Coming off of Gingerbread, I was surprised to see the native ICS email and calendar apps (and all Gapps for that matter) had the eye-wrenching light-greyish color without any option to use a darker theme.
After some research, I found this post over at rootz that contains modified universal ICS Gapps with inverted colors.
Also, have you noticed some lingering Gingerbread colors in ICS? Most specifically, the color of the android on the USB connection screen or the color of selected text? I find the green to be ugly and very un-ICSish. Here is the solution.
True Blue ICS works perfect on our DINC2 to streamline the ICS theme globally across the phone.
All you have to do is flash the .zips in recovery and voilà, inverted goodness!

Hi i wantet to present you my theme.
I realised it on the base of Eladios theme, that gave me the permission to use it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1509658
Thanks Eladios. I made some personalisations, and so it can be considered a new Theme, as he is working on his own version for the AOKP roms.
All the themes i found for this roms were missing some icons, especialy the Rom.manager settings icon for the AOKP, the Paranoid manager icon in settings. On AOKP roms in the rom manager were missing the icons (all remained white!) And many don't change the status bar notificasions for gmail, tapatalk and others.
Ma theme changes all this, i made changes even in the mms, phone, contacts, and others.
Some icons are self made, others are from other themes.
So it's time for some screenshots:

I made some versions, as i published this theme on other sites, and there was some requests from this users.
This are the download links:
Version 1.7 http://www.mediafire.com/?aa5q01x3o17i3id
Version 1.9 http://www.mediafire.com/?dilj22yt2dtj71d
Hope you like my works. I would like to become your improvements comments, but even just if you like it or not, would be appreciated.
I am working on it to make it an apk, to make it compatible with cyanogenmod9 theme chooser, work is on progress.

Hello! I'm here with a simple question, and I'm hoping there's a simple answer.
In Android 2.3, the default background for system menus and such is plain black. From Android 4.0 on, this background changed to this greyshade gradient.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think the gradient-style background, as shown on the right, is a lot better looking. So my question is, how can I implement this background into my Gingerbread ROM? I know it must be possible, since AChep has done a CM7 theme that uses this background style. Sadly, that theme is for LDPI/MDPI devices only, so I can't use it - but at least it's proof that what I want can be done.
So, how would I go about implementing this gradient background into the ROM I'm currently running? The list dividers as well, while we're at it.
Thanks in advance!
PS: Currently running MildWild-V 4.3, which is an ICS-themed, Oxygen-based AOSP ROM.
Bump. Anyone?

Here is an hdpi equivalent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329375
However, you have to decompile a few apks to port it to oxygen based roms
FOR UPDATES CHECK THE THREAD IN ANDROID GENERAL HERE
These keyboards install as regular apps, not system.
They are themed only in XHDPI at the moment!

Any chance you could make a completely inverted version? Maybe invert blackout to be white with black text? Thanks in advance!

Gingerbread keyboard skinned for ICS
This is for both Sense and Non Sense ROM's
This is the amazing OSAP gingerbread keyboard. The one with the amazing predictive text slider bar. I have themed it and got rid of the gingerbread orange and changed it to be blue for ICS/JB and thought it looks well!
I have always used this keyboard on nearly every rom I have used. I have set it up to install into the data/app directory so it can be easily uninstalled. Simply install the keyboard and then go to keyboard in settings and enable!
This will work on any rom and phone. So far I have used it on sense and OSAP ROM's on both the Sensation and the HOX+

Try it out and let me know what you think! Should work on any sense and OSAP rom for both international and AT&T phones.

If anybody has the trace version of this keyboard, could they upload it and I will theme it as well?
