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?

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.
Hi guys,i research with no result for the ICONS of the TOPBAR.
Should we tell me where I found anything?
Thx.
Icons
try this will give you much better icons for the top bar, i use it and it looks great.
Ok..thanks a lot.
If someone have other icons for the topbar I should appreciate you if post it.
Sorry for my bad english.

151 views and no comments are the icons that bad?
Well, thanks for share them, but perhaps when all arrive at the post just go to the next one because they were expeting some screenshots. It should be better if you have just put the screenshots in the post.
How I can install the simpson icons? I've putted them into the windows dir, but nothing happens. Why?
EDIT: resolved!!! I've forgiven to uninstall the slider set icon cab 1st. Fantastic Icons, can you do the same icons for subtabs?(contacts,music, etc.)
Anyway good job!
This is awesome!!!!!!!
Hi @ll,
I'm looking for some customs' framework-res files.
Trying to build my own, but I'm not doing that good
I just wanna change the status bar incl. the icons etc.
Maybe someone has one.
I'm using the KE7 Firmware, but it doesn't matter for other too.
Thanks
regards
You don't really need a custom framework to change icons and the status bar, just a theme, although that's essentialy what your creating when you apply a theme.
What do you want to do with the status bar? Remove clock, remove date, change the colour of the text, centre the text?
Hi, thanks for your quick reply. I don't wanna using themes. It's not my thing.
I like the stock design. It's like you said, changing the WLAN, Battery(is changed), Date color, as you wrote.
Have a look at my sig, how to theme, it's a very good thread and very helpful.
thanks, i will try.
Your welcome.
If you need any help send me a pm and I'll try help you along.
