[HELP] ICS-style gradient background in Gingerbread? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"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?

However, you have to decompile a few apks to port it to oxygen based roms

Todo:
change more icons
custom clock
change the music/search widget colors
P.S. i will upload the theme when i feel like its something people might actually want to use
saved for space
Way too gray for me, I like more colors
themes like this look nice but: 1. they don't keep their look consistent throughout the system (not all will be b&w for example), and 2. even if it did, a monotone theme wastes the g1's beautiful screen.
thanks for your replys, i personally dont keep my screen with those icons because like you said it is way to gray, i just wanted to have a picture with some of the icons.

Question. What rom/task bar is this?

I always seen screen shots that have THIS task bar at the top there. What rom/task bar is that?
I'm wondering if its a specific rom for a certain phone or a bar that can be put on any phone. It's very clear, easy to see etc.

It could be a port, I might be wrong though but it might be another phone completely. I've never seen any Evo Rom with that notification bar.

It's the stock Android status bar pre-Gingerbread (Froyo, Eclair, Donut, etc.). The CM6 final (Froyo) ROM is the best ROM for that (but it wouldn't be too tough to replace the assets on any ROM).
I believe that is the default stock from google android taskbar on 2.2 and below
im unsure what rom would have that though
Edit: lol too slow...

[Q] HTC Analog (Non-Flip) Clocks Available On AOSP ROMS?

Hello everyone. I usually don't start random unneeded threads, if I've started any at all, but I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something.
Now when you see this title, you may think "Oh my God. Not ANOTHER request for a Sense clock " That would be true, but it's NOT the flip clock I am after: It's the Analog Clocks that are embedded in Sense
I understand some applications from Sense will not work unless it is on a Sense ROM. I was just wondering, if at all possible, if there was a way to extract the clocks from a system file? Possibly install as apks?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Note: I have looked on the market, but could not come up with anything that I really liked. When I get a chance, I will upload a screenshot or 2 to let you know what I am looking for.
Something along the lines of this.

Just figured I'd share........

What's up guys. I've gotten enough PM's after posting some of my screenies that I think some of you might benefit from a cpl of cool apps I've been messing with.
The first one is called TextIcon CreaterIconPack. It's pretty self explanatory. You can change any icon on your screen to any word u like. It's very customizable too.
The second is Super Status Bar. I've only used this with MIUI so I'm not sure it'll work on any of the AOSP/AOKP ROMS we have. This app is also very customizable. U can change the color of your status bar.... position your clock to right, center, or left and there are a few themes out there also.
Finally a wallpaper app called Wallbase. It's what I use to find the nice ladies. Set the app to sketchy and hit the popular setting and there ya go.

I'm sure a lot of u already know about these apps but maybe there are a few of u who don't so like I said, just figured I'd share.
Later peeps.
Super Status Bar working on stock rom and ics base too... thanks

[REQUEST] Fullscreen Notification Drawer Like in PA ROM?

Hello I'm running cm10.2 on my NN7, I dont fancy PA ROM all that much, but what I do LOVE is that when you switch to Phone UI, you get the fullscreen Notification Bar like a Nexus 4,instead of one on the right for settings and one on the left for notifications, I'd love to see if anyone can port that into a zip file
Thanks in advance!
This is what we have:

I think it requires a dpi change of which I think is only possible in PA at the moment, at least that I know of. It's a very good rom, so I'd try it out and set your dpi to your preference.
