I was looking in the apps apk and it looks like there are theme apk for the home launcher but I haven't seen a way to change any themes. Is this possible? I can't seem to upload pics any more but go to system then apps the scroll down you'll see themes apks.

Hey guys. I have been on CM7 for a while now but have never used or even looked at the Theme Engine before. I was hoping that you guys could answer a few basic questions about it:
1. Are these THEMES also launchers as well? Currently I am using CM7 with GoLauncher. If I install a Theme will it replace Go Launcher as the default launcher or will it theme Go Launcher?
2. Is there a massive thread that has a list of all the CM7 Themes? I have only been able to find individual theme threads (MattedBlues, etc.)
3. I like custom icons but I hate when I have apps that aren't supported...they stick out like a sore thumb on the desktop. Is that the issue with the THEME ENGINE themes or do they alter the default icons on their own?
Thanks in advance!
1)the themes dont overwrite your launcher,use what you prefer.
2)I believe there is a thread somewhere with all themes try google,there is also alot of them on the market.
3)some themes do have custom icons,depends on what the theme creator included.
Here's a list of some themes.you want HDPI for the evo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046108

Thanks a lot for your input guys! I tried a few out. The only thing I'm not liking is when there are custom icons. More than likely they don't have customized icons for ALL the apps you want to display on your desktop. Then you either have to have ugly mismatching icons or remove the unsupported icons from your desktop altogether.
Can any of you guys advise on a THEME that themes all your existing icons?

Thank you Fergie....that is the exact idea I was looking for. Do you know if there is a black theme that has a similar effect (making all of your icons have a dark/black tint? I already tried DarkGinger. but it only has customized icons...and not very many of them.
Can somebody direct me on a tutorial on how to create icons and themes for go launcher. Or basically just for theming purposes. Id like to be able to change my drawer icons as well as my homescreen.
I know homescreens are easy but how to I get them to work in a launcher setting?
Top of Themes subforum would be where you should look. Sticky on how to theme.

Anybody have the stock image icons for the Phone, Contacts, and Messaging apps that they can provide? Most themes alter them when theming the apps and the altered icons don't look as good. :/ What I'd like to do is switch them back to stock after the theme themes them to have the apps themed with the original icons. Any help is appreciated.
the screenshot shows which ones I'm looking for circled.
You can rip the icons from the stock rom. do u know how to do basic theming? You can use ninija morph.

To get the icons in the app drawer to change you would have to decompile those apps and throw in the themed app then throw it into a flashabe zip....which is not in my wheel house. I can post some themed app icons that you can apply to the home screens with a custom launcher but I cannot do anything to change icons system wide

If you open the apk with an archive manager, you can drop the icon into the appropriate drawable res folder, without recompiling or resigning, and it will be system wide. However, this will most likely break if the app is updated.

It's very simple actually to change apps and system icons if you are rooted and running custom recovery. That's how all available themes works. Launcher doesn't matter.
Get some theme, take a look at the zip folder/file structure inside and you'll see how easy is to replace any kind of apk resources making your custom icon pack.
Try anycut or bettercut and or desktop visualizer.
