So the rom/theme I'm using uses green for a highlight/select color, but I like the blue (or possibly purple or something for some). I was wondering what elements where would need to be edited?
It's not the only thing I'd want to edit, so really the starting point should be sufficient.

You need to read the how to theme threads. Your awnsers are in there. The green highlights arte either controlled by images or xml code. Everything is found in the framework-res.apk that would need to be changed. In order to edit an xml file you need to de compile the apk. Images can just be dragged and dropped using 7zip our winrar

The theming how to has been really great so far, there is a section of the How To that lists all the tools you will need her. I am working on switching my color from blue to red! I am playing with shades of red and trying to figure out a way to change the highlighting shape on the keypad.. want to change it from a square / rectangle to a star.

Many of you may have probably played or seen the tower defense game (cannot find it now sigh - wonder if it has been pulled from the market)... anyway, a tower defense game had awesome neon edges and menus. Also, Glow Hockey is a good example. A light green or blue neon for the dialer number edges and what not (I think) would look sweet and could be incorporated throughout.
I've began to learn from dreamsforgotten's tutorial on theming and I'm getting somewhere, but I'm slow-learning Gimp and it's going to take me forever.
Maybe dreams or jstine or another talented themer would like to tackle this...

I would but right now I am working on a dark red theme with maybe red flames in certain spots in the rom. Could happen when we start to see EB13 roms have a standard OPS, we can spend more time just making themes and not worry which rom they will work on.. If that doesn't happen then I will only build themes for roms based on ACS releases.
Ok the dark red theme is done

Take one of my themes and use Gimp under filters is an option for drop shadows. Set the color you want, then non resize, x= 0 & y=0 with radius to anywhere's from 5 to 15 depending on the size of the image and how much of an edge you have in the image. If the image is edge to edge then hit copy, clear, paste, layer, resize the layer to 5 pixels less and then use the drop shadow. That's how you can get the theme you are looking for. You may use any or all of my images in your theme, all I ask for is some credit if you release the theme to the wild. I'm alway willing to help with questions.

I did a theme that has a neon blue feel to it if you want to look at it. It's still in it's early stages, but maybe worth a look.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021013
Ok jstine way would work for neon, but there is a easy way of doing this neon affect in Gimp you are looking for. You will need to download a up to date script-fu pack for Gimp. After you install this you will notice on your top tool bar a script-fu option tab right next to your filters option. You merely take an existing image or let's say button png. Make it completely black and then in your toolbox where it lists your layers right click on the layer and choose alpha selection, then go up to your script-fu tab and select glow selection. This will make a ring around any image that is alpha selected. You can choose your color, border thicknes and glow radius to give your neon effect. It is really quick and easy to do after you do it once, so easy that you could knock out an entire theme out relatively quick. Hope this helps you with your gimping!

Best you'll get is using gingerbread theme with a camo wallpaper =/
it's not updated but if you remove the app's from the zip it'll work.

i was thinking something with the basic green found in a camo or more specifically found in the color palette: http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/88903/Gridlocked
i found a lot of color schemes that are nice on this link: http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2007/08/02/best-of-color-inspiration-130-green-color-palettes/
This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.
Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.
Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.
Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.
I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

I sent a message to the forum administrator as the error message it gives you tells you to do so but its been 3+ months and I never heard back from the guy
I love all the ICS themes out, along with the minimal black and white, but I was really hoping for a combination of the two. I was thinking of an ICS theme, but without the ICS blue integrated into it and instead keeping text, notification bar, etc all white. Any other interest in this? I've never themed before and while I would like to learn, I don't exactly have a bunch of spare time to work on it. Just curious if anyone would be interested in taking on this task.
I'd like to see this done

+10 ... but I doubt anyone will do it, reason been there's another black and white minimal but maybe we get lucky
I must say that banks has pretty much already did this and it rocks.
I assume you're talking about his minimal black and white theme...it is awesome, but what I was proposing is a more stock ICS feel (dialer, notification bar, stock ICS icons) but with the minimal black and white color scheme. I might have to try to find some time to learn to theme.

The only problem with Black and White themes is that some icons will be black/white and others (from the market) will be colored and it creates an obsolete theme. That's the reason I haven't made a Black/White theme myself.

Yeah, especially gapps. Its something you would constantly stay on top of but even hitting the dialer, contacts, messaging and status bar icons is enough. People like B-Boy, Decalex, Rujelus handle the GMail, Dropbox, Google+, etc inverted apps
