Windows Phone 7 Theme v2.0 Beta
Title says it all.
I just made this to see if there was any interest in this, it's still a work in progress. If there is enough interest in this I will also expand the theme.
This is a simplistic theme, using no glow, no transparency, no bevel effects and no, colours. Also this uses my own pathed versions of Windows Phone 7 buttons and iconography and everything is designed to fit a styleguide.
This theme is compatible with any and all honeycomb devices or ROMs.
Theme includes:
Segoe WP fonts
Some custom launcher icons (still adding more)
Custom WP 7 icons for the nav bar
Custom WP7 notification icons
Framework modifications
Requirements:
CWM
Busybox
Instructions:
Flash the .zip file through CWM
????
PROFIT!
Future changes:
If there's enough interest I'll continue this project and expand the theme.
Fix the up/downstream logo's
make more icons
possibly change the clock font colour
possibly change some apps
and I'll probably think of more things when I get to it.

Well I'll be working to try and integrate more of the WP 7 feel into this then
Sadly this is the first time I've done a theme so I'm learning as I go along.
I really like the simple style of windows phone 7 and the metro design principles so I'll take this as far as I can.

Have you seen the windows 8 UI? It would be cool to do the metro UI style left to right

Much nicer than stock but can you make one with default wifi logo? The big white logo is distracting and cant really notice the down/up bars, thanks.

I THINK this one doesn't have the wifi and BT logo's http://www.mediafire.com/?w87speteiykwfzw (older version), if it does tell me and I'll just rezip a version without them.
Also by up/down bars you mean how it changes as the signal strengthens/weakens? Or do you mean the data stream icons since I need to fix those anyhow.
Also would the wifi logo be okay if the bluetooth and wifi logo were smaller?
By the way my versioning logic will be this: If I don't add icons I'm not going to go up a version, so changing existing icons wont reflect in the version of the release.
EDIT: Changed the wifi icon in the release to show signal strength better.
1.2 up with a ton of more icons and a modified framework.
wow, liking this alot! The matching icons really do make a difference. Looking forward to the next additions.
Edit: just realised that the bottom icons (back, home, window and menu) do not give the glow feedback the standard icons do when pressed. Only noticed this because I tend to test these buttons to see if the transformer has frozen. Could a glow feedback be added back in?

to be honest, I sort of like the blue clock now that I added the white icons around it, but hey, just my opinion.

Agreed, I don't mind the colour. Was actually looking for the xml as I wanted to know the colour code for it, so I could match up some other icons!

Hey, great stuff!
Windows Phone 7 has an awesome GUI, and when the Mango update comes this fall, will be a serious competitor.
Just hope they will bring a possibility to use a WP7 device as tether host for the transformer....
I've copied the files, what do I have to do next? Just restart? Nothing changed...

Once the files are in the right places, simply reboot and it should all be working.

Somehow missed this edit. Anyways I might add a push effect later on, the problem is this will take some extra time since the glow effect for some ungodly reason is custom made for every button instead of just a background.png.
Priority is to get the most icons I can to reflect a windows phone 7 feel without compromising usability, after that I'll start working on push down effects.
My bad, root explorer did copy it to another location

I'm going to go ahead and call this dead...I can't find anyone willing to work on this, and those I did find are out of contact, or cannot work on the theme...so yea, I'm going to reach out to some people, but the future of this theme isn't looking good...sorry guys...anyone who wants to pick up this theme let me know via gtalk ([email protected]) or email (same email)

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 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.

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.
UPDATE 2.1:
Fixes PowerWidget
UPDATE:
updated the theme to match Cubanaso's new 1.3 update.
Modified sense apps to match theme. (I applied the same changes in Cubanaso's Detox Desire v1.3 apps to the stock DInc apps)
Fixed some graphics I forgot to change in the first one. For example the notification tray is now properly themed.
Fonts taken from Detox Desire v1.3 (included in new zip) (If you don't like them from the look of the screenshots, just delete /system/fonts/ from the zip)
Does not include Services.jar from 1.3 update. (When time permits... gotta learn how.. Busy... If anyone else wants to give it a shot, go for it)
I still can't change that USB icon or the VZW backup icon.
All credit goes to Cubanaso for the images used and the original design.

Good stuff, nice to see it made its way here. Your more than welcome to use it. Keep on eye on the nexus thread iam always trying to put out new themes for sense.
Thanks Cubanoso. Yeah I'll have to check out some nexus themes. Should be relatively the same process as converting Desire to DInc I assume. My thought process is why make a new theme when there are so many incredible themes out there already?
The problem with converting themes is that its difficult to tell if everything is working considering I don't have the other phones to view the themes on
intenselyinsane: I appreciate the help, but I was able to change the icons you mentioned. The problem icon is the one that appears in the top left of your phone when you plug it into your computer. If you know where to find that one, please let me know.
how would one modify parts of the theme? namely the power control widget - one of the few blemishes I've found in this fantastic theme. thanks for sharing
Updated first post with a new version of the theme.
This is directed mainly at cubanaso, but does anyone know how services.jar works, or even what it does . I'd like to include whatever this file modification changes but I don't know how or where to start.
Parkson: The power control widget doesn't work right, I know, but I think maybe the changes cubanaso made to 1.3 fixes this.
EDIT: nevermind. You'd have to ask cubanaso. If you fix it please let me know.
any way to make the lockscreen bar white with black letters instead of black with white letters and match the white on the clock to the rest of the theme?i love this theme by the way, thxs for porting it!!!
So far loving this. Thanks for the hard work both of you guys have put in to this. My only suggestions, the white font is kinda hard to read on the gray background. Maybe change the color to a dark gray. Also the transparent notification tray, Can the bottom of the tray be a little bigger to cover up the launcher underneath?
Thanks again for your hard work guys
Edit:
Just noticed that the android Power Control widget skin shows as a white box now
First post!!!!!
Just wanted to say amazing job!!!! This looks awesome, now I just need to find a white case to complete the look. Keep up the great work!!!!

Services.jar controls the text color for time on the notification bar. To edit it, you'll need to deodex services.jar and possibly everything else in /system/framework. You'll also need smali and baksmali. Quick search on xda should point you in the right direction. I'll try to find a link when I can get to my computer.

I hope this is what you are looking for, if not I apologize but I dug through the original theme posted by Cubanaso and the usb icon (attached) is in the zip file at:
\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ic_dialog_usb.png
Hope this helps
If you already flashed the custom fonts and want default fonts, just remove the fonts from the fonts directory that gets pushed to system. If anyone wants to do this, let me know and I'll write a list of commands usable from within Clockwork. Cheers!
The services.jar as far as i know is particular to each rom, dont quote me on that because iam not sure. Were you ever able to use it? As far as the power widget goes, I did fix that in the latest update. That widget is directly connected to the app png file found in the htc resources ( its the small white square in the first row of images) and the settings.apk. Iam back and forth between a few themes iam working on so just check my thread from time to time or pm me and ill try and help you.
- Also cant believe you guys havent jumped on the black and red theme i have, lol...only seems logical cause you guys are rocking the incredible, lol
I really like this theme a lot; thanks to all of you!
I've searched for quite a while now.. Does anybody know where to get the wallpaper show in the screenshots in the first post to this thread? The white metal with the little dots.
Am I missing something obvious?
CaptChuck: Thanks, I appreciate it. Unfortunately that icon has already been changed, but it does not change what appears when you plug in your DInc.
MichaelGraham: I'd like to know were that wallpaper is also.
JonnyBueno: Thanks! Sounds like a lot of work.
Cubanaso: Thanks. could you be a little mor specific about where the square is? I'm having trouble finding a white square in your settings that different from within the stock DInc one. I'm not sure if i have the time to get to services.jar however. I would love to port your black and red theme, but i think jonnybueno for the most part already ported it?
Kingnerd: Did you drop the entire droidx framework in the the theme? What are the visible changes from the regular stock and detox framework apk? I don't like that it changes the top bar back to black, thinking I might have to take the tray bar from that and put it in this theme... Like it better. Thanks for posting it.

Yep, it's the entire framework... I much prefer the black taskbar, etc. from the Droid X theme and I was actually using it prior as well. I like the browser, lockscreen, and other application tweaks from Detox though, so I figured I'd combine the two.

Very nice work ! However too red for me, blue would be killer !
Regards
dude what a theme, wow, incredible work.
Just installed on the 8-1 dated New Leak and looks great except for one big thing:
Please remove the red line under the notification tray.
It sticks out way too much and stops any black backrounds from blending in seemlessly with the notification tray. It also doesn't look right as the battery icon and red line overlap each other.
Again I think it would look cleaner without it.

I agree. I use black wallpapers,and it would be sick to have it blend right into the notification bar,nice and clean. Hey Hand76,where on LI are you from? Im in Riverhead,suffolk cty.

Like stated in my first post, this is a work in progress. I am aware of the icons resting on the line and have been slowly but surely raising them up so they do not. I messed around a bit just making the notification area just black without the red line and it didnt look right. I will play around with it again.

If your ROM is based of the 08/01/2010 leak then yes it should work.

Does there have to be any line of any color? I think just removing the line would be great if possible otherwise I would take black or whatever color the rest of the notification bar is.
Anyway thanks for all your work you can tell how much polish went into this.
Can you post the wallpaper that is shown is the first image? That in my opinion is what makes the theme awesome.

Having it solid black notification area looks incomplete. The trick is having it blend (transparency) but doesn't look funky when the notification area is pulled down. I am working on it now.

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I have spent many a sleepless night working on this and it is a few boredom filled days away from initial release, but far from completion. I am looking for feedback! If you don't like something, tell me and I'll look into it.
This started out being a Steampunk theme, and I think keeps the basics of it, but is not full out Steampunk.
It will be for most roms using the VillainTheme system, not theme chooser. There will not be a battery % displayed in the status bar, just the images as normal.
BEFORE YOU POST, CHECK THE SECOND POST FOR THINGS I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIX / EDIT.

Downloads
SteamPunk Initial release, still a lot of work to do. Flashable, should work with most 2.3.x roms.
Random Wallpapers that I think go with the theme.
Market Link to a free LWP that looks ok.

Things I'm trying to fixImage #1
Make the on / off icons bigger. Also some of the on / off buttons are not made yet, I forgot about those
Image #3
The USB stick is colored when you mount your SD card.
Image #4
Same as #1, maybe make the background more see through.
Image #5
Add a background image to the dialer. Probably leather.
Working with Mister Hat to make another dialer.
Image #6
Align icons
Image #7
Align icons
Image 8
This image is to show you the change to the desk clock, I don't like the time bars.
Misc
Also changed a couple of icons. What do you guys think; change them automatically or let you change them using adw or whatever?
Code:
8/23/11 Uploaded initial test release.
Suggestions so far:
Rounded corners on tabs.
Get rid of antique phone icons.
The maindock area reminds me of starcraft
Antique phones
I don't dig the antique phone icons, especially the grey one used in image #5 for the phone tab / dialer.
Also, I think you should make rounded corner tabs instead of black/white gradient.
Looking forward to it.
Yeah I agree, I loved the colorized theme.. this one would be something I'd rock in my late 60's.

It's greyed out because that tab is selected. Also this pic was taken early, it's not b&w gradient, it's all tan. I'll add new photos in the morning.
Also I'll look into the rounded corners. Don't know how to do that yet....

Thanks. I actually have considered setting this to the side since there has been so little feedback.
But when I get it done it will work for most roms, G2x and O2x.

Sweet man! Right now I can't think of anything, but if you are inspired to make anything, standard icons (I don't plan on theming app icons), or whatever. Let me know and I'll throw them in.
Keep up the good work...
I"m also looking into what files draw that button bar at the top of the contacts dialer. I couldn't find it by just looking at the .9.pngs, so next I"ll dig through the xml and find what drawables in calls to make that.
I'm getting the feeling that it may be in framework-res, though...if I find it, I'll share with ya.
It is in framework-res, I can't remember the names off the top of my head, something tab selected and unselected. Thanks man.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It looks like it's the tab_focused .9's in framework...if you change the shape of that, you'd have to know what else uses that drawable.
However, there is tab_pressed_bottom and such, in Contacts that will dictate a colored bar underneath your tabs when one is pressed.
I didnt' have much success changing the shape of the tabs...I mean, I can change the shape of them, but it just didn't look as good as I had hoped.
So what I did instead on mine, was made the tabs transparent...and then layered up the icons how I wanted them to look. That way, I can make the tab look any way I want.
Here's an example. I am toying around with the idea of making a rounded corner red border to each tab, something like what I attached.
I didn't mean to hijack your thread, I'm just hoping to be nearly as helpful to you as you were to me in the past.
It'd be pretty sweet to use this in the dialer.

That would be cool. If you want to put those icons together, I'll make it an add on for the theme. I like the buttons I have because of the background I've set up, but I'm not above making other people happy

Typeface used is Roboto, because it is sexy.
The old font was the Darkstar/Coconut font from Myn's Warm Two point two
Wow! This looks amazing! Its kinda MIUI ish. I've been thinking about flashing MIUI but all the new builds are super buggy. Thanks for this! time to move on from evolved androids theme that I've been running since v.0.6 came out haha
Thanks, glad you like it.
Some people have told me that the date on the lock screen isn't lining up right if they change fonts. I'm looking in to this to see how I can fix it. I figure the easiest way will be to just modify the lockscreen bar so it is larger.

My wife is out of town this weekend, so I am going to go through the base theme and make sure everything is themed. From there, if people tell me the widgets they want themed and I will work on them. I don't use most of the sense widgets (outside of agenda) so it doesn't really impact me if they aren't themed.
any updates on this theme?

My laptop just came back from the shop, and I am planning on spending some time finishing things up Sunday. So unless my wife decides I am not allowed to work on this...
Update: 500 more images to sift through in framework-res and I will be all done.
Should have it this week. Turn-around once v0.1.0 drops will be quick.
Very clean look.

Updated the theme to v0.99. The only thing left is the green UI elements in the stock SMS. I will get those fixed in v1.0 when the new version of the rom comes out.
At that point, it will be done for what I need out of a theme. I am open to work on any widgets or other theming stuff that anyone else would want, so just let me know.
Quick question...which font did you use in previous version(s) of this theme? I just flashed .99 and the new font seems a little big, especially on the lockscreen. Could be that I just got used to the other font, but I think I wanna go back to using that one.
Thanks...and it looks great! Been running this theme since you originally put it out.

The old font was the Darkstar/Coconut font from Myn's Warm Two point two.
<designer/type nerd rant ahead>
I switched to Roboto because some of the bowl shapes and overall letter forms of Darkstar were bothering me. It was a little too stylized and I felt the legibility of Roboto made it a better choice for the typeface to use on a phone.
</end rant>
I have noticed that the x-height and line spacing of Roboto on the lock screen seems to be a bit too large. I did a quick fix for this by increasing the height of the orange bar, but the date is not vertically centered on the bar. I am working on fixing the colors in the messaging apk now in hopes of having that ready for whenever V0.1.0 of the rom drops, and will go back to the layout XML of the lockscreen after that to see what I can do with the type layout.

Roboto is my font of choice too. Well, it was until I started using your theme...lol. Now I kinda miss the Darkstar font, which I never liked before, not even with Warm Two Point Two. Not sure if I'll wait for the updates or if I'll switch back now. If I do decide to switch, is the font available somewhere to use through FontChanger or do I need a zip to flash?

The roboto typeface? I know there are a few different flashable zips out there. If you can't find one let me know and I can get one posted up.
I don't use font changer myself, so I am not sure what is available for that.

Yeah, I can whip that up when I get get back home from Austin. I am just confused by what you mean by the orange icon. Did you mean to make the bar transparent and leave the icons the way they are?
Also did you want full on transparency or mostly transparent?
