Rebuilt my theme from the moment http://forum.sdx-developers.com/theme-files/suave-enamored-di18-di06-and-de03-versions-updated/ for the EVO.
Dont let the name fool u it will diffenetly have sense
This theme has a modded services.jar taken from the azreal rom. So if your runing a different rom that has a modded services.jar u will lose those changes. As always nand backup b4 u flash
http://www.mediafire.com/?ct584khzzamr0u0
note: do not flash more then one zip at a time. flash theme then reboot to system then flash clock

Wallpaper: DO NOT FLASH, UNPACK AND PUT ON SD CARD
http://www.mediafire.com/?fz15sqohfjd318q
PLANNED FUTURE CHANGES:
power controls in the notification bar
themed htc widgets
This theme has only been tested running the newest azreal rom based on the 3.70 ota. But should work with any 3.70 rom.
I'm not responsible if u turn your lovely evo into a paper weight
Having a problem, i have been trying to make the notification pulldown transparent and i made the png transparent, but now it just shows a black background. So i'm assuming there is a second background controled by a xml file or another png. Does anyone know what i have to edit to get it fully transparent?

Thank you, thats what i was thinking. So i guess i will go poke around in the service.jar. Themeing the evo/2.2 is way more involved then 2.1/other phones

it's not an xml edit... you just need to resize the png to fit. it uses a small png and tiles it. so just resize it to 480x800 and you're cool. i've been modding those far a long time.
Oh, nice clock, by the way... if you are going to use my clock, can you please use my download link instead, thanx.

If your still having a problem with the black text try putting the framework-res.apk in manually with root explorer!
I personally place the framework in the "overcom rom.zip" from my desktop
So maybe the cwm update is not working properly!
I dont have the text problem???
i really liked this theme on 1.4.x but the alpha level is little too low. the background distracts too much when i interact with the notification items. can it be increased a little bit? i mean make more opaque
the brightness bar is cool

I'm back again and tested your update.
First tru CWM and second tru Root explorer.
Everytime i wiped the Dalvik and still the same problem.
So i did a new rom flash currently Overcome 1.6.3.
Did the same thing over again to apply your theme.
As you can see there is still a difference between your screenshot and mine.
- i got text beneath the powerbuttons
- my display brightness shows text
- notification text is shown in black font
And i have found the reason but not the solution
If i change my "Local and text" to English language then your theme is as i should be.
If i change it back to my language (Dutch) your theme gets completely ...F-Word...
Only the notifications stay in black font even if i change the locale
So it has to be something with the locales, is there something you can do?

Did not work still the same issue.
The powerbutton and display brightness text.
But the notifications text has change into white font
well.. its not a bug but the problem im having is.. for example, when i pull down the notification bar, i can see the transparent layer which is fine but the transparency or alpha value for the transparent layer is too low for my liking. i sometimes cant distinguish between the items on notification and the items in the screen below the notification transpancy layer.

Just decompile systemui and edit status bar.xml

I have, I have also tried three different launchers. Maybe you should include it on your next release or just go ahead and send me a systemUI with it done already.
Also, on my Optimus V running unofficial CM7.2 we just got the option of changing the color of the status bar. I do not think it is a CM7 mod either, so maybe that could be included in a update later down the road.

Yea, I have read it and the problem with that is that I cannot install the java SDK or the Android SDK and apktool does not run properly. I am on a 7 year-old E-Machinces PC with a 1.2 processor and 512 MB of Ram. I cannot run half the programs I need to do this kind of stuff. I had a friend try your guide and others for me and the result was the same- not transparent. Thank you for your help anyway.
I've been trying to find this out lately in xda couldn't find any so if u know how to do it, can u plz kindly share it with me? :angel:

Hi,
I am playing around with various themes on CM12.1, and suddenly I find that my font notification for gmail is as in the picture. I try changing to other themes but cannot get the default font color back. It is very difficult to read, and I really appreciate if someone can point out how to change the font colour to something that is more readable.

Which ROM u r using?
If u r rom has TRDS switch it off
And there is option in settings for notification Color
Where u can change notification baground, icon and text colour
There u can chsnge notification text colour to white and all will be ok
Stock 12.1. After some try and error, and finding a reddit comments, I found out that sometime I need a restart then all parts of the theme can be installed over the old one.
Btw what is trds?
