Well i said I was releasing a theme and here you have it...
i must first give props to the theme makers of BUUF and Ghost Black, and my man Stericson... for icons, clocks, and how to's...
I made a clear green clock, with accented numbers in white glow... changed the menu button to a clear green, and added the landscape view as well for the menu button. most of the icons have been changed, I am still making many new adjustments, but I thought it was done enough, thats why its a beta.
** I made the wallpaper with PicSay on the G1.. no lie**
-updates to include-
finish all icons to clear green, change status bar, and any other problems anyone wants me to find or that i feel need to be changed... enjoy
Screenshots are coming, just a G1 taking pics of a G1

Looks great man. Glad to see another theme pushed out. Great job. Hope you continue improving and creating!
Stericson

thanks man, i have the creativity, i just needed some help, which you helped me with, with understandin everything to the point that I could create this...
quick questions... where the hell is that status bar? could i even ask for the name of the icon picture? Im sure its in launcher.apk or framework.apk, but the theme build im builiding off of has some icons cleared or absolutely blank, so idk what would go there to know the size, name, etc...
was thinking of clear black with green icons.... and a very transparent green window shade when u swipe down the status bar....
sorry, know where that is 2?
thanks, ill keep kicking them out
Possible Projects:
Philadelphia Phillies - World Champs theme (hometown, DJ, Drexel)
Fingerprint Theme - where the background is fingerprints and you cant tell when you open the menu tab (its all thumbails, not sure about the concept)
Many other colors coming out, along with my custom PicSay pictures I have like 100 i could mix with themes and all colors... just a long process.. AND NEW CLOCKS

Looks cool. You think you could use the screenshot program to upload real screenshots?

[Theme] Modified Deep Black Theme RC33 (Updated 02-08-2009)

This Theme was made by Octoberriot for RC30 LINK.
I liked it so much, now i ported it to RC33
In this theme, are custom made clock widget, status bar, pull down bar and Fonts.
For now there are no application icons in the theme.
note: if you install this, the fonts are going to be there permanently unless you hard reset, or flash one of JFs updates.
If you dont like the font included, or are going to a new theme, you can Download the default Fonts here:

Update:
I add some app icons and compressed the png´s to save space:

Thank you to Kron2, jdwme, necromancerr, Dave Da illest 1, Geo411m, Octoberriot

ummmm, how is that anything like deep black?

Octoberriot called it like this.
Originally the icons, the down slider and the wallpaper are from deep black.
but because of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480116
and because i have no experience with themes (was my first try) i dont copy the icons to RC33
Maybe someone can finish the Theme ?

I love it! Icons are overrated, and I am more than happy with just he font change. When you start customizing the icons too much I think the rest of your download app icons look way out of place. This theme gives a good balance of stock and customization.

Is there anyway to get a normal font in the browser??

Good Job!
I really like the font, but when I installed it onto my phone I thought it was a bit to overwhelming. It was just to much on your face. Great Job though I must say. You don't have to hard reset though. All you have to do is get the original fonts from a theme and drag into the folder. It will replace the comic sans and then just update your phone!

NVM, i keep refreshed

no lie dude... the PERFECT THEME for me lol
id been looking for a theme that didnt change the notification bar too much, and u just hit the spot bro.. BEAUTIFUL!
THANK YOU

Anyone know if this theme (Modified Deep Black Theme RC33) is compatible with Cyanogen 4.2.15.1?

Dude, this thread was in 2009, RC33 was the platform before cupcake, which was before donut, which is what 4.2.15.1 is based on, with bits of eclair. That said, this theme is incredibly outdated, and quite frankly, don't know how you find it appealing compared to all the ones that are compatible with your ROM.

I wanna just use that font, how do I do that?

[Theme] Peches (RC33 - WIP)

This was my first idea for a theme. Which I'm making, in most part, for my girlfriend who I like to call Peach. The idea came from a signature picture I made years ago for her for a forum and I thought it would be a pleasant surprise to bring it back in the theme. I used that very siggy as the wallpaper and most of the colors picked out using the eye dropper.
This is very much so a work in progress. I'm looking for opinions and feedback. It's my first theme. The wallpaper I will need to change. The siggy was alot smaller than I remembered and I had to stretch it to fit. May recreate it. The clock and the tab at the bottom are not of my own work. They are from the Glossy Minimalism theme. (the theme I currently use.) I used its update.zip when I was figuring out where things were and creating. I do plan to change them both.
Edit: Peches is now ready for download but still incomplete as far as I'm concerned. I cant figure out why I cant get the notification bar (during/after pull down) to change colors. Clock still needs to be changed as well as menu tab. I also have plans to change the notifications, Edge and 3G, Battery and Signal icons. Enjoy and please give me feed back. If you think I should include anything let me know.

good start sir. something i would use. not too sure about font, but still worth using. wish there was an icon pack for apps commonly downloaded like chomp and my backup to match the rest of the stock apps.

I've been meaning to change my font for a while. Thanks for the reminder.

Looks good I like the story behind it.

The left side of the notification bar blinds me. Maybe instead of a white > peach gradient use a lighter peach to a darker peach? I just can't look at the status bars left side. The icons are nice and simple. Don't really have much else to say.
3/5 Average

I'm feeling that theme good job..
when is it available for download?

Availablity?
Its still very much unfinished. So far I've made very few changes and the icons shown are the only ones I've done so far. I should have the rest of the stock app icons done by tonight along with a few other things. I'll make it available by tomorrow at the latest but again, its still unfinished as far as I'm concerened.
Btw, she loves it ^ ^

Dude, the font rawks.

Transparent Dialer

Since I've set all my screens with transparent widgets I wanted to have a transparent dialer/contact list as well.
Here are few shots from my homescreens:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I wanted badly for my dialer to look similar to my home screens and this what I came up with:
So far I was able to make all buttons transparent for in call status of the phone but I cant find where the black background is defined.
Here are screenshots of new phone apk and link is below if someone would like to use it till I make it transparent:
May be someone will enjoy this transparency as well so here are links to modified Contacts.apk and Phone.apk.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6vxah8zagg8avy3 (Phone.apk)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?binzd778jmd1i9g (New Phone.apk)
For those of you who likes ICS theme and would like to have a transparent dialer
And links
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5wrlllwmyz2adsm ICS Contacs.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?shgn7xrr71s7v7j ICS Phone.apk
I'm kinda new to this phone so I didn't make flashable zip because I didn't wanna break anything.
You can adb push this apps to you phone in recovery:
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
or you can copy it to your sd card and move it to /system/app/ using root explorer. If you choose second method you would need to reboot the phone for apps to work.
If any one wanna step in and make a flashable zip that would be nice and I can learn how to by looking into it.

Thanks for posting this up, I'm sure it'll get lots of hits!...do the calling and incoming call screens look transparent as well or have they been left alone? And if its been modified, could you post screenies of those as well? TIA!

Now working to make in call screen and dialer transparent as well.
Did it for my previous phone and hopfully can do it for this one as well.

Very nice, looking forward to additional transparent goodies, pushing now
Btw, is there any way we can pick our own wallpaper or does it already display our homescreen paper?

[REQUEST] JB DeskClock with completely 'dimmed'/removed soft-keys

Hello,
The JB deskclock.apk has three softkeys that turn into dots when you put the desk clock into night mode (It's the soft-key version of dimming hardware keys, I believe).
I'm wondering if there is a way to hack those dots out completely, same as media player apps do - extend the activity over the soft-keys. It would make the desk clock look much nicer, especially since black pixels on amoled are almost seamless with the bezel and would also prevent any potential screen burn in.

}
From user interaction perspective, you could access the soft-keys by tapping the screen and going out of the night mode - where the soft-keys would appear again.
Thanks for any help/work/ideas.
Cheers

In theory, a developer could probably implement something that used a overlay-style sliding softkeys like watching landscape videos in Youtube, where they would disappear after a while.

Exactly

it's actually not part of the DeskClock.apk unfortunately, i think the images you are looking for would be ic_sysbar_lights_out_dot_large.png and/or ic_sysbar_lights_out_dot_small.png... both are in the SystemUI.apk, res/drawable-xhdpi folder. if you replace those with blank png's, you could achieve that effect.
that also means that any other apps that utilize those little gray dots as softkeys would also be blank... no idea what other apps that might be, if any.
if you upload the SystemUI.apk for whatever ROM you are using, i could give it a try to confirm. obviously that wouldn't be a very helpful mod since it would only be for one specific ROM, but i think it's something that could be done with zipthemer (something i am not familiar with) to make it more universal if it's a mod other people are really clamoring for.

I can do a ZipThemer and make the lights out images transparent, but if theme chooser themes have these images in them, it will override the mod. It'll work perfectly on the system theme or any unthemed rom though.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.

Many thanks stympy352, ecs1984 - it worked really nice. But I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for. The end effect is the same, and is great - but I'll loose it when I flash the next AOKP nightly.
I was hoping for a solution more like the one in Youtube player.
But still - the effect is great now - perfect $400 desk clock :
Cheers
PS. FBReader without the dots is nice.
EDIT:
To be honest - I was hoping there's an API or something to control the soft-keys. Something like sofkeys.setVisibility(HIDDEN);
