I will start this topic to put your imagination to another direction - color scheme.
Its really so simple to make another color scheme to cool SlidingPane theme. Just make some colors with photoshop or simple color picker and if you wont some cool wallpaper and thats all.
This is my first color cheme. The wallpaper is based on default scheme, but with hue I make it blue and the all scheme is blue too. I like this blue because is darker - like the blue light on the s620 buttons, and the combination is fine for me
Just extract these two files in \Application Data\Home folder and change the color scheme to "Another blue"
If you make your own theme, please just upload it here, to share with us.
NICE WORK!!
Black
Hi, here's the black scheme taken from last version of Kavana's.
Enjoy.
ratatouille, they need black_LS.gif file from windows dir too to see the wallpaper.
Here it is black theme based on green one:
I only had this file and modified my screen with base hue and I had a tone of black more black than the original scheme, kind of like it. You should try, looks shiny.
Awesome Dude
Littleclown, you are the man, awesome, beautiful dude. I'm using basehue Gold with the blue........!
Another dark scheme, this time with some cool skulls on the wallpaper.
Thanks, you guys are awesome!
A user over on the Vox forums has already done much of the work on this. Check it out at this link:

They work great using the new Kavana 6.1 ROM on my 'Dash.'
Yes this is not a bad idea.
But this schemes uses so simple gradient wallpaper...
If you wont something else - use some free wallpapers, a little tunning with photoshop and emagination... I will try to make some more schemes these days, but everybody can post here schemes.

Doesnt the new rom have a hue color changer installed? or was that the chinese version?
Yes it does. Just doesn't have the shortcut in Start folder. Now my blue matches
I use the black color theme with this as my wallpaper, works out pretty well imo.
edit1: actually it exceeded the forum limit, let me upload it somewhere\

This is where the action is really is. This is the config file that you can modify the homescreen.

Here is a ported theme that was originally done by Manup for Dude's G1 rom.
This is for those with a 32A phone and is the Amon_RA 1.0.1H rom.
I hope i have done it justice porting it. I have added a couple of my own preferences and will be adding more. It is a VERY works in progress.... a very quick port. Statusbar is now black. havent updated other shots.
This is template size so you can easily update it.
Theme includes latest launcher from Cyanogen with 5 home screens and extra apps in drawer.
I have also attached a matching dxtop theme if anyone is interested.
If you like it donate to manup456. He worked hard on this and deserves the full praise for it.
Grab it from here:
manupblack Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip
####things to do:
- add the new modified launcher with customisable apps drawer ++
- black status bar with white writing (white clock not possible at this time)- FIXED
- fix status bar icons to match theme better - FIXED
- ..........
-----other themes to come- Hero, palm pre.....

that's nice but i am talking about Amon_RA's build.
To be absolutely honest with you; I think it looks horrific.
hehe... your opinion... but thanks for that.. i'll be sure to tell Manup you thing its crap.
dont like it, dont use it.
Don't worry, I won't use it. Disliking this theme doesn't mean I dislike everything he did. One should be able to recieve both positive and negative feedback. A solution to make this look more attractive would be disabling jpeg compression in your preview screenshots. Jpeg makes everything look horrible and blurred, especially hard reds, blues and greens. I'd start with enhancing that. Furthermode I'd not downsize the previews because that blurs the whole thing as well.
To state I didn't just suck the feedback out of my thumb:
You can barely read the battery status (looks like he modified the battery I did for my own theme).
The color for the background behind the time doesn't fit the other colors.
On the first screenshot you/he used 4-5 teints of blue... it's overly blue.
yeah i see your point.... didnt even look at the pics myself.... sorry about that... just stuck them straight in from what screenshot app took....
as for the blues- i see what you mean- never really looked at it that closely.....i did do the clock bgd colour though- with the same blue it was too dark to read clock properly and i was unable to edit services.jar to make it any other colour....tbh i think i prefer the different blues....is that an issue having too many blues? I am in medical field, not graphics....
i changed the battery on the black one so i could see it properly....good point.... i must have noticed that too.... or maybe it was coincidence i changed it.....
i prefer hero myself but occasionally i will try this- a bit dark for my likings though.....
thx for the feedback though- when i make one myself from scratch maybe i will get you to look over it- seems you have better eyes than me..... i really dont look that closely at it....
I'm an experienced theme designer I made dozens of Sony Ericsson themes in both THM+sysgfx and Flash Lite 2.1 Check "Photographer" profile at http://www.se-nse.net .
Maybe my critique was a little harsh, sorry about that
Too many teints of the same color can cause disharmony and the black and blue combination isn't the best there is... I mean, there is no variation in this theme. It's all black with a bit of blue...
To get you started: The blue you applied behind the clock is more purple than blue, try changing it to a more contrastive color like an almost white, and definately don't use harsh rectangles in a round shaped UI like Android Instead use rounder shapes, try Photoshop's rounded rectangle tool with a nice r. One of the things I do like about the theme is the "Android" text on drawn down statusbar in the 4st screenshot but it seems not to be entirely centered.
how to install Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip ??
thanks
if you have Amon_RA's new recovery- 1.2.0H then you just stick the zip file on sd card, then go to recovery and select "Apply sdcard:choose zip". Select the one you want and off it goes.
if you don't have it, get it. In the mean time rename to update.zip and install via recovery as per normal rom flash.
Can anyone tell me where to change the menu font color? For example on settings and app settings.
It's a long and convoluted process that would essential force you to create your own theme. Thus, I suggest checking out the theme/app section to see if there's something that better suites your needs
Yeah, there is no built-in option for it.
I already have a theme that I have been putting together but need to know how to change the font color. Should meantion that I am deodexed also.

There is a stickie on top of Themes which explains changing colors. It has to do with changing hex codes.
Do you BONSAI?
I decided to have a bash at simple theming by combining two of my favourite themes; Steel Blue by BMWPokerAce (originally by Team Carbon) & CirclesMod by Hooolm. I was browsing Hooolm's webspace and noticed that he'd updated his green version of CirclesMod for Cognition 1.5 but hadn't updated his thread to reflect this, nor had he had any requests for a blue version.
He's been a little preoccupied with family issues recently (hope all is ok, Hooolm ) and so I didn't want to trouble him by asking for a blue version. So, I made one myself by grabbing all of the blue iconography from the most recent CirclesMod for VillianRom 2.42 and jacking them into the green version of Cognition 1.5. It took a few attempts to get it right and I had to fix a couple of leftover green things (from the switches in the pull-down menu, it seems Cognition has a switch that Villian doesn't have) and voilà, we have a blue CirclesMod for Cognition 1.5 attached below.
Not completely satisfied, I decided to combine the pull-down menu switches from Steel Blue as I preferred them and they go rather well with CirclesMod I think. I also incorporated the blue Android background for this menu too. Everything else is as CirclesMod.
If either original author has any issues with me using their work or iconography, please PM me and I'll remove immediately.
Zip files contained within this thread are CWM flashable. Remember to Nandroid backup first. If you don't know what either of those things are, don't download anything from this thread until you have learned the basics. I am not responsible for damage to your device due to your own ineptitude/inability to read or assimilate information. No requests will be entertained for different ROMs. I'm using Cognition by designgears and as such will only be messing around with themes for this ROM range.
[Update 4/9/11] I've been messing around with the new KLoNe Technologies theme as I'm quite impressed by it even if it doesn't look much like the screenshots in KLoNe1's thread I decided to add a couple of elements from the Steel Blue theme, specifically the pull-down background and the switches too, much like I did with CirclesMod. I'm quite pleased with the result and think that the theme gels well.
Cognition 1.5 themes are also compatible with Cognition 1.51. Click the links above each pic to download or the pics themselves.

but STATUS BAR not DARK black....(not like in screenshot)
What colour is it? Not sure I understand what you are saying

thank you for responding !
the status bar is not dark black (color is: black mix with silver)
But on screenshot is dark black
Yes, on your screenshot it is black also. On my device, it is black/silver gradient. Probably an issue with the screen grabbing software.
Edit: No, I'm wrong. Your screenshot shows it as black and silver but so do mine! Are you looking at the screenshots with an LCD monitor? Try adjusting your viewing angle. On my Sony Vaio, I have to adjust the screen angle to see the gradient properly
Just to let you know Team Carbon made Steel Blue originally, BMWPokerAce ported it.
EDIT: Great work all the same.
Ta. Edited my OP for credits.
Looks good, well done
If your screenshot in the OP is current, you've included the quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png from my green Cognition mod, which is a shame, when I've actually got a blue one
quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png
...is a straight up no nonsense replacement for the one seen in your screenshot.
quickpanel_quick_settings_background.9.png
...is the one you should use if you're editing by actually decompiling SystemUI.apk. That way, scalability and fill info is compiled into SystemUI.apk (in other words, the quickpanel background is scaled properly and the dividers aren't )
Thanks mate. I was keeping it simple just by copying images between zip files rather than decompiling. Now you seem to be back posting again, I'll defer to you for the blue versions of CirclesMod and just concentrate on my hybrid version
in 1st screenshot .. what clock widget are you using because I like it and I want it
Very nice, good addition to the cog rom 1.51

The clock looks like beautiful widgets which is paid for, however fancy widgets does the same job and refresh is more customizable, screen shot and link below.
Mine is showing with widget transparency full...

Hey guys!!
So I need to know some hacks to customize my interface. This is a thread to share our home screen screenshots and screenshots of other customizations too sowe all can learn from each other.
Here's mine at the moment
PS:I'm a big Stephen Curry fan, thus the "30"
You can also share wallpapers on the thread that look cool. I prefer dark wallpapers.
Feel free to post. I'm really active on XDA so I'll look at all your posts and respond to all of them.
If you don't know about it, it's probably worth installing substratum and getting a paid theme to customise your system UI and 3rd party apps. Highly suggest you check it out if you haven't already.
I personally use Pitch Black, this theme has a plethora of options you can choose from to suit your requirements.
But with other themes you can totally make the phone look like it's got a custom skins from an OEM, if that's your kind of thing.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pitchblack.origins.westcrip&hl=en
Substratum doesn't just theme the UI though, fonts, animations, boot animations and sounds are all easy to change so long as you have themes that include them.
