[themes] transparent manila

It isn't a real theme. I have make some changes so as we have better looking
at our backgrounds. You can use it with all your wallpapers.
When we have the same background at all the Tabs, there is a problem if we use colored wallpapers or photos.
The problem has to make with the icons because they are black and look very bad.
I found a very simple solution for that. I made 50% transparent all the icons so as they look little darker than the color which has our background.
You can use it with any background color, dark or light.
Maybe later I make them real crystal, but need a lot work and I have not so match time these days.
If you like my fonds you can find them here (Thanks to Onkolog)

last update 07/04/09
I have add at the People Tab the bigger transparent icons.
So I changed the CAB. Download the new one.

very nice! does this include the font used for the titles (e.g., Weather)? if not, what is the font name and how does one install to their device? also, when you press one of the transparent icons (like the call mobile button on the people page) does it change so you know it's been pressed? thanks!

Hi nanoo-eg
Please put your Picture in your Post.
The link is really bad. I don't know the others, but with me, I can't see it.
This's your second thread with I would like to see the picts.
Thanks,
KCJ

works & looks very nice on my device! i like the way they're in the background. in case you plan to refine, i'd like to share with you my observations for the people page: there are some people icons that aren't transparent depending upon the type of numbers (mobile, home) and the number of contact items (e.g., mobile, email, home). for example, if a person has only a mobile number, manila uses different (larger) icons for the mobile and text icons. neither icon is transparent. also if a person has a mobile, home and work number, and an email address, the work number icon is not transparent, but the others are transparent. hope this helps! your time, effort and contributions are very much appreciated!

looks great.does your slider work with the stock tab?mine does the ugly double icon thing! if yes can i have it.

Yes there is problem. It happens because I made my tests with a contact which has 4 icons (mobile-home-sms-mail). I will fix it right now and I 'll give new CAB

I am sorry but I am not sure if I understand you well.
Like I write at the first post it isn't a real theme.
Just I made the icons which there are on every TAB to be transparent so as every wallpaper you use, looks better because original icons have black background around them. (You must use the same wallpaper for all Tabs. If your wallpaper it is black you don't need to install this cab). But if you use a photo like a background, you need the transparency.
For example I changed to tranparency at Music Tab, the 4 icons play, pause, preview song, next song. The same I made for all the Tabs.
I don't know if I answer at your questions.

Thanks a lot, will try to use it.

This was were i was looking for, thx!

Changing the color of menu button text

Hey, I am working on a motoblur theme for CM, and I have almost everything perfect. EXEPT the text on all of the buttons and stuff is black against a dark grey button. Can anyone help me out with getting the text on the buttons to be white so they are readable?
Also, another problem I'm having is with the backgrounds. I moved all of the small and normal backgrounds from motoblur into the launcher.apk of my theme, but they are not showing up in the list. Can anyone help out here, either?
Thanks everyone!

i have wondered about the font color as well for a while.
but for the wallpapers, make sure they are named the same as the wallpapers currently in launcher.apk

yo yo
hey man. yeah those wall papers have been pissing me off. i finished two different themes, and that launcher hindered both, thus causing me to start alllll over again. im using this 2.0 sht now, its pretty sick, theres a lot of new **** on 2.0, like a bad ass dock, with all these settings widgets, etc, my theme should be up a little later today. keep and eye out. and Freeky, pm me, lets get this collab going down!

im not 100% sure but I think that irrenhaus' advanced launcher allows you to actually add wallpapers to it .... also i know that if you build Launcher from source you can add your wallpapers in that way

[Theme] MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.8-DS (Black Bar) [6-19-2010]

Thanks for all the hard work Cyanogen and Team. You Rock!
This is a simple theme for CM's Live Stable Eclair 5.0.7-DS. MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.7-DS It has a Black Bar. Some of it has been collected from other Themers. Some has been created by me. I start with CM's files and replace PNGs only. The 5 APKs I edit are Framework, Launcher, MMS, Email, and Settings. The wall paper I used is from Ubuntu a few versions back.
5/20/2010 - Test7 changed the ballgame on me. I thought I was having problems getting the clock color to change from black to white. Turns out, it is now a feature of Test7. After flashing my theme you will need to go into Spare Parts and change the color of the "Date" and the "Clock". The fun thing is now you are not limited to what I choose for you. You can choose from several colors. Kewl! I also discovered which .9.png to modify to get the search to have a black background. Enjoy!
5/27/2010 - Updated to include a couple of edits to ADW.Launcher.0.7rc3 Just to keep it inline with my taste. It is a full version with my theme edits applied. Awesome work AnderWeb! Donation coming your way. Link below.
06/05/2010 - Here we go again. I can't help myself I've started down the road on the new CM-5.0.8-DS test builds. My slightly themed ADW Launcher hasn't changed and it still works well with the new test1.
06/06/2010 - I changed some more icons. I didn't like what I had done to the bright popup PNGs. I changed that back to the white instead of the biegie-gold. I also cleaned up the CD image in Music so it doesn't have the black background. That is now transparent.
06/07/2010 - Updated for CM-5.0.8-DS-Test2. Fixed the USB Debugging notify icon. Somehow, I don't know how far back, the DPI for the icon was set slightly off. It was 71.986dpi instead of 72dpi. (go figure) I changed the USB Connected icon color from my previous yellow to more of a gold color. I changed the Bright popups to a more opaque white with a gold beveled edge. I like it better than the biegy-orange color I had before (Dirty Blueshirt liked) and I like it better than the transparent white. Not much else changed except CM has incorporated ADW's Launcher into the Test ROM (three cheers for CM!) So you don't need to flash the ADW.Launcher after my theme.
06/10/2010 - I had some problems with Test3 and Test4. I ended up having to wipe and reflash. I don't think it was anything to do with the Theme. I was having some lag issues when trying to make or answer phone calls. All is well now. Since 3 and 4 happened so quickly I ended up skipping 3. I had to make some adjustments with my files and locations to match the new Settings layout including SpareParts and ADWLauncher. I really like having that all together now.
06/19/2010 - Nothing much changed in my stuff. I just updated it to work with CM-5.0.8-DS
It's old school... I haven't got into the metamorph yet.
Copy to SD
Nandroid backup (always)
Flash the zip

Really enjoyed this theme on t4. Nice work indeed.
Your current link for t5 points to the file "update-cm-5.0.7-DS-test5-signed.zip".
I think this may be in error. I would like to DL your new theme once you get the link up.
Thanks for your work again!

yeah.. lemme know when you ge the DL link & name right

Oops

Widget
pretty awesome looking theme can someone tell me where to find that 1X4 widget with the weather and time? I've been looking all over for it ... thanks in adv

mine is actually weather widgets 1x2 and digital clock 1x2 the one in the market with the clouds on the icon. The one you are looking for is actually Beautiful Widgets. I was looking for it too.
I was using the Weather Widgets flip clock but it constantly stopped keeping time. They have a weather service to help stop that but it was killing my battery. I'm having other problem with weather widget now so I may just drop that completely and use the Beautiful Widgets clock.

G mail appearance question

Hi guys. I was wondering if someone could answer this for me . The appearance of my Gmail app inbox has gone dark grey background with white txt and new mail comes in with a black background with white txt.
This is quite annoying as i don't remember changing any settings and i am finding it a bit off putting.
I can't for the life of me find how to change it back to the white background.
Can anybody point it out to me pls??
Sent from another GALAXY

a dark-themed gmail app? I'd kill to have that...

Dunno how it happened. It was white till yesterday. I have the latest version installed but the icon is even slightly different to my friends ones. I've got a closed envelope with 'M 'Im the middle whereas my friends have a 'M ' popping up out of the envelope. Strange. . . .
Sent from another GALAXY

are you sure it's the real gmail app? check the about section.
could you attach the apk?

Have you played with any THEMES for your phone? Usually, some themes are coming with few themed applications ...
The themed applications are getting installed at once with the phone theme, w/o any warning or info.
If you did install a phone theme, look inside the zip file (the theme itself) under system/app ... if you see a gmail.apk there, then you just found out how you've ended with a black gmail app.
P.S.: I'm also interested in getting your themed gmail. apk file

I've tried a few different themes the last few days to honest . Have them all on my sd card. Just checked and the only one with a Gmail.apk is gingermix. Maybe this is where it came from .
I've changed since though and wiped cache and dalvik first??
If you guys explain how i can attach the Gmail.apk then no prob. Can i do it on my SGS?
Sent from another GALAXY

I've ran some tests based on your input and YES, the gingermix theme is the culprit here ...
Please find attached the gingermix themed gmail apk and also the stock gmail. Both packages are installable via CWM.
I personally like more the gingermix themed one ... thanks for bringing this issue up

Its funny actually. Now that I've copped it i see bits of various themes all over my phone. . Lol.
I have generation x blue theme installed right now but also see these :
Gmail.apk from gingermix v4
Dialer, phone.apk and message icon from jumba 2.5

A little off topic but if i was to revert back to stock theme can i flash a notification bar from one theme and a separate battery,icon set from another??
Sent from another GALAXY

I've uploaded again the zips with the gmail.apk only .. it was something wrong with the update scripts earlier (I've edited the scripts with wordpad so it got screwed up).

If you like to play with the themes, you will have to use a deodexed rom in the forst place, then you can play with various png files inside the framework-res.apk file under /system/framework dorectory (this is quite dangerous if you're not really sure what you are doing IMO).
Personally I'm using the Generation X V2.0B with some elements from generationX V1.14 (wifi icons to be more exact), some personal touch-ups in the buttons for the AOSP unlock screen and puzzle unlock, modified taskbar ... and some various themed applications that are going really well with this theme
If anyone is interested I can share it. I'm not taking credit for anything .. these are just things found here, on this very forum

I would like that alright. Is that the standard looking wifi icon as opposed to the battle axe looking one in v2?
Im using gen x v2 hard blue but finding some txt hard to read Im the menus.

I've just turned off my computer. I'll upload the files tomorrow morning.
The wifi icon is the one used in v1.14 (the axe looking one).

[REQ]White Icons

I have been searching the forums for an icon pack that is just plain bright white and compatible with CM9 or AOKP(although I really don't know that compatibility is an issue with icons, maybe someone can correct me there) and am not finding anything.
I'm really not looking for anything too fancy, just basic icons that are a bright white instead of the stock icons, similar to what you see in the Black Infinitum theme menus. I'm not really looking for much, just standard apps (gmail, calendar, messaging, phone, play, contacts, email, camera, maps, navigation, calculator, browser, voice) and maybe a few others of the really popular apps (facebook, dropbox, scorecenter, etc...)
If anyone could point me to icons that would work I would appreciate it, if there are none if a dev could take it on I would also appreciate it very much.
Thanks!

You can buy droidicon on the market for $5. It has a number of icon packs available in a number of colors and styles. It was previously called launcher pro icons and docks and meant for lpp, but you can use them on any launcher that you can change icons on. You will have to edit them yourself though, you can't install them as a theme or pack. You download the icons one by one from a list. I use the white icons on it for aokp with nova launcher, pics for the doc and text for the nav bar, they look really good. I would post screenies but I'm running miui.us atm. Hope I could help tho.

I used that for awhile... some of the icons are pretty generic, but the custimazation options are limitless, which more than makes up for it...

I really like that! I am going to give it a shot.
[EDIT] So I installed it and REALLY like these icons. They are pretty run of the mill designwise, but I wasn't looking for anything too off the wall anyway. What a great find, thank you!
