[Theme] Zen Beta Released! 20/07

ok guys here is a theme i have been currently working on and just wanted to know if you guys had any interest in it. it doesn't have a proper name but its code name is Zen. feel free to suggest names and i will choose whichever i think suits it best. The theme is in a alpha stage at the moment as there are still lots of areas i plan on themeing. im also not 100% sure on the dock yet and currently testing ideas for a new one. i hope at least some of you guys are interested .
Edit: A beta of this theme has now been released. It is still a work in progress so expect there to be a few bugs. Get the download from here: http://themes.piratemedia.tv/2010-07-20-zen-theme-for-cm6-rc1-beta/

It's looking nice is saw it in the screenshot section.
you also gonna change the looks of some widgets?

It's looking good so far, why the line across the wallpaper with darker section underneath?

no reason its just the style of the wallpaper im using which was created by daaxix from twitter. i asked someone to provide me with a simple wallpaper i could use with my theme and he responded with this.

It's fine, I just thought it would look cleaner and more natural if it wasn't there

it looks really good, but whats with the giant pokeball? You have to be rooted to install these right?

I like the status bar very much.
Good work, thanks for sharing!!

@everyone updated the OP with another screen

It`s beautiful... I like the status bar very much. It`s posible to make this theme
for Froyo users?.
P.S. Very good work, It`s amazing!. Thanks for share.
P.S.2. What widget are you using for the time and weather?, It`s Beautiful Widgets?. Thanks in advance. (The "Zen" name is a good name, so keep it).

Any chance we can get the status bar in an update.zip or metamorph theme compatible with CM builds? Love the status bar man....great work.

Great work

This is the best theme I have seen since gChrome!
I converted this wallpaper from a Gnome (Ubuntu) wallpaper because I liked it. I set the line up so that the bottom row of icons on the phone lie in the dark region. This allows for a dark and light region, I use the upper light region for a google calendar widget, which makes the text easy to read.

@daixx thanks again for the great wallpaper

Very nice. Love the status bar and white battery icon.

very simple and clean, I'd use it. Keep the name Zen.

Dude, that is an awesome look! You should definitely keep working on it and release it as soon as humanly possible. Great stuff!

I also like the statusbar... looks awesome the way you designed it.

My thread for my CM6.1.2 themes got pretty cluttered since I didn't reserve any posts so hopefully this will allow me to keep things a little more organized. Stay tuned, I'll be updating pretty rapidly as I update my themes for CM7 and add a few tweaks.

Can't wait for the rest! You wouldn't be doing any keyboard theming would u? Say Swiftkey and or Swype?

I'll be theming the stock keyboard in all of them. Don't have any plans to do other ones at this point.

UPDATE
Added Modern and Cubanaso versions of DetoxEvo.​

Midnight looks promising. Hopefully you'll keep the GB style icons (vertical battery)

Midnight was my personal favorite on CM6. I'll definitely consider a version with a vertical GB-style battery once I get everything up to speed.

Yup I see that. Stock k/b looks great. I've only tried Crimson Frost so far but I do have a minor request or maybe it's already there and just isn't working on my Evo. When charging the phone, that battery style I'm used to seeing a charging symbol. Would it be an easy add/fix?

I'll add that to my list of things to do once I get Midnight and ZUNEvo up and running.

Very excited for the Midnight theme!

I remember you being a supporter of my CM6 themes. Glad you're still a fan of my work.

Update
Midnight and Midnight[Modified] are up and running.​

Do you have any plans to make one like Crimson Frost, but with the full blue skinning of the Midnight theme? Like white bar, blue icons, blue round battery meter, etc, and blue/white skinning? That would look hot.

I considered it, but it was a little too "Facebook-y" when I drew up a concept. lol

Work in Progress

ok so here are the new screen shots and what i have changed. still working on icons and which apks to include as i do not want to suffer the same fate as some of those that are being reminded that warez is not aloud. i will pick those that suit it best for everyone. when ready to upload which i hope will not be too much longer. i hope that you guys enjoy it as much as i do. trying to mod all png images for apks that i can is being a little difficult so i will upload screenshots of those when i get them ready.
also if im not able to share at least you have an idea of what im running;-)
to all of you that have stopped in to comment and give feedback i much appreciate it and in hopes when this is ready and i am able to upload, you let me know what you think. Thanks again

Maybe white text color in the notofications drop down menu. Its a bit hard to see when black.
Other than that it looks really good

Thanks for stopping and taking the time to comment. As i said its a work in progress. second its personal preference and nothing is in stone yet. so color choice really hasn't been decided. and i know alot of people that dig blue and would be happy to have it. thanks again for stopping in to comment though. i appreciate it and will do what mods i can.

Thank you for your feedback, white is exactly what i am thinking to put in the status bar and in the drop down. however, with the cyanogen mod settings installed, this can be done through there.
yet i dont want this to be just for a cyanogen settings phone. im looking into making it an available option for all 2.2 versions.

Black and purple just don't match up on the first SS.
Secondly the status bar is rarely ugly, all people will rather prefer just a colour (Black,white,blue etc)
Third the icon with all blue is not nice.

work in progress..... nothing set in stone yet, feedback is always appreciated. blue icons look great i think. if people hadnt already went ds with their themes already i would have a chance at one. however im workin with a variety but still trying to keep simple. work in progress. new screen shots coming soon to show the changes.

Way to go mate, it's a guttsy color scheme not my thing though. Purple and blacks like green on red, hard to read. I suggest keeping it simple, gentle but sharp.. I'll be way watching

appreciate your feedback. most polite one besides second post. i have modified it a little more and have gotten rid of the colors and went mor simple as people have suggested. status bar is now blue and drop down bar is no black and blue. and drop down bacground is a lot easier to read. new screen shots coming soon.

keep on going!!
suggestion u should try making light color....looks more pure...just a suggestion......keep up a good work!

new screen shots have been posted. hope its a little more to everyones liking as for what i have done. still modding pngs and what not. still have a little work to do on status bar icons. should have more done this weekend and ready to post on monday.

emm i think u should try lighter blue....like the color of the sea...sky or something like that if u want to go with blue...but i think is great....soon u will make a fine theme....also for the notification bar normally people would like white as a font because it is easy to read because of the background color....so if u stick with blue try make a light one...because it easy to contrast between the font and the background...anyway good luck dude....will follow ur progress...keep it up!!later u can make a theme with ur eyes close....haha....joking...

android 2.3?
how did u manage to get so many points in quadrant?)
btw - really unfortunate colors u've choses 4 ur theme (sry for my eng)

Need to say, Didn't like the theme at all, it's very simple with not good color scheme, but that score is AMAZING.

All themes should be unique, if the blue was slightly muted then it would be more appealing. But changing the density to 190 would make it aesthetically pleasing too... To be honest, the whole point of android os is the ability to create something unique, so well done

thanks for your comments. actually i did have a lighter blue at one time but didnt think that it really looked all that good, and really didnt go with the colors of the bee in wallpaper image. as im sure most users want there own wallpaper or background compared to using the one that is included with the package.
however, at the same time, there are those of us users who want everything we need and nothing we dont. meaning why add something or take something away if you really dont need to? i personally dont care for a large display of colors so keeping at least one color and having the rest black is suitable. so if all icons are black and blue. or black and green or black and yellow( yes pun intended if your heard this song). also the lesser value of bright colors means you dont have alot of bright screen when you dont need it.
my thoughts anyway

android 2.2 scores like this come from a multitude of things. the greatness of zdzihu for his 2.2b4, data2sd, xrecovery.
Sysctl
as for the color scheme. i notice there are alot of you out there that really dont care for it. and as i find this really hard to believe, wow! i like most themes that ive seen out there and am really impressed with all the work that was done to them. even though i dont care to use some of theme. as i didnt care for the status bar icons or in which color it was set. mainly the 2.2 white task bar. that drives me nuts!
feedback is always appreciated and am happy that you are one of the few people to stop in and read and comment shows that something might have caught your eye and you wanted to see where it goes. so that is appreciated as well.

i appreciate your view on "unique". to which if everyone wanted to really personalize their phone. they wouldnt want to try out what everyone, or anyone else has.
my first creation was black, purple and blue in some artistic paint splash decor for the statur bar and dropdown. it was nice for me other than not seeing the clock.
as changing the blue ill look into the density and take your suggestion into consideration.
for those that really dont like the clock, i like minium color as i use my device more at night and really dont care to put off a glow when using it. i like to see my device and not let everyone else see it.
especially when driving. i dont like a bright screen poopping in my face. i like something that just lights up with the perfect ambient light needed so im not too distracted.

Mods, please delete. as i have stopped working on this theme for now. this Thread is no longer needed. Thank you;-)

2720 in quadrant ? Respect
I would change the colour in the statusbar. Maybe a bit transparency would be nice And the pink text should be white or sth like that But all in all a good start
Sorry for my bad english

[REQUEST] Bruins Gold Colored CM7 Theme

Doe anyone know of any Boston Bruin's Gold colored CM7 themes? Would anyone be willing to make one?
Thanks!

Ok so the exact color of the gold/yellow is "ffc422"
shown here: http://www.colourlovers.com/color/FFC422/Amarelao
What I'm looking for is a theme that has that color in places like the battery, wifi, cell strength, vibrate, silent, sound icons (etc), and when a user presses a button, that color is what will be highlighted. And the keyboard would be awesome. So something like this (see screenshots).
So basically, most everything that is in a normal theme, just in the bruins color (ffc422).
If I'm asking for too much, I'm sorry. I have no idea if making a theme is time consuming, or if its just a matter of plugging in a different color.
Thanks!

I know nothing about theming. I do know it is very time consuming. That being said....I am the biggest Bruins fan on the planet and would donate generously for a nice Bruins theme

I almost made one for sky raider but ran out of time. I have not built anything for cm7 before. I have a nice wall paper thatni can upload when I get back to a pc.

Poll Theme Colors for 3.2

I currently have 6 themes for 3.1. Dark Blue, Light Blue, Green, Red, Orange, and Gold. When 3.2 drops I am not sure if I want to keep all of these themes so I am doing this poll to find out what colors I should keep.

I vote for Gold! BTW after I flashed Roach's 1.6 then flash the previous Gold theme, I went into a boot loop. Had to, sadly, back out of the theme. Any chance that theme will be updated for 1.6? Or should I have done something differently? (Flashed 1.6, then Netformer 1.5, wiped Dalvik, then the theme)
Thanks. Love your work.

I have not released any color other than DB for 1.6 so far. I was debating on if I was going to do any other colors. As you have asked for the Gold I will do that one tonight.

Excellent! Look forward to that. Thanks again.

TBH I have 6 themes...I have not had any request for any of my themes...people have complained that they are ugly and I need to redo them. So I am not even sure if I will continue sharing my work.

Chin up, Hatman. People seldom appreciate what others do for them. Am I cynical? Yeah. Over the years I've tried to find satisfaction from just doing things I enjoy...if others (or perhaps just one person) shares that enthusiasm then it's all good. As a PA, most of what I do is never noticed by patients or staff but I take pleasure in a job well done...or at least try to.
FWIW you have a fan here!

I wonder how long before 3.2 drops. It is alot of work redoing the frameworks...also....what do you all think of the digital battery icon? I am thinking of just including that in all the themes instead of the default one. I might add the circular one as a addon but I am not going to change the circular one to different colors. That is WAYYY to much work.

I'm kind of on the fence on the icon. I use a circle widget on my DroidX and the dual battery widget on the TF. One thinks that with all that doing a theme entails certain concessions must be made. And given that 3.2 should not be too far in the future being a bit forward thinking and waiting to do "full-blown" work might be prudent?
That said, the circular adds a numerical indicator missing in the standard icon but its color is not "mission-critical" in my opinion given the overall appeal of the theme.

Red would be awesome as ive been missing it since 1.5, figured it might be a good idea to wait until a final 3.2 to be released before any themes are made anyway. Keep up the good work, forget the haters that criticize without any input as to how they think the theme can be changed.
