BUILD YOUR OWN THEME
Ok folks, here it is, a change to make your own theme. As cool as I think I am, I bet you guys have some pretty good ideas for themes so Im making this a cooking thread for your own person recipes.
These are the ingredients I need:
- Build type, RC30 and ADP1 are preferred but I can make RC8 as well
- Icon pack, you can find any group of icons to use in an size, this means application icons, status bar icons, just anything you want but you have to supply it
- Image for the status bar in portrait and landscape.
So ya, I am kinda figuring this out as I go so post what you want made into a theme and I will see what I can do.
You rock!! I gather a list for ya and post it soon.

This is a pretty cool idea, though I suspect you're gonna get absolutely flooded with requests
If you need files sizes or types let me know or ask and Im sure a bunch of people can answer.
You do know there are requests for themes here.
You can start with a few of those
gucci theme
i dont really have any real ingredients as you put it jus diff icons and use the gucci colors
Well I was hoping it would be more for the people who know exactly what they want and dont know how to put it together than just the people coming up with new ideas. So if you know you you want my carbon fiber status bar, with the silver status icons from Blue Star 5 and defaults icons with one of your own, I could take those things and make a theme out of them in like 30 minutes.
Just close this thread if you would rather me pick it up in the other thread.
What you stated is exactly what i had in mind. Ill pm with my "wishlist and icons" and we can go from there.

I really like your Karbon theme, id like the status bar just grey like deep black, your status icons , and this battery meter. is this possible?
http://www.filehosting.org/file/deta...parannoyed.rar
Not sure but i think i saw that icon set on deviant art. might want to take a look.
The status icons from Karbon are great, just the batt meter change.
here are a few icons id like included:
D3ath star=settings
Kerry King guitar=my music
internet=browser
email=email
not sure if you are changing the settings context (menu key menu) with pics
craniac=dialer
flame=messaging
book=contacts
I have an idea....this is gonna get carried away lol
Place all pics in a zip folder with a text file directing what should get done and upload a zip ONLY.

Im building it now, I assume you want RC30 right? And if you can get those icons as PNG files with transparent backgrounds it would be best, if not I can see what I can do.
And just to confirm, the status bar in a dark color will make it so you cant see the text, if thats fine its fine with me.
To respond to Mikey1022, would it also be ok to host them on a site like photobucket and link the pic in the post or would you prefer zip files?
Theme ic iconsons

I would just say use your own judgement. If someone will look at the theme and be instantly reminded of another one you pulled from you might want to give a lot of credit to it, but if it was just a platform to start with and its mostly your own creation I would just mention who the theme came from. Just think about it as if it was your theme being used by someone else. Personally its a huge compliment.
you are right perhaps the light grey status bar from macdroid would be better.
Yes RC30, sorry for the lack of info.
I am really contemplating dual booting fedora or mandriva, to better acquaint myself with this stuff.
Ya, I was going to do it with this one but it was way too dark until we can change font colors.
good call, i hope you guys will have access to changing font color soon.
Thanx for doin this, til i force myself to figure it out on my own.
Just for everyone's knowledge, these icons are not my creation. I have collected them over the last year or so from different icon packs mainly downloaded from deviantart. this is mainly a personal theme, that i find appealing for me to look at.
I remember long ago a couple of themes coming out with colored notifications (ex. Green txt msg icon, red gmail envelope, etc).....was wondering if anybody knew of a theme that had them or maybe a metamorph somewhere.....really wanna get em on my g1. Thanks

You can download Ninjamorph from market and do these sorts of things yourself by changing the stat_notify icon in drawable mdpi folder. The reason I'm telling you this is your always going to like the icon here or there or this piece of that theme I was the same way nobody is going to assemble it the way you like not perfect anyway so best thing is mix and match apps from different Metamorphs then Ninja what you couldn't find to your taste. If all this is too intimidating PM and I'll give you the one's I have.
Yea that's what I've been doing as far as mix n match metamorphs but couldn't find the colored notifications. Will try ninjamorph though, appreciate it.

Cant hide Im a big fan of the Tron movies
Im hoping someone might be able to make a glow or Tron type theme-
Here are some pictures of what I was thinking of-

Mainly a blacked out theme with icons and such in a lighter color with a glowing outline around them or something like that.
Anyone else have any interest in this?
There are a couple good tron themes for adw launcher that would give you icon pack and wallpapers.
And a beautiful widget clock skin, as well.

Ive got the launcher and everything set up nice, its just the other things like the status bar at the top, dialer, lock screen etc Id like to match.
I definately think it would look cool, but I also think it would be hard on the battery.

I dont think it would be any worse than other themes since it would be blacked out for the most part so the screen can shut off those pixels.
If someone could do a theme like the first pic that would be siick.
I'm looking for an easy way to change the background color of the notification. I do NOT want to change any icons, notifications, fonts, pulldown menu or anything else. I downloaded a theme that I like other than the notification bar color which makes it difficult to read some icons. Also a focus on the easy way is perfered and I'm not into modification that requires me to edit .zip files.
Thanks in advance for the help.

That's what theme I've got now and I like it other than the Notification Bar color and pattern, should be black or transparent.
While you are in there changing the color of the Notification Bar wanna change another thing while in there? The status bar is green, like when changing volume, loading web sites, downloading progress, ect..., and previously I had a theme that had those blue.

thanx for givin me the opportunity to help the community...
so you want dog gone blues to have a trans or black taskbar & to fix the progress bars to be blue again??? if thats all ill have that done in a couple hrs or less... i could do it faster but im in the middle of makin a requested theme
Yep, that's what I'm lookin for.
Thanks for doing that for me. I haven't gotten that far into MODing my Epic where I make changes or even start from scratch on making themes or other modifications. I got the Samsung Epic days after my son was born so to sit down on a PC and work on this kinda stuff is difficult. I will get into it more probably once the Epic Touch comes out as my son will be old enough to entertain himself while I do this kinda stuff myself.
Thanks again.

unless the theme your using has it baked in then all i gotta do is pull the images from the 1 theme change em white & put em on the other theme, instead of completely re-theming the pd ani add on to what theme your on & all the above
both dont take that long changing the animation's images takes the longest i just need to kno where to start
The same one you made me the last one from but with the honeycomb animation in white. I can post a link for whatever you need ie the blue pulldown ani or the one you made me for th White Shadow theme

Thanks, looks exactly like what I was asking for. Its greatly appreciated that you could do those changes, esp in such a short turn around time.
But... (of course there is always a but) some other things.
Can you get rid of that blue checkerboard pattern that you got rid of in the Notification Bar through out the entire Theme? Messing around with it I noticed that it has that pattern in the apps if you bring up the menu. Really just anywhere that checkerboard blue/black pattern is can just go away as it is annoying and ugly.
Another thing, when in the menu of the Browser and Calendar, if More is selected the background color is dark navy blue and the short cut font color is a real dark grey meaning you can not read it since they are so close in color. So far I have only noticed it in the Browser and Calendar app but guessin that its also elsewhere that I have not came across yet. Can you fix that? Just make it blue instead of navy blue or black or whatever you think would look good.
Last few things, just take out that Shutdown animation as I use the Helix Boot and Shutdown animations. Also remove the font that comes with it so it does not install a new one. Last remove the Calculator app as it has that ugly checkerboard blue/black pattern in it also. All these last things to remove are easy fixes for me to just install over them so not as big of deal but while in there modifying the .zip I thought I would ask.
Thats all I've got. I know its a lot but if ya get to it great, if not I understand, no hurry if you do.
Thanks again for doing what I asked for the first time, and so quickly, but we are all the same, we want our phones just the right way. Then after we get it there we either get sick of it or we jack something up and decided to start from scratch again. Its never ending...
Greenmuggy,
Another thing on a seperate subject. A while ago I made a post asking about this but no one was able to help me. I'm wondering about the Stock Calendar App, really its the Fascinate Stock Calendar App as I like the way it shows upcoming events without entering each date like the Epic Stock Calendar App, if there is a way to add "Saturday" to the First Day of Week setting. It has Sunday and Monday as current options but my actual work week starts on Saturday which is not an option. Just wondering if you had seen way to add this to the Fascinate Stock Calendar App. Its just another one of those minor annoyances that are out there.

Don't worry about adding in Apps, just take those out so it does not overwrite what I already have installed.

damn your picky... lol kiddin. gimmie sum time to figure this out a lil more
just pm me with all the specifics
Ok.. ive searched and bought like 2 themes... and still nothing is what i want!
i tried Black infinitum and Holo white... They do give me white icons yes... the theme "Black Infinitum" is the closest ive managed to find
what i want is: 100% original ICS icons in white... not some ugly % battery or another battery!(no offence..) but 100% stock, but in white..
so what im asking is...
Anyone know a theme wich is black/white instead of black/blue? i want it to be 100% the same icons, but in white..
SOLVED
Go for Photoshop & make them as you like & then : show & share!
don't u think ive allready tried that ? i am not that good at photoshop.. but i know the stuff that i need! but some of the pics are wierd.. so not easy ive seen the pack somewhere.. i know it! but im on CM9 so dunno.
Are you talking about the framework stat_sys icons?
If yes, I'll sort some out for you later tonight when I've finished up a couple of things.
Or
I can teach you how to use Photoshop to get your desired look.

he is using the stock icons in white, but the battery isn't stock... its a meter of some sort.. and i don't want that

So you dont want white "stat_sys" icons you only want white "stat_sys_battery_" icons from the sdk 15?

Thats what i said originally, you want the the stock framework icons from sdk 15(ICS) in white not blue.

You wont find stock ics battery icons in white.
There are too many incompatabilities when overlaying the icons with white, you would need to recreate them individually.
Just use the sense icons and rotate them 90' clock wise
