Hello All!
From the excellent feedback I received from Black Exodus I've decided to take on another theme project. But I sort of need your help. So, its a simple question, what color do you like to see in a theme? For example the status bar, clock, & overall UI. Black Exodus got more viewers than I anticipated. It seems something minimalistic is in the cards for my next theme, but what color?
You decide!
A poll has been setup with the basic colors. If you have a complex color that isn't in the Poll list. Put it in the comments.
Cheers,
-N
Would really like a variation of Black Exodus where instead of white on black, you use ics blue on black.

Not actually a bad idea Some Blue elements work good with Black Exodus.
I'd vote for Black Exodus IF it had less transparent menus. Really nice theme, but menus sometimes are very hard to read.
A second option would be dark blue, it should look really good on SAMOLED screens
ICS dark theme all over (mms, contacts, email, calendar...) the inconsistencies of ICS is the only critic point for me.

trying my hand at a tribal theme. What do you think? Notifiers on email, missed calls, sms etc. are shown by the blue border you see around the phone icon.
looks nice, but i would prefer black background and white tribals
but hey: you are the artist
Looking nice buddy, will keep up with this one on the website

Once it gets done I will invert the colors and make a black one. real life got me swamped but I will get there soon. thanks for the feedback
Looks real nice Mallman, love the icons!
I have been looking since weeks..but seems like there is no theme with COMPLETE BLACK THEME with all backgrounds also black and only WHITE TEXT. Something like darkedge theme but for SENSE ROMS..any theme maker could do that or is it really hard to do? If someone could,please contact me and good donation will follow. Thanks.
Hi there devs
so i have a simple request (i think) i would like a white theme that is just like stock ICS... so leave all the blue, and such, just turn the black into white (with the exception of the nav bar and status bar) everything else, either white or a light grey (kinda like MIUI is but except having the orange have the stock ICS blue, i would go to MIUI but 1. i hate orange, and 2, i have market place issues with MIUI)
i really hope someone can take on this project and do this for me... i knwo alot of other users might like the same thing...
thanks in advance, and of course donations will be given for the hard work
Like this?
If so you can download that from Nitroz, HERE
No... I don't want the blue accent changed to white. I want all the current black backgrounds white/light grey. Etc. You go into settings the whole background is black. I want white/light grey.
And I want the icons to stay ics stock. Not to change.
Get what I mean?

Doesn't exactly meet your criteria but this is the closest to white you're gonna get: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20805-th...-formerly-known-as-un-blacked-out-by-bgill55/
Also, this Sense 4 theme (which I use and love) is going to be released in white (apparently) so check it out and stick about for more updates if interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548618
and ya i saw that ghost one... dont like that at all... like i said above, looking for the exact same thing as AOSP black but for someone to turn the menu backgrounds (eg settings) into white...
ya i am using the sense theme now. i like it, but wanting to try the white one... but i dont like the green of it... hence why i would like what i mentioned above made... i'm sure there are plenty out there looking for AOSP white holo...
I second this. Black is nice, but its nice to have a white based theme. Not completely white. Just white menus, and stock ICS apps that look right with white and respective font color to meet the white.
exactly! so like the contact app is right now.... when you open it it was a white/light grey... i want that everywhere like in the setting... that background in the setting screen, call log, dial pad, etc etc etc but leaving the blue ICS signal meter , etc, etc as it is
I want a white theme too
I want white on my nav bar around the buttons.

read my posts.
No one wants to take this on? I got $20 for the dev that does.

That challenge would be incredibly difficult. I think BGill's theme is the closest you're going to get from a guy who started Android theming.
that makes me sad and im sure alot of others... do you got a link to that theme you are refering to?...

Its the one someone posted on the first page, its a RootzWiki link. I don't have it to hand at the minute, sorry.
Been playing with Jelly Bean for a couple of days now, and can't help feel that it's almost got a split personality when it comes to the graphics..
Some of the Android menus are the ICS style black and neon blue, but there are more and more screens creeping in with the new Google style white / grey look
Do you think Android's going to move more to having a consistent white / grey look as it gets developed? Or are we going to be left with mixed system themes for a while?

They introduced the new Intent Action launcher (the white one, 1st screen) to avoid the data tapping Apple's patent. However I like the Holo Light theme, I think that Google is playing with Light and Dark theme not to bore the users.

Holo Light and Holo Dark both follow Android Design Guidelines.
The Nexus 7 uses an IPS screen, which does whites well but blacks can look not as good as on AMOLED screens.
That may be another reason for more white. Im not a fan but I see the need for comprimise. I wish we could toggle the theme between light ahd dark Holo in Google apps, though.
I'm also no fan of the mixed themes. I really always think how cheap it looks when it switches colors. I think the system should have a switch for either everything black or everything white. I'm missing the feeling that I'm on a professional system when it comes to software ui.
On the other hand it totally sucks that even bigger developers like tapatalk for example just don't follow these rules... So many NEW apps just look ugly... Hope this will change sooner or later...

Messaging and contacts had the same white theme in ICS, so this style isn't new to JB. It is kind of a design clash, but not one I find very annoying as they do work together.

You're right about the messaging app. This works for me too. But the contacts has the blue bar at top and overall blue lines which makes it look totally different....

Your right some kind of theme selection would be nice. I'm guessing they went from more black to more white because their launch device went from a amoled screen to an lcd. A bummer for battery life on the Gnex. The good news is cm and aokp should have the theme manager integrated at some point.

But it sure would be nice of google to give us more choice on the front end, a dark, light and maybe blue and red toggle theme switch would be so freaking awesome and make the "unique" apple homescreens just look even more ridiculous.
butter and jelly please...

Maybe so, but it still looks inconsistent.
I would've thought it would make more sense for all system screens to be one theme or the other rather than mixing them.
Surely it wouldn't be too hard to program it so the user could select a dark or light theme then have it applied across the whole system?

Maybe it would be more uniform, but not much flavor. I agree, I do like holo dark, and sometimes wish it could be applied system wide (which is why I install themes and inverted gapps) but I think this way it gives developers more options as to how to design their apps, because some might like it lighter or darker.

I like the mix of colours :thumbup:

Microsoft accomplished it. The interface looks so nice only thing I hate about it is too much text... Everything is text. Mostly no icons. Kind of boring. But let's not talk about win phone 7...

I hate ICS blue so I like this new white/gray theme.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
White/Gray/Black > ICS Blue.
I feel like the contrast goes well with the display.
Hi,
I am hoping that some super nice talented individual may be able to make a holo white version of the blue ICS dialer icon that I can use. I have tried searching around but haven't found anything that looks half decent. Please and thank you!
