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.

[THEME] Black and Blue v2 (Updated 5/9/10 with MT3G Rosie)

This is the updated version of the Black and Blue theme I did a while back. There are some significant improvements IMO. I built this off of Fresh 2.0d so it should work on all Sprint ROMs. Its also built on the Desire Rosie port so LWP run right out of the box, but does not include the OpenGL hack that disrupts everything else. I just started liking my weather animations again.
Thanks go to Flipz, tristan202, vinceob, jschisurf, Konikub, drpfhenderson, nebrada, atoz350, and myshyak. If you think I left you out, PM me.

-If you dont know by now, I like blue. There is blue everywhere in this theme. Including in the icons, .apks, and widgets. Well, except for the Clock Widget, I made that black. If you dont like blue, DONT DOWNLOAD THIS!
-Included is Konikub's raised dialer. It serves as the base and as the in-call dialer. I personally use and love Dialer One. Its got a ****load of options, and was made by a fellow xda'er myshyak. Im attaching a blue themed version if you want to use it also, but it is not included just in case somebody doesnt want it. Here's a screen shot:
Hope you guys enjoy it! If there are any issues, please post them and i will try and help you fix them. As always, I am not responsible for your Hero. I assume no liablity for you flashing this.
Updated:-- Here are some updated .apks. There is an updated Market for everybody so that it doesnt keep turning green. I also included a black xda keyboard with blue errything, and a updated Browser.apk with a new icon and blue frameworks.
Update #2:--I ported JschiSurf's MT3G Rosie to work with this theme. Below is a screenshot, where the center button is now the app drawer, left is phone, and right is contacts. Just push the attached Rosie.apk to system/app.(EDIT-I only tested this on the Chopped Rosie. I have no idea what'll do on the other 2 versions. I mean, it'll totally work right, I just dont know how it will present visually)

The Dialer One only comes up when you press the Phone button on the home screen, and when receiving calls. It also has a **** ton of other options built into it, and is totally customizable. But if you press the phone icon in your app drawer, the HTC dialer comes up(which is what I used Koni's raised dialer for).
I wouldnt mind if you used it in any of your ROMS at all, I know that you would give me my props. And, I just wanna say sorry about your job, but I like this newly proactive fixxxer infinitely more than your past incarnations. Keep it up!

Re: [THEME] Black and Blue v2(4/28/10)
love this theme but I do have a small issue with the font. it's. just a hair too big. do you have the ability to shrink it maybe 1point?
Any idea what is causing this besides font size?

Looks awesome as do all of ur themes ... would love to see how the clock widget looks with like a indiglow blue for the numbers .... I think that might sharpen up the clock alittle and give this blue and black theme alittle more blue heehee.

No, thats the font. Its the same thing that happens with the font from the original Darkstar theme. It doenst bother me cause I guess Im used to it. Heres a zip to restore back to the original font.

Note:
Those of you familiar with my smooth theme will not see much of a difference from the last one I did for ZenEXP 0.9.4. This is a complete port of my theme to the latest Zen ROM. At this point, whatever ROM I am using will get this theme ported to it. The biggest update to the theme is the widgets, pictured below.
Widgets
Known issues:
The other widgets that use the HTC ActionBar (the two or three buttons that hang off of the mail widget, etc.) will have clear backgrounds. There was no way I could figure out how to separate the mail widget from com.htc.resources
Landscape works for all widgets, but on some of them, the header text is distorted or not centered
I can't figure our how to remove the background from the bookmark list widget
The popup in the browser will be black with black text
Still to do:
There seems to be a character limit on the mail widget. Now that it is larger, I am trying to figure out how to show more text
Modify the Messaging widget
Modify my master widget (power control / weather / scoreboard / genie) to match this format
I'm not even using all the widgets that I modified, but figured some people might. If you want me to look at additional widgets that will match this format, I'd be willing to entertain any requests
Continue to modify the mail widget in landscape
I'd still like to figure out the people widget
I will also be making a mail widget that looks like TF3d
Note:
The clock shown in the screenshots is Beautiful Widgets. This theme will not affect the stock HTC flipclock. (I'll always use BW because it updates the time behind a clear lockscreen). Also, the clear lockscreen mod is not included because it breaks the theme apk. Once someone comes out with a clear lockscreen for ZenEXP, I'll add it back in. Also, this will overwrite the stock theme (Nest) and can't be applied through the built-in theme app.
The Friendstream, News, Calendar and Bookmark widgets may work on other ROMS, I haven't tested. I tried to make them independent of the com.htc.resources apk. As mentioned above, the mail widget depends on the com.htc.resources apk so it will look different on other ROMS but may still work.

Many thanks to all the helpful people in this forum. Special thanks to FlipZ, Stericson, damnitpud, Godzson, JsChiSurf, Nebenezer for their hard work, Zenulator and Zippy for the awesome ROM and Brut for the awesome apktool.
Lastly, thanks to NRG for the visual inspirations...

care to share your wallpaper? The transparency is not woking for me on most of mine, unless I use a plain background. The bit of NRGZ blue looks good on that leather.

I'm too busy right now to port it and unfortunately, the theme runs deeper than just png's. I just posted a completed update.zip for ZenEXP 0.9.6OC. All you would have to do is flash 0.9.6OC then flash my update.zip over it. Very easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7108984
As for Metamorph, I was carrying MM for all my themes, but have stopped because I prefer pushing. Check out the Miscellaneous Themes link in my sig for those.

This has been known to work very well on ZenEXP 0.9.7d. For the deodexed version only. What you can expect from this update.zip (If you have Analog Clock or Fancy Widgets installed, make sure you uninstall prior to applying this update.zip):
This will not change the workspace cell size. I wanted to make this update more universal and if I change the cell sizes, it screws up other widgets. If you want to do it yourself, refer to my tutorial regarding this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697994)
Themed HTC Clock per EnergyROM
Themed split clock per EnergyROM and CHT (Analog clock on left / Fancy clock on right)
Themed HTC Calendar Agenda / fits entire screen
Themed HTC Rosie Launcher bar
Themed HTC Friend Stream widget per EnergyROM / fits entire screen
Themed HTC Bookmark widget / fits entire screen
Themed HTC Messages widget / added title
Themed HTC Mail widget / added title / moved mail count to upper right
Themed status bar / updated font to Arial for entire system / clear backgrounds from all (hopefully) status bar icons
Themed XDA HTC_IME / themed phone dialer / themed slider bar
5 column HTC Rosie launcher Not now, it's causing problems / This Rosie does not rotate 270 degrees (portrait only)
Themed weather and music / Both weather and music work in landscape
Themed HTC News Reader widget (not shown) / similar to the Friend Stream widget
Some more screenies:
BTW, way too many people to thank! All the usual suspects, I guess.
Download the update.zip
Lastly, if you get a boot loop or 100% wake time, re-flash the update.zip. If that doesn't work, let me know. And, if you ever get a Force Close popup message that has a "Wait" button, push the wait button.
Wallpaper, if you want it. Thanks to someone in the Diamond forums? I'm sorry, but I really don't remember.

Yeah, sorry. 0.9.6 is running so good for me right now, plus I couldn't resolve a couple odex files. Please let me know the results as I need a working phone for a couple weeks, otherwise I'd test it myself.

I dont know why but none of my widgets are resizing right...

very similar to signals theme. but also different in their own ways nice work signal! I just wish I could use this theme along side the other expresso themes for Zen like it was another one of them. But oh well .

That Windowblind theme is awesome. I'll post a quick tutorial on how to change the size of non-HTC widgets. It's actually pretty easy too.
I wish I could apply it like the slide themes, but it runs too deep.

It's the Google Genie Widget. The one that let's you select News / Weather / or News & Weather together.

I just got permission from Zen to post a link to 0.9.6OC. It's uploading now. I will post the link here and over in the ZenEXP ROM thread.

I'm jumping ROM's right now. I'll let you know where I end up, because this theme may follow. Then again, I may just be theming LauncherPro right now.

Don't flash this over ZenEXP 0.9.7 until I get a chance to port it.

Ported the theme to ZenEXP 0.9.7d. Grab the new update.zip in the OP.

Hmm, well, definitely have to apply to deodexed only. Is this after a fresh ROM install? Anyone else having issues? Can you send me a logcat?

[THEME] Elegant Steel for Nexus One CM6.0.0-FINAL (seperate RC3 Version)

*DELETED"

holy freaking crap. i've been waiting for this. glad to see it. i'll back-up and flash tomorrow morning. looks great

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:

Thats nice, but I wanted to use these icons http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757489

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).
