dxTop Themes

Well, it's time I start working on putting together themes for dxTop so that non-root users can use them. I'm looking for theme authors to volunteer up there themes. I'm only looking to start with themes that will work with the 2 tabs in dxTop (or you can offer up additional assets) and have 100% of the Launcher skinned including the menu icons. Check out the dxTop site for a screen shot of the two tab layout.
If you want to give me permission to convert your theme to work with dxTop, please post here with a link to your theme's thread. Also, include how you want to be credited in the description on the market.
I only plan on doing a few to start. But I will be releasing source for building a themed for dxTop.
Thanks in advance for your help! I will start on this today.
Cheers,
John

you have my permission here is my theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472812 i have it on dx now here is how it looks if you use my theme just post theme from kron2 looking forward to source for building a themes for dxTop. and looking forward to quote Themes: I was thinking that is image resources are found on the sdcard, they could be loaded instead of the default ones. This would be an easy way to skin dxTop.

Feel free to use any and all themes made by me, should you want to.

Thanks guys! I have release dxTop with theme support along with Deep Black and Glossy Minimalism.
I will be looking to add the others as time goes on.
Thanks again!

The deep black theme caused a lot of lag on my phone. When dragging from screen to screen, the icons were leaving a trail behind them. Once I uninstalled it, everything was back to normal
EDIT: Nevermind apparently its the new update to dxtop, not the theme. It started happening again, even after a reboot

how deep does the dxtop support for theming go? Is it only the icons on the desktop etc or does it extend to pattern lock buttons etc?

Question:
I currently have the Rusty Metal theme installed through flashing the update.zip. If I switched to say Deep Black through the supported theme (not through update.zip), and didn't like it. What would I get if I switched back to default? The original stock theme, or Rusty Metal same as it was before?

Going back to original will use the stock resources so if you have a rooted theme installed it will show.

Please try the latest version 1.2.3

Sorry if this has already been answered but I just can't seem to find it.
Is the non-root theme unable to replace the status bar?

Correct, it can't change the status bar.

It's cool using the dxTop them in conjunction with a regular theme.
IE, I'm using the Glossy minimalist dxTop theme with the "Glossuite" competition theme, and it's cool.
Can't wait for more themes to be ported to dxTop.

Can you pleeeeease put up CARBON GLOW.

Im not sure exactly wut your referring too but cyanogen did not create a launcher
He used one created by someone else And this theme contains the advanced launcher
That gives the option to change the number of homescreens plus other options

Lol sick theme! Not reallt feeling the demon spider on the status bar but that web is sick... if you could put a spider on the app trey instead of the words "black widow" that would be tight

this theme is sick armyranger. i have always been a huge fan of your work.

wow
Been using this theme for a couple days and I gotta say I'm very impressed... still not a fan of the skulls but everthing eles.... wow factor is in effect here ladies and gentlemen... you can just stop and the hightlighs on the home screen icons with the spider... if u want more pull that trey down and highlight something.... it shows the spider behind it... scroll down to the next notification and the pic changes according to what behind it... I like the attention to detail!... keep up the good work... by the way... in the most popular wallpaper app in the market they have a good wallpaper... just go to search and type in spiders and pres next one or twice... can't miss it. Only thing is it take away from the spider hightlight on the home screen apps... I'm sure you could tweake that though... thanks again!

correction
If you search that wallpaper put in "spider" not "spiders" it should a couple pages in on the upper left

[ICON PACK] Windows Phone Tiles. Now In (lots) Of Different colours!

I just saw a demo of windows phone 7, and i must say, the user interface is awesome.
I put together some tiles to use on your android phone with programs like desktop visualiser and other theming apps.
Most of the icons are from Albook Extended (http://stopdreaming.deviantart.com/#/d1zoewh)and were made by ~StopDreaming on deviantART, be sure to look at his work because its amazing. I just hacked around with them, removed the backgrounds and put them on colored tiles, So make sure you credit ~StopDreaming for the wonderful icons
Edit:
I couldn't help myself, went ahead and made 70+ high-res tiles, all in three different colours.
this took an insane amount of time, so I hope someone makes a nice theme or something
Edit Edit:
Ok, So people were looking for more tiles, so I cooked up about 80 more. These are all also available in crimson, as well as pink, blue and green.
wow. what a long night. Huge .zip file is below.
Edit Edit Edit:
Dock Icons!
I Made some icons specifically for your docks, in the style of windows phone.
They are really cool, I suggest you check them out.
Zipped and attached below
Version 2.0
Edit Edit Edit Edit:
UPDATED!
Ok, Added a few more colors such as Teal, Orange, Red, Purple, White, Black and Brown.
New link on 4shared, I find it more reliable than megaupload.

Nice! I just finished theming my phone, so I'll wait a while before I try, but still, very nice looking! Wish launcher pro did scenes, so I could play with a new theme, without screwing up my old one

Ok, cool. And I agree, Launcherpro would be awesome with scenes

Wouldn't it be so very cool if there was a way to convert icons into 'Hubs' ala Windows Phone 7?
Then we could create a real WP7 simulation using these great tiles.
- I may take it upon myself to create this app.

very nice, look forward to using these in a new theme
thanks for sharing!

Those icons are pretty good

Keeping it rather simple as the kids return to school and hoping to get some free time to set up a new pc for adb and such. Thanks again for sharing, I made a couple of yellow ones to go with it.

downloaded, copied to phone but they wont show other icons show fine.
Edit, sorted, i copied the max osx versions over.

really nice icons .
making a new theme here hehe ^^ based on windows phone 7 .

Just made a lockscreen out of this, still working out how to make the rest of the theme.

Ok, made an angry birds icon, not sure which one is better. Here they are if anyone wants them.

[Q] Help create a Steampunk theme...?

Ok folks, my friend just got a hero and we were talking about why to root. I showed him several ROMs from this site and all the cool themes. We got to talking about how cool it would be if there was a STEAMPUNK themed ROM out there.
Here's the rub... I SUCK at theming.
I looked at the "buufed" rom and I like some of the style, but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. Props to the developer of that ROM because it's very thorough. This is the depth I'd like the Steampunk theme to have, but I just don't know how to do it. I've never built a ROM from the ground up, so I don't even know where to start.
Is anyone out there interested in a project like this, or could someone help me know what to do?
Thanks!
-mb

+1
A steam punk theme would be pretty awesome

It has begun...
Ok... I have a great deal of respect for all you devs and themers out there. This is a beast. Time-consuming and not very forgiving...
I have started working on my steampunk theme. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far. By no means is this a complete theme. I am using ZenHeroFX 2.0 by nfinitefx45 as my base. Credit to all artists/devs for their work.
I have themed the notification pull-down as well, but I don't have a screenie of that yet. Also, I themed the stock sense rosie, but (again) no screencap yet. I'm curious what y'all think...
-mb

Looks cool so far.

Wow. You're a fast learner! Here are some clear notification bar icons that I made. You can use them so that the black squares wont show up around the icons in the notification bar. Just unzip the zip file, and you'll see the folders that the icons are supposed to go into. Good luck!

This is looking really good. Here's another theme I found a while back that has some of the same elements of csrom and your current build. I've never used it, but maybe something in there will help you, or maybe this dev can help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478570

wow! this looks ... awesome! not usually an "extreme theme" kinda guy, but this I would use!
sadly though, I am using CM6 or AOSP, so would not actually end up using it, but I will be watching this thread for S&Gs anyway. the end result should look spectacular.
if I could add one "suggestion"? Get rid of the "branding" (SteamMod in big letters on the lockscreen?), I would think ppl would rather have something less intrusive in the look. I know I would. something clean and mechanical. just a IMHO kinda suggestion, great work regardless!

No problem-o... I appreciate the suggestion. Funny thing, too... I was using some of the mods from this on my daily use, and I thought "I need to take off that lettering 'cuz it's getting on my nerves." I'm just going to use it as the splash screen when sense loads rather than on the lock screen.
I have to take a break from this for a couple of days, but hopefully I can work on it some next week. Here's where I'm going to have most of my problems... DISTRIBUTION. I can theme my own phone b/c I know what I'm editing... I just am not sure how to make it so others can use it without bricking their phone. Any ideas? I hate Metamorph... was thinking more of a flashable zip? Or maybe just a themed version of a full ROM? ??

I may be way off, but I'm a Hero user and digital scrap "designer". I have photographed and extracted some Steampunk watch parts that you are welcome to use if you like for your theme.

The DL links are right below the pics for each post. Again, if I'm way off and you think my stuff sucks, disregard this post!
I love your theme btw!

I know, still a theme though, i have a proper icon pack with individual icons in the works but i only have around 100 for that, there's a free version with 50 already on the store, i just need to build up my icon collection first. I thought that icon masks would be better to start with because i don't really know a lot about coding.

Looks good! It's always great to see a new themer/dev around here. I do agree that an actual icon is better than a mask but then again I don't even know how to do that! Stick with it:good luck ?
