Goes behind an overlaid clock to give an approximation of the second hand. Both files are tuned to take 1second per "tick". Note, on the second one, there are two flashes then a pause, like a heart, which makes the second so it is a bit hard to catch the rhythm at first (yeah I should redo that one prolly). Sofar the only program that really likes them is S2U2.
Very simple, nothing special. Not perfectly symmetrical, I just drew it by hand in GIMP with the fuzzy brush tool. Were much sharper / smoother but optimized for much smaller file size. Anywho, if anyone else was looking for a Gif Secondhand for an overlaid clock and can stand my sense of style (looks good in S2u2 IMO), here yah go.

I am not "happy" with the clock hands, but I'm at work and the only program I have to work with is GIMP. Maybe I can make them look better in photoshop.

-Yes I know they spin in reverse, I have a strange sense of aesthetics
man, you must have been bored
nice though,kinda hypnotising
If you are using S2U2 you can use the Analog clock option and use drop this file in place of the regular clock face to center the hands on the animation. I didn't even think about it when I was making it but apparently the small dots and the corner dots make the hours of a clock lol. I need to make some better hands for this but I will have to do that tommorow when I have time.
I'm havin fun lol piddling with this stuff.

I was wondering how to disable displaying the program name on the taskbar - is there a registry tweak for this?
It's just a cosmetic thing, i would rather see the taskbar clean with just the icons and time instead of having the current running program's name on it.
Any solution?
The closest I've come is by using something like Tweaks2k2 to change the Start-bar font color. So using something like Vicott's great UI Tweaker app, I change my top/bottom bars to all black, then change the font-color to black too.
That will "hide" the program title but, as a side effect it also changes the Time font color. Your signal bars, data connection, battery are untouched though.
It's simple, elegant and my choice for doing things, but like I said you loose the clock. Also, matching the exact colors to the top/bottom bars can be tedious if you don't know their exact color codes, if you do you're all set.

It looks really nice, the way you have done your layout - I like it a lot. I tried changing the colour of the text, but the thing is, I don't wanna loose the WM6 bars - and I am not able to find the matching colour while keeping the "glass" look. But thanks for the advice
If you don't want to lose the clock, you can use analogic clock instead of digital clock (long click over clock to change it)
Thread will be moved to Q&A
I'm kinda curious to see how a Google TV-like theme would look on CM6.1 -- I think it'd look awesome and Gingerbread probably has some similarities so it'd be a good theme to hold some of us over 'till CM gets to it. I'm pretty good at the graphic design thing but am always loaded with work so I usually start something on my free time and never finish...
Anyway, what I'm thinking is that I could make all the graphics files, I'd then pass it on to some one who can adjust the XML (pretty much only changing black text to white). I've done some detailed XML (spacing, color, etc) stuff before but it'd just give me a headache to go back into (trying to fix Sense's complete and utter fail at design does that to you...). I want to finish this over the weekend so it'd have to be someone who has experience and knowledge of a lot of the XML values (menus, pop ups, status bar, etc). If anyone is able and interested, just leave a reply.
The theme itself should be pretty easy to make, it'd look stock but dark w/ blue glow-ish highlights. For examples:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Some examples of my Android-y work to judge if its worth helping me:
Complete radio app remake. Will probably release soon.
Swype, part of a Sense face lift theme I was making before I moved to CM.
Just the dock and icons.
There is already an alternate themed skype found in tmobile's mytouch4g using a variant of htc sense. Although nice work there : )
I think there may be something like this for windows phones? Anyway, would really like a little analog clock in the status bar instead of the digital readout. It's actually nice to know the time when surfing the web, tweeting, etc. but the digital clock is out of place with a circle status bar icon theme. I've attached a picture to help with the visual.
Anybody interested in making this I would be willing to donate my time and/or money in helping to make this possible. May involve making a million .png files, but I do not know. Would like to see if there is any other interest in this/if it's even a possibility (I have not seen anything). I think It would look pretty slick!

Agreed. That would look nice. I think it would take a bit of coding though. Over my head. Those round icons do look nice. Where did you get those from?
the Ultimate Online Theming Kitchen. just google it, it should come up as the first hit. Pretty awesome kitchen and super easy to use.
something like this should be possible:
lower the clock font, and put those brackets on the titlebar background. I would change the batt icon too. standard measure would be easiest. you still have exact percentage on desktop.
that does look pretty good, thanks for putting that together. Deff gonna mod the batt like that.
My request still stands though, I want a 2 hands turning circles in the top right corner!
Ok, so basically this is a sorta home screen (hs) theme that I made. I wanted the clock and all the other widgets to sorta blend in with the background and add to the picture as if it was really there... and this was my creation:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: The left screen was left blank for you to fill in with whatever you want. I have my quick contacts there (which is why it's blank - for privacy reasons) and they blend in pretty well also .
In any case, the theme is made up of a few things:
Background image - bg.jpg
Analog Clock - G_TowerClock.cab
Mail/SMS mod - G_Mail-SMS mod.cab
Weather - Co0kie's weather widget- install that also and place it halfway between the first and second screen.
Just install those two files and set up the background image (very wide!) and you're set to go
For those who were wondering, I use 3 levels, so my first level (0) is like my regular HTC sense homescreen, the 2nd (1) is always something impressive [this ], and the 3rd is always quick links.
Cheers!
-G-
Thats pretty cool
Good job man.........
Indeed, a cool & personal theme Great job
So now you almost have two themes if you extend your Geek Clock to a Geek Theme

Animated Sticky Notes on Live Wallpaper.
Want to note? Put your sticky note on live wallpaper, and in every moment, you can see it. No chance to forget something, if you write it on the live wallpaper. Sticky note is moving on your screen, for better chance to see it. It is not a widget, it's Live Wallpaper! Animated Android and girl themes.
You can chose between two themes, Android and Summer theme. On your animated wallpaper, you can put five notes. It works in your background, and it's not like other applications, without any click, you will always be able to see your sticky notes.
Supported screen resolutions: 480x800, 320x480 and 240x320.
***More themes soon.

This app is incompatible with your HTC HD2.

you probably want to change your phone model in build.prop and reboot twice and try again...
but then again there could be easier ways to fix it i dunno
Awesome App. I have been looking for something like this for ages.
Many Thanks.
Added new classic theme with rotating paper.
