Flashed my phone to PROven rom with the help here. Much better now than FUZE stock set up. Have seen some cool setups, icons, etc and have done some reading. I think I am confused. What is the difference between a theme and a wallpaper. I know in the DiamondConf program you can change the theme (i dont not have any in my drop down box, but i looks like the Settings>Wallpaper changes the today screen. I am confused but learning.
There was a great first time flash instructions in Rom developement forum. Would like to see the same for icons, clocks, etc.
same difference as on pc
a wallpaper is a background image
a theme is a setup of background image
and titlebar and fonts...........
I have an HTC Fuze Raphael basic rom with a few tweaks including mUns backgrounds for all tabs. I am a wallpaper freak & I constantly like to change it up. That means to see how my new wallpapers will look I have to go in & out of files which is time consuming. How about something where you plug in your phone to the computer your phones face shows on the computer screen & on the side you have all your background choices and everytime you click on a background it shows what your phone will look like with that wallpaper including what the tabs would look like too. Then how about an option to select a different wallpaper for each tab & viewing what it would look like. I also use Basic Hue Express which helps match the task bars to wallpapers. How about something that changes the task bar color with it too & having many choices of colors. Also the font style & color. If you want to get more into it have a selection of different clocks & icons. Then once statisfied click on complete & the theme shows right on your phone instead of downloading cabs or installing anything. Well thats my idea feel free to take it and run & make it better or add more ideas. Have fun developers! If you take on my idea keep me updated & let me test it out first hehe. Thanks! *Priscilla
Moved as not theme release.

Yea thats cool
As the title says I'd really like it if someone could make that for me, I'm using Darchdroid 2.7, who ever gives me it first will get a donation

Basically that..just the gray bar, not the icons. or anything. I'd rather have the gray then black or white
I'm looking into it just for fun. It may not be real easy to do being that motoblur is based on donut's framework and darchdrod eclair.
Here's a backflip system dump:
http://www.androidspin.com/download...lip.Blur_Version.0.1.1199.MB300.ATT.en.US.zip
The sprites you want to port over should be in the framework-res.apk located in /system/framework... assuming the backflip filesystem is like a standard android phone.
I'm d/ling that system dump now. If it's easy, I'll do it.
Hmm... the only png I could find that looked like it might be the statusbar background is attached. Doesn't look very gray to me.
I'm also looking at a froyo framework-res to see where the matching statusbar sprite is located and it appears to be MIA. Chances are the is a result of the difference in version.
that picture you posted is a white bar...
Agreed. It is a nice looking bar though.

I think they are distinctly different bro D:
It seems whenever I apply a theme, the circular (or regular lock) bar will not change from the color green, nor will the "Phone" icons change, or will the color of the call button on phone change from green. Any reason these things won't change? Im currently running RubiX 1.9.7 Focused with the Black Juice True Blue theme. See pictures.
First time poster, so I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.
i51.tinypic.com/1zcfpmp.png Lockscreen stays green.
i55.tinypic.com/28je5tx.png Phone numbers don't change, call buttons stays green.
Other question, how do you embed a link into words here?

if you went from one theme to the next more or less themeing over each other some aspects of the old theme may still be seen in the new,,,,sometimes trails can be left behind,so the way i prevent this is right after i flash a rom and know i want to use it and theme it prior to flashing any themes i make a backup of that rom so when i want to use a new theme i restore my clean rom backup and install my new theme,,,this clean rom backup also comes in handy if things dont go well with the theme you installed and need a way out without having to reflash the whole rom,just do a simple restore,,,,sorry to babble and hope this helps
No thats not it, for some reason, those things will not change with any theme I apply.

What color do you want them to be? I just pulled out the framework, and the images haven't been themed, that is why they are still showing up green. I can try and re-color them if you want.
I'd like them to be the same blue color as
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...uice-ginger-themes-rubix-focused-1-9-7-a.html
the true blue theme, which is a few posts down, it's what im using currently.
Also sorry for the late reply, been a busy few days.
Hey guys so I rooted my sidekick and started using Glorious Overdose V2 ever since and love (almost) everything about it. The one thing I hated was the color scheme. The blue on gray style of the icons can be very hard to read IMO and doesn't really look that good to me.
So, I took it upon myself to create a nice little theme with icons that are all bright yellow and green. I think it looks pretty nice for the most part (although some of the icons are a bit pixelly as I am not a photoshop guru) and looking at the icons is certainly much easier than it was with the original theme.
The .zip I am uploading contains the .png's I modified (I didn't take the time to edit EVERY icon) taken from /System/framework/framwork-res.apk --> /res/drawable-hdpi
All icons have their original names and I assume it should work with any ROM for the sidekick.
Please post here with any questions/feedback. I will probably be updating this pack in the future as I decide I want to change more. Also, if anybody knows how to put these into an .apk or a flashable update.zip please feel free to post that here as I'm a noob and don't know how to do those things lol.
