Many of you may have probably played or seen the tower defense game (cannot find it now sigh - wonder if it has been pulled from the market)... anyway, a tower defense game had awesome neon edges and menus. Also, Glow Hockey is a good example. A light green or blue neon for the dialer number edges and what not (I think) would look sweet and could be incorporated throughout.
I've began to learn from dreamsforgotten's tutorial on theming and I'm getting somewhere, but I'm slow-learning Gimp and it's going to take me forever.
Maybe dreams or jstine or another talented themer would like to tackle this...

I would but right now I am working on a dark red theme with maybe red flames in certain spots in the rom. Could happen when we start to see EB13 roms have a standard OPS, we can spend more time just making themes and not worry which rom they will work on.. If that doesn't happen then I will only build themes for roms based on ACS releases.
Ok the dark red theme is done

I like those colors but that's not the game. Ill look again. The cross in my sig is along the lines of what I'm hoping for. I need to start fooling around with gimp again myself.

Take one of my themes and use Gimp under filters is an option for drop shadows. Set the color you want, then non resize, x= 0 & y=0 with radius to anywhere's from 5 to 15 depending on the size of the image and how much of an edge you have in the image. If the image is edge to edge then hit copy, clear, paste, layer, resize the layer to 5 pixels less and then use the drop shadow. That's how you can get the theme you are looking for. You may use any or all of my images in your theme, all I ask for is some credit if you release the theme to the wild. I'm alway willing to help with questions.

Was it "Retro Defense"?

No the game is no longer in the market don't know why... seems like it started with an x...
Sweet mystery, look forward to seeing that.
Jstine671, thanks for that quick tutorial. I'm going to check that out when I get off work.

I did a theme that has a neon blue feel to it if you want to look at it. It's still in it's early stages, but maybe worth a look.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021013
Ok jstine way would work for neon, but there is a easy way of doing this neon affect in Gimp you are looking for. You will need to download a up to date script-fu pack for Gimp. After you install this you will notice on your top tool bar a script-fu option tab right next to your filters option. You merely take an existing image or let's say button png. Make it completely black and then in your toolbox where it lists your layers right click on the layer and choose alpha selection, then go up to your script-fu tab and select glow selection. This will make a ring around any image that is alpha selected. You can choose your color, border thicknes and glow radius to give your neon effect. It is really quick and easy to do after you do it once, so easy that you could knock out an entire theme out relatively quick. Hope this helps you with your gimping!

I read the forum rules and online gambling isn't mentioned. Any good guesses on when we will be getting 4.0? I am betting $5.00 on 3/30/12.
I'll take the end of February for $0.00... They have to add all the unneeded bloatware.
Way too optimistic dates above me ^
Id say about a month after the sgs3 is released

Okay, then you just throw on the Trebuchet launcher from CM9, or even the vanilla ICS launcher, and your problems are solved.
Dang, you wouldn't even have to have Root for that. Just like when I bought this phone: Touchwiz 4.0 didn't even make it out of the Best Buy parking lot before I had ADWEX running. (and Touchwiz 4 actually had a slim chance of survival, because it's the best version they've made so far, to be sure.....)
However, ADW won out merely because of the sheer speed factor.
(And yes, I know that Touchwiz is still there, lurking underneath, but it's really almost transparent compared to HTC's Sense or Motorola's Blur thing....)

EDIT: Oh, yeah, the pool for "official" release: February 21st.
I think you should make the launcher look more in favor of the new flavor. The people app is royally renovated and I am looking the look. Any idea if you can make the theme of the whole phone look like that?
1. Making the status bar transparent
2. Vertical scrolling of the apps menu. Scroll horizontally to go to widgets menu.
3. Changing the whole background to white (pearl white) with black roboto font, or at least an option to do so.
4.to make apps on the dock bar run continuously so that there a no lag when trying to open them.(everyone I try to open the people app, it takes sometime to load and it's irritating)
5 instead of grey background on every pop up menu, a blue white themed menu options would be great. I am new to xda, so if this is in a wrong forum, please feel free to post the same in the right forum.
I greatly appreciate the work your are doing. Good luck!

Official ICS? I'm guessing April or May probably.
Unofficial? January is looking pretty likely so far.

that's more like it! 6-9 months for me as well. gentleman's bet of course though.
My request was not exactly a theme. the status bar becoming transparent can be viewed as hiding the status bar. scrolling options is definitely launcher. and keeping the dock icons in homescreen running use definitely launcher again. and yeah dude you missed something. And as long as you don't do anything productive there's no need to lol. And this is me being polite.

just looking for some siiick wallpapers for this phone? also what launchers have you guys found to have the best ones? i have zeam, t.w, go, and was using adw go but couldnt really figure out how to use it.. :/
My favorite wallpapers are definitely the ones in the Galaxy Pack from Maxelus.net. It's not very expensive and it has 7 customizable wallpapers, or you can get the free galaxies from Maxelus. Those being Ice Galaxy, Inferno Galaxy, Shadow Galaxy, and Vortex Galaxy.
I still haven't been able to find a favorite launcher but I do like SPB Shell 3D. Unfortunately it costs like $15 but you can find it somewhere.
thanks homie!
the zedge app in the market has tons of wallpapers and ringtones and notification sounds

I suggest launcher pro, and get your wallpapers off Google.com or Zedge
Btw you can get the pro key form like 4shared or applanet

I have found the best way is you just search google. Go to google images. Pick the exact resolution for your wallpaper. It is 980x800 for the Home Screen and 480x800 for the lockscreen. And just search for whatever you want. Chances are you will find it. And it will be free.
I am 99% sure on the sizes but if someone could confirm that for me it would be great.
They got removed in the last update. I ran addons detector and it didn't show up under the push notification section.
