Like a few people out there, I LOVE VillainROM v5.4, it is by far the best ROM I have tried for my Hero. But unfortunately I am NOT a fan of it's stock (blue) theme. So I have set about modifying it for my own needs.
This started as just a personal project but since a few people have expressed the same views as me I have decided to share my Theme Mod, I call it PettyCriminal for VillainROM.
Please bear in mind, that this has ONLY been made for Villain5.4, and that is the only ROM it has been tested on (although it may well work on other ROMS too). This is also my first ever attempt at making anything for android, so please let me know if something doesn't work correctly (I have tested it and it seems to work fine for me).
The theme itself simply changes pretty much everything in the stock 5.4 theme from Blue to Green, including battery meter, buttons etc, I have NOT just reverted back to the old 5.3 theme, this is the ACTUAL new theme, just re-colourised (I really wanted to keep the notification swipe-down!). I have also restored the original driod smileys that I missed so much The last change is the Lock screen, which I have reverted back to the standard HTC (Bannana-Curve) lock screen.
Here is the theme (flash it in recovery) for those of you that wish to try it out! (I am using this right now with no problems).
Megashares 0.7
Megaupload 0.7
More mirrors would be appreciated!

[NOTE]
For those people that are complaining about theme theft etc... The basis of this theme was NOT created by me, it is the amazing SenseVillain theme created by Tristan. I am modifying it by changing a few components here and there and re-colouring the base of the theme from blue to green. I have NEVER claimed that this is my sole original work, in the same way that any theme modder will use SOMETHING as a base, I have used SenseVillain, this is a homage to Tristans work, and is definately not a negative reflection on what he has done.
[Versions]
0.2 - Intitial release to the public.
- Lockscreen changed back to stock HTC one (Curved Drag)
- Emotes changed to green "Droid" emotes.
- Lots of stuff converted from blue to green.
0.3 - Update to Rosie and Phone.
- Fixed "Blue Droid" when calling (or receiving a call from) an unsaved contact and made him green. (Thanks to melodaf for pointing this out!)
- Fixed blue background when selecting widgets to add o the home screen. (Thanks to melodaf for noticing this one too!)
0.4 - Update to Settings App & Widgets and Browser
- Re-coloured Settings app (list icons are now green again) (Thanks to dont know for pointing this out)
- Re-coloured Settings widgets for homescreen (Green now too) (Thanks to dont know again)
- Re-coloured browser components from blue back to green
0.5 - Possible Fix for Application Menu Error
- Applied the Villain Application Menu patch and re-colourised, this error should now be gone! Please test and let me know as I could not replicate this issue.
0.6 - Lots of stuff gone green!
Music Widget - Re-Coloured
Twitter Widget - Re-Coloured
Calendar Application - Re-Coloured
Mail Application - Re-Coloured "Attatched Audio" Icon
HTC Setup Wizard - Re-Coloured (Just in case you ever wish to run it again)

0.7 - Holy crap, thats a lot of changes...
Re-coloured more notification icons on the top bar. GPS, incoming call icons etc are now green.
Default package icon is now green.
Re-coloured Peep (Twitter app) and re-added droid smileys.
Re-coloured g-sensor calibration utility from blue to green.

Re-coloured the HTC MSG widget.
Re-coloured the primary music application (yes, the music note is now grey again, not blue or green)
Re-coloured the stream player app.
Changed the blue tick in the package installer to green.
Re-coloured the "USB Connectivity" menu.
Re-coloured HTC Updater aplication.
Re-coloured the android setup wizard.
Re-coloured the Market application (most of it was fine, just did some fine tuning).
Re-coloured blue handset icon in the voice dialling app.
Re-coloured the world clock.
HTC Lock Screen: I have re-coloured the "Snooze button" on the HTC lock screen when the alarm goes off. If you have removed the HTCLockscreen.apk in order to get the Eclair lockscreen, then this WILL put it back. You will have to remove it again. Sorry!
Re-coloured the desk clock application.
Some components coloured a little more accurately, messy bits tidied up.

Dude, AWESOME !!!
It fix everything that the 5.4 theme messed up (even gtalk smileys )
Total thumbs up !
I just notice one thing missing. The avatar that appears when you make a call to someone without a picture still remains that ugly blue android wannabe, not a true green Android like stock.
but I am so happy with all the green back to action that I don't even care to that,
Thank you so much man.

Thanks for the feedback If I only made one person happy then I'm a happy man myself! I will look into the blue android image (I hadn't seen that myself, but I just tried and it does the same on mine) and see if I can fix that too. I'll post an update when I've fixed it.

Come on guys I appreciate that not everyone likes the blue but a lot of very hard work went into making that theme.
Nice work with greening it up for the ones that didn't like the blue but lets stop with the adverse comments.

I haven't posted any adverse comments? I have only noted that I wasn't keen on the theme (as is usually the case when I buy a new phone with a stock theme), I actually REALLY like the theme itself (the swipe-down notification list is awesome), I just didn't like the blue shading for some reason, it just didnt appeal to me, and I'm just fond of the curved Lockscreen too . This isn't intended to "make it better", just as an alternative for those people who weren't keen.
You even have a Themes section in the OTE Updater so I can't imagine you are against us theming this great ROM are you?

Isn't this a little pointless as Nathan has said himself just yesterday that he's releasing 5.4 without the theme...

Some information for the future:
All future VillainROMs will be released with the STOCK SENSE theme.
Additional themes will be included in the first post, and available via OTA updates in the very near future.

I actually LIKE the theme for the most part. The status icons at the top are great, the bars are really fluid, the notification swipe-down is lovely. I just wanted green instead of blue, and to replace the lockscreen!
IMO I prefer this now to stock rosie any day!
Zeb
I hate to be getting down on you for this coz you've obviously put a bit of effort in, but having a second look at your screenshots if I were tristan I'd be totally pissed about this. The poor guy went to a alot of work creating his theme originally and has done a brilliant job in making so many changes(even though it may not be everyones cup of tea, I've done a few alterations to it for myself), now all you've done is recolour it, set a lockscreen wallpaper and call it your own. I can't see a single original bit of input.
Give credit where it's due, thats all I'm saying.

Updated to version 0.4, more stuff re-coloured! See first post for info.

Your battery icon? Where? The one at the top? It will go red when the battery is low, but fully charged it should be green.

All,
This is my first attempt as modding a theme.. I think I did a good job..
I took the PDVista PocketCM theme with PD's permission and modded the graphics. I also got help from DvTonder to correct the mail icon issue with the newer version of PocketCM.
This will work with PocketCM .21 - .23
This looks just like the HTC Diamond, background, pop up icons on the bottom, etc..
If someone wants to do the graphics over, be my guest.. I would love to play more but don’t have the time.. I spend like a week and change to get things where they are now..
Graphics that need to be done over:
Dial pad needs to be done in gloss black
Dial pad "pressed" buttons need to be done over in gloss black
Menu "pressed" buttons need to be done over with the fancy black diamond theme icon (I included it in the zip).
The icons on the main contact menu need to be done over in gloss black.
This theme has a Greatbal Diamond Look.
Eazy
great work thanks you
guess nobody was really interested..
Wooooooooooooo!
theme now switched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this gets better and better!

Where can I download the standalone version of PocketCM?
I tried using the search on here but it sucks. It just brings up a bunch of threads for themes.
Thanks!

What do you mean, lol. Hush your mouth, lol. Many are interested. Your theme inspired me to use pocketcm all over again, lol. Thanks and look forward to more of your work.
Edit: I noticed your theme is a large one, almost a 1mb. Which I imagine the larger the file (theme) the slower it starts up. Nice theme though.
It looks sweet. The only thing that I don't like about it is that I can't see the phone numbers on the contact screen without scrolling down to it.
A little bit too dark for my taste, as I was using a diamond theme but with white background, but since this one doesn't have the bugs my previous one had I'm changing now, thank you and good work
Wow! Just downloaded pocketcm and your theme rocks! I'm a noob.... anyway to incorporate the text messaging from pocketcm into the standard texting from spb shell using one of the themes people have posted... (such as diamond theme?)
this looks good
will try it once i reinstall pocketcm --- testing icontact right now - and i dont like it
o nooooooooooooooooooooo!
skin turns aqua blue in letter spaces between contacts.and the menu to close and pick options never fully rises. now i'm sickbest skin for this app i seen yet.
What can I say.... EXCELLENT.
Hello,
I just installed it on htc Touch and the color of the font is BLACK for all contacts. So, I can not see any. The color needs to be set to WHITE. Thanks.
looks nice, thanks man, working on my prophet

I use it on my Mogul and it seems to be fine. It's not so bad on startup and I found that it only uses up about 2 mbs of memory.

Honestly, i got tired of reading the whole text message and could not figure out how to disable the auto show phone number with contacts option and make it come up when you select it in the options. so i just made it black, i can change it and upload two diff copies for you guys. If someone can look at the code and tell me what the option is to give the control back to the options "show contacts with phone number" i will change it.

hi,
one problem i have and not sure if other has the same. In the option i check on "contact without phone" but it still show phone number. I would like to only show just the name.
I have AT&T Tilt
Thanks
problem with menu that comes up from holding down the far right button. doesnt come up all the way. anyone else have this problem? i would also prefer highlighting that menu in a different color than hot pink. excellent job overall.
Can you change the font for the phone numbers to be white instead of black? Then it would be perfect

Before installing this theme you must have the Lite version of JF 1.42 RC33, which can be found here.
This is my most complete theme thus far which includes icons, a menu bar, status bar images, etc. (Even a custom blue android during bootup)
My wife directed this theme and gave tips which probably made it better
If theres anything you notice that needs to be corrected or if you have suggestions, please leave feedback. Thanks!
Download - Theme (Updated - 2/18/2009)
Download - Wallpaper
Updates:
- Trimmed bottom line from menu launcher.
- Changed menu launcher arrows to white rather than transparent.
- Corrected folder distortion.
- Corrected Wallpaper Gallery crash.
- Corrected landscape mode menu arrows. (New)
downloading now, will give feedback after I gave it a good walk through...looks great from the screen shot.
there is no pictures icon....other than that its cool. really slick and i love the clock.
Any chance on going systemwide with this likethe buuf themes and the vintage themes? cause this looks realllllly good.

Thanks for the feedback, yea i'm having trouble finding the pictures icon file lol, still searching though. I do plan on going systemwide and adding more to it little by little.
well keep it up....great work.
Im also not personally a fan of the status bar. but only because im not a fan of gradients, doesnt really detract from the theme at all.

I've located the pictures icon and will have an update in a few mins. I'm pretty sure i'll be changing the status bar and drop down bar to match the clock a bit more.
aiight, love the changes...one flaw now...the top bar for the folders....must be coded wrong or something because once selected it becomes distorted severely. I'll post a screenshot.
Thats why we dont edit .9.png files, unless you know the technique that someone has posted here somewhere.
well hopefully he figures it out or someone helps him out with it....its a good theme. and if he figures it out and goes system wide it could be a GREAT theme.
Up until this point, I've never seen a theme that looked slick enough to actually use, without being too niche. I've been tirelessly searching for a theme that just looked good, but wasn't too over-the-top. However, this theme struck me as just that, and installing it as my first theme, I must say I'm impressed.
I only have two complaints -- firstly, as mentioned, the top of the folder menu becomes distorted when selected. Secondly, I would like to see the blue color scheme more deeply integrated into the phone, replacing the orange color when making a selection, if possible. I recall seeing it in a theme somewhere else, so I believe it can be done. I know working with the .9. files are tricky, but I feel that with a little more effort, this can be an A+ theme.
Changing the music icons (Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists) would also be nice, if only changing the icons from green to blue.
Also, I find the background to be just a little too much. I think this one would make a good default; it meshes nicely with the color scheme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=150891&d=1233074919
Thanks all for the feedback, its appreciated. Ill definately fix up the folder bar and start incorporating some additional icons to the music window & player, etc. Ill post an update soon today with the changes for the folder.
Excellent looking theme, honestly its beautiful, but I always have trouble downloading from megaupload so maybe if you could change the filehosting site to something more convenient that would be awesome. Don't stop making themes, you clearly have a gift 8D
I generally don't post a lot of feedback. I have just recently started my first theme. And didn't feel that posting feedback till I was contributing to the site was truely justified. (My upcoming theme is a US Presidential theme. With heads of presidents as icons....hopefully I can manage it.)
Back on topic now. I love the theme. It is my newest downloaded theme and my favorite. My only notice is when you go "menu" "wallpaper" "wallpaper gallery" it force closes android desktop. When I choose pictures instead of gallery it works perfect. I know its small, but thought I would let you know. Even with this, I love the theme. Wife wants to know if you have it in Pink, lol. Keep up the great work.

One other issue I've noticed with the theme is that on the very, very bottom of the home screen, there's a bright blue line going across horizontally -- the top of the pull-out drawer. While this may have been your intention, I personally find it a bit distracting. Just my opinion. I feel the theme would be a tad bit better-looking if the line was simply not there, like with the stock appearance.

I've made alot of the changes requested. There still are many changes to come.
about to update now
in portrait mode the arrow on the app slider drawer tab is off center.
other than that...the wallpaper gallery and the folder fix everything seems exactly the same.
still a great theme.

As far as the arrow in landscape mode, I'll fix that up as soon as I'm back home. I'll have an update up at about 2am most likely. Let me know if you notice anything else so I can patch it up too. Thanks.
Call me picky but, I just couldn't seem to find a theme that I really liked. Android 2.0 comes close but I liked the red of the blur ROM - so, wanting a red-ish theme and a smaller app drawer at the bottom, I decided to make my own theme.
I also seem to be a bit of a rarity in that in the main, I actually like the default status bar icons so I don't feel it necessary to make the battery round or android shaped or anything. So, on mine, the battery looks like a battery...I dunno, seemed kinda logical to me ;-) I added a little touch of colour to some of them but nothing OTT I don't think (I really like my 3G activity icon now - reminds me of an old modem with status LED's
There are a couple of things that I pinched out of other people's ROMs (gmail icon from djengiz), widget background from ZilverZurfarn's melange theme but most of it has either been replaced or re-coloured by me
Thanks to everyone I've nicked stuff from and anyone else I haven't "credited".
And, of course, a big thanks to Cyanogen for his awesome ROMs
It runs OK for me - I've only got a G1 so use it on anything else at your own risk.
Guarantees :
1) I will mysteriously disappear should this break everyone's phones.
2) I probably can't fix it if it doesn't work (mention it anyway though)
3) That it will not work on your Nokia N95
4) Or your Sony Ericsson C905
5) That I've not finished tweaking it
Todo list:
=======
*** Status bar background - re-thinking the brushed metal look - let me know what you think about this
*** Power widget background (still using ZilverZurfarn's but want to get my own there ASAP)
* Browser link shortcut icon needs re-colouring (forgot for this one)
** Analogue Clock Widget
* App drawer handle needs "tidying" - I'm not as happy as i could be with it
Hope you like it - let me know how it works out for you.

Cheers,
Smiffy.
Update to 4.2.5
============
I've re-done most, if not all of the icons that I just pinched from the blur ROM and I've been a bit more selective of the stuff that I've recoloured as I thought it was looking a little too dark previously. I've also taken out a lot of the un-used png's that have been hanging around as the ROMs have developed.
I initially used the Android 2.0 theme as a template for mine and there were a few files in there that could come out and some from the blur ROM that I'd copied over and weren't used on the G1. Oh, and I've also deleted all thumbs.db files in all my drawables folders - so it should be a little smaller now and putting less un-needed crap on your phones.
I've been using this myself for a couple of days now and not had any FCs at all so I think you're good to go
Theme-porn follows:
I do love the design of the power widget, I may have to steal that for my alienaqua theme, it has similar colors.
Really nice choice of colors, great job on this and reading the post made me laugh. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work.
This looks real stylish.
A lot of nice details and as prash said: the power widget is beautiful.
that lock screen is sick. one of the best i have seen !
Edit: just realised it was from the 2.0 theme lol. but nice the anyways
hey what lockscreen is that?
I just downloaded this theme, and the app drawer tab for me is still the same as cyanogen's stock one that he had and not like the android 2.0 type tab you have in the screenshots. any thoughts on how to get it to look like that?
It includes both the Advanced Launcher and the standard one - if when you press the home key, it doesn't give you the choice, use the application manager to remove the default setting (you can switch back if you don't like it).
I originally wasn't going to used the advanced launcher but it is much more stable these days and I haven't had any problems or slow down with it.
It's the only one of the two that I have skinned so far - I will update it in the next day or two so that they are both skinned
Thanks for the positive comments everyone This was only something I was doing for myself but like someone mentioned above, it's in the details and I wasn't happy with only doing a few bits and pieces so I went further and reached a point where I was happy to share it with others.
There's still a few things I want to do yet but I'm having the weekend off and will get back to it on Monday
If it i can leave it alone for that long... ;-)
Cheers,
Smiffy.
great looking theme!
lockscreen looks good but dont function nicely
I am not too crazy about the red but otherwise this is a really good looking theme. It's very fast and stable.. no force closes or other crashes yet. Great work!
I just installed this theme over CyanMod 4.2.4. It works well with no issues so far.
Well, there's a few new icons in 4.2.4 so I've updated my theme and played with a lot of the new stuff.
It's working OK for me with no FCs but caveat emptor and all that...
Thanks for all the positive comments. I've also gone back to the standard lock screen for the time being - as much as I didn't care about the stretching issue in landscape, I wasn't overly happy about nicking someone else's work so I may do my own in the near future.
Might not though so don't hold your breath or anything - in fact, I actually like this standard one...we'll see.
Oh, and about the analogue clock - I'm going to make it slightly darker but not do much more than that to it - do people even use it?
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Update to 4.2.5
============
I've re-done most, if not all of the icons that I just pinched from the blur ROM and I've been a bit more selective of the stuff that I've recoloured as I thought it was looking a little too dark previously. I've also taken out a lot of the un-used png's that have been hanging around as the ROMs have developed.
I initially used the Android 2.0 theme as a template for mine and there were a few files in there that could come out and some from the blur ROM that I'd copied over and weren't used on the G1. Oh, and I've also deleted all thumbs.db files in all my drawables folders - so it should be a little smaller now and putting less un-needed crap on your phones.
I've been using this myself for a couple of days now and not had any FCs at all so I think you're good to go
Cheers,
Smiffy.
A random theme I was working on, More so for the ladies but to eaches own..
No confirmed name. Grape fizz was the misses suggestion. I re-worked the NeonGT port I did, basically an inverted NeonGT. There may be things I am missing or have not done yet.
I just want to put it out there and see if there is an interest for this and will try to update according to feedback.
For now it was meant to try and be minimally invasive, as to not break any other mods you may currently have.
As of now only tested on EB01!
Eb01 Grape fizz! 6 Lockscreen's (beta)- 03/19/2011
This is a patch that can be applied over 1.1 and will give you sbrissen's and/or TSM's latest 6 lock mod themed accordingly. This also includes the aosp music controls as well.
Since sbrissen is calling it beta, a beta it will be..
Also resolved several mentioned issues along with some non-mentioned issues.
A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!
EB01 Grape fizz! 5 Lock - 1.1 - 03/06/2011
added JobManager.apk
reworked the font color scheme
remapped status bar pulldown (Notifications! banner is the clear button now)
removed transparency on Contacts.apk (remains in dialer)
Optional:
adrynalyne's remapped google voice dialer - http://bit.ly/dGXwpp
Popup menu rework - Patch-01 - http://bit.ly/gdqKF0 - 03/18/2011
EB01 Grape fizz! 5 Lock - 1.0 - 03/01/2011
Added Contacts.apk
cleaned up a bunch of images
more font color adjustments in the main framework
preview images below updated as well
This contains the full theme!
A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!
Known Bugs:
-----------
pulldown icon text turns white when activated
Themed files include:
app
---
Contacts.apk
DialerTabActivity.apk
DownloadProvider.apk
JobManager.apk
MediaProvider.apk
Settings.apk
framework
---------
android.policy.jar
services.jar
twframework.jar
framework-res.apk
twframework-res.apk
Credits/Thanks:
Jumba, re-worked his images
adrynalyne, for the stock roms and gv dialer
sbrissen, for the 5 lock screens, hide clock & am/pm mods
everyone else that makes it possible for us to even theme are phones
Beta Versions!
Grape Fizz 5 Lock - beta.03 - 02/28/2011
Beta 03 now contains sbrissen's 5 lock screen and clock mods! The list of files themed has been updated.
This should address the majority of the white text issues as well as the clock in the status bar. It is a rather system wide change though so it may change other things.
A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!
Grape Fizz - beta .01 - 02/27/2011
A dalvik-cache wipe is recommended!

Very nice looking. There is a themed purple market floating around somewhere in the Droid X section. That would probably be a good addition.
Not a fan of purple, but a slick looking theme nonetheless
im sure there are some pink/purple fans out there that will appreciate this ...good work as always
Keep up the good work!
I'm not a purple guy myself (got your neon port on my phone this week) but my mom likes it. Nice work.
Justin beiber would be all over this.
I love it. Thank you~ It's so hard to find a girly theme. Haha. This one is the best one I've found so far! Just a couple requests if you don't mind: 1. The browser address bar: It's hard to see the address because it's black font on black background unless we select it. I was wondering if you can just change it to white background with dark purple font color? 2. The dial pad: when you punch in numbers, the numbers come out white. I was wondering if you can change it to the same color as the numbers on the dial pad or even the pink color that comes out with the contacts when you press the numbers?
Actually, playing around with my phone a bit more, I found that there are a lot of white fonts on white background (google navigation, quick search as mentioned) Is it possible to change all those white fonts?
Everything else seems to be great. Thank you once again!

Thanks for pointing those out. I just went to town and changed so many things on a wim. Now I gotta back trace and tidy up. Just wanted to make sure there was enough of a market so to say to go much farther.
I definitely appreciate the feedback, I don't run this so it helps. I'm fine with your suggestions but option 2 was purple at one point and with transparency and a similar color background, it was slightly hard to read. But hey, I have no problem changing it. Thank you!
Also too, I have another version done with sbrissen's 5lock and hide clock options and a few more apk's as well. I will get it upped and linked soon.
Thank you!
I updated the OP to beta 03. It now contains sbrissen's work with the clock and lock screens. So a few more apk's getting purpilized...

Just to confirm the browser address bar is white now right?
So just need to check the black text and go purple and same for white text in dialer.

I also have Contacts.apk mostly done. Just need to finish up some 9's. As soon as I can get it done I'll post an update and probably no need for beta then.
Truthfully, I was kinda scared! I thought the ladies were gonna be brutal on me..

Actually, the address bar turns black with back font after the page loads. Put this theme on my mom's fascinate last night. She loves it too Thanks again!
Well msjudyfoo, the background should be white with black text. I could be confused with something I haven't released yet though.
Anyhow, I updated the OP and just went to version 1.0 so hopefully all is well.
The purple font increased, but I did not address the browser bar as of yet. Thanks again!
Really hope you do an inverted version.

Well that would just turn into neongt
To clear the air, some of you may remember me mentioning a fire n ice theme. Well, this phone brought on a whole lot of new hobbies for me so I finally got to rebuild my pc. Well improper backup just shredded a bunch of my files.
So I'm kinda have to start new with a bunch of things. lessen learned!
But it would be purple! lol, it looks awesome man, im gonna have to flash it later.
▐▄▀▄▀▌2 NEW Themes for Testing / 2 Possible Added: 3/26
WELCOME
as i have stated in my ELse theme thread i have been working on some cool new themes for Throttle Launcher...
they dont all work great and they are very simple so far...
so no major mind blowing features...
i do plan on refining them to get them to work nicely for everyone though..
ONLY WVGA AND WQVGA for both
i am also working on a neat idea i had for straping my TD2 to my wrist with a strap... and using it as a glorified Wristwatch..!!!
so i am custom making a WVGA theme for this purpose... its really only practical for the TD2 as it is so thin ...
other phones way to bulky !!!!
i will upload some pics soon... but in the meantime here are the themes for you guys to get all worked up about and to beg me for the next two months to finish
is called Freedom Fone... for now...
cool features.. slide down on the screen to activate the lockscreen
and the awesome CLOCK!!!
_____________-
thats its for now... enjoy
TWO MORE THEMES IN THE WORKS!!!!!!
ZUNE PHONE
look how similar the TD2 and the ZUNE HD look!!!!
PSP PHONE... maybe if im creative enough!!!
no zip's yet.... be patient....
if you want these just post a message which one you prefer to have done!!!
reservado tambien...
y reservado
Liking the Lacuna theme... patiently awaiting tweaks.
I would like kinetic scrolling in the mesages section (like in friends section) if possible.
Huge potental in this theme. I am looking forward to future releases.
hey trekfan, very very nice... i actually dont really miss ELSE anymore with these ones in the mix
u r such a creative genius!
at this stage: im liking the lacuna theme, but this may change over the course of the next couple of days/weeks
ok some initial thoughts/feedback:
freedom fone:
clock:loving it! if you could select program to open that would be good!
date: the digits for the date dont look that great... would be good if i can i open calendar if i click on the date
phone: not implemented yet? at this stage it goes to start menu (im sure you know)
messages: would be good to be able to select sms program to use
calendar: the appointment subject and the location of the appointments seem to overlap. if we could select the program to open when we click on an item that would be great
menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
lockscreen: HOT!
other:
-how about next alarm info?
-how about adding a tab for email? or being able to choose what tabs u show on the home screen?
lacuna:
clock: next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
friends: favorites would be very good, especially if you have a lot of friends
text: i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
mail: im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
-the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
first to jaeskil...
yes i wil have kinetic for messages... but uits not working right now
wil_dee
you share my visions.....almost all of those things are planned implementations....
glad everyone likes lacuna.... its my favorite too
i really eager to know how the notification will be like in lacuna themes...also can u put the refresh button to message page....thanks...love ur themes...

Click to expand...

for the notifications...
see the little blue rectangle in the top right....???
when a new text or email or event is up.... another blue rectangle will appear a little under the first one with words to the left of it.... saying "1 new message" or "1 new email" or whatever and when yo u click it it will take you to the throttle launcher page for the corresponding notification first ... rather then straight jump to the app of your choice.
kinda like this...
im not sure how to implement the refresh button but i will try...
lacuna lockscreen....
will look like this.
notification style for the lockscreen is undecided...
it will actually be the first page when the launcher shows up... this is so it can have the nice scroll effect...
Liking Lacuna keep it simple and you have a winner there
Did you make the changes we discussed to the FF clock images yet?
It looks like as mentioned in someone elses thread custom images are going to be needed for the date as well.
in your config the theme is still defined as switchblade as well - only checked to see if I got a mention
*edit* have now taken a look at both themes
the first thing that needs to be done is an editable and selectable wallpaper option to be inserted into both, now on to specifics
Freedom Fone does appear to be roughly where we left it, I have tried several ways and cannot figure out how to get the image for contacts to appear next to the messages. Otherwise it is a good solid clean theme which just needs the little touches mentioned above.
Lacuna (where did the name come from?) is NICE sooo simple and clean, congrats. The only thing I have found so far is the text page and most likely the mail page can be moved around when pressing on a message, I think this is due to the frame for the messages being larger than the text size illustrated by the fact that characters are being lost off the right hand side.
On the negative, I dont think the bottom right button fits the rest of the theme and I think you should look to develop an alternative take on the taskbar. You have the graphical talent and now the xml experience to pull off something more original.
There are a few things I would do differently with this theme, perhaps I can have your permission to use the base to create my own take on it please

lol... but seriously... in Music a Lacuna is an extended silence in the piece.... and i keep thinking in my head if i had a commercial for this theme ... it would be a build up of classical symphony while a black background with fading words discribe things we look for in a simple theme.... and finally when the screen shows up and does some stuff a Lacuna is the only way of matching the visual appeal... with stunned silence..lol
i should be in the ad market buisness..

the text page has been such a pain in the a$$ i only set scrolling mode to Paged cause in Kinetic it moves around so easily from left to right... i cant figure out why...
i was gonna hold off releasing it until i fixed it... but after 26 different trys i gave up...
was actually hoping u could have a look at it for me...

couldn't agree more with the bottom button and the task bar... i am def. changing em..
but the whole idea of the sliding using the "pagebreaks" i am keeping..

im kinda scarred cuase you will pwn me at it.... but okay...
can i ask a favor though...
could you release it after i get my 15 min. of fame...
Of course I will take a look, I am in "work" tonight and have been itching for a new project.
What I meant by the wallpaper is to set something up in the config to allow users to specify a wallpaper for the theme, not sure how this will work for a page broken theme though but it will be fun to find out.
and thanks for letting me abuse it once i'm done

yeah that sounds fine...
cause i was thinking it would be cool to take a widescreen picture ... split it up into like 4 pieces and give each page xml the next piece... so it looks like the wallpaper scrolls....
good work=)
i m going to try them on my x1 to check if they run smoothly
looking forward to ur next works
If you are a Fan of the Lacuna theme...
checkout the second post for two new Lacuna Boot Screens...
one does a single loop.... the other loops forever...
enjoy

We are interested, and continuously we watch! Problems are noticed - we wait for progress!
Thanks for work!!!
lacuna lover
dear trekfan,
im so in love with lacuna. please continue developing it. its simplicity makes it special so stick to that. the scrolling wallpaper sounds great! i do agree with the posters above me regarding the improvements. also, it will be better if the link to the start menu can be customized to, let's say your favorite apps, or more pages. will love to test for more updates.
thanks!

Is it possible to remember us (the qvga people)?
