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

Soooo ... for the past couple days I've decided to give up my Sense ROM on my G2 and switch to CM6.1 Final, with the Gingerbread Theme. But for some reason I can't find a way to install the docks & icons. I've seen on many thread folks asking questions about installing custom docks and icons and I figured I would just start this. If anyone know's how to do it, feel free to post the instructions here.
Thanks!
Checked around to see if there were any rules for starting this thread and I didn't find any reason not too.

The launcher that comes with CM6.1 is ADW Launcher. Personally, I prefer Launcherpro. Both launchers have the ability to change the dock background. Try out launcher pro from the market and see which you prefer. Then you can go into the "Appearance" settings and change the dock to a pre-loaded dock or to a custom dock by selecting "custom" (it will then take you to your SD card to choose your custom image.
As for the icons, I use Bettercut found in the market. But if your not willing to spend, then Desktop Visualizer is another great option. They both allow you to change the shortcut icons.
Hope this helps!
I agree with Nissan. Been using Launcher Pro for about a week now and love it. I tried using a similar app when I was using my Cliq, but it made it super lag. With all the pwer behind the G2, u shouldn't notice anything too drastic as far as performance goes. And if you're overclocked, well then all the better

Damn ADW
I've flirted with ADW the entire day and there is no way to change the dock to anything custom. I'm going to download LP and just use that for my docks/icons and etc. Screw ADW.

Lmao! That's the same way I felt about ADW. ADW uses theme files that you can get in the market. When applied, it changes your wallpaper, icons, and dock background. I'm pretty confident that you will like LP if you don't like ADW.
not only does ADW lack an easy way to theme it but it also lacks 3d app drawer and the flick up app dock is super laggy on Vision, at least it was the last time I used it.... LPFTW!

"It" being changing the dock background. I meant to post my screen to show some folks but for some reason it didn't post.
The black background of HTC's Sense looks really lo-tech to me, like they're not even trying to make it look decent. In my opinion, they could have at least given it a gradient layer.
Anywho, is there a way to get a transparent app drawer background without changing launchers? I've really grown to like Sense GUI and all it's useful little widgets
If this isn't possible, can the app drawer background at least be changed to a custom image of some sort? Or as a more general question, can the drawer be altered in any other way, shape, or form, besides the column/row number?

you can change your theme, by using uot kitchen, just change the part you like , in your case transparency under options...
here is a link : http://uot.dakra.lt/
I don't know. I've used UOT Kitchen before, but I've never come across any such option. Would you, or anyone else, mind telling me which tab to look under?
Tried it in my rom, but it didnt work.
You need to decompile rosie.apk and change colors in xml files.
Custom images not possible.
Google it on xda forum.

Oh, well. I guess I can live with a black app drawer then I'd have tried doing that, but since a more experienced person couldn't do it, I don't see why I should bother with it.
@b02
You misunderstood, I meant the app drawer, not the pull-down status bar, but thanks for the reply =]

with semi transparent status bar.
thank you.
i like the one in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21115614&postcount=1 it's just that it's 4x5.
i cannot post to that thread...low post count.
thanks!
You could go launcher ex it has that option to change the app drawer background
If you use Go Launcher, you lose the Sense widgets which is considered by many to be one of Sense's biggest features... And the OP mentioned that he liked the widgets.
And this thread was ages old!
App Drawer and Dock
Has anybody got a zip that will make the app drawer and dock transparent. I'm running sense and no ROM.
I like seeing living things in my homescreen, and I was looking for a clock widget that had the seconds in it and couldn't find one that I really really like, that's why I developed this clock widget, It is simple, clean and beautiful, please give it a try and leave me some feedback right here.

Pretty nice but I don't like the font. Would be so much better with just regular Roboto or some other thin font.

You ever tried Minimalistic Text app-widget?
this app shows the time in text, the user-interface of all the settings is not pretty, but the widget shows a nice clock as text.
I installed your app, And i understand what you mean, just a plain simple clock as widget would be nice.
So when i wanted to use your clock i could not find it anywhere between the widgets in the menu?
Teoctist
If you could make the days more visible? Like putting in bottom and havin it full name?
Nice work
Downloading.

It should be in the widgets menu, sometimes when I install widgets that happens to me too, I believe that android takes some minutes to refresh the widgets in the widgets menu.

I'm releasing an update in this week that removes the icon from the drawer as well as other improvements to the widget.
I'm after some icon pack suggestions please. All the ones I've found that look promising have a lot of icons missing and/or the masking function doesn't play well so you can tell that there missing.

I have been using stealth icon pack since forever, and after trying out different packs always come back to this one. Perfect for dark backgrounds and oled displays.

Ooh nice. I had forgotten all about that one. Thank you
Currently running Pixel Pie Icon Pack with over 11000 icons.
Guys, try Minimo. Great icon pack, works with most wallpapers.
I like Borleas.
Appstract icons are an absolute go for the Doodle live wallpaper.
Circo
Really nice colorful icons that work with the Pixel mods for stock launcher. Use it with the Pokemon background or something similar.
I've been using 2 different packs switching back and forth between ruggon and drawon they're pretty cool especially with pitch black wallpaper the colors are great
