Download themes from the market. Its the same as cm7 only the theme chooser is in the settings instead of apps.

There are already a number of total Sense UI ports, if you want the whole shebang.
If you're already running CM6.1 (as your thread title suggests), then you can manually set a black status bar in the CyanogenMod Settings (just go to the normal phone settings menu and it's in there). You can adjust the color to pretty much anything you want - I did some experimenting with CM6 on my Nexus One trying to match the status bar to various backgrounds - it's do-able, but you have to tinker with a bunch of different settings, applying the same hex color code to each one. Kind of a hassle.
CM6.1 also lets you import an XML file to change the colors, which you could build on your computer and then apply. Might be easier.
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.
Is it possible to change the dark (almost black) backgrounds on menus that CM7 has to be light (almost white) of the Sense ROMS? For example in a Sense ROM if I click on the menu button while at the home screen, the icons have a white background. In CM7 it is a black background, and I would like a white background.
Is this something the UOT Kitchen can do?
thanks.

This is a feature of Android 2.3+ for AMOLED devices. The fewer pixels that are "lit up" on an AMOLED device, the less power it consumes.
If you want the OLD white background menus, you should use an Android 2.2 or lower system image, or have some fun haxing the ROM.

Why not try a theme? I assume you're running a CM ROM. The theme in my signature (JAMT white gradient) has the white menu you're referring to... here's the direct link to the free version: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cgas.jamtwg.free&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5jZ2FzLmphbXR3Zy5mcmVlIl0. But the paid version also themes the dialer white.
Thanks, will try it. I didn't really know how to change it, so I asked.

Hi there devs
so i have a simple request (i think) i would like a white theme that is just like stock ICS... so leave all the blue, and such, just turn the black into white (with the exception of the nav bar and status bar) everything else, either white or a light grey (kinda like MIUI is but except having the orange have the stock ICS blue, i would go to MIUI but 1. i hate orange, and 2, i have market place issues with MIUI)
i really hope someone can take on this project and do this for me... i knwo alot of other users might like the same thing...
thanks in advance, and of course donations will be given for the hard work
Like this?
If so you can download that from Nitroz, HERE
No... I don't want the blue accent changed to white. I want all the current black backgrounds white/light grey. Etc. You go into settings the whole background is black. I want white/light grey.
And I want the icons to stay ics stock. Not to change.
Get what I mean?

Doesn't exactly meet your criteria but this is the closest to white you're gonna get: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20805-th...-formerly-known-as-un-blacked-out-by-bgill55/
Also, this Sense 4 theme (which I use and love) is going to be released in white (apparently) so check it out and stick about for more updates if interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548618
and ya i saw that ghost one... dont like that at all... like i said above, looking for the exact same thing as AOSP black but for someone to turn the menu backgrounds (eg settings) into white...
ya i am using the sense theme now. i like it, but wanting to try the white one... but i dont like the green of it... hence why i would like what i mentioned above made... i'm sure there are plenty out there looking for AOSP white holo...
I second this. Black is nice, but its nice to have a white based theme. Not completely white. Just white menus, and stock ICS apps that look right with white and respective font color to meet the white.
exactly! so like the contact app is right now.... when you open it it was a white/light grey... i want that everywhere like in the setting... that background in the setting screen, call log, dial pad, etc etc etc but leaving the blue ICS signal meter , etc, etc as it is
I want a white theme too
I want white on my nav bar around the buttons.

That challenge would be incredibly difficult. I think BGill's theme is the closest you're going to get from a guy who started Android theming.
that makes me sad and im sure alot of others... do you got a link to that theme you are refering to?...

Its the one someone posted on the first page, its a RootzWiki link. I don't have it to hand at the minute, sorry.
Been playing with Jelly Bean for a couple of days now, and can't help feel that it's almost got a split personality when it comes to the graphics..
Some of the Android menus are the ICS style black and neon blue, but there are more and more screens creeping in with the new Google style white / grey look
Do you think Android's going to move more to having a consistent white / grey look as it gets developed? Or are we going to be left with mixed system themes for a while?

They introduced the new Intent Action launcher (the white one, 1st screen) to avoid the data tapping Apple's patent. However I like the Holo Light theme, I think that Google is playing with Light and Dark theme not to bore the users.

Holo Light and Holo Dark both follow Android Design Guidelines.
The Nexus 7 uses an IPS screen, which does whites well but blacks can look not as good as on AMOLED screens.
That may be another reason for more white. Im not a fan but I see the need for comprimise. I wish we could toggle the theme between light ahd dark Holo in Google apps, though.
I'm also no fan of the mixed themes. I really always think how cheap it looks when it switches colors. I think the system should have a switch for either everything black or everything white. I'm missing the feeling that I'm on a professional system when it comes to software ui.
On the other hand it totally sucks that even bigger developers like tapatalk for example just don't follow these rules... So many NEW apps just look ugly... Hope this will change sooner or later...

Messaging and contacts had the same white theme in ICS, so this style isn't new to JB. It is kind of a design clash, but not one I find very annoying as they do work together.

You're right about the messaging app. This works for me too. But the contacts has the blue bar at top and overall blue lines which makes it look totally different....

Your right some kind of theme selection would be nice. I'm guessing they went from more black to more white because their launch device went from a amoled screen to an lcd. A bummer for battery life on the Gnex. The good news is cm and aokp should have the theme manager integrated at some point.

But it sure would be nice of google to give us more choice on the front end, a dark, light and maybe blue and red toggle theme switch would be so freaking awesome and make the "unique" apple homescreens just look even more ridiculous.

Maybe so, but it still looks inconsistent.
I would've thought it would make more sense for all system screens to be one theme or the other rather than mixing them.
Surely it wouldn't be too hard to program it so the user could select a dark or light theme then have it applied across the whole system?

Maybe it would be more uniform, but not much flavor. I agree, I do like holo dark, and sometimes wish it could be applied system wide (which is why I install themes and inverted gapps) but I think this way it gives developers more options as to how to design their apps, because some might like it lighter or darker.

I like the mix of colours :thumbup:

Microsoft accomplished it. The interface looks so nice only thing I hate about it is too much text... Everything is text. Mostly no icons. Kind of boring. But let's not talk about win phone 7...

White/Gray/Black > ICS Blue.
I feel like the contrast goes well with the display.
