I see everyone talking about this black theme, but I can't find it anywhere on my VZW S6. I've gone to the theme store a few times to triple check that I'm not just missing it. Maybe the vzw S6 didn't get the update yet?

Universe is an all black theme. Has space wallpapers but the icons are not like the space theme.
Hopefully they open it up to developers so we can get more themes. What we currently have, is a bunch of crapola that reminds me of the LG theme store. Who the heck designs this stuff?
I just wish we could create our own custom theme or at least chose icon packs or status bar colors

Universe? Don't seem to have that one either!
The Marvel themes seem pretty complex and they change quite a bit which is a good sign. Hopefully once themers can get their hands on it there will be plenty of options to choose from. Play Store availability would be a great incentive to app developers so hopefully that's a possibility as well.

It's kind of hard to find all of them. Go to the last one on the bottom in the category "Fanciful Drawings & Illust" click on theme. Scroll to bottom and you can click on more by that author. I don't know why they aren't just all listed on the main screen. It is kind of dumb.

Samsung changed it sometime between yesterday and today. The author was cogul planet. Now it is gone. Not sure why they removed it. There is now a few new ones though by that author. I'm sure it is going to keep changing for a while. Hopefully they give us more options and more control like the themes for Sense 7

Arlo P. Hatherton. He's a designer who works for the S. And you're hurting his feelings.
one thing i have found is that i might like a Theme but dont like the wallpaper like on SMS or Dialer and wish i could use their icons and dialer layout but not their wallpaper.
i am very happy as Themes and rows and columns were 2 of the big reasons i would root and with this kind of advancement i am less likely to care.

Looks interesting. Make one with an Android mascot and maybe I would flash it I'm assuming to do that you are modifying the images in the HtcLockscreen.apk file or one of the frameworks files?
Definitely interested here. Same as above though...I assume the background could be changed via standard method built into the phone?

ooo good call, i 2nd that request!
Man... I Like better its crazy hot.... it would be awsome with the Android mascot
I suggest you zip and release them as-is, and tell folks how to change the image themselves
Personally I really dig the last one, and would use it.
I concur with the above -- I've been looking for a good lockscreen replacement, and yours with the Android mascot instead of the lock would be absolutely amazing (especially the last one)
I like the 2nd one in the pic ... one with clock over the lock ... can we erase that SPRINT ... haha
how about small android on the bottom of the lockscreen remove time and put iwhat? on top of his head ala someones avatar

Actually I think you can remove the sprint. Edit your build.prop. shouldn't break anything but I never tried.

I dont know if this thread is going to get ripped to shreds, or if anyone really cares. Also im sorry ive been delaying my "Sophie Theme" but to me this topic made the delay well worth it.
Now to the point, a while ago me and manup were trying to achieve making a theme with a palm pre like screen border. After two days of trying no avail. That was about two months ago. No i have been able to achieve this effect by editing the Titlebar shadow and the helix launcher dock. Im posting a screenshot but i will be posting a picture of the phone so you can actually see the real feel of this because the screenshot to me really isnt doing this effect any justice. So here is the screenshot.
With this thread id also like to know if this is something our theme users would like to see in furture themes.

This is a pic taken with a cliq xt i dont have a camera so i cant get a better picture of this effect.
And yes i know my screen is cracked it sucks, it works though. My deductible is 130 and cant afford atm.
Omg I didn't think it could be done! I completely understand why the screenshot doesn't do it justice, simply add a border in an image editing program and the effect will look more complete without having to be displayed on the device itself.
I recommend a thick border to about the width of the black whatever part of the screen around the Nexus. It will give people a general idea of the theme.
Edit: disregard this I guess?
Im so glad you understood that lol. The only issue is i can only achieve this effect with the helix launcher2 dock.bg and editing the titlebar shadow so the sides i cant do but really doesnt matter.

I wasn't referring to adding the border on the actual Nexus, just the screenshot you posted to demo the effect.
Ok my buddy just pointed out that this effect was achieved in the g1 theme called darkstar. lol here i was so excited.
Like the look of your stuff regardless. Will definitely give them a run as they get released on latest CM mods.
Nice to see some additional theme options coming.

Yea.. it was on that theme.. I remember having it and loving it on my G1.
The effect wasn't just on the launcher though, it was universal (all through out) most if not the entire theme. Regardless, you did a good job, it still looks nice.. don't know why no one is commenting.
This is kinda off topic but I was just curious. What app is that with the Golf flag on the green (second from the top). Thanks for the reply.
Not a fan of the battery but overall it looks great
nice! i would use/donate for this theme.
but please make a morph with blank battery so i can turn on percentage.
I like this theme,when can we test it??
looks really nice. i used to not like the icons but now they look cool. ill have to give this one a run. i was a big fan of the webOS theme for the G1 before palm said no more. i would like to see it come back to life without being shut down by palm...or ah HP.
I just hope the OP doesn't skip over my question on page one.

This is another change I ended up with by accident, when working on the text-less icons for the app drawer. This is based off of Fresh 2.1.2, but should work with any Sprint based 2.1 ROM.
I originally discarded it, but thought it might be cool to, in addition to changing the color of the app drawer & add shortcuts background from solid black to some other color (gray in this mod), to also make the background semi-transparent, so that your wallpaper shows through, and this is the end product.
XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application
THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application

I don't know, I thought it was kind of cool / different, thoughts? Anyone interested in this?

I like it because it is different - what Roms will it run on?
This should work on most Sprint-based ROMs.
It is really starting to grow on me. Here's an example using a photo type wallpaper background where you get a better sense for the "transparent factor".
It is something, I think, that looks better in real-life, as opposed to screen captures. I'll probably post a MetaMorph tomorrow.

I know this is off-topic, but how did you get the inverted notification bar? I've searched everywhere for a flashable update/MM for it.

It's right under your nose. Check the link in my sig, lol.
First post has been updated with MetaMorph control files for applying this change.
It has really grown on me and I am liking it very much. It is not too dissimilar to the semi-transparent notification menu we've grown accustomed to. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
As mentioned above, I think it looks really nice when you have a photo style wallpaper.
Added this Mod!!! I have been looking for a transparent app background for a while. You also went the extra distance and did the same thing to the shortcuts background. Just wanted to say thank you for this and it worked for fresh 2.0d. The only thing that I had to do is re-add all the widgets on my screen after the update. Thanks man keep the updates coming!

So it seems XDA was in need of a LauncherPro Dock Theme thread. Feel free to post any dock themes you have so that we may admire your work!
LauncherPro FTW!
edit: For anyone that is not aware, there is a very extensive list of these Dock Themes over at LauncherPro.com. Here is the link.
http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=854
But by all means, share here if you like.
Instructions on applying dock theme (must have LauncherPro):
1. save image from thread
2. hit menu key on phone
3. click preferences
4. click Appearance settings
5. dock background-choose custom
6. choose which background. you are all set!
yeah you can change icons in the dock and the background also......it's been like that for a while.
Here's is mine at the moment

yeah i knew about the icons but didn't know about the dock background. if people want to post what they have for dock backgrounds and maybe a d/l link that would be awesome.
ps. your dock background is pretty sweet. would like to see a sense-like one though.....anybody have something like that?
here is the one im working with now. Ill post a package with all the icons and background when I am done making it.
^i like that theme
where do we find the pics that we can edit ?

When you click the page "titles" up top you get this:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok. Here are all the icons for this.
http://www.mediafire.com/?t1oc5n1libbglan
And here are a couple wallpapers done with the overlay. Don't mind the right edge of some, it won't show up when you set it. Make sure you disable wallpaper scrolling with LauncherPro and set it to 5 icon rows.
http://www.mediafire.com/?kkiq25z988lv37v
Now, to set this up, you will need Desktop Visualizer, Smart Shortcuts (if you want the "folder" popups when you click the page name), and LauncherProPlus to resize the big icons unless you use a smaller size which might not look as good. Use DV to set the shortcuts as widgets. All of them are sized 2x1 except the big one. Set the big one first otherwise you won't have room in the end before resizing.
Edit: Forgot to post the dock earlier. It's a slightly modified version of the Weiss dock.

Edit 9/16/10: The images are now hosted on my dropbox account. Figured it would be easier than constantly zipping these up. Added a few new wallpapers and icon colors. http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/10931401/3/Android/Themes/ArtistikkEvoV1?h=b51619
I will do doing some different colors, and taking requests for icons although I did include a .psd template for those who can do their own. It does take some time to do so feel free to donate. Others have already offered.
This makes me happy....
Thanks.

When setting the shortcut action with DV, click on other, scroll to Smart Shortcuts, then pick which group you want to pop up.
Is there any way to get some more detail about set up? I've never used some of these apps. Sorry for being so new to this.
love your work man! Thanks for the contribution. Will donate soon. let me know if you need any help making the icons. I know it can be time consuming work.
