So, I've created my first theme.
EDIT: Version 0.6 is out -- check it out.
It is a Desire like theme, with a black bar and colorful icons.
This theme is still a work in progress, so watch for updates. I will try to keep it updated as CM6 updates are released, so watch for that as well.
This theme works wonderfully on CyanogenMod 6.0.0 STABLE on the Nexus One, should work on other HDPI devices (EVO4G, DROID Incredible, etc). It may work on 854x480 devices (DROID), but I'm not sure. Give it a shot, if it works for you, let me know!
A special thanks goes out to Formel-LMS and MicroMod777, for their themes are which this theme is based off of.

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that happens to you, your phone, your computer, your mom, your girlfriend, etc. I will try my best to help you out, please bear with me.
PROTIP: If you have issues applying this morph, first, try again, second, adjust your speed in the metamorph settings and try again. If you would like to revert, reflash your base ROM (and GAPPS).
morphed this, looks awesome
did get about half my apps showing up duplicated in the launcher though.
Well, that is quite odd.
I had no issues here, and quite honestly, I have no idea what would cause the icons to duplicate. Hmm...
Thanks for the props though!
ill look into it, its prob just my phone
everything else is fine, its nice to have a blackbar on froyo with transparency to it instead of a solid pulldown color
good stuff man only this i can tell that could be updated is when i pull down the status bar "t-mobile" is black/dark grey is that by design?
Yeah, I noticed that as well. I still gotta change that to white.
I'm quite tired though, and I was getting ready to head to bed.
I will put out 0.3 tomorrow, fixing that.
Thanks again guys, enjoy!
Sorry it took me a couple days to get the update out there, I spent the weekend at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. While it was a blast, it did delay me getting the update out.
The only thing that has been changed from 0.2 is the network name color from black to white.
However, I would like some feedback. Do you think it would be cool if I made the text RED while roaming?
What else would everyone like to see out of this?
I'm also thinking about changing the LED colors on a per-app basis...
GMail = Red
Google Voice = Purple
Google Talk = Yellow
etc...
What do you think about that?
Come on guys, help me out!
Morphed this with metamorph and now my settings and menu>widgets crashes with the note "android.processes.acore has crashed" Any help?
Grab me a logcat? Also, perhaps try to re-morph it at a different speed? I have mine at 4200 and have had no issues. And where exactly is this occuring again? Can you clarify it a little better so I can attempt to re-create it on my end?
I'm sorry that you're having issues and I would like to help, but you gotta help me help you =D
I got rid of my issues with "android.processes.acore has crashed" by dissabling screen cache in adw launcher settings...
Basically I'm running 7 screens with scrolling widgets for messages and calendar (pure).
Flicking a few times back and forth between screens and scrolling the widgets would cause the error time and time again until I disabled that.
Now the scrolling is not as nice as before, but the prosess doesn't crash.
The morph works without issues on my n1.
-e
----edit--
Request for battery percent if it can be done
Some roms have started including it, and I'm sure cyan will on next alpha, but until then it would be nice to morph it in..
Apart from that, all good. I like it simple. Perhaps add some colored settings (like my screenshot) that would match the settings app..
Will this work with CM6.0a1 and launcher pro replacing ADW as default launcher in system/app?
I'm also looking for some info on using themes in cyanogen with launcher pro. Is there anything out there?

Yeah, that sounds pretty intensive. 7 screens lol. I'm using 5, with quite a few widgets, with no issues.
I will try to incorporate those features for you.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with Launcher Pro, at least in its current state, I don't touch the Launcher.apk at all.
May I ask why you prefer Launcher Pro to ADW? I'd just like some insight, I've never really looked into LP.

LP is MUCH Faster than ADW!!! That is one reason. I know it is close sourced but it is definitely faster at the moment. We will see what happens with updates.

Will this work with the Nightly Builds for CM6?
I think it will break battery percent on the nightly builds...
To get battery percent I believe the changes are in services.jar, and since this metamorph modifies that to get white text then it might break. (I'm not sure though)
I will try later today though, so we'll see
Perhaps the op would be so nice as to create a temp morph for the nightly build *wink* *wink*
----edit----
Yea, nightly build is on, and its sweet
The morph will break a lot of stuff, but I reckon if we remove the xml/jar files from the metamorph, and just apply framework.png's it will work fine.
CM6 nightly will let you change all text colors to whichever you want through settings, so the morph need only to contain .png's...
---edit2---
Removed the "services" folder, and the "layout" folder (in framework res), edited the sexyblack .xml to remove the entry for the files I deleted, and now this work perfect on cm6 nightly!!
Hey all, I played around a little today with building CM from source. Pretty sweet stuff.
I will put out a version tomorrow that will work with the nightlies.
And yes, it will be a hell of a lot easier because the color control is incorporated in CMParts.
I'm off to bed, long night.
Thanks again guys!

Hey,got a quick question: I'm trying to install the red icons with better cut - There's a few that won't let me change them, like messages, people,and camera...says "the linked program is no longer installed on your phone" Any ideas of how I can get them to change? It will create the icon,but when I press it, that's the message I get. It's not the red icons, because it'll do it with any icon or pic I try. It has something to do with the particular app itself... any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

File organizer works awesome, still can't change the messages icon tho... it changes for a sec,bet immediately switches back to default...all the others worked - needed full version of the app to add them to my homescreen,but no biggie,only $1.25,and worth it. Any ideas why the messages app can't be changed? Does it need to be renamed or something of the sort? Sorry to hijack your thread JB... Thanks a lot!
Can't wait for th pmf theme. I like this on sense too

The more red thread is more of a mix and match smorgasbord... plus this theme is pretty much completely my own work. I literally redrew a few hundred .9 pngs...
I like cubanaso's red theme but i wanted something that blended with stock sense a little bit more. The other thread will remain open for parts and this one will be maintained for Sense builds.
Wow! This is just to good. Thanks. I really appreciate the work you do. When I get paid I will be more then happy to donate. This is how the Incredible should have looked like expect with stock icons.

Hey! First off, love your theme's! Second I had been using the old red framework theme, and currently just loaded your new red one from here. My question is why didn't you add in the same "phone bar" (not sure the technical term for it) from the old red one to the new one? Just curious cause I thought it looked cooler
Cheers and Thanks for all the awesome themes!
P.S. A Facebook and/or Handcent Icon in red would be awesome
Flawless
1st android phone, how does a pmf file differ from the other one? do you install that one same way?
i figured it out about the pmf so scratch that
Something i noticed in the pmf theme
the Mail icon, the word "mail" is lower than the rest of the other icons text, so if its on the bottom row of a screen the word mail bottom half is cut off
I'd like to see a handcent red theme icon, if possible.

Ok, so I'm rockin' the PMF 1.1 ROM,with your awesome red theme for it - I love it! The one thing I noticed,the google search widget isn't skinned. Wondering if you plan on skinning that out? Also, I have pandora,and wondering if it's possible if you could skin that widget out as well? No biggie-just curious. Thanks a lot!
I decided to do my own based off of JD's and Original Android <3ers! , also credit to tr.slate for the blue androids for when connecting to pc.
Anyone who wants to mod the file please do, any enhancements you want to add please do.
this is the Desire theme, just with tr.slate's androids, hope you all like it, and give a big cheer for these guys.
the background is not part of the theme thats a ADW launcher theme from the market called iDroids.
by the way you will still have to change to white as in the old JD theme, and you FLASH this Via Amon_RA 1.7.0.1 or clockwork (not tried this one).
Right i have also made a MORPH if anyone wishes to try it, REMEMBER do NANDROID first i am not in any way held responsible for any damages or loses.
USE of this theme is solely upon you.
right desiretheme white is with the car nav notification white, it is not great but im not a graphics designer, also have change sms and mms notifications smily face to green. and also the gmail notification is now a little symbol of the gmail icon.
number on the end of the file relate to the number on CM nightly's.
RIGHT I NOW HAVE COMPILED A ROM FROM CYANOGENMOD SOURCE
* Now this is Cyan's Work i take no credit what so ever,
In this rom you will find it is a 6.1 CM release with some added features.
* Added Dark Tremors A2SD Script
*Added Desire Theme - for those who want it
*Edited some Gmail, MMS, And settings icons.
TO BE ADDED
* I want to add IntersectRavens Kernel from the start.
(will be avaliable soon) - Testing!!!
THEME UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!

DesireTheme(612).zip (i.e. not morph) on a cm6 nightly from yesterday. Took awhile to track down all the places you have to manually change notification text colors, but well worth it.
cool, glad it worked.
Morph didn't work on 055406. It applies ok, but nothing is changed after a reboot.
Ok will have to look into that.
Can I ask what version of metamorph you are using.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
ok, uploaded a changed morph. let me know if this works. i had a .thm file and .xml file in there, dunno if thats causing the prob, i have removed the .thm file and left the xml file. see if this works.
It works now. Turns out TiBackup did not restore the market link for MM so there was an update I could not see. Thanks for this man, it looks good.
cool, glad it worked.
I noticed that the "car home" icon that shows up in the status bar when using the car dock is still the default black icon (on the now black status bar). What're the chances of getting a reverse car dock status bar icon in some future update?
i will look into that

My wife is really loving this theme! She does have 4 suggestions:
1. Make the locked screen button pink instead of the redish color.
2. In the Call log of the dialer, the phone numbers for each contact show up as orange. She would like them changed to pink.
3. Make the clock pink in the status/notification bar instead of the current grey.
4. In the default browser when you load up a webpage, she was wondering if the bar that shows the webpage loading progress could be Pink instead of orange? I told her this probably isn't possible, but then again it might be. I have no clue
The locked screen button color changed is the main thing she wanted, let me know if you need screenies for any of these. Your theme let me convince my wife that she should root her phone to customize it further, so thanks again!!
looks good! gonna get this for the gf

Haha, I figured you would need them. I was trying to take the lazy way out. Sorry I got a little scribble happy on the call log page, let me know if you need me to do it again. What phone do you have? A fascinate? Pretty nice of you to do this without owning the phone.
I just forgot a couple other things she told me. And one thing I think would be cool...
1. Change the 4g logo in the status bar to pink
2. When you select an icon, it has a orange border. Would be nice if it were pink
3. I was wondering how hard it is to remove the location icon. If all the other things are pink, it would be nice if that just went away. If that's hard to do, maybe make the pink so it fits in with everything else?
edit. Donation sent, really appreciate what you do! Trying to make my wife like android as much as I do.

they look nice, but i think it would be better if they were all one color like the silver ones
I've already tried the single-color thing, it doesn't really look good on anything other than grey/silver.
I'll have a ton more colors as I work the kinks out.
This one's a bit better, imo.
More ICS-looking, whatever that means.

Once I get the landscape mode tuned-up I'll post them all.
The clocks look amazing I hope I can download them soon.
I think I'm done tweaking, now I have no idea how to package it as a "skin" (settings and all...)
Once I get it figured out, I'll post packages.
In the meantime, here's the "final" in black (my favorite, so far):
Argh, so this is turning out to be a nightmare simply because of Beautiful Widgets itself.
I've created these to look great with MY settings, but any time I change anything it just looks wrong. This widget is definitely not up to the task.
I use Apex with a grid of 5x4 and use the 4x2 Super Clock widget, and it looks great, BUT, if I use the standard 4x4 it stretches and looks bad. If I change the margins, it stretches and looks bad. If I look at it the wrong way, it stretches and looks bad. I also can't embed any of the clock's settings (text color, alphas, etc) into the skins, so color options are basically nil.
Does anyone know of a skinnable clock widget that has a 100% static size no matter what home settings you use?
