[THEME] Yellow - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

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.

[REQUEST] Flashable Motoblur Grey Notification Bar

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
http://www.wirefresh.com/images/motorola-motoblur.jpg
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.

flashable clear taskbar

Stock clear taskbar by Rujelus on first page. If you are themed this will revert lockscreen, notification window etc
--
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can make a flashable clear/100% transparent taskbar and clear/100% transparent sense bottom bar launcher.
Ideally, the bottom bar launcher would be something like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=385691&d=1282488980
in burst's plurstaralpha theme, which is transparent but with visible interactive buttons
The taskbar would be similar to riptide's current
http://www.johnwishon.com/themes/riptide9.png
In similar threads i've seen at least half a dozen people ask for these things, so i wouldn't be alone in using these.
Anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I've been wanting JUST a clear taskbar for a while now. I don't want 4 million changes in a theme package, it's always one or two things I want. Wish they'd do a lot more splitting up of the mods so you can pick and choose what all you want.
I really want the clear bottom bar launcher. And the 3d app drawer.
What would it take to get all the devs together to create a Theme Kitchen?
Or maybe just the top 5 devs or something. Because there are some really nice themes out there, and like jlechner says, the ability to pick and choose parts out of themes would be really nice.

Going to try something, my method won't be flashable but it might work...
Kitchen definitely would be nice though.

you can get that stuff using launcher pro. but you want to keep the htc sense also right?
pretty sure konikub made one, as I have flashed it. I dont know if I have the zip but im pretty sure if you searched konikubs posts you will find what you are looking for. Here is his 2.2 theme post, not sure if its in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746689
EDIT: I have something called DC-FRESH_AloysiusClearTaskbar-signed, search the forum for it if that is what you are looking for
Here you go, this is completely stock except the two things that you wanted. As far as making a kitchen, I have no clue on that.
RUJELUS22_Clear.zip
How do I remove this? I flashed it and it looks horrible. It's messed up when I swype down to see my notifications. I'm using Fresh 3.1.0.1

Reapply whatever previous theme you had to replace the framework-res package that made these changes i think.
It looks good, and I do appreciate the work you put into this Rujelus, thank you
unfortunately, since I had manup's theming, it reverted my clear lockscreen, clear notification bar, clear calendar widget back to stock and left black bordering around some of the smooth revolution battery, signal etc icons.
I thought framework theming was seperate lines that were added/removed but looks like its more complicated than i thought : /

Like I said this is completely default except the 2 edits. These edits are just pictures inside framework-res and com.htc.resources there is no way that I know of to add something like this to the theme you already using unless you do the edits to the files that you are using right now. When you do an update.zip it will replace the whole file not just the edited parts.
Oh : (
Thank you for your efforts

Battery Icons

Figured I'd take my first stab at Framework mods in the form of Battery Icons!!!
Alright, with all I've been seeing about Honeycomb recently I decided to go with a hexagon shape as the base.
Did some searching, but it seems you cannot make a flashable file to change png's inside a .apk? would love for someone to prove me wrong there. Soo here are the .png files for you to change em yourself.
Lemme know what you think.
Black Notification Bar
White-on-Green
Black-on-White
White Notification Bar
White-on-Black
Radial-White-on-Black
Taking requests for other colors.
Second Set
More Battery Icons
Nice work.
Doh! now I find the 10% increment mod... looks like its time to start over...
Thank you

minimalist text

Can anyone post/updoad links to download minimalist text icons that I can use? I dont like all the colors of icons when Im trying to really simplify and make it look clean.
I have a few from an old EVO theme I had (but theres only 133). Or if there are higher res icons?
Simple icon creator in market will do the job for you. Very easy to use.

[REQ] Black and White theme

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in making a minimalistic black and white or black and light grey theme for ANY ROM.
I have zero graphical abilities so if anyone wants to take this up, it would be really appreciated.
Looking for a black background based theme with a numerically written battery without any background image (essentially the CM battery).
To make it super epic, if the theme was for devices set to 160 DPI, it would totally be awesome, if not then oh well.
Do It Yourself
If you know exactly what you want then you should try UOT Kitchen. Just Read the "How To" section first and you will be on your way to developing your first theme. Be sure to extract the proper files(SystemUI.apk and (framework-res.apk) from the ROM you are running to a familiar folder BEFORE you select "upload files" near the end of the process. This will save you time and will keep the files readily handy for your next cook. Regernate previews after each mod selection to see how it is looking. Search the forums for more on this subject, good luck! You can do this.
