Hi All,
I have been trying some themes for some time. They all have cons and pros. Sometimes, I love the lock screen of the theme but the icons are too dark or vice-versa. So, what I am curious is: Is there a way to use a theme's only lock screen along with my default theme or with any other theme? What I am trying to use is the lock screen of "sd-Black" theme.
Regards
Unfortunately, right now the themes are an "all or nothing" thing. It's been that way since the theme store launched sadly.

Sad to hear that. It would be nice to customize themes accordingly.
Thank you Devhux.

You can run a 3rd party launcher and then run an icon pack. However, you're still stuck with the notification area theme and the rest of the colors (ie - messaging app, menus, etc...).
I wanted a nice black background with very subdued clock and non-flashy icons for camera/phone on my lock screen. I also wanted nice black notification dropdown and black everything. Tried SD-black but the color on the clock for the lock screen killed it, for me. Turns out you can't mod your icons with icon packs with the default launcher. But by using Nova launcher, MINU black edition theme, and Candycons icon pack, my UI is how I want it, the lock screen is how I want it, and I use the icons I like.
You can always change the background on both home screen and lock screen, too. Regardless.

Thank you Str0ntium.
Actually, that lock screen is what I want But it turns out, I can't have it apart from the theme. I am using default theme and icons (I like them) but I changed the backgrounds with something dark.

I am going to start working on a CM-Froyo-Theme for when Google finally decides to drop the source and we get some blue bubblegum flavored Froyo.
I want some community suggestions as to what you would like to see in it.
Tell me about colors, Icons, etc.
Notification Bar?
Launcher?
Just post it. I am going to start working next week as school is over for me. I will incorporate the best Ideas from you guys.
- Black notification bar with KSpec like battery icon, maybe in Cyan, and with the battery percentage remaining in the center.
- Black and shiny pop up prompt windows and notification pull down.
- 7 space power control widget with cyan colored dots (instead of bars)
- I like launcher Pro, but have not tried ADW and that seems to be fairly popular. I personally like the non-3D app drawer. 5x4 icon setup on home screen is nice too.
- I like when you pull down the notification bar that is says notifications at the bottom.
- Maybe some transparent widgets
- Lots of wallpaper choices
- Lots of ringtones etc.
Looking forward to see what you come up with, even if it doesn't include any of the above.
Also a launcher pro fan. Some other guy has some super nice dialer that is a simplistic white which I really liked. It is on a desire rom. I am a fan of the more minimalistic kind of themes personally.
Glad to see you are starting early. Will try to add some actually useful comments tomorrow when I get up...
title pretty much says it all.
i was wondering if there are any themes that have a black notification bar instead of the ol' white one. im currently using GO Launcher theme and i am rooted.
as for the second part: i wanna change my icons in the app drawer to different icons. like when u pull up the drawer and see all system apps and other apps. is there a way to change those icons without having to apply a theme?
When you use your own wallpapers on home and Lockscreen, the lock screen has a transparent white overlay that makes the wallpaper look really bad. Is there any way or mod to get rid of it so that the walls look rigth? Thanks for any imput.
im running mickys mm rom and dont like the (new?) folder icons.
im running a rather dark desktop theme, so the icons should be darker, smaller or transparent..
i am able to change most of the other app icon via icon packs but the icons of the app folders/collections remain ugly. it might even suffice if i could change the icons color or transparacy. so far the only way is to choose a color of a handful of pastel shades for the folder itself.
any ideas? do i loose anything like the edge screen if i choose another launcher like nova over touchwiz?
Is there a place to download themes for the oppo?
ones that include change in the background of the notification bar etc?
I can see a theme section in settings and it says downloaded themes. Though not where to download them from
Yep ! +1 !
I put some themes (that found on the Oppo Find X section) manually in the "Themes" folder on the internal memory but no success, they didn't appears on the themes settings in the phone. It looks like there's no official Theme Store like for the previous Oppo Phones.... don't know why they removed it
There was definitely a theme store for the Australian versions of the phone it's called mytap theme store it also has a magazine lock with different wallpapers on the lock screen but since downloading euro firmware that all disappeared which is weird.

was that just wallpapers and icons? or did it change the Notification bar background etc?
It's strange that the Settings background is a nice flat black. Though the notification background is an ugly grey.

Yeah it was just icons and wallpapers. You can't change the notification panel.
It's not that bad though
