I started playing with themes and eventually settled on asking MrDSL for permission to update his CM7 Mixer theme. None of the base work was by me and all credit for the base goes to MrDSL. Any donations should also be sent to him cause I am simply doing this for the fact of learning how. The original thread can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017179.
I mostly wanted to update this so that it reflects MrDSL's more recent work for CM9, as well as the Decks ReLoaded ROM which has the added "Battery Bar Mod" in the settings menu.
Credits: I am simply updating an already existing theme, so all credit for what this is based on goes to MrDSL. He has been beyond helpful with answering my questions, and there have been plenty lol.
6-10-12 Update to Mixer v1.8
Changes:
Ported more stuff from Mixer ICS.
Changed status bar to solid black bar.
Change notifications pull down and some of the toggle switch icons in pulldown.
Changed Pandora widget
Fixed Amazon MP3 and Google Maps icons. (they were there but not pulling properly)
Themed parts of IheartRadio just cause I use it and the red widget didn't work with my blue phone...
Added a lot more to the QuickSearchBox app that came stock with Decks Reloaded. (This is NOT the Google Seach app)
Themed the icons for Go Contacts and Go Dialer.
Figured out how to theme the "mini battery" in the status bar for when you change to show percentage in the advanced settings.
Changed some small, unimportant things like adb debugging icon and the image used in status bar for when you set phone to vibrate.
Issues: None that I know of.

No problem. I really liked it to, and when I used his CM9/AOKP version I was yet again amazed. So I wanted to kinda bring it back to CM7.

Hey to fix the bubble on text thing you should try pm'ing linsalata for a solution since on his Myn theme he has an add-on for it.
I'm sure this is on your list but Google music has black on black text in the notification dropdown

I have never used google music but I do know that some apps allow you to change the text color in the apps settings. Try that if that dont work I will look into it.

Im half way there at the moment. Its an xml edit and could have solution soon. Thanks.
No option for Google Music text color that I can find. It's pretty lean on options. But all the other notifications etc work just fine. Might just be an issue with G Music.
Updated OP to v1.2.
Posting rosie mods in post #2 now also.
Bump thread... updated theme 1.3 with landscape
Title says it all. Can i somehow put other toggles like wifi hotspot on the toggle bar? and also maybe customize the brightness setting so its more like a cm7 one (not just auto and bright). I hope its not some setting i missed.... :/ Also on a different note is there an add on for a colored battery indicator on the lockscreen? Ive tried a few apks but they cause me to reinstall my backup. I HAVE looked around the forums already....
-thanks
Unfortunately all that you mentioned are pretty well set with no customization option. There are a couple great themes for it in the theme section however. By bmann and kwes

odd you should mention that i just got an offshoot of the mixer theme yesterday. I'm really liking the animations & status bar, and it fits with some of the honeybread backrounds i had from before too

+1 i really like bmanns theme
-=Blue Steel v2.2 for Bionix Reloaded 1.4=-
First of all I want to thank Mr. Apocalypse for the amazingly amazing ROM, then I want to thank KingDavid63 who created/edited the theme and NATA8986 for fixing the images to work for the newer Weapon and Eagle's Blood.
The links on their names go to the original threads.
Little things I changed:
-Solid black drop down background.
-Solid black taskbar background.
-Changed lockscreen sliders to the slim outline. Looks 10x cleaner.
-Changed lockscreen icons to be more minimal.
-Changed when you turn wifi on/off to the solid "off" picture instead of the weird wifi picture.
-Changed the busy icon.
-Only included modified systemui.apk (status bar) and deskclock.apk (clock widget) and didn't include the other themed apk files (you can get those from the original thread inside the .zip).
Known issues:
When you long press power, it'll say "Einharjar" and "Phone" instead of "Reboot" and "Recovery." You can simply use the "Reboot" option that's in the quick toggles. It gives you both option for regular reboot or recovery and they both work.
There is no clock on the lockscreen. It isn't my issue, it's just that way from the original theme.
First!
Will flash and report back. Thank you for this theme!

No problem .
I wish I could take a picture of the lockscreen sliders because they fit good with the theme.
The sliders are thanks to uot kitchen by the way.
Nice!!..Looks like we have something to toy with...on it dl'ng as soon as i put 1.4 on ...then im flashin way!! thanks
This is awesome, can't wait to try it out! I've been running weapons blue steel on bionix hoping someone would port it Would you be able to make the status bar clock on the top right blue?
Silly question..launcher updated, lost the stock blue snake background...where did it go, i cant find it!? lol
ROM developers already spend enough time to provide a quality product, but not all of us are always 100% happy with the way the ROM looks. Theme developers will make different themes for a particular ROM, but even still not everyone wants every change introduced in the theme. It can be cumbersome for developers and themers alike to thoroughly please each of its followers. That's where I'd like to change the game with the GSIII - rather than having to rely on a themer to make something that looks close to what you'd like, you'll be put in the driver seat and choose your own modifications.
What options are you presented with?
- Battery style
- Clock position and color (stock grey or ics blue)
- Brightness slider (won't work on stock ROMs)
- Placement of the date/clear button bar
- Transparency % of the notification area
- Lidroid toggle style (keep your current or use my slimmed ICS blue ones)
- Number of lidroid toggles shown w/o scrolling
- Text labels or not below those toggles
However, these changes can't be made possible without a little side effect. In this first version, the style of the clock, date, clear button, and toggles use the ICS blue color. In future versions of the theme system, additional styles will be provided!

Well done! Options are always nice to have! Minor, slightly OCD request. Would it be possible to have the percentage in the honeycomb or circle battery icon be blue to match everything else? Thank you!

Came from MIUI on a Droid X. Had something like this. Could get rid of the battery icon altogether and just show a line across the top (could even pick the color). Does the download currently allow for this?

Correct. Flash it from whichever recovery you use - should work fine on CW or TWRP.
Everyone, once you've tried the thing out and played with it to create maybe 1 or 2 styles, feel free to provide some suggestions of what you'd like for version 2. Unless you guys have some objections, the next thing I'll be working on is a JB styled notification area. Did anybody actually like the TouchWiz style? I found it to be ugly, but if enough people wanted it I'll provide that as another available theme to use in v2.

I second this with the option of having an animated image.
This is pretty awesome. Only thing I would change is the white background on the installer. It is super bright.....
I would like to see icon packs
Inverted app installer
Anything and every thing you can add that would help NOOBs.
This IMHO is a monster leap for the avg/inexperienced Android modder
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium HD app
I may be interpreting your first post wrong but you plan to allow for color picks or just different theme choices in the future?
And how about lockscreen options?
30% transparent on the statusbar might be the sweet spot for me. Any chance of adding increments of 10, rather than 20?

It would be cool if the vibrate icon in the dashboard was themed blue.

High guys I was hoping somebody could port motomoto's theme over to US/Verizon S3's. His new update doesn't seem to work with other S3's and if possible I would like a couple of changes to the theme.
1) Semi-transparent status bar and notification panel
2) ics blue numbers for dialer.
3) ics blue titles for notifications
4) ics blue notification symbols
5) TWRP support, he seems to only support CWM
6) I don't know if he kept the ics blue notification bubbles on his new theme but he had it on his old one and that looked awesome.
Thank You, I am sure this would be an awesome theme if somebody could make it.

The 12/7 version is same as the Aroma version for 4.1.1. The changes affected 4.1.2 and don't work anyway. To get what you are looking for flash kindacraps mods picking everything blue and black. Set transparencies to 75%. Then flash Moto's theme. To flash on TWRP swap out zipalign in the 2 VRTheme folders in the Moto zip. Zipalign can be found here. If using kindacraps mods on latest Synergy with Multi-Window do not flash the android policy mods which is the middle one of the first three options. Only flash the SystemUI and Framework mods.

I was hoping somebody with theming experience could combine both themes together as a flashable zip but as soon as I get to my computer I will try changing the vrtheme.
