Hey folks!
About on week ago, i was looking make some changes in SGS3 but i didn't see anything interesting. Then i found this thread "Drop UI" and i looks just amazing. The only problems that i saw with it, was the fact that some paid apps are needed to make this work.
Anyway i brought all my those apps and set up my phone, and i must say that it was looking pretty good! So, after that, when i understood when the "Theme" works, i decided to make my own theme, Drop UI is really beautiful but for me it looks a lot like an iPhone.
After took some fonts, look for some images and spend a lot of time in front of Photoshop, i got a theme that i call it "Urban Style". It tried to make it minimalist as possible but i didn't get what i was looking for, instead of it "Urban Style" is a cool theme made just by black-white-grey colours, some "Cities images" and also "Robot" font downloaded just from "Google Design".

All the images was taken from "Flickr" which has "Common Creative Copyright".
The icons are property of "hunterdsg" and it was downloaded from here
If you like it and would like to use, just follow the tutorial from "DropUI" but using the images from my zip file. I'm also thinking about doing my own tutorial and how to change the paid apps for free ones. All comments are welcome.
The main idea of this kind of theming, came from "SilentRazor", so all the credits is for him.

Good one mate. I have succesfully applied your theme with some adjustment of my own. You should post it on mycolorscreen.com and make one with more colourful wallpapers

These are just PSD images, I have yet to figure out how to apply them.

Initial release will be for HTC Magic 32B with either spfrance or cyanogen ROM.
If you could figure out how to get the background white and the text black like you have in that second image, I would really like to know how you did it
Probably a xml in the drawable folder... I have yet to figure that out
Lol yeah that makes 2 of us. It's holding up my next theme
You should name the theme "I Can't Believe it's Not iPhone (Spray)"
i have been waiting on this popup notification design for MONTHS
omg, I want this theme. haha. It looks sooooo nuts!
Fancy sharing your PSD's?
I'm sorry, no. I never share my PSD's... else some can bring out my work under his name and probably a lot earlier than my release
Hey Draxter,
Still working on this theme for the Magic?
Grtz
Themes for dream and sapphire cyanogen 3.6.8 and higher are exchangable afaik.
I have a 32b, and I have been long dreaming of this....waiting for the release
I can't wait to see how this is going to turn out
Love the dialer, this theme is going to be one better ones IMO. The clean look although heavily moded is a great idea. Ill be keeping an eye on this one for sure.

I honestly believe this is one of the greatest fonts ever made.
It's not big and blocky, but small and classy like.

Install it like an APK
Then

Been using this font for a long time, though lately I've been giving SonySketch a shot, which is even more badass imo.
I heart this font major

It's too gaudy for me. Then again, my phones are always minimalistic. To each their own.

Here's a very nice post in the EVO 4G section that has tons of fonts and sample shots. The files are flashable and should work on any Android device.

Love this font
There's a very similar font to this one called Hattori Hanzo.
Ok Im pretty good a flashing roms, good at manuvering through the root of my phone. Ive been messing with probably every rom out for the EVO, but ive yet to figure out how some people make theyre screens look awsome. Im wanting to know if I post a screenshot from a thread on here if someone would walk me throught how to make it look like the supplied pic? Im more than willing to supply my Instant messenger addy Thanks
Theres alot of different ways to customize your homescreen and drawer,theres apps like ADW,Go,launcher pro and themes that are made for your specific rom,hence,my homescreen,courtesy of T-Mobiles theme chooser and Fancy widgets,i also moved a few icons from my drawer to my rosie and added world clock widget.Changed the font with system root tools.

That looks like a GO Launcher theme.Check out go launcher and the themes,you might find what your looking for. Go Launcher EX It has a bunch of themes.
All the information that you need is right on that screen.
And the rom us miui.

Yah, or ADW or LP with a custom DOCK, Desktop Widgets, for the widgets...
I am a Noob, but I found LCD Density on the Market, I run mine at 183 on the EVO with Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS 5. It tweaks your resolution. So no matter what you put on your screen, it makes it sharp.
I think that Google, during the ICS design process, decided to optimise all of their icons to XHDPI devices. With all the HD devices coming out that was the wise thing to do but when these icons were scaled down they ended up looking very blurred - almost too anti-aliased.
I decided to re-create these icons to look sharper (by removing all of the anti-aliasing, you don't need it at such a small size) adding small modifications as I go along such as changing the data indicator fonts from Droid Sans to Roboto.
Please bear in mind that this is still unfinished, I still have a lot of icons to make.
Here is a comparison:

May I add, Roboto looks terrible at small font size.
I'll get around to making an update.zip soon, but meanwhile here is a zip file containing all of the images. If you want any other icons made, just post it's name as a reply.
Dos anybody know how to make a one-size-fits-all update.zip (like Vertumus' universal themes)? It will be a bit tedious to change icons in each and every CM9 nightly, plus bezke's AOKP and Codename Android ports!
I would like to see the compqrison but is the pic deleted???

"universal" themes are done using VillainTheme (commonly called VRTheme):

#Warning: You shouldn't need warnings by now - but I'm not liable if someone actually finds a way to screw up their device with a bootAnimation

Yup,can confirm black screen.
You should learn how to resize pictures with out completely screwing up the aspect ratio on them. Every one of those images is horizontally deformed.
"I'm sure I'll edit and such" reads OP

It's kew. Honestly, I shared that I was making one on plus, and after 100+ pluses and a ton of comments, I wanted to produce a working version for everyone and "perfect" in time.

Nice concept
