I'm going to go ahead and call this dead...I can't find anyone willing to work on this, and those I did find are out of contact, or cannot work on the theme...so yea, I'm going to reach out to some people, but the future of this theme isn't looking good...sorry guys...anyone who wants to pick up this theme let me know via gtalk ([email protected]) or email (same email)

By DAVID1171 and AbsoluteDesignz
latest updated version coming soon (Statusbar and statusbar icons)
UPDATE 4/30/2010 ADDED MODIFIED CHOMPSMS 3.8 APP AND MODIFIED OFFICIAL TWITTER APP AS ATTACHMENTS
From David1171
This is the first public release and there is still a lot we plan to do with it, so bear with us.
Minimalistic Beta
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/Minimalistic_Beta.zip
Alternate Widgets
These are widgets that were made during the testing phases, and are the ones shown in the current screen shots in the OP. The widgets in the above file are about 40% transparent (vs. 50%) for the black ones, and have a slight shadow underneath them. The calendar widget is also only at 25% transparency and has a black border around it.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/Minimalistic-Flat-Widgets.zip
Since we have yet to do the status bar icons (just had other things we were working on first), I recommend that you install the desire notification bar for your ROM from here, so that you can have a decent looking status bar, and a proper working services.jar.
Once the theme gets large enough, or enough is done with, then we will start releasing the bulk of it as flashable updates, and leave morphs to smaller parts of it.

For More Icons to use with Bettercut you may need to resize the icons yourself to 72x72 if you are using an app on the dock as it may cause distortion in its fullsize (no clue if the 72x72 icons from better cut don't distort)
i used the ecqlipse icons on Deviant art...search for those and use bettercut to apply...especially since all of those will be in data/app and thusly not useable by Metamorph anyways.
here are two sets I know off hand...

I'll do my best...I hope me and David can work something out...due to its lack of overall complexity (with most things being a shadeless, transparent black white or grey) it should be relatively easy...if I knew anything about .9pngs and XML etc, I'd prob do it all myself...
I love the look of this! Would very much appreciate if this became reality, good luck!
Seems like it could be a great theme.
I know currently there is a closed beta of a minimalism theme for the Droid, which should be available to the public around the beginning of May.
I'm sure it will take little to no time for someone to port it over to the Nexus when it does become live.
Here is a link:

seems like your pretty good with photoshop yourself. why dont you make your own theme?

i know, how deep it goes is absolutely fantastic, they themed things I didn't even know were theme-able. lol
Yea the coder for the theme is a beast. Xeudoxus has edited so much of the xml's in order to get the theme to where it is now.
Also I made an icon pack beta for that theme last weekend on saturday. Spent about half a a day vectoring icons. I will redo them with lowered opacity on the black so it will look nicer, but this is just a sample:
I can upload them if anyone needs them.
very nice...me and david1171 are working on a version of the mockup i presented here...well it feels like he's doing all the work, I don't really know much on how to theme and whatnot...need help on an accent color to complement the white/grey/black...any suggestions?
If your theme is as thorough as the one on alldroid, you got a person who will theme right away.
Also as a side note, will that theme ever make it to our nexus one, seeing as how its for the motorola droid at the moment

I hope so...that'd be a nice option to have.
no offense to any themers, but with the exception of a few themers a lot of themes have seemed very chaotic.
Exactly, some are too unorganized. One I seen "minimalistic" in your theme header I was sold, I feel the more subtle a theme, the better. Good luck to the both of you.
"If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all"
- Futurama lol
If donations are needed to make the theme as great as the alldroid one, show a link
You could take the statusbar icons from my theme, seems like it would fit your minimalistic look.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665451
It's still undergoing extensive work, but this is a small update (well actually first update)
looks good so far, me and David are sitll working on the details and minor things, and are attempting to make this a systemwide theme so yea, don't overhype it and PLEASE don't bump often or whatnot...it'll get done, and it'll be marvelous.
It'll prob be realeased as a series of morphs...
icon test
widget test
a lot of work to do here...but I figured I'd update you guys.
going to mirror this in the OP if I can.
Just wanted to chime in and say that the status bar is going to be like the widgets as it is in the mock up in the OP, so that people wouldn't think the desire bar is part of it, that part of the screen shots are from me running my full theme while testing the small things already done, and from the previous things AbsoluteDesignz was/is running.
If people would like a morph of the widgets, I see no reason we can't put that out.
The battery icon in the screen shots is the current battery icon in its current phase though it may change.

This is another change I ended up with by accident, when working on the text-less icons for the app drawer. This is based off of Fresh 2.1.2, but should work with any Sprint based 2.1 ROM.
I originally discarded it, but thought it might be cool to, in addition to changing the color of the app drawer & add shortcuts background from solid black to some other color (gray in this mod), to also make the background semi-transparent, so that your wallpaper shows through, and this is the end product.

I don't know, I thought it was kind of cool / different, thoughts? Anyone interested in this?

I like it because it is different - what Roms will it run on?
This should work on most Sprint-based ROMs.
It is really starting to grow on me. Here's an example using a photo type wallpaper background where you get a better sense for the "transparent factor".
It is something, I think, that looks better in real-life, as opposed to screen captures. I'll probably post a MetaMorph tomorrow.

It's right under your nose. Check the link in my sig, lol.
First post has been updated with MetaMorph control files for applying this change.
It has really grown on me and I am liking it very much. It is not too dissimilar to the semi-transparent notification menu we've grown accustomed to. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
As mentioned above, I think it looks really nice when you have a photo style wallpaper.
Added this Mod!!! I have been looking for a transparent app background for a while. You also went the extra distance and did the same thing to the shortcuts background. Just wanted to say thank you for this and it worked for fresh 2.0d. The only thing that I had to do is re-add all the widgets on my screen after the update. Thanks man keep the updates coming!

Good to hear. Let us know as we are so much into the copying and testing, we need some "unbiased" feedback and whether our guides and files work as expected
if im completely honest, i dont think you did the original concept justice. i think the changes you made dont really 'fit' the theme and think you should have kept it to exactly how it looked in the concept but that's just me. great work on putting it together though, i know quite a few people have been waiting for it.

thats fine - we dont mind if you or others now modify it back into the original theme or improve our theme. Sometimes, in order to improve somthing, one needs to create something.
We (he_stheone and I) have seen too many concepts die since nobody gave it an intial shot or a mega-project fail since it was all "too much work" - and creating and porting a theme is a massive undertaking, once thats done, the rest is tweaking - which we are happy to see you guys do based on our "interpretation" if you like.
can someone port for G1 CM6 rc3? been waiting for it a long time...
Is there a way to change the battery icon. Tried to use metamorph but it didint change.
always, just go to the framework-res and modify the batt_stat pngs. we are in the process of making them more elegant for the theme already, but that could take a couple of days.
hi, good work !
possible to have transparent statusbar ?
tks
I think that r0ark did nice additions to the original ElegantSteel concept.
Could you ask him to share his statusbar icons and his mods and add them to this theme.
That would make this theme complete and I would root my nexus one just to apply a theme for the first time.
nice to see that this theme is being worked on and ported to nexus one.
i'll follow this thread for sure.
the theme is nice but what i was really waiting for was the modding of the dialer and contacts apk. why didnt you implement it? cause i know you guys had worked on it and there are even screenshots of the dialer with the semi transparent background. just hope it comes as an update to this theme. thanks again!
The dialer (contacts) IS heavily modded with the transparency hack, but if you look into Jedispotty screenshots http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699497, you will see that the background is not transparent. But in order to change the background from plain black to the structured one, we had to implement that hack (by xml and style change in the resources.arsc).
So changing this to your needs is now very easy, since now you only need to change the btn_dial_textfield_pressed.9.png in contacts res/drawable/hdpi-finger - you can use a different backgound or set a different transparency level for that png. So basically we tricked the contacts, to use that png as a custom background
I just give you an example, what you can do with only changing this single png (screens come from my X10 and Sense Theme)
Full transparency

Try these icons - I adjusted the colour of all pendo icons (c, not b - since c was already indexed) to fit to the theme. It`s not in the main theme yet, since I`m basically consulting here from the outside (Milestone user), but it defintely works.
So you can just give it a shot:

Been waiting for this. But could it be possible to release a version of the theme without the custom font? Nothing against the font, it's just hard to read when you're going through e-books or long articles on the browser.
Pressed Color
What is the color that is used when something is pressed such as an item in a list?
Also, I have CM6 RC3 but I have used metamorphs already. Do I need to re-install CM6RC3 (w/o a wipe) before I can install this?
Thanks

Theme is still WIP - here you find a themed ADW Launcher. Since it is signed you can either install it just like a regular apk or push it asl Launcher.apk in system/app with permissions 644 or put it as Launcher.apk in the theme app folder and run the installation process again.
Thyrus will put it later in the main theme.

Screens are from my Milestone, so there are slight differences due to the different battery icon (which caused issues on CM6).

Well, let me just say... haven't been tempted to do a custom rom at all till seeing your screens.. now it's a MUST!!!! Black is my favorite colour and your rom/theme would be well within my likes...
Don't know the advantages to custom rom or the disadvantages but either way.... looks are important...

It's called "Darkside" for Windowblinds app. It's looks really good if you like dark themes but every now and then you'll notice something cookey about it. For the most part though, I use it 95% of the time.

Haven't tried Dark Ginger yet, but in Dark Froyo 2.2, the reboot and power off buttons weren't themed (they were white with a gray outline while airplane and sound were solid gray, all on a white background). Was wondering if it's fixed on this one, or is it a straight port?

Not a problem. Don't have my laptop yet, so I can't theme or fix things, so I figured I'd help you out a bit. Not to mention you'd probably do a better job anyways.

So far it hasn't!
looking great so far.
the widget editor in adw still looks a little bit funny, the buttons and icons look nice, except for the color of the text. also, the background/border is still grey. I figure you already know about it though.
I just tried out navigation and it looks so awesome!
I imagine it will be easier to change the text color of the notification drop down once cyanogen adds it into the settings. are you going to wait for that or are you trying to change the background and text colors of the notification drop down?
1 thing I would like to see is a different icon for gps in the status bar. right now it is the location bulls eye with a solid center.
keep up the great work :thumbsup

Something else I just noticed is the navigation icon on the status bar cannot be seen because it's too dark.

Yeah, all those things you mentioned I will work on. I have not changed any status bar icons to have people enjoy gingerbread icons for a while till I complete the images there. Different sizes so I will have to make them again cause resizing the images they look weird so I will remake the old ones smaller! The pulldown bar is giving me issues but yes once they complete the code changes with the rom then my edited images should work. They have theirs already in the framework but the code is not there yet! Thanks for the feedback!
Ok, I'm finally posting a beta of my 1st theme. I have lots of time constraints so release/updates may be slower than others, but hopefully worth it. Also won't be doing any other version than 2.1.A.0.435 for now for the same reason, but I may if this goes over pretty well.

Bootscreen & Analog Click Widget
Wallpaper (will add to a 'pack' & delete image when there's more)
I have redone most of the animated .png's "from scratch" in Photoshop, including the 120+ battery icons, the spinners, "Connecting" call icon, downloads, etc. as well as a LOT of the static icons and .9.png's. So these icons will be unique to this theme unless someone likes them and ports them to another (feel free themers, but please give credit!). Bootscreen is from the interweb (sorry, I forget) & is not the ideal resolution but really "matches"...
Feel free to add suggestions or let me know what I missed or what you'd like to see.
Done: (aside from tweaks & missed bits)

can you plz share the app-drawer icon for the launcherpro?
i mean that droid-skull...
and by the way ... nice theme!
THX in advance
I like this theme but I'm using FreeX10 right now. This theme look like GreenGlow.
I think you can add the lock screen picture.
It's beautiful & fantastic... Although i'm on 2.2 & i can't use it, but i really loved it.. Are you thinking to port it for 2.2 also?

I will attach the icon in a few sizes. I made it for when the superuser app needed a new icon. Didn't win the contest but I still like it.
and... Thanks!

I figured I'd get compared to that theme. the resemblance is unintentional but I take it as a great compliment!
The 'glow' on mine isn't a part of the status bar, it's a shadow I tweaked. You can tell in the 1st pic where the notifications are down it moves

Thanks for the comment.
I have never even looked inside a 2.2 'rom' so I don't know how hard porting it will be but I have kept my images organized so hopefully it won't be too bad. I will definitely look into it once I have the 2.1 more complete.

First off, HOLY CRAP!!! Sir, nice theme.
And I don't think just because this is a green theme that makes it similar to the greenglow theme. This one has a more metallic look, and it's very polished and professional (not knocking greenglow here, it looks great as well).
And I think he thought you simply forgot to add a screen cap of your lockscreen, but it seems you are redoing it.
As for 2.2, I am using Free X10 and I've opened it up, the framework-res.apk looks very similar to 2.1, but the names of all the images are different, Sony renamed everything for their ROM, so you can copy/paste many of the images, but you will have to rename them all... considering how many there are... it will most likely take some time. As for the phone and messenger and some other apks, those will a little reworking, because they are slightly different from the Sony versions (mostly the messenger).
I would love to see a 2.2 port, because I am really impressed with this.
However, may I suggest perhaps changing the notification pull-down background, the chain link looks nice, but it seems a little busy and doesn't seem to fit the rest of the theme all too well, maybe a transparent dark green brushed metal look, something similar to the default background. But it's really just personal opinion here. I don't know if this is possible, because the background is usually tiled, maybe just a solid, transparent, dark green.
As for names, I suck at naming things, lol... But I get an industrial feel from this... maybe "Industrial Green", or "Industrial Hunter".
Keep it up, this looks beautiful.
The name
Hi there!
Even if I do not use the theme, you (who made it) deserve congrats. It is well made, beautiful and posh. As I have and love my luster white x10, some colors seem not to match it. Its is personal, I know. I would love having a brown/golden theme, or even a Violet one.
Again, congrats.
By the way it is, I would call it """THE CHLOROPHYLL""""
@bleached45: Thanks for the compliments, suggestions, and insight into 2.2. I may try to enlist some help to port it if it's too much... would definitely like to let you guys try it!
As for the notification pull-down, it is definitely out of place, I made it and have been using it because I like the way it looks in motion kind of a novelty.
maybe just a solid, transparent, dark green.

I have one like this already made for this theme! Will most likely release w/that.
I am also playing with doing a "perforated metal" pulldown.
I'll have to start a theme add-ons thread (maybe just 2nd post..) for the more "adventurous" stuff
@igoroak:
Thanks, I may look into doing different color variations if possible.
Cheers.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions & kind words.
I thought of a possible name too: Suave Green. What do you think?
Thought I could get done before work but no go. Hopefully I can post it up late tonight/ tomorrow morning.

No link ???
Alright ladies and gentlemen, I have spent many a sleepless night working on this and it is a few boredom filled days away from initial release, but far from completion. I am looking for feedback! If you don't like something, tell me and I'll look into it.
This started out being a Steampunk theme, and I think keeps the basics of it, but is not full out Steampunk.
It will be for most roms using the VillainTheme system, not theme chooser. There will not be a battery % displayed in the status bar, just the images as normal.
BEFORE YOU POST, CHECK THE SECOND POST FOR THINGS I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIX / EDIT.
Pay no attention to the LauncherPro dock and icons at the bottom and let us begin...

Downloads
SteamPunk Initial release, still a lot of work to do. Flashable, should work with most 2.3.x roms.
Random Wallpapers that I think go with the theme.
Market Link to a free LWP that looks ok.

Things I'm trying to fixImage #1
Make the on / off icons bigger. Also some of the on / off buttons are not made yet, I forgot about those
Image #3
The USB stick is colored when you mount your SD card.
Image #4
Same as #1, maybe make the background more see through.
Image #5
Add a background image to the dialer. Probably leather.
Working with Mister Hat to make another dialer.
Image #6
Align icons
Image #7
Align icons
Image 8
This image is to show you the change to the desk clock, I don't like the time bars.
Misc
Also changed a couple of icons. What do you guys think; change them automatically or let you change them using adw or whatever?
Code:
8/23/11 Uploaded initial test release.
Suggestions so far:
Rounded corners on tabs.
Get rid of antique phone icons.
The maindock area reminds me of starcraft
Antique phones
I don't dig the antique phone icons, especially the grey one used in image #5 for the phone tab / dialer.
Also, I think you should make rounded corner tabs instead of black/white gradient.
Looking forward to it.
Yeah I agree, I loved the colorized theme.. this one would be something I'd rock in my late 60's.

It's greyed out because that tab is selected. Also this pic was taken early, it's not b&w gradient, it's all tan. I'll add new photos in the morning.
Also I'll look into the rounded corners. Don't know how to do that yet....

Thanks. I actually have considered setting this to the side since there has been so little feedback.
But when I get it done it will work for most roms, G2x and O2x.

Sweet man! Right now I can't think of anything, but if you are inspired to make anything, standard icons (I don't plan on theming app icons), or whatever. Let me know and I'll throw them in.
Keep up the good work...
I"m also looking into what files draw that button bar at the top of the contacts dialer. I couldn't find it by just looking at the .9.pngs, so next I"ll dig through the xml and find what drawables in calls to make that.
I'm getting the feeling that it may be in framework-res, though...if I find it, I'll share with ya.
It is in framework-res, I can't remember the names off the top of my head, something tab selected and unselected. Thanks man.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It looks like it's the tab_focused .9's in framework...if you change the shape of that, you'd have to know what else uses that drawable.
However, there is tab_pressed_bottom and such, in Contacts that will dictate a colored bar underneath your tabs when one is pressed.
I didnt' have much success changing the shape of the tabs...I mean, I can change the shape of them, but it just didn't look as good as I had hoped.
So what I did instead on mine, was made the tabs transparent...and then layered up the icons how I wanted them to look. That way, I can make the tab look any way I want.
Here's an example. I am toying around with the idea of making a rounded corner red border to each tab, something like what I attached.
I didn't mean to hijack your thread, I'm just hoping to be nearly as helpful to you as you were to me in the past.
It'd be pretty sweet to use this in the dialer.

That would be cool. If you want to put those icons together, I'll make it an add on for the theme. I like the buttons I have because of the background I've set up, but I'm not above making other people happy
