Hey guys. I have been on CM7 for a while now but have never used or even looked at the Theme Engine before. I was hoping that you guys could answer a few basic questions about it:
1. Are these THEMES also launchers as well? Currently I am using CM7 with GoLauncher. If I install a Theme will it replace Go Launcher as the default launcher or will it theme Go Launcher?
2. Is there a massive thread that has a list of all the CM7 Themes? I have only been able to find individual theme threads (MattedBlues, etc.)
3. I like custom icons but I hate when I have apps that aren't supported...they stick out like a sore thumb on the desktop. Is that the issue with the THEME ENGINE themes or do they alter the default icons on their own?
Thanks in advance!
1)the themes dont overwrite your launcher,use what you prefer.
2)I believe there is a thread somewhere with all themes try google,there is also alot of them on the market.
3)some themes do have custom icons,depends on what the theme creator included.
Here's a list of some themes.you want HDPI for the evo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046108

Thanks a lot for your input guys! I tried a few out. The only thing I'm not liking is when there are custom icons. More than likely they don't have customized icons for ALL the apps you want to display on your desktop. Then you either have to have ugly mismatching icons or remove the unsupported icons from your desktop altogether.
Can any of you guys advise on a THEME that themes all your existing icons?

Thank you Fergie....that is the exact idea I was looking for. Do you know if there is a black theme that has a similar effect (making all of your icons have a dark/black tint? I already tried DarkGinger. but it only has customized icons...and not very many of them.

I want to use launcher pro but im quite confused on how to theme it and where i can find themes too. If someone can aid me that would be wonderful. Thanks

Certain aspects of Launcher Pro are not that theme-able for noobs. For example, the widget backgrounds are not png images but hard coded colors. However, XDA member Signals23 has put together several themes and updates them regularly. Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783427
Also, if you check out the forums over at launcherpro there are a few others floating around. I know Benny879 from Droidforums has put together a Gingerbread theme and also a Galaxy S theme for Launcher Pro.

my htc evo runing myns rls5 rom and yes its the **** lls
I have looked and searched and i cannot find a thread on this and i am thinking i might be barking up the wrong tree.
I run the stock launcher on cm7 and super cm7 and i would like to change the color of the three icons on the bottom or the homescreen and thats it. Colors of everything else i want to stay the same. Is this even possible?
I do not want to run lp or adw. I'll stay with green if thats the case.
If you change themes with the theme chooser it should change. That's if you don't mind switching themes.

Not to be a **** but the OP says I want everything else to stay the same. Why would you suggest switching themes.
Guess ill just figure out how to export this theme and change icons myself through theme manager. I was hoping maybe someone would know a quick and easy way of changing the color.

you should be able to modify the dock pngs in the launcher apk without trouble. I've changed colors around on a vanilla launcher before... just decompiled the launcher apk, changed the pngs I wanted to change, compiled and replaced the apk.. voila.
Awesome. Thanks.

You can use ninja morphology, that's how I got mattedblue colors on my stock launcher. Although ever since adw ex got updated I've been using it.
got the decompile thing down. guess all there is to do is find out how good i am in gimp.
thanks again
Why don't you use adw ex? It's so much better than the stock and you get to keep the gingerbread dock but customize icons and their colors...You really cannot go wrong...
Anybody have the stock image icons for the Phone, Contacts, and Messaging apps that they can provide? Most themes alter them when theming the apps and the altered icons don't look as good. :/ What I'd like to do is switch them back to stock after the theme themes them to have the apps themed with the original icons. Any help is appreciated.
the screenshot shows which ones I'm looking for circled.
You can rip the icons from the stock rom. do u know how to do basic theming? You can use ninija morph.

Hey guys,
I was fairly disappointed by the amount of gingerbread styling left over using apps that havent been designed to use the new holo theme.
I have taken it upon myself to remove the default gingerbread styling and move to the holo resources.
This fix is all xml and uses no additional images.
To incorporate I believe you can just move over the styles.xml to framework-res.apk/values/styles.xml
Anyone using this theme please provide feedback since there may be buggy or incorrectly themed instances throughout.

No, it adds most holo theme elements such as menus, progress circles, scrollbars, etc.
BlackDino,
Can you merge this fix to your FULL ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588613
It's a COLOR Gradient Fix in System Settings for ICS because the Color Gradient there is not good and heavily jagged.
Thanks a lot. LOL.
Thanks so much for this
I ported styles.xml to my mod for Captivate and of course gave you credit!

Updated,
New version up guys. Change your styles.xml
Wow. Looks beautiful. At last ICS seems complete. Unfortunately changing the list popups background to dark sometimes causes letter color issues. For example in Tapatalk. But it is not a big problem for me. Big thanks for this mod.

ah, thanks man.
Ill fix the progress bar on the next version.
As for any weird colors on menus I can't really fix them.
This is from app developers using inline styles and not following the android style guide lines
Impressive! New Color Gradient Fix will be up again soon because I found there's still some places which have ugly Color Gradient. I think you'll need to update soon. LOL.

Thanks for the CWM Flashable zip, I'm loving it.
I think this FIX should be merged to all UP COMING ROMs. It's simply AWESOME!

This theme does nothing more then to replace the gingerbread styling in legacy apps. Are you sure you're not just over looking the theme?

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.
