Saw a few people show screenshots of their versions, but here is mine. And I've attached a full-res version just in case anyone wants to try it out.
With Zwart icons
Good idea, we need more wallpapers like this.
Green was a little much, did a few black themed.
Pretty easy to edit, if someone wants a variant of these just give me a sample color for the wallpaper and Android logo.

I've been working on a theme, mainly for myself but I will probably upload it if anyone is interested. My question is how can I change the pull down bar image and background for the notification, I have found that some themes do this, but I have searched everywhere with no explanation of how. I found an image that looks like a pull down bar but its a 9 patch image. (is there any progress on using the 9 patch tool in the SDK to change these?)
PS. The background in the attached shot is not part of theme, I think it will work with any dark background. Also not sure if I am going to bother to change any of the icons at this stage, maybe later on.
Please upload for ADP1.1
yo! the theme colors look cool, but the menu button at the bottom seems not the right fit..maybe its just be..
as for the question you actually asked..i have no idea..i am sorry
At the moment, all I have changed is the status bar background, the App Menu dragbar at the bottom, the google search widget and the clock. I will look into making different version once I have finished it (first version is going to be RC8)
What is it that varies between firmwares that requires different versions? Is it the contents of the Framework-Res.apk and Launcher different for RC8, RC30, ADP1 etc?
Great
looks great
Love the show Lost !!! Cant wait to see how this turns out..
The wallpaper (which I got from an app in the market) wasn't really part of the theme per se, its just the one I am using currently, though I think it looks good. RE: original question I kinda worked it after now, just editing the 9 patch images for the search bar and notification and it worked ok.
where is the notification bar image though?
Wow look nice. Here were did you got that bbc new app. I did a search for it in the android app store and nothing came up.
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.
Hi guys. I recently stumbled upon an awesome Icon set I really like, except for the grey coloring.
I am no graphic artist and I'm terrible with photoshop. Could some one please make the phone, globe and camera shutter icon a much more brighter black/white icon(s)? Below is a sample of how I would like the coloring to be, minus the dock bar of course.
I claim no right to any of these images or icons. If you'd like to help me, the files are attached below. coloring_i_want.jpg gives you an idea of the coloring for the icons I would like.
These awesome icons were done by Ilia Draznin at some url this post will simply not let me link since I am new to the forums *sigh*.
Thanks in advance.
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.

[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.

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
Pressed the thanks button but it won't work
Good work mate

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...

Updated today with a new Mashup... see 1st post
I have been searching the forums for an icon pack that is just plain bright white and compatible with CM9 or AOKP(although I really don't know that compatibility is an issue with icons, maybe someone can correct me there) and am not finding anything.
I'm really not looking for anything too fancy, just basic icons that are a bright white instead of the stock icons, similar to what you see in the Black Infinitum theme menus. I'm not really looking for much, just standard apps (gmail, calendar, messaging, phone, play, contacts, email, camera, maps, navigation, calculator, browser, voice) and maybe a few others of the really popular apps (facebook, dropbox, scorecenter, etc...)
If anyone could point me to icons that would work I would appreciate it, if there are none if a dev could take it on I would also appreciate it very much.
Thanks!
Found these on XDA

and the link below has some, but I can't figure out where to download them from..

That second link is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but same as you I don't find a download link. Thanks for the links nonetheless!

You can buy droidicon on the market for $5. It has a number of icon packs available in a number of colors and styles. It was previously called launcher pro icons and docks and meant for lpp, but you can use them on any launcher that you can change icons on. You will have to edit them yourself though, you can't install them as a theme or pack. You download the icons one by one from a list. I use the white icons on it for aokp with nova launcher, pics for the doc and text for the nav bar, they look really good. I would post screenies but I'm running miui.us atm. Hope I could help tho.
MOD EDITED

I used that for awhile... some of the icons are pretty generic, but the custimazation options are limitless, which more than makes up for it...
I really like that! I am going to give it a shot.
[EDIT] So I installed it and REALLY like these icons. They are pretty run of the mill designwise, but I wasn't looking for anything too off the wall anyway. What a great find, thank you!
