Unfortunately making a light theme is a massive task other wise it would have been done long ago.
The Android OS uses the "dark theme" by default throughout the system unless told otherwise by apps like gmail.
To change this you would need to decompile all appropriate apps and edit the manifest.xml, as well as editing the framework styles.xml.
I've personally looked at the styles.xml and the light theme is no-where near as in depth as the dark theme so extra values would need to be added to make it look more complete.
That's why there are so many black themes around.
So people, now you know what's involved stop whinging "why it's there so many black themes?" Shut up and make your own if your not happy!.
Hopefully this makes sense.

haha that's why I said 3 months dully ok so I was being a bit optimistic...
On a more serious note... what are the implications of changing everything on both themes to be light?
The best way would to be to create your own theme within styles and then edit the manifests to call your theme.
This way you won't have any white text on white background.
I keep meaning to try this but I never have time unfortunately.
Don't forget, it will drain your battery more...

But this is something which i got done for myself and just thought for all the other people who may be looking for what i was then here it is for them to use and hope you enjoy
It looks very nice.
But is the theme with or without the font on screen 4?

you can use just the dialer. i did before? the only time i get force close is after someone rings me but it dont matter cause it happens after the call lol
Using just the dialler on darkys 8.0, looks great but lots of bugs and fc after call as said before. If a dev could fix and incorporate into a rom or working it would be fantastic.

I have an idea for the powers to be here that make themes...
A black theme, with colored icons (like cm7 colorized), transparent apps like fb, gmail as addons. Preloaded with the nokia fontpack (i posted it a while back search down a bit its there), a variation of grays and darkness, transparent pulldown taskbar, a slighly less colorful version of symbian icons (adw has a symbian theme for its launcher).
Basically a hybrid version of an all black/gray theme with some mild colorization such as in the settings menus etc. What about when you select a menu item it flashes like a pulse real quick when selected? For those that like other fonts the theme should not have preset fonts that are not flashable (meaning if its in arial and i flash the nokia font everything should show up in the nokia font and i shouldnt see arial anywhere)
I know im asking a lot, but im thinking community wide here throwing ideas out to the geniuses here that do have the talent to make such a theme, as i am a tard when it comes to cooking this stuff up.
Not to knock the themes that are here because just because i dont like them does not mean they suck. I totally respect the theme makers for their quality of work, but to me the only one i have liked so far is the matted blues one and the cm7 colorized to a degree. I like the black ones but they are too boring and need some life in them. (Again, my opinion not knocking it) and the monotone black/single color i feel the same way as well.
Anyways, if anyone wants to add to my ideas that flow along with it nicely please feel free.

You could prob make this yourself... go to the main android theme threads and look for the ultimate online theme engine.. gives you a great amount of options.. could use to change noticiation bar on top of a theme you use an a base.. then use theme injector to change over other pngs from other themes you like..

i guess i could play huh lol. not too good at it but ill give it a shot.
I know next to nothing about themes, but I am doing my best to make a grey/black theme for personal use by mixing and matching pieces from Erebos (using as base), frost, and Bionix while also mixing in black dialer and phone from Emotionless Beast.
The only thing I am not happy yet is the battery. I would like a grey honeycomb battery with %, or circle battery with % (for regular and charging). This needs to go on a black background. I was able to do a test run using the blue honeycomb battery in Midnight theme, so I am pretty sure I can copy the pngs from one zip to another, so the rest of the framework doesn't matter.
Does anyone know of a battery mod or rom that has this battery that I can use to copy the pngs?

You can just edit all the blue battery icons from honeycomb in photoshop and change them to gray.

Very true. Was just hoping to save the time of editing the ~200 images if somebody knew of a rom or theme that already had the grey circle or honeycomb battery (photo editing is not my strongest suit). Doesn't really matter where it's from, as this is just a personal use theme.
With all the themes out there, I had hoped there would be one with it already made that someone could point me to. Tried searching and came close a few times, but nothing just right.

Hey everyone. I know that you all have way to much on your hands already but I just wanted to throw something out there.
I am looking for a theme that is not very far from stock, actually it would be exactly like stock except instead of green colors everywhere, you would have a different color like blue. I would REALLY love one where the green was changed to purple or a purple/pink color but I would probably be the only one to use it so blue is ok.
Would this be a hard theme to make since not much is changing but the green color? I wish I knew how to do it. I am using the EK02 UnNamed ROM also and there aren't many theme options so maybe this could be one of the firsts.
You can try the ICS theme we have, some people have gotten it to work on UnNamed, some havent.
It's not that it's hard to change it all to pink, it is just very time consuming to change every single piece to pink. It could be something simple like just the battery & network Icons but going all out and changing the overscroll glow, dialer, and the framework etc. is a ton of work. Most of it requires working with .9 files which can't just be edited like a normal .png.
i think a red one would be awesome. blood blood blood.
i can imagine changing everything would be tedious. tracking things down in every menu, etc etc.
requires more patience than i probably have.

I made (edited) a theme chooser theme once for my motorola cliq on cyanogen and it was very time consuming and I had to work with a png9 editor and it did kinda suck...
If I could find a theme out there that was very close to stock....I would have no issues editing the icons myself and then sending it back to the owner for resigning or whatever needed to be done. I just can't find a theme that is close to stock LOL.

You would just download a stock rom and extract the images.
Introduction
Hello everybody! My name is Nitroz. I am a themer for TeamKang, thanks to Roman for letting me in You will be seeing alot more content from me and in the AOKP ROM. Some of you may know me from the Galaxy SII forum (Here), I sort of got my "fame" for porting the Black Android Theme by Pele. The theme got about 60,000 downloads and 100,000 page views and counting! But I decided to move onto an AOSP phone and start creating my own themes since I have gained the experience to do so. So welcome! If you're looking for a Black, Minimalistic theme for your Galaxy Nexus then this is the thread for you.
What is Black Exodus?
Well, when I first got my Galaxy Nexus one thing stood out to me which I didn't like. The color scheme of Ice Cream Sandwich. Its a very dull Blue color which I didn't tend to like for the most part, plus the dialer backgrounds were, in a way, fugly. So I decided to take on the task of making the style as minimalistic as possible with a nice Black & White design instead of Blue. This is what Black Exodus is, a nice, Black & White simplistic color scheme. Maintaining the ICS look, but with a White color instead of Blue.
Why Are You Moving to the Theme Chooser?
As most of you know, the other day via Twitter, Roman and Kejar announced that they have managed to get the theme engine from CM9 working on their ROM's (Gummy and AOKP) I've been working closely with Roman and AdamTheCashew and testing Black Exodus for the theme engine and turns out it works! So no more CWM Flashable ZIPS (Unless you want the inverted apps).
Why Are There No Inverted GApps?
Since I am very new to the CM Theme Engine and had to work it all out for myself, I haven't got round to including the inverted GApps (If its at all possible). I'm more concentrated on theming as many system apps as possible whilst maintaining a small APK size
Installation Instructions
-Download the BlackExodus from the Market links provided
-Depending on which ROM you're using, go to Settings>Themes (This is for CM9)
-Apply Black Exodus (There's no preview yet)
-Hit Apply Anyway
-Reboot for the navbar to theme properly
-You've been Exodus'd!

Do you think you could make a metamorph or zipthemer file to theme the extras that theme engine can't? For example stuff like power menu? Would be amazing to get rid of ALL the blue. Loving your work regardless. Does hurt to ask. Ha. Thanks again!!
You're Kurt Colbeck, right? I hope I'm not wrong. But if you're Kurt, then I'm a great fan of your theming work! I follow your work on Galaxy Nexus evening regularly on Google+, even though I don't have one.. It's great to see your work on the S II forums!
Big fan of yours from black android theme AKA the best theme EVER!
Glad to see your work again (and not on miui,hehe)
Take care & thanks

Power menu is themed if you're on a new CM9 build. Or (I would assume) on an AOKP build based on b36.
