There are many ways to change your design as you wish. Try this editor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixapplications.themeeditor. You can change fonts, icons, wallpaper, lock screen, everything.
Or, if it is too complicated for you, find set themes, there are plenty around, from google play to xda and other emui forums.

Unfortunately that app didn't work. Like at all. Have only 3 icons out of what seems to be many customization options.

It works, I used it many times (over 100) on different Huaweis and on Mate x as well. As long as you're on the EMUI launcher, you can download any icon pack, use it as it is or select icons as you wish. Or even download (or create) custom icons and upload (integrate) them from the gallery. See attached picture.

I just tried it and I get this...
That's because you actually have stock themes under Huawei/themes. Inspect your folders. If you have themes in root too, the chances are that editor looks for files there. Copy .htw to any folder named themes and you are good. And don't forget: at the end of the process you'll be asked where to put the new .hwt.

Sorry I don't understand what to do, there wasn't any help file either in the app.
Am I supposed to change the folder or point to a certain folder? Attached is my Huawei folder. Cheers

I went ahead and rooted my phone pretty much for the purpose of custom theming and graphics. This is what I've got so far:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfKPXbrtr4E
Now, what I need to wrap this up is some nice, red icons, but, I haven't been able to find ICONS anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated, and if it matters, I'm running the rooted version of the latest OTA (1.47.65.1.1 or whatever).
Have you checked the theme forum? I am sure there are some in those packages.
Yep, I did, and I didn't see any that were red in the themes posted, and, it seems liek no one just posts icon sets in there.
what kind of icons? for the battery and menu stuff?
What about this?

Hey thank you for the deviantart link. Now, I've already found icons I'd liek to use and have saved them, but can someone point me in the right direction on learning how to apply these to my phone?
I think you will have to explore /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
not positive though, but worth a look

7. The app is added to the desktop.
I had that in a chat log.....
or you can go the hard way and edit .apk's, and push them to your phone.
Use gimp or irfanview or whatever photoediting software to resize them for your phone... 72x72 is what they are.
Wow man, thanks a ton. I'm actually about to get started on this now.
And jsut a quick question... the icon packs... I just move them to my sd card right?

ok no problem.
just put all your icons in a folder on your sd card and its pretty simple.
good luck... let me know if you need some more help.
Remember alot of the icons you download are larger than 72x72... you need to resize them!
There are icon packs on the market but they are crappy! Google, DeviantArt... you'll find what you need.
Actually no man, it's turning out GREAT so far. Your instructions were simple and dead-on perfect.
Here's a screeny. Thanks so much guys!
looks good! Good job!
thanks a lot man. I really appreciate your help.
I'm a complete noob to all of this, and within a day you guys have gotten me pretty competent on these things.

quick question..
how were you able to change the sprint name on your lockscreen and notification?? that looks slick!
oh and awesome setup!
I think one method is through the CDMA workshop. There are a few tutorials on it (in dev section I think?)
But he may know an easier way
Hey he's right. I used the cdma workshop tool... sorry for the late response but I work days and am actually posting this from my evo.
Also, the trick works on both the slider and the header even though its just listed for the slider

Hello everyone. It seems that I can't see any other thread with this topic in my searches so I'm starting a new one.
FlipFonts are built-in to our Samsung Galaxy S's and they're quite nice. What are your thoughts on them, and do you have a favourite one?
My favourites are Dave Gibbons and Soho Gothic. I wish there were free fonts, or better yet, a way to use OpenType/TrueType fonts.
UPDATE /// Create Your Own Flipfonts!

I present you with two threads. The first is my How-To thread with everything you need to start making FlipFonts. First time will probably take you about 20 minutes, After you get use to the steps you can make one in 5 minutes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
The next thread is the Vibrants Master List of user created FlipFonts. All that I ask is that you post your flipfonts in this thread so that they are all located in one location. We have been trying to keep the fonts in the first few posts with links that allow for download in the XDA tapatalk app.

agree, i've been pondering about that as well, there should be a way to convert/import regular TrueType fonts into our phones
I've seen other fonts being and installed by users, but am I right in thinking that you need your phone rooted to be able to use them properly?

the official route is to buy them from Market then
Settings => Display => Font Style
I do like the Helvetica Nueue and Frutiger but none of the flipfonts I've tried seem to include a bold weighting (important for me when seeing what email is unread, also the time in status panel should be bold etc).
Droid Sans (the default) is pretty cool though anyway.

It's a pity no one's figured out how to package them in an apk for installation by non-root users. All good stuff though.
My favorites are Helvetica Neue and Soho Gotic (my #1 favorite), though some applications look a bit ugly when using other fonts than Droid Sans.

Are you guys serious... I created a method for making your own FlipFonts and posted it in every Galaxy S variant forum on XDA, Im a Vibrant user. Hell my howto was even posted on AdroidSpin last week.

Dude, I'd give you 3 stars and a pint of your favourite drink for sharing this with us.
--- EDIT ---
Already created my first FlipFont! I'll be posting it in that thread. Off to create screenshots now. It didn't come out as good as I wanted, it looks a bit too small, but hey.
No problems... I'm glad so many people have found the how to useful.
If you want to check your font size before making the apk double click on any of the capital letter glyphs after you do the paste special. This will open up the edit window for that glyph. You should see the original guides for android fonts listed there. Use the cap height and other to see if the new characters are too small or too big.

Wondering too.I created some flipfonts.now where to post?maybe I'm allowed to share them here again.

Thanks for the tutorial.
Soon, i'm converting the fonts on my PC to my SGS!
☰ Meta Widget ☰ Create widgets from any website ☰ SCROLLABLE NEWS IMAGES ANYTHING ☰
META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store

Im not sure what you mean, do you mean how it looks etc, if so then a decompiler, baksmali etc would help, plenty of tutorials for that, if you mean by a specific location other than where you live its simply a case of settings and adding the citys you want to show and turn off auto location, id like to see more weather clock mods on here, the samsungs accuweather was modded to death but i dont see anything on here, things like some 25%, 50%, 100% transparent mods would be a nice start and also the size of it, the flip clock is my favourite but it takes up soo much space on the screen
I hope you manage to find what youre looking for, if you do create any modded versions give me a shout, id love to test them.
