I'm kinda curious to see how a Google TV-like theme would look on CM6.1 -- I think it'd look awesome and Gingerbread probably has some similarities so it'd be a good theme to hold some of us over 'till CM gets to it. I'm pretty good at the graphic design thing but am always loaded with work so I usually start something on my free time and never finish...
Anyway, what I'm thinking is that I could make all the graphics files, I'd then pass it on to some one who can adjust the XML (pretty much only changing black text to white). I've done some detailed XML (spacing, color, etc) stuff before but it'd just give me a headache to go back into (trying to fix Sense's complete and utter fail at design does that to you...). I want to finish this over the weekend so it'd have to be someone who has experience and knowledge of a lot of the XML values (menus, pop ups, status bar, etc). If anyone is able and interested, just leave a reply.
The theme itself should be pretty easy to make, it'd look stock but dark w/ blue glow-ish highlights. For examples:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Some examples of my Android-y work to judge if its worth helping me:
Complete radio app remake. Will probably release soon.
Swype, part of a Sense face lift theme I was making before I moved to CM.
Just the dock and icons.
There is already an alternate themed skype found in tmobile's mytouch4g using a variant of htc sense. Although nice work there : )

I came over to the Android world from the Touch Pro 2 like I'm sure many here did. I spent a lot of time on PPCgeeks.com and have contributed a lot on that site in the way of the TP2.
Now with the Incredible, XDA has became my favorite site for phone and I hope to contribute to the Android world from here.
One of my favorite themes was the Dusk Theme by xda user grzegorz10. He does some beautiful work and in my opinion it is second to none.
I am working on a few things for the Android world that will possibly bring some of this to the Incredible.
Here is a start, it's not perfect yet but I am pretty happy with the way it is coming along...
I give you the Dusk Clock!

}
And the widget preview image when adding it to your home screens.
I don't know how far I will take this, probably just a piece at a time. I don't really have the time to do a complete ROM, that and the fact that learning where all of the different files are is a whole new ball game compared to Window Mobile operating system.
As for right now the phone has to be rooted and you have to push the files using adb. In the future there will probably be a better way of doing this but for now that's about it.
If anyone is interested in this, when I get it completed I will post the apk and instructions for getting it on your phone.
gadget!
Wow...bringing me back! Greg made a sick Dusk theme, nice to see this on Sense and not Manila
Nice job.
Whoa.
Dude it is badass.. when can I get this..
Looks great. Takes me back to the days of Manilla

any update on when we can use this bad boy!?
Hey everyone just wanted to share my 2nd battery replacement.
**BEFORE FLASHING, Backup using Nandroid backup. I am not responsible for any damage to your phone. This will also replace any current "custom" icons on taskbar (not transparency if you have that) trying to figure out MetaMorph so i doesn't replace anything but the battery. Until then, this will have to do. >.<**

What it looks like after flashing:
Also replaced the low battery image with my own. I always thought it looked weird... talk about picky. I think it looks better.
Download links:
- Clean (no Border)
- With Border
Tell me what you think.
It looks pretty good, i'm impressed
I like it.
Downloading now and thank you!
Very nice!!!!!
Looks nice, man. Why did you choose purple? Just asking because I'm curious.
Definitely Nice
Thanks for sharing Novafox! Very nice work. Any chance you could reproduce with vertical bars matching the signal strength meter? ie Exactly like you have everything else just instead of one colored blob, add some black space to create a meter like the signal level.
Anyway, thanks again, this is very cool. About to install...

very nice !! tyvm

Thanks everyone. I do have more ideas, just takes a little bit of time to "perfect them" to liking.

I believe it was SkyFire
I think there may be something like this for windows phones? Anyway, would really like a little analog clock in the status bar instead of the digital readout. It's actually nice to know the time when surfing the web, tweeting, etc. but the digital clock is out of place with a circle status bar icon theme. I've attached a picture to help with the visual.
Anybody interested in making this I would be willing to donate my time and/or money in helping to make this possible. May involve making a million .png files, but I do not know. Would like to see if there is any other interest in this/if it's even a possibility (I have not seen anything). I think It would look pretty slick!

Agreed. That would look nice. I think it would take a bit of coding though. Over my head. Those round icons do look nice. Where did you get those from?
the Ultimate Online Theming Kitchen. just google it, it should come up as the first hit. Pretty awesome kitchen and super easy to use.
something like this should be possible:
lower the clock font, and put those brackets on the titlebar background. I would change the batt icon too. standard measure would be easiest. you still have exact percentage on desktop.
that does look pretty good, thanks for putting that together. Deff gonna mod the batt like that.
My request still stands though, I want a 2 hands turning circles in the top right corner!
Here are some custom buttons I made for the Transformer. They are basically metro style, with a honeycomb shape instead of a circle. This was something I did just to see if I had the ability. If I find the time, I might expand this into a full theme.
****Please don't use my buttons/icons in other themes/ROMs, etc. without at least asking, I worked hard on them ****
Flash through CWR. This uses the villain theme system, so it should be compatible with all 3.x ROMS. It worked on both mine and my girlfriends TF, so it should work for you.
DISCLAIMER: I can confirm this worked on the two Transformers in my possession. I take no responsibility if you somehow bork your device while flashing this. Make a backup before flashing, just to be safe.
***THESE ARE ONLY BUTTONS. NOTHING ELSE IS THEMED***

Funny you should mention this, I was planning on asking permission to use this in my theme .
I have been working on some new additions. I have a whole new appreciation for how much work goes into the creation of one little icon.
Here is a pic of what I have going on in the notification area, so far. I am particularly proud of the Micro SD eject button .
Very nice indeed!!! Good Job!!!
Hello. First, let me talk about my obcessin for this wonderfull piece of magic called Honeycomb Launcher..
IMO it was the coolest launcher ever made by google, with that 'APPS' and ' + ' button at top, dizzy :silly: animations to change wallpaper and enter in the app-drawer.
So I started a project, to port it for our Notes ^---^
I grabbed a 'launcher2.apk' from my xoom 3.2.1 honeycomb stock room and decompiled it without dependencies.
I'm having a hard timing figuring how to port it, just because I know nothing about this. But every help will be apreciated.
When i arrive at home I'll provide some screenshots and files that I'm using. :highfive:
'Launcher2.apk' itself from my old rom will not install itself. If you force it on sys folder on note, you'll see that it is listed as a Launcher in Home chooser, but when you try to open it, it'll force close in your face.
Every little piece of help will be apreciated, and if someone, by a miracle, wants to do the job, it'll be blessed by my 'thanks' in every single action in their life.
So, albeit I'm in my job, I'll post some screenshots of HC launcher from stock rom. It looks like this, and this, and this :good:
