for this project is a ICS-ish theme but I'm not striving to fool anyone here. I really loved the color scheme and the clean lines that ICS introduced and I'd like to bring that to us Sense Users (the rounded bubble style of sense just feels very... dated.)
Ok, here we go. BTW the divider lines are the same light blue color, but for some reason they are washed out on these screenshots, it looks so much better on the phone.

Here's my home screen, you like?
Quick settings tab, so far, so good.
Now, the problems. Most obviously my ongoing notifications all have black text. I was successfully able to change the font color for everything else after decompiling the SystemUI.apk except for ongoing notifications. Is this font color hidden in one of the xmls in the systemUI, or is it located elsewhere? For the notifications and quick settings I was able to change the font colors for all of those with just the colors.xml yet the ongoing notifications remain black and unreadable.
Next issue is the the background image for some of the icons. If found what looked exactly like this in SystemUI, just made it transparent but the icon background remains. Must be located somewhere else, or I just need to look again.
Then there is the tabs at the bottom, for starters the bg image on those is not the final product, I'm still experimenting with that one. However, first I would like to be able to 1: make a text smaller, I'm thinking 2 sizes. 2: Make it not bold.
Thoughts? Suggestions Comments? Questions? All are welcome but please be gentle, I'd love to hear what you guys think.

Would love to get this, hope you get the help you need.

Those icon bg/s are in the systemui.apk called status_bar_icons_tile.png the font style is designated in the status_bar_tracking.xml you can change the txt style if you want the actual font is the designated system font...

This would look good if they made it to 3.0 or 3.5 sense roms

Thanks for you help Pneuma1985, I had the correct .png for the background image, I just forgot to replace it in my SystemUI.apk. Also thanks for that image, a little more refined then the simple black and blue diagonal I had before.
I'm glad you guys like what you see, I haven't had any time this past week to make more progress, but I'm hoping to get some done tonight and this weekend. Thanks for the support, I was a little nervous posting this since I haven't done anything before but I feel a little better now.
Anyone have any ideas how to change the font color of ongoing notifications from black to white?

There are a few very good guides on how to invert the drop down. If I find the link I'll post it for you. The theme looks cool so far, I kind of miss my Evo and making themes for it. It was so much easier then on my Evo 3D. Oh I have an ics theme for sense 1.0 around here if you want feel free to take any png's from it and if you have any questions you can pm me and I'll help you out if I know what your trying to do.

Thanks, I'll be in touch then. Is Photoshop a must? Will Gimp work? There's just no way I can afford Photoshop for a hobby. Thanks again.
EDIT: Well on first attempt the layers are not visible in Gimp for Windows, however I have a legacy version of Fireworks that seems to be able to work with those stencils. I guess I'm in luck, because this version of Fireworks is really old, Macromedia Fireworks 3... not CS3, just 3 - Circa 2000. I knew there was a reason I have that still.

Well I can not post you a link here but if you contact me I may be able to help you with photoshop...
