Translucent swype keyboard - Droid X Themes and Apps

Hey, I've been searching for a skin to put on my swype keyboard for awhile now and was wondering if anyone has come across a translucent skin. Something that is semi transparent but still solid enough for the keys to have color.
If not, could someone point me toward finding a guide to make my own skins so I can roll my sleeves up and give it a try
Thanks

928 black glass deodexs your phone for you

http://www.928droid.com/DroidX.htm
Download over your stock or themed 2.3.15 and it will deodex everything for you. Doesn't mess with root or anything else like that. Just used it and works great also the 928 blackglass is a great theme. Been using it since I rooted.
You can install a diffrent theme after and it will still be deodexed

Use the 928 theme to deodexed then use his "Back to stock" theme
PS...Excellent Theme by the way
The back to stock didn't undo the twitter app mod.

Yeah, it leaves the twitter and facebook apps skinned. I had to delete those .apks from system/apps/, reboot, and reinstall them. No biggie though.

Can the color of the clock in the top right corner be changed? Black on black strains my old lady eyes
If you download the file "deodexer" the clock should he white

I am interested in deodexing through the 928 method. Can any one give me an idea on the black glass theme it comes with? Is it nice? What are the pros and cons of the actual theme?
Any info would be very much appreciated.

Overall I liked the theme (on my droidX) but found it to be a bit too "black".
Had trouble reading some notification items (weatherbug etc..) since it was black text on black dropdown.
Also was not too crazy about all the "droid eye" stuff on the dropdown etc..
But I REALLY liked the notification icons, power widget icons etc..
Wish he would make a toned down version of this for the X
I used his "back to stock deodexed" to get back to stock but keep the files deodexed then installed a different theme that I like better.

Great, thanks for the info!

My first Sense Skin (Streamline Moderne/Art Deco)

I did some modifications to the stock HTC "Metal" skin (updated the nav bar and buttons, the notification/status bar, the lock bar, and the weather clock). I thought I'd share in case anyone else is interested in this. The design is basically aluminum fins over marble (with aluminum dividers between the marble sections) and old typewriter keys for the nav buttons.
Below you will find a couple of screen shots, the apk file, and two "Streamline Moderne Android" wallpapers I made (one is included with the skin, the other has a larger droid that is more vertically centered).
Looks nice bro!!!!

Looks great! So how did you make it. I'd like to make a darker slate.
Thanks.
I basically followed the instructions in this thread:

Nicely done! I got it on my phone now. One question though, how do you get the nav/app buttons to show up. All I can find are the stock icons.
Thank you

Sorry for the long delay. I've had some serious distractions and didn't see your post until this morning.
If you could, please post a screen pic that shows what you're seeing on your device. The nav/app buttons should be included in the skin.
The icons that are on the desktop in my screen pic above were added in using "Folder Organizer". I'm working on getting permission to post a larger set of typerwriter key icons, but I don't have it yet.
Great job on this!

[THEME] Simple Black and Blue Synergy Nightlies ICS[updated 9/7/12]

Here is a simple theme I have been making for myself and decided to share with you guys. It is very minimal as I don't like major themes. It Is black and Ics blue. It themes the systemui, framework, contacts, dialer, gallery, mms. I made the toggles in the pulldown a little smaller on the height to not waste space like they are stock and they are very slightly transparent, and the brightness slider is removed because I don't use it and think it wastes space also. The messaging app I used some of my sense 4 bubbles I had made from my rezound, The bubble colors can be changed in the app settings, and there are a few different backgrounds in there also. As always make a backup in recovery first in case you don't like or have problems. Just flash the zip in recovery.
Updated to r2 fixed the status bar clock so it is blue now, and themed the phone apk to match the dialer and contacts. Also adding in a flashable zip to add the brightness slider back in. Flash the theme first then the slider zip if you want the brightness slider. The brightness slider is the zip attached to the bottom of this post Pulldown_Bright just flash that after the theme.
Updated to R3 now. Has new dialer, dimed down the blue contact pictures a little for unknown contacts, fixed a few little things in the framework that weren't themed, and added a different bubble style to the 4th style in the app.
Updated to R4. No huge changes just new contact picture backgrounds, a few buttons here and there,and blue spinner in the framework, changed the bottom row icons on the dialer to white. And has the newer updated systemui thats in my other thread. Havent changed the screenshots yet so they dont reflect the changes.
Updated to R5. Some new icons here and there and I finally found the gray behind the ok and cancel buttons and the reboot menu. Added in the fading to blue instead of a hard line in some places. Added in seperate flashable to remove call recording so the phone apk stays themed, and as always the brightness slider for those who want it. Make sure you flash the full theme first. Updated all the screenshots also.
Update R6. Just a few small things in the framework, fixed the little line by the settings in the pulldown to be ics blue, and fixed when you touch your notifications in the pulldown its ics blue now instead of darker blue. Made all the divider lines in the settings blue also.
FULL THEME HERE

Any chance you can make a flash for an ICS blue clock qnd possibly make a flash for to enable the brightness slider? Trying to find an all-blue app that doesn't change to much about synergy and this caught my eye. Thanks either way!

I fixed the clock so it is blue now. I also added in a zip to put the brightness slider back for those that prefer it. I also themed the phone apk in the new version so that it matches the dialer, before if you were in a call the buttons didnt match.
Looks great. Thanks

Maybe the deep blue bubble color in the SMS? Like in beans ROM. I always thought that looked really clean.

You wouldnt happen to have a screenshot of those would you? I hate to download the whole rom just to see what they look like. I can make just about anything for the sms bubbles colors are easy and I can make about any shape or style they just take a little bit to make since they are draw 9 png's.

Yeah those bubbles are in the stock message apk I think just ugly colored. I may play around with them a little. Im kinda bored with the sense 4 bubbles since ive used them for a while before this phone. I may make the blue the same as the rest of the theme. Either way I will leave the way it is now and whatever I do as an addon probably, so people have options.
You guys should use the synergy secMMS.apk for your re theming. They tweaked it and fixed a lot of annoyances; namely the option to turn off the 'screen on every time a message is received feature'.
I hate using the stock MMS app for multiple reasons but its mainly the color and screen on when receiving a message. Just figured I'd throw it out there! Thanks!

It already uses there newest one with that option Its in the settings
So I'm not sure what I'd recommend for the dialer. I definitely like the white numbers better than blue, but the value outlines are rubbing me the wrong way. I'm not sure what I'd suggest though because no lines would look unfinished.
It is growing on me.
The pull down is awesome.

Yeah I feel the same on it lol. It looks weird without the outlines because its all black. I might try like a 50% transparent blue outline so it doesnt stand out as much. Or I could go ics blue solid keys, but that might be way to much lol. Or maybe just dark grey or something on the keys. Ill get something figured out, it took me like a week with the pulldown to get everything the way I like it.
I do agree with u as well!!!

Just wondering if the status bar is fully transparent and if it is could we get it a little less? I haven't installed yet but it looks like it could be hard to see certain things on it.
Will deff. use this when your set with everything!
Thanks for the theme. Looks good and works great!
I kinda of like where the dialer is headed. I prefer the ics blue, but it does look a little blocky. Not sure what to suggest. Maybe no outline, and color the buttons ics blue but with a gradient from transparent to blue? I dunno.
The only thing I could do without is the battery mod. I like one circle. 2 confuses me.
But I can live with it. Thanks again!

No the status bar is about the same as the stock synergy one on transparency. Then I changed it a little from the screenshots to where when you get notifications its darker transparent behind them. You can see the notifications pretty well. I dont like the solid black behind them to blocky for me or something. Its to where it looks good and you can see them well too.

What do you guys think of this for the dialer buttons.

[Q] Round/Circle App Icons?

Anyone using a circle/round app icon theme thats compatible with Apex? I found a couple but wondering what all my options are. All i want is the app Icons to be round instead of square. Trying a new fresh look for my S3.
TIA
I know of Flatro and Shaded Icons. Purchased both of them actually. I'm sure there are numerous others if the community has anything to say about that.
Im trying Circle Zoom HD right now.
