hey does anyone know if there is a good theme out for the Beautiful Home widget to make it have that Droid x/2 motoblur theme? i cant find anything that really fits in with my home screen, and if there is no such thing can someone make one for me if they know how to ? thanks
HA, i would say 90% of everyone comes here to get away from the moto blur.
Your gonna have a long road ahead of you trying to stick with that "theme".
That being said, to answer your question. No, I dont think there is one. Scrolling the whole list in BW clock skins and lots of google searches is what your in for my friend.
Everyone seemes to hate blur. I dont have my X yet But from what ive seen i dont mind the way the way it looks. But also from what i have heard and the fact that ive already purchased launcher pro plus when i had my captivate i will be using that instead of the stock launcher coupled with beatiful widgets will be awesome but a theme like this could be cool
Is there a rom for the Captivate that will give it the look and feel of an HTC rom and if there is could you give me the names and how stable they are?
You might want to research the ROM Dev subforum. Look for something with Sense in it.
You said "look" so I assume you aren't talking functionality, you're talking the clock. Get Fancy Widget Pro, then grab the H7C skin.
You can find the wallpapers and clocks everywhere.
As far as icons and such you can find at least one Sense-like theme in the Theme section (make sure you're using a compatible ROM).

x2 - I have the flip clock on fancy widget and it resembles the HTC.
Check out the different versions of the Sense Analog Clock. I'm using the Dark version and I love it.

I agree, fancy widget is the way to go unless the op wants the HTC dock, too . . .
i dont know if that question belong here .. but its been in my head for long and i seriously was looking for answers.
how do miui launcher (i am talking about the launcher included in miui roms) icons look so pretty and clean whereas same icons on any other launcher are a bit small and seems to be less appealing?
has anyone elc noticed this? or is this just in my head?
and i think if cyanogen mod changes the android settings menu a bit , making it more eye catching, i would love cm more
MIUI launcher has a larger icon size than other launchers, making the icons look better. MIUI just looks sharper in general, in my opinion. It makes CM7 look kind of dull and washed out.

I mainly like ics but it is too dark and not hapy like gingerbread. gbread is bright and happy looking if we could change that ics would be a whole lot better

Is Dark, but beautiful, it's simple, and follow a line. in GB, everything was coloful, but weird. I liked a lot more ICS than GB.
ics is nice but wouldent you like a little more color in it
Nope. Even my wallpapers black n' blue
What actually annoys me is how some of the stock icons/apps are brightly coloured (people, messages, etc).
I kind of agree I've played with ICS and like the feel of GB better, maybe it's because I am so used to GB and have not gotten used to ICS. But its darker and more mysterious I do kind of like that. But bright and happy wallpapers don't really fit the dark ominous blue theme of ICS
I just don't like the shade of blue they used, it seems overused.

Personally I think ICS looks terrible. Its ripped off from old 80's sci-movie computer panels. I mean, I love Tron, its brilliant, but doesnt work so well on a device when you have seen something like MiUI bring out the best in Android. Now that looks stylish and professional. Where ICS looks like its supposed to appeal to geeks and teens only. I am a certified geek, but I just cant get to liking the looks of ICS

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm glad i'm not the only one that feels this way. Sometimes with Android it's like you get a peek behind the curtain, and what you see is a Smartphone OS that's made by tweens, for tweens.
Yes, the Googlers are some of the most able people in the tech world, but sometimes it feels like they lack maturity. Certain aspects of their work needs more thought, more polish. Everything is 95% there and then left incomplete, as if in a fit of ADHD they moved on to the next project and forgot all about the previous one.
I think it's the usual paradigm. Coders do not make good Designers. What i'd like to see is a universal Theme Engine included in the OS itself. Much like the T-Mobile one included in CM7, but created by Google. Every device, whether Vanilla Android, or OEM Skinned, should come with a selection of Themes that work with that common engine. Sense/Touchwiz/Vanilla would all just be Themes for users to choose between.
Of course, Google half-arsed it again and didn't even consider Theme support when creating Android. Even Windows Mobile had Theme support going way back. It even had a Selection Pane for choosing between them. Why is technology going backwards in this regard?
Beauty of Android, don't like the look, change it

I actually LOVE the new look. Its simple,elegant,consistent and much more polished. IMO the whole Android experience/"feel" had been revamped to the better , lets hope OEMs dont mess this up with their skins.
Plus is uses less battery on the Amoled displays, because of all the black!
I like it a lot, but I must say that my phone looks the rather the same as before, and Samsung allready used a lot of black for their own TW skin (think because of the Amoled display)
It's worth noting that the Galaxy nexus is the only device that will see the Holo theme. All the others will be skinned in the normal manufacturer colour schemes.
And i never thought i'd see the day when i would say that's a good thing!

Although Android did publish a design website to help developers/designers follow the new Holo theme that ICS brought along. They are also encouriging OEMs to follow these guidlines when designing all those skins, so that Android would mantain a certain touch and feel throughout different devices!
Personally Id love to see that happen. Diversity is a great thing, but I do think certain UI elements need to look the same across all devices. But then again , Android is open source and OEMs can choose not to follow anything and come up with a whole new UI .
I love the new look, i like dark styles anyway, and i think it looks really smart and like some have already said, change it if you dont like it
i like ics because it gives a lot of a abstract feel and the dark tone feels like it save more battery. however a lot of ics theme is blue, i read somewhere that from RED-GREEN-BLUE, the colour tone BLUE uses more battery compare to the rest.

The holo theme is to be used inside of apps to create the consistent feel. It has nothing to with sense, touchwiz etc. When you press a menu button inside of an app, google wants a consistent response with no crazy surprises. When you open an app, it looks the same on all devices no matter what the manufacturer UI is....

Just because they want it, doesn't mean anybody will comply! If you were creating an app would you use your design ideas, or theirs?
i really need to learn how to code and make things for android lol
Gingerbread was dark and dull and boring, ICS is dark, but sexy and clean. Froyo was bright and happy but Froyo is almost obsolete now.
Android in the pre-ICS era was inconsistent and all over the place, design-wise. It was about time it looked like a "whole" OS and not something 100 different people quickly put together.

They have released several new themes for the crack priced launcher if you are one of the ones who like it. You would think the damn themes would be friggin free since the launcher itself is so dang pricey but oh well, who am I to argue with extortion?
It has certainly made some big improvements recently.

I'm a user and fan of android since the begin, and tsf is for me the best launcher ever.
I'm desapointed that's so expensive and Many people will never used it to see how it's cool.
