Heres a little something I whipped up quickly as I'm learning how to theme through Metamorph. Basically this morph will turn your standard battery icon into a block style car battery one, and give you a new low battery message image.
As this is my very first attempt at any sort of theming, BE SURE TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP. I dont want to screw up your phone, and cant be held responsible for any damage done. If you apply this, you take a risk that it could break things.
That being said I have this running currently on CM 6 with a Nexus with no issues. Let me know how it goes for you guys.
*These versions meant for white/light colored notification bars*

Here are the "terminal-less" versions, same basic thing, just no nubs on top and larger.

is there anyway that this can be made in blue? That would be really sick!

you talking like a cyan type blue or regular? Let me know and i'll have it up tomorrow.
Really nice looking, great concept!
But, i think it woould look cooler if you kept the square idea, but didnt make it a battery (no prongs). That would be awesome

I'm looking for the Dock Icons in this picture, I had them on CM6 but now I can't find them anywhere....been searching forever!

Thanks guys

No clue where they are at, but with text icons I usually make them myself if I can't find them. If you have photoshop, just play with some fonts until you find one you like, find the proper size for an icon (think its 72 x 72 pixels), save them as png's and put them on your memory card. Makes for some awesome icons. Hope that helps a little.
Looks a little like 28 Days Later font...

It does look like that, the ones I had looks like some of the letters are slightly offset... I like it because It kind of made the bubbles on my dock look like it was distorting them a bit.
Thanks for the tips, unfortunately I don't have the knowledge/software to make them myself! lol

Find the font you want, the words you want (please keep it to a minimum) and I'll put some together for you. Or at least do my best.

The font that guy linked in here will work fine.
I would like each icon to have 2 words if possible, kinda like PHONE with DIALER underneath it in smaller print. If not, then just the word Phone. Then MRKT with market underneath, TEXT with handcent underneath and WEB with browser underneath.
If the 2 word icons aren't possible then just the first word will work! Maybe in White or light gray if you can!
This would be greatly greatly appreciated

Alright. Try this. I tried them out on my own screen. Both sets have no background so they'll be hard to see until you place them on a dark dock background or dark wallpaper. If they don't work, holler at me. It only took about 10 minutes to do so any changes are pretty easy. You'll obviously have to unzip first before you put them on the sdcard. Good luck. Cheers.
Sweet!
Looks awesome man, I really appreciate you doing that for me!
Actually yea they are really hard to see on my bubble dock but not sure you can do anything about that...I'll try to find a different dock cause they are some kickass icons!

Yea I thought about that and wondered how it would look. I could have put a solid background on them but it would have hid the bubbles. Let me know if it works out. And no worries, my pleasure...that's what the forum is here for. Plenty of people have stepped up to help me out. Have a good one.
Hey friends,
i wonder if it is possible to build an LCARS UI like on this website: http://www.gtjlcars.de/ or here: http://www.lcars-terminal.de/
Those sites provide themes for XP, but i guess as a UI like MIUI would be better then building a theme around Android for it, right ?
I would die for an UI like this....

P.s. if thread is not wanted here, pls move, i'd feel sorry for posting in wrong sections!
That would be AWESOME!
Yeah, I'm a geek!
You could probably get the colour scheme and sounds through a MIUI theme (I'm assuming that's what you meant) but anything more would probably be a big work load. Looks awesome though

lcars theme
yeah i made the lcars theme but have discontinued it due to lack of support and very few props anyways if your interested check it out download sweeterhome beta2 and look up cybertuan
anyways like i said im gonna nix the project of no one is really intrested
ok so here are the new screen shots and what i have changed. still working on icons and which apks to include as i do not want to suffer the same fate as some of those that are being reminded that warez is not aloud. i will pick those that suit it best for everyone. when ready to upload which i hope will not be too much longer. i hope that you guys enjoy it as much as i do. trying to mod all png images for apks that i can is being a little difficult so i will upload screenshots of those when i get them ready.
also if im not able to share at least you have an idea of what im running;-)
to all of you that have stopped in to comment and give feedback i much appreciate it and in hopes when this is ready and i am able to upload, you let me know what you think. Thanks again

Maybe white text color in the notofications drop down menu. Its a bit hard to see when black.
Other than that it looks really good

Thanks for stopping and taking the time to comment. As i said its a work in progress. second its personal preference and nothing is in stone yet. so color choice really hasn't been decided. and i know alot of people that dig blue and would be happy to have it. thanks again for stopping in to comment though. i appreciate it and will do what mods i can.

Thank you for your feedback, white is exactly what i am thinking to put in the status bar and in the drop down. however, with the cyanogen mod settings installed, this can be done through there.
yet i dont want this to be just for a cyanogen settings phone. im looking into making it an available option for all 2.2 versions.
Black and purple just don't match up on the first SS.
Secondly the status bar is rarely ugly, all people will rather prefer just a colour (Black,white,blue etc)
Third the icon with all blue is not nice.

work in progress..... nothing set in stone yet, feedback is always appreciated. blue icons look great i think. if people hadnt already went ds with their themes already i would have a chance at one. however im workin with a variety but still trying to keep simple. work in progress. new screen shots coming soon to show the changes.
Way to go mate, it's a guttsy color scheme not my thing though. Purple and blacks like green on red, hard to read. I suggest keeping it simple, gentle but sharp.. I'll be way watching

new screen shots have been posted. hope its a little more to everyones liking as for what i have done. still modding pngs and what not. still have a little work to do on status bar icons. should have more done this weekend and ready to post on monday.
emm i think u should try lighter blue....like the color of the sea...sky or something like that if u want to go with blue...but i think is great....soon u will make a fine theme....also for the notification bar normally people would like white as a font because it is easy to read because of the background color....so if u stick with blue try make a light one...because it easy to contrast between the font and the background...anyway good luck dude....will follow ur progress...keep it up!!later u can make a theme with ur eyes close....haha....joking...
android 2.3?
how did u manage to get so many points in quadrant?)
btw - really unfortunate colors u've choses 4 ur theme (sry for my eng)
Need to say, Didn't like the theme at all, it's very simple with not good color scheme, but that score is AMAZING.
All themes should be unique, if the blue was slightly muted then it would be more appealing. But changing the density to 190 would make it aesthetically pleasing too... To be honest, the whole point of android os is the ability to create something unique, so well done

thanks for your comments. actually i did have a lighter blue at one time but didnt think that it really looked all that good, and really didnt go with the colors of the bee in wallpaper image. as im sure most users want there own wallpaper or background compared to using the one that is included with the package.
however, at the same time, there are those of us users who want everything we need and nothing we dont. meaning why add something or take something away if you really dont need to? i personally dont care for a large display of colors so keeping at least one color and having the rest black is suitable. so if all icons are black and blue. or black and green or black and yellow( yes pun intended if your heard this song). also the lesser value of bright colors means you dont have alot of bright screen when you dont need it.
my thoughts anyway

android 2.2 scores like this come from a multitude of things. the greatness of zdzihu for his 2.2b4, data2sd, xrecovery.
Sysctl
as for the color scheme. i notice there are alot of you out there that really dont care for it. and as i find this really hard to believe, wow! i like most themes that ive seen out there and am really impressed with all the work that was done to them. even though i dont care to use some of theme. as i didnt care for the status bar icons or in which color it was set. mainly the 2.2 white task bar. that drives me nuts!
feedback is always appreciated and am happy that you are one of the few people to stop in and read and comment shows that something might have caught your eye and you wanted to see where it goes. so that is appreciated as well.

i appreciate your view on "unique". to which if everyone wanted to really personalize their phone. they wouldnt want to try out what everyone, or anyone else has.
my first creation was black, purple and blue in some artistic paint splash decor for the statur bar and dropdown. it was nice for me other than not seeing the clock.
as changing the blue ill look into the density and take your suggestion into consideration.
for those that really dont like the clock, i like minium color as i use my device more at night and really dont care to put off a glow when using it. i like to see my device and not let everyone else see it.
especially when driving. i dont like a bright screen poopping in my face. i like something that just lights up with the perfect ambient light needed so im not too distracted.
Mods, please delete. as i have stopped working on this theme for now. this Thread is no longer needed. Thank you;-)
2720 in quadrant ? Respect
I would change the colour in the statusbar. Maybe a bit transparency would be nice And the pink text should be white or sth like that But all in all a good start
Sorry for my bad english
I currently have 6 themes for 3.1. Dark Blue, Light Blue, Green, Red, Orange, and Gold. When 3.2 drops I am not sure if I want to keep all of these themes so I am doing this poll to find out what colors I should keep.
I vote for Gold! BTW after I flashed Roach's 1.6 then flash the previous Gold theme, I went into a boot loop. Had to, sadly, back out of the theme. Any chance that theme will be updated for 1.6? Or should I have done something differently? (Flashed 1.6, then Netformer 1.5, wiped Dalvik, then the theme)
Thanks. Love your work.

I have not released any color other than DB for 1.6 so far. I was debating on if I was going to do any other colors. As you have asked for the Gold I will do that one tonight.
Excellent! Look forward to that. Thanks again.
TBH I have 6 themes...I have not had any request for any of my themes...people have complained that they are ugly and I need to redo them. So I am not even sure if I will continue sharing my work.
Chin up, Hatman. People seldom appreciate what others do for them. Am I cynical? Yeah. Over the years I've tried to find satisfaction from just doing things I enjoy...if others (or perhaps just one person) shares that enthusiasm then it's all good. As a PA, most of what I do is never noticed by patients or staff but I take pleasure in a job well done...or at least try to.
FWIW you have a fan here!

You will never be able to please everyone. If I don't like something I will not openly tell you that I think it's ugly but keep my mouth shut. It's courtesy! I would love to see the red, green, and gold themes

I wonder how long before 3.2 drops. It is alot of work redoing the frameworks...also....what do you all think of the digital battery icon? I am thinking of just including that in all the themes instead of the default one. I might add the circular one as a addon but I am not going to change the circular one to different colors. That is WAYYY to much work.

Maybe there's a "neutral" color that will match most color themes? White/silver/gray or such?

I'm kind of on the fence on the icon. I use a circle widget on my DroidX and the dual battery widget on the TF. One thinks that with all that doing a theme entails certain concessions must be made. And given that 3.2 should not be too far in the future being a bit forward thinking and waiting to do "full-blown" work might be prudent?
That said, the circular adds a numerical indicator missing in the standard icon but its color is not "mission-critical" in my opinion given the overall appeal of the theme.
Red would be awesome as ive been missing it since 1.5, figured it might be a good idea to wait until a final 3.2 to be released before any themes are made anyway. Keep up the good work, forget the haters that criticize without any input as to how they think the theme can be changed.
