Didn't put this in Themes, since it doesn't exist yet.
Anyways, I was thinking about going ahead and finally diving into theming... however I didn't want to just go with what's been done before. I wanted to create something new. Something different. Something that doesn't try to be something it isn't (yes, I stole that from the Google event speech).
Sat down with photoshop and 3 hours time. This is what I came up with, and I'm here for opinions:

}
Of course, nothing about this is set in stone, that's why I'm here. Testing the waters if you will.
So... thoughts?
Looks cool. i think it would be much easier if the notification Widgets were
+ lit up = activated
x darkened = deactivated
Just a thought
Also if you could make one with a more neutral colored theme I would be sure to use it. Blue and yellow reminds me of my most hated elementary school

I was thinking along the lines of "X" for turn it off (since it's on), and "+" for turn it on (since it's off). I can see what you're thinking though.
I was building it on a complementary color system, but I can look into other colors too.

I'll look into changing the yellow, since nobody seems to like it.
I like it. Especially the X being the only, If you follow the Slenderman mythos that is the operator symbol. I like it cause it says that the item with the symbol is in operation.

Awesome.
Looks like I'll go ahead and start learning to theme then. Anyone have any suggestions as to what color to replace the yellow with?
Also, does anyone know if drop-shadows (or just a black glow) are possible in a theme?
Looks clean and cool... I even sorta kinda liked your yellow! Haha.... Would definitely run your theme if you decided to make it.
Yeah, I think your colors look good, I am interested to see how it turns out
Looks like something out of the X-Men comics. I like it a lot!

ok, i thought id take a shot at this because i really dont want to do this all by myself. i'm considering undertaking a theming project that will include woodgrain graphics all over. im not talking about anything cheezy looking thrown together like a 2-year-old, im looking to go all out on this and its gonna be a nice, elegant, darkish theme such as the inside of a bmw with black leather. the wood? maybe something this shade or a little darker...

anyway post in the thread if you think you can help. i'll be assigning images to work on so dont worry about actual "theming" know-how. ps move this if you dont think its in the right place.
Sounds like a great idea. Best of luck on this theme. I would rock it on my phone.

This could be interesting.. I've always been a fan of the dark woodgrain tho, like the dark greyish blues with some cream highlights or somethin? Maybe a dark woodgrain status bar with a creamy looking lockscreen? I dunno but I'm intrigued and will check back. Sorry I'm no themer or dev but would I'd flash it and leave feedback for ya when it was done.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608607&page=2
I'm sure you can do a google image search of woodgrain, but came across this on XDA.
I think this would be awesome and have considered it myself but I anticipated distortion problems would arise with the stretching of .9.png images. As for images try searching google for woodgrain textures for use in 3d renderings. There are lots of free ones available for public use and its easier then creating from scratch or trying to modify a photograph. Good luck I'm curious to see your results.

Yes we will have to have horizontal grain.. I think that'll help the skewing.
cd's or tapes?
Feel free to PM me a couple of ideas that you would want worked on and I will see what I can come up with. Are you looking for everything custom like wallpapers and icons?

That stuff can totally come last. Framework and twframework will definitely be priority.

Just a headsup... adw theme already exists. And so does beautiful widgets and its all embossed so it looks slick.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
yeah ive seen them both man i love those programs. just need some slick framework to go with them. im gonna get started on this soon.. just have to get some kinks worked out with gingerbread on my phone.. might just wait till official drops, as i really dont care to run the leak for testing, i need overclocking for emulators.

Haha! I'm not sure how most of you react to this, i wasn't really planning to share it either. Just thought i'd fire up photoshop a bit since i enjoy doing that every once in a while. But I thought meh, it won't hurt.
This concept is far from done, for instance the battery icon, the text message menu and a few other things i'm personally still not satisfied with. I was even planning to design my own imagination of an app drawer. If i had the skill to implement this UI to a rom i'd probably spend a few days trying to hit the nail perfectly, but guess what? I have not the slightest clue of anything to do with a rom other then flashing.

Haha! The things over there are beautiful. As much as i like the things there, i find things like this need to be implemented into a rom to have the full feeling. When you click it, it just doesn't give the level of satisfactions without a proper animation. This, of course, is just my opinion.
I remember designing my own homescreen using the apps and what ever else methods they had over there, i loved the design itself but when clicking an icon it just fell so dull. It would open up regularly. If the icon would bounce off the screen or if the animations are tuned(implemented). I believe that would not only give a good design it would make it feel good too.
Very cool idea with that text thing :good:

Well you just gave me back my donation . OH well.. anyways the next color i plan on doing is a Royal Blue. It'll be dubbed Royal Zenergy. Is there anything specific somebody would like to see? Or changed? Ive been trying to find a better holo background.. but nothing fits as good as the current one to my eyes anyways.
Also i spent a good deal of time last night creating toggles... and they look great on the computer... but i didnt realize the pixel sizes.. which is too small something like 64x64 -_- so they look big here.. but on the phone are small. So i have to redo em
Great work Uber!

Do you guys think 2 bucks is too pricey? I mean i put quite a bit of work into it with all the inversion coding and image work. I felt 2 bucks was good considering ive seen themes as high as 4 almost 5 bucks before.
Okay here are what the fixed toggles will look like .
Toggle preview is up in the hidden screenshots. Gunna do a little more theming before I push the update. Lemme know what you think of the toggles.

I pretty much stay, or atleast always go back to you Uber Jelly theme, so a holo blue theme of Zenergy would probably be my new fav!
the softkeys on this theme are probably the nicest i have seen in a theme. love the two-tone. one thing is maybe a different font on the dialer. it is really hard to read. other than that, this is one of the best ive seen. cant wait to see other colors.

I just got my replacement phone from Sprint and there are some things that are different from the phone that I got at Radio Shack in July. The pictures were taken with my old S2, which is now my mom's so that's why it has a pink care.
First, the colors of the phone are different. The new phone is more of a grayish color. The replacement phone is on the left and the old phone is on the right.

}
Next, the power buttons have different sized icons and again you can see the color difference. New phone on top old one on bottom.
Finally, the home buttons are completely different. The new one is a purplish color and is long and short while the old one is a gray color and is short and tall. The new one is on the left and the old one is on the right.
Also, the buttons are much more clicky and I like that, but they squeak sometimes.
So, which phone do you have?
I got the exact one you got in July. Also got my at launch .I think they changed a few things because the pebble blue was in such demand and they couldn't keep up with production and probably used a third party to help. Which is why some are different .

There was some cosmetics issues that kept appearing in the original pebble(the one you previously had) and Samsung fixed those issues with the next pebble blue(the one you have now).

It must've been pretty shortly after the main production where they switch the color. I bought my phone maybe a month or 2 months after lunch and it too also has more of a gray appearance like the replacement you received. However I'll be getting that phone replaced because it's dead now so make sure to let you know what my replacement looks like.

i took an HD wallpaper of a chrome audi r8 from above and tried to crop as solid of an image possible. other than that, there's no other real way to do it unless someone is really good with photoshop and can recreate a chrome vinyl wallpaper from scratch. good luck.
