[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.

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.

Me likeeeey

What would you guys like Jonnybueno to theme next?

Many of you have been very generous, so I'd like to get some input on what you guys want me to work on next...
I'm not really to excited about porting other peoples work... but if you guys really want something, i can.
To-Do
CM6 Red Theme - framework
-Themed apps, stock icons​-Themed apps, themed icons​
Make more red sense icons

sense sucks(except for some of the widgets) so dont worry about doing anything w/ sense...as much red as we can get for cm6 would be great...i would try to do some stuff w/ the status bar like changing the 3g/wifi icons, the time, also i like that battery icon that was on your other red customization (the circular red one)...just a few suggestions, i will try to think of some more...thanks dude, your stuff is badass!

I'd like to see red or maybe even yellow for the sky raider rom. I actually like sense just don't like how the launcher looks on it. Anything would be appreciated though. Thanks for the themes and keep up the good work

You Rock!
jb you are theming everything. I want to thank you for everything. What about putting together a sense 2.2 theme (red)?

I'm kinda leaning toward theming that Rom... 2.2 with sense is pretty nice, plus I don't see issues with cm6 getting fixed anytime soon. Im so torn between the two roms, cm has trackball wake and customization for long pressing the home button but the new 2.2 rom has internal storage and may have a working camera soon.
I should've put a little more thought into that poll... opinions anyone?

I think you should work on the most functional roms first. That way your time won't go to waste, you'd be theming a Rom that no ones going to be using. Thinking you should really go with sky raider for now.
And I agree about the launcher on sense its the main reason I don't use sense ui. Wait till a real stable cm 6 comes out then make a bada** theme for it.. ill get your kid some nice power rangers if u do!

Thanks for your hard work, Great themes!

Definitely Blue/Red for CM 6.
I think as the bugs are worked out over the next couple (few?) weeks, a lot of people will be moving over to Cyanogen.
Also, thanks for your hard work.

DarchDroid
I would love a DarchDroid like theme, black/silver.

How about a pink or purple theme, similar to your red/blue themes?

My room?
I'll be getting CM6 as soon as the bugs are worked out and it would be great to have a red theme for that.

+1 to red CM6...Cyanogenmod's gonna be HOTTT!! Verizon made the highlights red, so its only fitting...Dark status bar with a transparent window!

Sorry for my absence, I am finally feeling healthy. Looks like it's gonna be red for CM-6. I'm starting a to-do list on the op so i can prioritize, so if you want any of those custom icons please remind me...
I recall that someone asked about handcent and pandora...
Also, I need three testers who can thoroughly test these cm themes... I need people who have great attention to detail and a lot of time. PM me if you can meet those qualifications.

Cm red theme is coming along nicely....

What are the chances you could package a red themed NexusMod live wallpaper with your red theme? In particular the wallpaper from the droid. That would be sick, and I can't find the damn wallpaper anyway.

Yeah id like neural network too. Or maybe ask koush to port it? He's the one that got the nexus wallpaper working on the Droid months ago, it never loaded until he came along.

My girlfriend would freak if you could make an all purple theme and I told her I would but it wouldn't get done until the next major android update comes out. She saw this thread and begged me to post to ask you. Thanks.

Chances are slim, unless you can get me the source code for it... then i may be able to hack it, but that would take me forever since i have no skills
Of course, if you use CM roms nexus mod is included.

[Morph] Car Battery Icon v2.0 (Reg.+ Blue) [updated 8/4/10]

Heres a little something I whipped up quickly as I'm learning how to theme through Metamorph. Basically this morph will turn your standard battery icon into a block style car battery one, and give you a new low battery message image.
As this is my very first attempt at any sort of theming, BE SURE TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP. I dont want to screw up your phone, and cant be held responsible for any damage done. If you apply this, you take a risk that it could break things.
That being said I have this running currently on CM 6 with a Nexus with no issues. Let me know how it goes for you guys.
*These versions meant for white/light colored notification bars*

Here are the "terminal-less" versions, same basic thing, just no nubs on top and larger.

you talking like a cyan type blue or regular? Let me know and i'll have it up tomorrow.

Really nice looking, great concept!
But, i think it woould look cooler if you kept the square idea, but didnt make it a battery (no prongs). That would be awesome

[THEME] PurpleMotif - an EVO theme for Sense and CM ***UPDATED 1/15/11***

PurpleMotif v2
Hey everyone This theme is a complete "re-colorization" of the popular MattedBlues theme by jabbawalkee. I take ZERO credit for any and all custom graphics you find in the theme. Jabbawalkee originally created this theme. All I did was change the color from blue to purple. It's possible you'll find some graphic anomolies. If you do, please be kind and leave some feedback for me. I tried my best to make sure things were in working order before posting it here but I'm human and I'll keep working on this as time permits.
Quick FAQ:
How do I install this? Flash it via recovery.
Which recovery do I use to flash this? I only use Amon_RA Recovery, v1.8.0.1. Give that a shot if you are running into problems using Clockwork.
Will this work with CM 6.1.2 ROM? YES!
What font is that? Ubuntu. It can be found at this thread.
Have a ETA for <insert reason here>? Absolutely not. We're all busy and the last thing I need is to let anyone down.
Which lockscreen does this theme come with by default? It works with whatever lockscreen you're currently using. The Vanilla lockscreen screenshot you see is because I ripped Sense out of the ROM I was using when I was working on this, primarily to show that the theme worked with the Vanilla lockscreen too. I should've posted a screenie with the HTC lockscreen but oh well So, again, if you're using the HTC lockscreen it'll work with the HTC lockscreen. If you're using a Vanilla lockscreen it'll work with the Vanilla lockscreen.
I hope you like this!

This looks awesome; however, purple is my mother-in-law's favorite color and she wears it every day. I can't flash this and think about my mother-in-law every time I get a text message or check the time. I'll go nuts. lol
Good work, though!

Very nice but is there anyway you can make an alternate one with the Stock HTC Lockscreen or maybe a flashable Zip? Don't know how to do the ADB stuff. I don't like the Vanilla Lock Screen very much and would appreciate your help. I have been waiting for a nice plain purple theme for awhile. Thank you for your work.
FYI...I'm on my husband's login browsing and posting...lol

Actually, if you flash the theme as it is it will default to whatever lockscreen you're currently using I should make a note about that in the OP. I'll do that right now. Just flash away and have a nice day. You won't have to do anything else except flash it and it will not force your lockscreen to one or the other.
Hope you like it!

Can you change this notification bar?
I flashed your theme and ITS SO CUTE...lol but the notification bar is a little plain and manly. I was wondering if you can change this notification bar so that when I flash it it doesn't change the color scheme? I actually flashed this file and it change almost everything to Green....boooooo!! I love this purple and like the other ladies mentioned...pink would be nice. This bar has the little neon Andy guy in the right corner, its from the Fresh 3.3.0.1 ROM

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.
