Running gingerbread-evo-deck [1.0][2.3.3 Stable][1.2w][2.3.4 Beta] with Tiamat kernel ... All I want to know is how do I get some of these themes with different home screen set ups and screen locks? Can I use any of them on this rom and how in the world do I do it? Sorry for stupid questions but I have searched and can't find anything specific to what I am asking. Thanks in advance fam.

Ok, I got the themes thing down. Now I'm seeing different lock screens, different homescreen menus, as far as the bottom of the screen with phone, internet, mail and things like that. How can I get the ones I'm liking?

you can also flash themes. those change lockscreens, and other non-apk things that theme chooser can't. not sure what ur talking about 'bottom of the screen'.

I just flashed cyanogenmod and at the bottom of the main screen I have a phone icon, menu icon and the internet icon. But I've seen others that have phone, Gmail, internet and a few others

That is all in the settings of the launcher you are using. I'm using launcher pro and have a different layout with the matted blues theme. Lock screen is widgetlocker. (Highly recommend) With battery status widget and minimal text widget.

I think you're talking about docks, widgetlocker themes, and whatnot. These aren't included in themes, people gather them from different places and put them together.
Depending on what home app you're using, you may be able to change the dock background. All home replacement apps (at least the major, reputable ones) allow for changing of dock icons. Head over to the Android Themes section and check out the stuff there. The "Post Your Homescreen" thread would be a good place to look and get ideas. I'm sure there's some noob guide to theming.
If you want your lockscreen to look like the screenshots you see, get Widgetlocker. It's around $2, but more than worth it. There's a thread of themes to change your sliders, check it out if you decide to buy the app. Also check out the FAQ thread for WidgetLocker to help you figure it out.
The three most popular home replacement apps are LauncherPro/LauncherPro Plus, ADW Launcher/ADW Ex, and Go Launcher Ex. My personal favorite is ADW Ex, a lot of people are die-hard LP+ users. I personally don't care for Go, it felt kind of clunky and tacky to me, but a lot of people like it because it has the features of paid launchers for free.
All of the home apps I mentioned allow for changing the dock background except for the free ADW (as far as I know). You can find dock backgrounds and icons here on xda in the themes section.
Have fun!

And here are the icons if you want to use them I did not make these. All credit goes to ManUp. He did a great job on them. Do not flash this zip, just open it up and the icons will be there.

Not at all, actually I was gonna ask you where you got the 960*800 MB wall. When I was on CM7, I would only run the nightlies that Matted Blues was compatible with... absolutely my favorite theme evar. The only version of that wallpaper I could find was too small, you mind attaching it for me?
I wear dresses and wax my eyebrows, but that doesn't make Matted Blues girly

Can I get the "Fresh" styled launch bar on a different ROM?

For some reason I really like that launcher bar at the bottom of Fresh 0.5.3. But I'm curious to take another ROM for a spin just for the fun of it.
Is there a file or theme that I can use to put that launcher back? I can't seem to find one, but thought I'd ask to be sure.
TIA
Take it out of development and go into General or Q&A.
Search the market for launchers.
But I think this would be a development issue. It's a matter of if anybody else out there has noticed a mod or .zip that somebody has developed that changes only the style of the launcher bar. Not looking for ADW, ahome, or or another launcher apk. Just a .zip file. Just a random shot in the dark to the forum.
If it helps that bar is from espresso ui

It is a Metamorph, look it up on the market, or better yet, here on xda. basically it is an easy way to theme your phone.

Basically what you are looking for is an expresso rosie. There should be plenty of themes that you can apply that use that rosie. I know konikub has made a couple of themes for DC. I believe that at least one of them is expresso. May want to give that a shot.

Launcher pro or ADW text icons

I've seen a few people in the show us your homescreen thread who have text icons for the apps in their dock, I.e. sms, phone, net etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting them?

Nice work bro, now I have many options, lol....would you guys know how to use custom icons for launcher pro (not in the dock but everywhere else?) I really like launcher pro but adw allows you to customize all the icons/theme so that's what I'm using for now
Wow I'm really diggin the green and red sets that you uploaded, decal. Not necessarily a big fan of either colors (i'm more of a blue guy myself but that can easily be changed) but I think it's the fact that I can actually read them without squinting! lol.
Yeah if you have photo shop you can also make these. I took the launcher pro icons and opened them and made them black to go with my dark theme.

I am using these icons: http://digitalstylewars.com/?page_id=209
with Launcher Pro. Launcher Pro also lets you set custom icons. Just do the following:
1 - Menu->Add or long-press the screen to choose "Shortcuts"
2 - Choose "Applications"
3 - Choose an app.
4 - Touch the icon and choose any of the text icons you have downloaded.

I recommend just going to the market, typing in ADW gingerbread theme, downloading and going to your theme setting under ADW, and applying the theme.
Otherwise, just goto google and type in under images, gingerbread dock, and save the image and apply as dock background.
I never liked the rounded ones either When I used to got for the gingerbread look, that is.

Themes Don't Change Every Icon

I have been trying out different themes for my phone, but what I came to notice is that not all of the icons match the theme and stay stock, and it looks stupid. Is there any way around this?
usually theme creators only theme the most common apps
Guess you gotta stick with the themes that don't mod the icons then

I'm talking about themes downloaded from the market for ADW.Launcher on CM7.2 RC3.
Your not going to find an adw theme that changes all apps. What you can do is if there is a popular app that is not themed, you can always contact the dev and ask nicely that it be put into the next update. I think a lot of devs just hit the basics and post to market quickly to make a few bucks. But some of the better ones will actually take the time to listen to their customers and incorporate requests.

What about some of the lettered icon packs?(Icon pack A,B,C, etc.) I've noticed there are a few if them, so maybe try those and see if they have what you're looking for.
A couple of devs have even posted numerous packs of 50-100 icons each....they are paid, but they should cover just about everything.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Also some themes don't have direct replacment icons, rather, they have a lot of generic icons. For instance, if you use a 3rd party twitter app, you can use the stock Twitter icon.

Apologies if I'm breaking any rules but....

1st off I wanna say no disrespect to the devs...I appreciate all the hard work that goes into all the awesome roms...seems that with all the talk of jellybean and without an official ics release that THEMING has taking a back seat..although i am enjoying team rejects change of pace (annihilation is awesome!) And I love the look of miui but I can't get it to work good enough for me to use as my daily,with that being said I kinda long for the days of a DUSK theme or an all white with black letter theme like the GTX rom I had on my TP2 I think these would look sweet on my et4g...anyone willing to work on anything similar to these?

Not really any more than having Sense or something like that on your phone, its more of a kernel thing and we have some great evo specific kernel devs over here, you just have to find a pure AOSP rom without all the Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur overlays, then just add your own Widgets icons launcher dialer keyboard font over that and create your personalized interface the way you want it....

was gonna post this elsewhere, but here's as good as a place as any i suppose. for those that want to mess around with theming here's a great place to start. it's a vrtheme template for our phone. It should work with most roms. here's a link with some quick info and the download link with our updated binary. all thanks to the villianrom team for a great template/idea
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/about-villaintheme-system.4971/
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddi2vc7qeg2y44x
basically instead of having to decompile and recompile apk's and have a complete and working apk to flash, this only requires that you place the images, xml's etc in the correct folder structure. everything is in the vrtheme folder in the zip. so to theme a system app, say systemui, you would create a folder called SystemUI.apk in the correct folder structure, namely vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk. then all you have to do is drag and drop the images you want swapped into the proper folder locations. I included an example folder structure for images in drawable-hdpi for systemui and framework-res to get ya started. beauty of this is you can literally drag and drop whole sections of other themes into the template and it will just replace those images on our phone. So if those themes in the OP have same sized images and same names, you could just drag and drop those into the respective vrtheme zip folder and flash away. Make sense? just starting to get this going again on our phones, so mess around, but be careful, I'm obviously not responsible to anything you do
it can also be used to theme paid apps, which is sweet. since your not actually including the apk itself, and the app has to be in the location specified before you apply the theme.
