Flashed my phone to PROven rom with the help here. Much better now than FUZE stock set up. Have seen some cool setups, icons, etc and have done some reading. I think I am confused. What is the difference between a theme and a wallpaper. I know in the DiamondConf program you can change the theme (i dont not have any in my drop down box, but i looks like the Settings>Wallpaper changes the today screen. I am confused but learning.
There was a great first time flash instructions in Rom developement forum. Would like to see the same for icons, clocks, etc.
same difference as on pc
a wallpaper is a background image
a theme is a setup of background image
and titlebar and fonts...........

I have an HTC Fuze Raphael basic rom with a few tweaks including mUns backgrounds for all tabs. I am a wallpaper freak & I constantly like to change it up. That means to see how my new wallpapers will look I have to go in & out of files which is time consuming. How about something where you plug in your phone to the computer your phones face shows on the computer screen & on the side you have all your background choices and everytime you click on a background it shows what your phone will look like with that wallpaper including what the tabs would look like too. Then how about an option to select a different wallpaper for each tab & viewing what it would look like. I also use Basic Hue Express which helps match the task bars to wallpapers. How about something that changes the task bar color with it too & having many choices of colors. Also the font style & color. If you want to get more into it have a selection of different clocks & icons. Then once statisfied click on complete & the theme shows right on your phone instead of downloading cabs or installing anything. Well thats my idea feel free to take it and run & make it better or add more ideas. Have fun developers! If you take on my idea keep me updated & let me test it out first hehe. Thanks! *Priscilla
Moved as not theme release.
RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT & HACKING
Yea thats cool
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in making a minimalistic black and white or black and light grey theme for ANY ROM.
I have zero graphical abilities so if anyone wants to take this up, it would be really appreciated.
Looking for a black background based theme with a numerically written battery without any background image (essentially the CM battery).
To make it super epic, if the theme was for devices set to 160 DPI, it would totally be awesome, if not then oh well.
Do It Yourself
If you know exactly what you want then you should try UOT Kitchen. Just Read the "How To" section first and you will be on your way to developing your first theme. Be sure to extract the proper files(SystemUI.apk and (framework-res.apk) from the ROM you are running to a familiar folder BEFORE you select "upload files" near the end of the process. This will save you time and will keep the files readily handy for your next cook. Regernate previews after each mod selection to see how it is looking. Search the forums for more on this subject, good luck! You can do this.
I just got a live wallpaper and Ive seen youtube videos of it where the user would scroll between the pages and the picture in the background would move, however my one just stays in the same background it wont move left or right. Its the same wallpaper how do I get it to move?
You cannot use features with multiple pages for the background using the Sense launcher (rosie) -
- you have to install an aftermarket launcher.
The way Rosie (Sense launcher) works with the background image is weird, so you also can't use things like Multi picture live wallpaper that I love on my Nook Color, and have set up on the one I gave to my lady with all of her pictures.

Yea, she is all about care bears, so I made her a personalized care-bear edition nook color for her birthday.
Custom icons, each home-screen to a different folder for wallpapers, the system font is in the actual care bear font (which I had to make from scratch because the ones available on the internet suck)...custom boot animation, etc..etc... it was a fun project, and got her to stop borrowing my nook color since she has her own.
She also got a taste of what the dev work i'm doing actually turns into, so she's more willing to give me dev time - all in all it was a big success and a lot of fun.
It really hit home when she had a chance to use someone else's nook color recently that was factory stock - lol - she was like "I couldn't do ANYTHING with it".
haha nice
Hey guys so I rooted my sidekick and started using Glorious Overdose V2 ever since and love (almost) everything about it. The one thing I hated was the color scheme. The blue on gray style of the icons can be very hard to read IMO and doesn't really look that good to me.
So, I took it upon myself to create a nice little theme with icons that are all bright yellow and green. I think it looks pretty nice for the most part (although some of the icons are a bit pixelly as I am not a photoshop guru) and looking at the icons is certainly much easier than it was with the original theme.
The .zip I am uploading contains the .png's I modified (I didn't take the time to edit EVERY icon) taken from /System/framework/framwork-res.apk --> /res/drawable-hdpi
All icons have their original names and I assume it should work with any ROM for the sidekick.
Please post here with any questions/feedback. I will probably be updating this pack in the future as I decide I want to change more. Also, if anybody knows how to put these into an .apk or a flashable update.zip please feel free to post that here as I'm a noob and don't know how to do those things lol.
Hello,
I installed the ZenceFil Seven for stock kernel and i really like it.
But, I don't like one thing in this whole ROM, my theme is blue and all the things on the screen are blue except the background/wallpaper in dial/contact section there is red wallpaper.
So, i want to change that picture to put some blue one to fit with my theme and everything..
And i tried 2-3 different themes to see will the Dial picture will change.. but no.
Please help me, I don't want to change this ROM because of this.
I'm new to this forum and with pimping the my X8.
