Shall start the ball rolling in the Microsoft Surface Tablet section.
Well the tablet's keyboard comes in 5 colors, Blue, White, Black, Pink and Red and are interchangable! (As shown below)

Which color would you want your keyboard to be?
Personally I like the black one.
I like the look of the blue. I've just ordered a cyan Nokia 710 and they look like they'd go really well together, but it might be a bit too much for long term use. If I was going to use it as an all day desktop replacement I think I'd need the black.

Blue is a little too bright for me, at least it's pretty!
Added a poll!
Seems you forgot the white one?
The black color of course.
There is also Orange.
The white most def. - Given the fact that it looks like a Microsoft-Apple Crossover I'd feel like having the best of both worlds (design-wise .. from the outside..) and the Apple-Fanboys would hate it
I also like the Idea of a Facebook special-edition.. This would make their market entry slick like the butter on a muffin. -> (dafaq is this with outlinks?) newsgrape.com/a/CR4Vbkuh0R4a5R9HOO_tmQ/the-cover-colors-of-the-new-microsoft-surface-tablets/#!gallery[the-cover-colors-of-the-new-microsoft-surface-tablets]/5/
Please add White to the Poll - feels like egypt election

Oops. I didn't see it!

Same place as the zune lol
black for me, ill know ima wanna keep changin colors if not lol
i like White !!!!!!
Too few colors...
No green? They need to increase their palette a bit. It is still great to see some choices.
I think I would want one in TARDIS blue... like this:
Black All the Way
blue one for me too!
I will go for White/Blue
Might have to see the actual colors to decide.
Black ftw, one may say it's too casual, but at the same time it's the most universal colour.
Black seems like the best choice for business users, with the colored ones a better choice for the younger crowd and students .
My choice Black!

Hello everybody,
I did search but no luck. Maybe it has not been done yet.
What I would like is to have a mania 2.1 theme that looks exactly as the sub-menus look. White.
This would be good for several reasons:
1. You would actually see your screen in direct sunlight. I suppose you know what I mean...
2. It would give the phone an elegant clean look.
3. It would give the good old manila a new look but at the same time it would not be exaggerated or too colorful.
I would be glad to help any developer who is interested, but unfortunately I don't have the coding knowledge...I know design though and would be glad to provide any kind of image manipulation services if it's needed.
If this already exists please help me with a link
Also, what we might need if a white upper and lower taskbar theme to make this complete.
The HTC Fuze (for AT&T) stock ROM includes a white theme. It shouldn't be too hard to modify the art a bit to remove the AT&T-ificiation, and make a nice white theme.

Personally, I have experienced that white text/icons on a black or black-ish background give me sufficient contrast for daylight use. Perhaps you should turn off your light-meter and set the backlight lumens to 100%.
Thank you for your reply. Yes. I was looking for something similar... The only difference would be to have it the default touchflo 3d sub-menu color scheme.
It would also help me if someone would guide me to a thread that is about changing the text color...that would be useful too. If I could change the text, the only thing that remains would be the slide-bar which is easily customizable.
Thanks
As I was looking further I found a thread and it seems like he has only just started the work.
Here's the thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=79323
And the image:
that reminds me of chocolate vanilla poptarts. and now i really want some poptarts!
edit: by the way that doesnt look like manila 2.1 (i typed vanilla at first, hehe, damn delicious poptarts!) like he wanted. but it looks like a white background and a white slider canvas and a black flip clock. how hard could it be to get those up and working?
Yes.
All we would need would be:
1. Black text - which I couldn't find
2. A Custom Slider - which is not as important
3. A black clock which can also be found somewhere - not too important either.
And it seemed easy to me too, but unfortunately no one has made this before. If it is that easy please point me to a thread where I can get the black text from (for manila 2.1) and I'll be happy because the slidebar isn't that bad this way either.
ask in the manila 2.1 port thread. im sure someone will get you some black text.
hey look what i found. retro eh?
Yeah, retro indeed. I asked in the manila 2.1 port thread but they seem to be too busy with answering other questions and didn't take the time to even respond.
I can understand them because they have enough on their mind...poor guys work a lot for free so you can't be mad at them for not answering.
I just hope that one day someone will take the time to change the manila text to black.
I have an idea for Icons, quick links, notifications, slider, and bottom soft key bar that I would like to see come to life.
The problem is, I'm not a dev, I do not have Photo shop, and if I ran out and bought it, I would'nt know how to use it.
SOOOO, My idea with your talents, and this would be one rockin package. I might even learn a few things along the way
I was looking at a pic of a etched glass globe, and said WOW that would look so nice as icons/theme on my phone. I wonder how hard it would be to do.
Here is the pic of my insperation. If your interested in taking this on, please contact me, and lets get the ball rolling.
Cheers

Hey, you dont need to create a whole theme for this i guess, you already have all the tools in this forum to do so. E.g Just use Hello00's glossy theme and a glass icon set, then use the above globe image as your background.
See my screenshot, the clock is hel00s gloss clock and the icons are Dinik's Anastasia set if i remember correctly. It will look sweet with the globe.
Try and out and let us know how u get on.
thanks for the tip, looks nice.
But, I was thinking of making the images for the glass icons in an etched look, and doing the rest of the elements IE, soft bar, slider, clock, ect etched as well. The flip clock is probibly already out there (or something close to it) and shouldnt take to much to do.
The rest how ever would take a lot of PS time.
Ah, i see what you mean.
Im sure somebody will be able to help you with this.
It will look good when done.
Ill be watching this thread, good luck with it.
Very nice concept, far beyond my abilty, but I will look forward to a capable designer to create these.
its not so easy...you have to know 3d editing...like 3d max...there is a 3d ball and a texture placed on it. it looks only good...because the globe texture need to be round...but if you place something not round...like home...it gonna look horrible.
honestly, I was not seeing a 3D image in my mind. more like taking your Anastasia template and putting a etched image in the layers representing the app.
The idea of a 3D image would look nice, but be a lot of work.
Here's something I came across while I was on DeviantART website

You see the first N1, the interface looks really good and then if you read the comments from the user, it says:
"I also added the first look at the new Deep Blue user interface that will ship in a ROM update that has yet to be decided. For those who root, watch out for this one. It will be complete and may add a few new widgets you don't get with the stock Android interface. Please read the legal note below regarding the new interface."
There is also a legal notice on this so no one can copy this work....
So what do you guys think?
EDIT: here's the link :

fwoar dude, that looks sick!
Hmm Gingerbread anyone ?
Doubt anything official would ever look like that, personally.
Really do NOT dig that dial-like theme...
I'd love to see it becoming real, but those pics are really old and still nothing....
I love the missed calls / emails / text messages...to bad he doesn't know its Sergey Brin not Bin
Don't worry Ander, your launcher still rules,
But don't sit on your laurels...

looks great. does anyone know what that clock widget on the darker version is?
Seems like the dock at the bottom is a colossal waste of screen space for the number of buttons it has.

it kinda looks like you could hide it....see the little blue arrow on top of the circle portion
i'm going to label it the symbian theme
You guys are hilarious! Thanks to commenting on my theme. It WAS in development for Ultimate Droid Rom but Blackdroid and I kinda parted ways on a good note. So that leaves this theme in limbo. Anyone interested in working on making it a reality? Contact me at zandog (at) gmail dot com I also have a few more themes on my smartphone design concepts at zandog.deviantart.com
wait so we can download this already? check out the download button on the side. we can download already?!
I hope you are not being serious. It's only a psd file for photoshop if anyone wants to make theme.

actually i was. sorry that i didnt know wtf that was
lol it's cool. Now if someone can actually make them really that would be just awesome. For starters I'll settle for the widget with missed calls and text count and all those goodies
lol yeah i would like that too
Is there anyway to get that red android wallpaper? looks really nice.
Firstly let me make clear that I have taken inspiration from SimpText by UltraLinx. I loved the idea he had created, very simple and minimalistic, however on my Desire the icons were just too small to be useful for me. Very kindly, UltraLinx also provided the PSD file he based his icons on. From this I amended the colours, the font, the size, as well as some more font options.
The end result is as follows:

The green looks great with the incredible reEvolution remix theme.
Thanks and good work!
Sick, I was using Ultralinux icons, I love his work, it's a good thing that somebody from the Dinc crew decide it to do this, by the way nice colors, gonna try it and post comments later.

For the record I don't think he's part of the Inc community specifically lol more the Desire community
But obviously he's part of the XDA community
Must say these look great. I loved UltraLinux's originals, having more options just means sexier home-screens.
Thanks!

Thanks guys, and yes I currently own a desire and galaxy s (my hero was stolen :'( ). I found the ultralinx ones way too small on the screen, these are more readable
Wow, these are awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!

This is fantastic, thank you!
I'm guessing the site is down? I would love to have the blue version but am unable to find a working link. Would anyone be kind enough to share if you happen to have the pastel blue ones? I would heart you forever.
I have never installed icons like this. Im just used to flashing themes through cwr, can anybody let me know what app they use to install them or how to install them plz?

I use launcher pro, install it then to change the dock icons just long press the icon choose custom and then select your favorite. First move the icons you want from the zip to a gallery folder, made it easier for me to find them

Site is back up I'm a happy camper. Thanks again!

Could we maybe get a "SEND LOCATION" to use for apps like Glympse?

All my icons/guides/anything are free, I think that one of the greatest things about android is the community effort, the fact that most people go out of their way, use their free time to enhance the experience of others. Where as I may use a custom rom from a dev here, some may use my icons. Beautiful.
Having said that, if you do enjoy them, a small (as small as you like) donation to help me keep my site up would be much appreciated
Thank you, will test the white ones later, but asking two times in a row for a donation looks almost like begging. With all respect, they are text icons everyone with small knowledge in photoshop and enough spare time can make. Its like my 173 resized wallpapers, take some time but really not worth a donation.... Just my two cents, its not a personal attack....thanks for sharing of course!

Oh, you know i didn't even realise, i copy and pasted the top half from my site and added the bottom bit for xda :/
thx for your always awesome icons...
i liked tallmin`s icons and this too...
Nice... I have used these for my home screen now, thanks.
I have two questions, first, where'd you get the background from, it is awesome. (I think this is sort of off topic, but in your tallmins theme you had a pretty cool background for your screeny too, do you get them from a particular place, or just hunt Google/devianart etc for good pics?)
Secondly, anyone know how to add one of these for the app tray arrow instead of the block we currently have in ADW?? I don't think we can do it the normal way (i.e. through ADW settings), but is there anyone out there who can prove me wrong?
I would like to use the 'APPS' icon to open the app tray. If I can't, its no biggy. Just would be nice is all
And again, thanks for saving me the time trying to do this myself, these icons look awesome!!
