Like the stock normal look and feel of Android, but don't much care for orange? Well, here's a blue alternative. Check out the screenshots below.
It's a metamorph, so apply accordingly. I expect you to know how to use Metamorph. Search around on XDA or Google if you need to learn it.
This is a flash-over theme. It will only work and look right if you apply it over the stock Cyanogenmod rom as only the images/files that need to be changed from orange to blue are modified. If you have a theme already, flash your current Cyanogenmod rom from recovery first before applying this metamorph.
This has been tested on both the Droid and the Nexus One each with Cyanogen's latest roms (5.0.6.2). It should work for future versions as well.
Apps not yet themed (will still have some orange bits):
Market
Youtube
Gmail
Facebook
any other market app...
I haven't decided if I want to include these in the theme since I'd have to modify and re-sign the full APKs. Also, if I did that there wouldn't be any updates. Market and Youtube shouldn't be a prolem, and I plan on including those.
I also want to say thank you to the following people:
@Stericson for his awesome work on metamorph and making it all possible.
@Cyanogen for the awesome work on the ROMs.
@PhaseBurn and @iShawnW for helping test things with this theme.
* Everyone who's posted on XDA with bits of knowledge especially the Ultimate Android Theming Guide (Jairomeo, Manup456, ArmyRanger251, Stericson, Brandenk, SirMez, Beagz, david1171_) and many others.
Please provide feedback and post any issues it might have here.
Edit: a version for CM 5.0.7-test(x) for Dream/Magic is coming soon too as soon as I build the morph.

Awesome dude. thanks. looks awesome.
Except... that it doesn't work. applied fine, but didn't do anything.
Really? Can anyone else confirm? It was working fine for me and 2 others.
If anyone else has a problem with it not applying I'll look into it and see if maybe the zip I uploaded is bad...

Looks epic, anyway I can get one thats not a metamorph so I can just apply it over my current theme? That would make it awesome
I might be persuaded to do an update.zip method.

Looks good, running with no problems. Love the blue!
Looks good, ran in to 1 problem so far. After it was applied and restarted, I was able to use the camera app, but then when I try to use it again it just goes to a black screen.
Odd.
Did you reboot again after having the issue?
Try killing the camera process with a task manager and opening it again.
Try wiping the dalvik-cache and restarting.
If the issue is persistant Pm me with a logcat while opening camera and I'll see what I can determine.

Ok, this took a lot of work ( at least GTalk did )
I was only able to make this work by reviewing and wonderful work already done by "thebowers" for the "Black N Bold" theme.
This will be released with the new JAR custom update which is being worked on now and offically being ported to Rubix, as Fussion will no longer be supported on the DX.

Excellent! I am a rubiX fan. So - looking forward to it.
Will these work on OTA?
You will need to have root to install GTalk, cause its a system app, but yea they should both work on OTA or any 2.2 build..
Looks awesome, can't wait to see it finalized so I can toss it into my customized TranQ 3.0 build I'm working on.
Sweet. A fine addition to my blacked out DX.
Will the GVoice widget be themed aswell?

No, it is not. I did not want to completely theme Gvoice just release a black version
BTW this is out now. You can find it as part of the JARubix custom update over in the developer section.

where is the update.zip of the files? Cant seem to find
An issue with black Gtalk - not a big one - no mobile indicators shown. The reason looks to be droid_watermark.png - it doesn't show up on black background at all. I'll try to do something with it.
[edit] Ok, did something about it. The files are:
droid_watermark.png
im_contact_icon_android_light.png
im_contact_icon_mobile_light.png
Changed the base color from black to white, left transparency (alpha) the same.
Works wonders.
APK attached.
Please update, for those that miss the feature that was gone:
adb push TalkMod_Mod.apk /system/app/Talk.apk

Gtalk is 1.3, latest; and is posted above by jack_r1.
Works great on my Froyo nook.
i was wondering if anyone has had any fc issues or the server not connecting. seems it doesnt work quite right for me.
If anyone's interested, The Bowers made an updated Google Voice inverted + widgets. Posted it on xda here (transparent too!)

Interesting.. don't know if I am down with the whole umbrella corp thing but I like the direction.
I'm really digging it (always a fan of red and black), and even though I'm not into the game its just a cool logo to use for it. My only thing from the picture (and it might just be the picture quality), but the red looks pretty dark. But I friggin LOVE the notification background.
Looking forward to the finished product though, keep it up!
I'm new to this. How would I get the theme on phone

Nice, the red looks great. Were you planning on changing the status bar icons at some point down the line? Also, there's a pretty decent umbrella bootscreen floating around somewhere, if youre interested, I can try and hunt it down for you (i just need to remember where I saw it)

Looks awesome so far! I love black and red. I agree with lightening up the red a little bit.
The red looks better on the phone. Seems to have gotten a bit muddy from compression on that pic. Color rendering in general seems a bit odd at times on my phone.
Not sure about a flashable zip or metamorph. I find the adb method easiest, so I never bothered with that.
Looks good, might have to give it a try.

I'm gonna flash cm just so I can have this theme
i added a flashable zip to the link in op. that will apply the framework-res.apk, but you still need to apply the cm color xml and adw theme (if desired) manually.
I just get loops. Did full wipe and same thing. I'm on 6.1 rc1

sorry pitmanr2003, i'm still on 6.0 final. the framework apk must have changed. i'll edit the op to make that clear.
i added a flashable zip for the 6.1 rc1, but it's not tested.
very nice look! i'm totally digging the umbrella corp logo and the red divider lines
Which widget is that time and date one? I've seen around but never get a name.

HD2 - MIUI
(Base on HD2 Icons & Look for windows mobile)
This is My very First theme base on the new update release for Miui 11.5 Stable for android, is not completely done yet because i wanna make this theme a little different from others, i just wanna see how many people would like this theme base in the preview images, so i can keep going with the theme.
Im doing this in my spare time ( as a hobby ) so give me some time,i have always love to customize roms themes but just never had the chance too, but now i will , learn from all you evo miui helpers out there , info on xda & my buddy google lol but still learning.
I would love to be a private tester for this Theme! It looks awesome! Just let me know what you need from me.
i will test
Id test out this theme rocks. I have an incredible but it is running the 11.5 edition of MIUI so i'm sure it will work. But like I said count me in.
dude I love the color scheme you got going the icons looks so slick. I would love to test it if you have not filled up with tester. if not cant wait to see this thing in action!

one thing i need help with and hopefully someone can help me is, how or where is the blank template that miui rom adds automatically when u download a new application to the rom, i wanna make a custom template to match the theme,but dont know where is located on the framework.apk or launcher .apk

You're talking about the icon background. Those templates are found in the framework-res.apk in the "drawable-hdpi-finger" folder. They are icon_background.png, icon_border.png, icon_pattern.png and icon_mask.png. You may also want to change icon_shortcut.png and icon_shortcut_arrow.png to fit with your theme. These have to be index color files to properly work.
I would like to test too. Evo running 11.5

With a little work and permission from jabbawalkee I have ported parts of the MattedBlues theme into this ROM. The original MattedBlues can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768848
I would also like to add a thanks and credit to nitsuj17 for some of the images and the dialer. At the time of my original post, I was unaware that some of the pieces I was using were his.
This is in beta as I have not yet gotten everything in it that I want, but it's a good start and usable. As usual take a nandroid backup before you flash anything. I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone while flashing any of this content. That being said, I have had no problems with any of it. It uses all of the dependencies so all of the stock apps should work and anything that has been removed can be added from the Pick-n-Pack ROM.
Here are a few screen shots. They are low res, so the dock icons look especially fuzzy.

I probably should have explained a little more. I only decided to deem it a ROM because I left the apk's in tact. Since it installs apk's and not just the drawables and xml's I couldn't call it a theme. I will probably start a pull on all of that stuff so I can put it out as a theme also, but I have several others I'm working on right now so this was the easier for me. Kinda lazy I know, but if the permissions come in I want to be able to get them put out for the variety for now.
--EDIT
OK, I took the time, not as long as I thought btw, to go ahead and rip out the files that need to be taken out of the ROM to make a theme only version. I will post it in the themes and apps section as soon as it finishes uploading.
i would like to say that some of my images and dialer from the fascinate port are in here ...in addition to the ones in the original

So i just saw this awesome honeycomb theme , over at the samsung forums, and i was wondering if someone could port this to CM7 For our evo's., this has to be one of the best themes out there, very clean and unique.

Eh, does appear to be different. Disregard.
That theme is built on the Samsung framework so things like the lockscreen cannot be ported. I dont know how much of this theme you are hoping to get onto your phone.
I will take a look at it and see what i can do. Will post back in a day or two with my findings. As said above the lockscreen probably cant be ported but i can probably port most of the rest.
Edit: after looking at the origonal thread it looks like this had a lor of custom elements. Before I even atrempt work on this I am going to have to message the creator and talk to them.additionally many of the menus can not be ported as is.
What are people looking for if I do take this ona besides the notification bar and icons and a few other minor pieces not sure it can be done.
dammit, i really like that lock screen, ,how come samsung has the good stuff. Is it impossible to port that lock screen over?
I'm using this one, and its awesome:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943423
The lockscreen is part of the framework, the same way the sense lockscreen is part of the sense framework. You would mainly be able to change images like the status bar and menu items.
