Theme created to be used by MetaMorph, please don't try to flash the file. The .zip is attached to the post.
(TL;DR)
I was trying to make a minimalistic theme for my phone without modding anything, but those green Gingerbread icons were cramping my style. So I went and made these simple manual modifications for just myself, because, surprisingly, I found them nowhere else online, so I'm releasing them packaged so they can be applied using MetaMorph.
I realize that the world does not in fact revolve around me, and that you guys use different applications/do different things, so that's why I intend to keep this "updated". Please request any icons and I will make them and add them in updates.
(/TL;DR)
(READ, YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT)
I've only used this package on Serendipity 4.3, but the icon files should be universal, however I will not make any promises. If you're brave enough, please test this on your phone and get back to me. I'll keep a list of compatible phones in the second post as well.
Also note that the LauncherPro dock and icons are not currently packaged with this theme. When I get to it (sometime later today/tomorrow), I will upload another zip with anything necessary for LauncherPro.
Same goes for my lockscreen. I'm using a modded WidgetLocker, and I will upload the files sometime later today or tomorrow, but I will not upload the APK, as it's a paid app.
I'll write up a tutorial on how to mod WidgetLocker in the third post.

The changelog can be found in the second post!
Currently themed:
Gmail (status icons only)
framework-res (most icons in status bar)
Vending (status icons only)
Here's a screenshot (more to come in later versions):

Thank you to designgears, MikeyMike01, and ChanceM.

Tutorials
When you download the file, unzip it. It is not the MetaMorph zip, but it has the MetaMorph zip inside of it (MetaMorph zip folder).
Steps to do things:
Install font
Install MinimalisticText Widget
Install/customize LauncherPro
Install/customize WidgetLocker
Apply MetaMorph Theme
1. Install Font
The font.zip file is included in the Extras folder. Copy that to the root of your SD card any way you want...
1. ADB (Assuming you're on Unix based OS, if not, replace commands as necessary)
1. $ cd ~/[font.zip directory]/
2. $ adb push font.zip /sdcard/font.zip2. Mount SD Card to Computer
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. If not, 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Development' > 'USB debugging'
2. Right click/copy font.zip to root of the phone's internal SD card.After font.zip is on your phone, boot into Clockwork Recovery and apply the zip file. Once that's done, reboot. Your font should be changed.
2. Install MinimalisticText Widget
This one is easy. Go to the Market and download MinimalisticText. Then create the widgets that I have using it. I will not walk you through how to create widgets with MinimalisticText, as it's too complicated to type up. Trust me, you'll figure it out.
3. Install/customize LauncherPro
If you do not already have LauncherPro installed, please do so now...
Once installed, put the LauncherPro dock and launcher icons inside of the DCIM folder on your internal SD card. You may also put the provided wallpaper there if you'd like to use it.
Editing the dock image:
On the home screen, press 'Preferences', then 'Appearance Settings'. 'Dock background' is the first option; select it.
Select 'Custom' and find the custom dock image. That's it!Assigning custom launcher icons:
Long press the space on the dock that you would like to change. Then select 'Change shortcut' and change it to what action you would like completed. Then select 'Change icon', and select 'Custom icon'. Browse to the icon you'd like to use and select it. Your done!
PS: To make the arrow on the left open the app drawer, long press it and press 'Change shortcut' and select 'App Drawer'.
4. Install/customize WidgetLocker
This is a bit more in-depth. There's a perfect tutorial in this thread. The only thing that you must do is after you compile and sign the APK, uninstall WidgetLocker from your phone, then instead of putting 'com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk' in the /data/app/ folder, put it into /system/app. Otherwise, if you reboot your phone, it will disappear.
5. Apply MetaMorph Theme
This one should be a given. Download and install MetaMorph, push the 'minimal-white.zip' to /sdcard/AndroidThemes, open MetaMorph and select the zip file as a new theme, then apply it. Be sure to apply framework-res.apk last! otherwise your phone may not install the other mods.
More to come soon, probably

The Framework.apk theme worked on Cog 3.04. Didn't try the rest of the them, just wanted the white status bar items.
Thanks, looks good.

everytime i use metamorph something happens and i get put into a bootloop. i've given up on metamorph and start theming my own via 7-zip and root explorer.
Any word on the newer serendipity versions? I have this theme running on 4.3 like you stated in the first post and I love it, but I'm going to update to 5.7 and would like to know if anyone has tried it

Sorry I stopped/never did really update this; I don't really have the time.
But to answer your question: yes! It should work on any Serendipity versions. I'm not currently running the theme, and have lost interest in using it, so I'm not going to flash it over my Serendipity 5.7.
Anyway, one thing that may help you realize that this will work: unlike CWM themes, this one only replaces/adds files that are going to be changed. If the file isn't changed, then it will not replace it. By that, I don't mean that it will replace framework-res.apk. I mean that it will only replace the files inside framework-res.apk, so if there's anything that Mikey added (for example, the rotary lockscreen), it won't be touched. Only the themed icons will be changed. Hope that makes sense
dowloading this theme!!! looks sick
screenshots are broken.
Alright thanks man. I tried it on serendipity 5.7 and its working just as it did on 4.3, and looks just as cool. Since it looks like your pictures on the first page arent working, here's what the status bar looks like, which is the only file I flashed, for anyone interested. Goes great with all the white on my homescreen.

PLEASE DO A NANDROID BEFORE TRYING.
One of the things I’ve most liked about Hero was the ability to change the lockscreen background. I had an application named Lockbot from the Market, and though it’s a nice app, I found that it would drain my battery real quick. Plus, I would have random problems like the Notification Bar locking up and no SMS or Handcent pop-ups. I also really missed not being able to control my music like I could with the Stericson Lockscreen. So, I made a real quick and easy way to change the background using MetaMorph. It looks like a lot of steps, but once you get this set up, all you have to do is change 1 file, and you can change the background to anything you like. This is so easy, I don’t know why no one has posted this before.
Instructions:
Download Lockscreen-Background and unzip it. Put it in the AndroidThemes folder on your SD card. DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER
Navigate through all the folders. framework-res> res> drawable
There you will find a picture named “zzlockscreenback.png”
Replace that picture with any png you like as long as it’s 320X455 and rename it to “zzlockscreenback.png”
1. Open MetaMorph
2. Click on “Existing Theme”
3. Navigate to folder named “AndroidThemes”
4. Click on folder named “Lockscreen-Background”
5. Put a check next to file named “Lockscreen-Background”
6. Click “Ok”
7. Click “Apply All”
8. Reboot your phone when prompted
9. Enjoy your new Lockscreen Background
Next time you want to change the wallpaper, just replace the “zzlockscreenback.png” to anything that you like, reapply the Metamorph, reboot, and you are all set.
Screenshots:

I have included the background that is in the 3rd screenshot with my MetaMorph.
The theme I am using is djengizz's Alternative Eclair lockscreen cause I think it looks real nice. I made a slight mod to it and made the gray bar at the bottom completely transparent, and have included it in this post, if you want it.
You can get Stericson's Lockscreen here.
Special thanks to djengizz and Stericson as they have done all the work. I've just made slight changes.
It's working great for me. Thanks a lot, i've been looking for a way to do this for a while!
No problem. Glad to hear that you found it useful.
Would this work on dwang ROM?
It'll work if he's ported over the Stericson Lockscreen. Might also work on a stock rom without the lockscreen, but I haven't tested it. You might want to make a Nandroid before applying just in case.
it didnt work on mine...do i need to install The Stericson Lockscreen( dont know how to couldnt find any instructions)
i did exactly wat you said...still have the default locksreen

If you're using Cyanogen's rom, a link to the Stericson Lockscreen is provided in the first post. If you are using a different rom, you might need to ask the rom developer to compile the Stericson Lockscreen for their rom.
I'll see if there is something that can be done with the default vanilla lockscreen, but I am away from home and won't have a chance to look at it until later tonight.
you could try making the image toast_frame.9.png in framework-res.apk/res/drawable the sizing that you are using for the lockscreen image and see how that turns out, since that is the image that controls the default lockscreen.

well i went to his website and downloaded the "attachments_8_.zip Lockscreen for Cyan 4.1.11.1" but theres 5 files...android.policy.jar framework.jar services.jar framework-res.apk settings.apk ...what do i do with those files...do i just run framework.apk and settings.apk??
Once you have the Stericson Lockscreen file, you have to flash it in recovery. Once you flash it, it'll be installed. Once it's installed, you can flash my MetaMorphs. Remember, MetaMorphs are themes. You can't theme something that is not installed.

Thanks for the heads up David. From what I understand, .9.png images need to be edited using Eclipse, which I don't have, but it's worth a try if a brave soul wants to try it and report back. Just be sure you do a Nandroid first.

You need to flash the entire Zip file from the Stericson Lockscreen link in the OP. You would flash just like you would flash any rom. If you have questions or problems with that, read up on the directions and troubleshooting in the Stericson link. Just make sure you are flashing the correct lockscreen for your rom.

Looks like you unzipped the Stericson Lockscreen and didn't resign it. Redownload Stericson's Lockscreen again and flash it. Don't unzip it or mess with it. Once you have it on your phone, follow my instructions.

Here is the image:
Just rename to zzlockscreenback.png, put in the correct folder, and apply through MetaMorph.
I'm flashing the modded lockscreen using metamorph but its taking a long long time, its been going for like 20 minutes already and it still says please wait and the icon's still ticking round, the phones not frozen because i can pull the taskbar down, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Am i doing something wrong?
ps. have already flashed stericson screen and tried the background change, worked perfect, good job, just trying to get the modded screen now.

It shouldn't take that long to flash either of them. There are no changes to the framework, just the images, so you should be safe if you kill it with a task manager and retry it. Better yet, restart your phone and try it again. Hopefully that works for you.
So here it goes. After over 250 hours of copying, editing, resizing, renaming, putting things together and so on...
At long last it is ready. Buuf THEME finally for HERO devices.
The amount of work was massive.
For your OWN ease of application i have turned this into a Metamorph Theme. So you need to download Metamorph from the market (free).
SO! Here are the pictures.

- THIS REQUIRED ROOT ACCESS. For those that DON'T have root access, you can only apply the ADW launcher Theme.
- As you can see there is a lot of working going on through there. I tried to make it easiest to apply by creating this via metamorph. This means that WHENEVER an update for your rom comes, you dont have to wait for my update, you can just *simply* apply the metamorph zip and you'll have all your Apps buuf'ed. The only thing i couldn't metamorph yet was the framework-res file. I am planning to integrate that very soon, but at the mo', you're gonna have to apply a .zip via your recovery.
- Also, i am using ADW Launcher. There was a theme named ADW.buuf.theme in the market. That was not working with my rom causing many FC's, so i stripped it down, recreated it from scratch and added a ton of new app images. I have added a lot of default values that suited my liking (highlight color and so on). If you dont like those, simply change them via ADW Settings. ALSO, i have used some code from Eliotstocker to make this theme have some wallpapers. Simply change wallpaper and you should be greeted with a "Buuf Picker" option. In there i have included some of the best Buuf wallpapers.
- As you can see, I have applied a Circular Battery mod (credits to the creators). If you dont like it, simply go to the kitchen and create another mod. It is included in the framework-res.apk zip file
- I am using an edited font, extracted from the Galaxy S by Alex.
- I am also using LCD Density Changer. My setting is @ 139.
- Finally, i am attaching a small .zip file with the bootanimation i use (credit to the creator - sorry don't know who you are) with some amazing boot sequence back from the energy BIOS days, PLUS ad-free hosts, ridding you from the annoying ads.
ROMS
This is initially created for FroydVillain 1.5. The metamorph file should be applicable to ALL AOSP 2.2 Roms for ALL MDPI devices.
The only limitation at the moment is the lack of integration of the framework-res.apk file.
Instructions
1) Download Metamorph and install. Make sure you disable autokiller, in case it kills metamoprh while updating
2) Create a folder AndroidThemes in your SDCard and put the BuufMDPIApps.zip file in it. Apply.
3) Reboot to recovery and apply the framework.zip file
4) Download ADW Launcher and install my edited Buuf Theme. Go to ADW Settings, Theme Preferences, Load and apply.
5 - Optional) Apply fonts.zip via recovery - Credits to Alex
6 - Optional) Apply myboot.zip.
Caution: During the metamorph application of the theme, your phone is going to FC a lot, and sometimes ask for your pin. Please do apply the zip until it is totally done (if it stops, redo it), dont let your phone sleep, and please interact with the FC/SIM lock screens.
Uninstallation
Simply flash your ROM zip file on top. No wipe needed.

Donation
- This complete theme pack wasn't created for money. It was created to make the Buuf Theme live on for the MDPI Devices. All credits are due to the people stated above.
- However, i have put into this over 250+ hours of work. And for those of you who have never themed, well all i can say it was really a pain.

Requests
Requests for unthemed apps are welcome. Glitches and FC's, as long as distortions, should also be reported. If you wish to have your app icon changed in ADW Drawer, give me the app name, or even better the activity name (check it out via adb logcat, while launching the app) and let me know what kind of icon you want.

This as AWESOME Because you've done so much work on this also i reccomend you put it in the legend,eris and Hero CDMA forums because it should work on all those devices to Thats if you havent already
Once i get rid of the framework-res problem with metamorph i will post it under Android themes, and separately to MDPI Devices.
Thanks for the comments
hi!
the theme is looking great,awesome work!!
but i get an error when i try to extract framework-res file from recovery,i get an error that the file is corrupt or something like that...what could be the problem?
thanks!
Very good job !!
It works perfectly on Froydvillain 1.5
Just one question : what is your clock&weather widget on the screenshots ?
I am terribly sorry, i think i've put an unsigned framework-res.apk file. I shall update soon.
My clock is Beautiful widgets, with the ANDRODena_Buff clock skin and EmotiSun Weather skin.
edit. I updated the framework-res.apk file, although i doubt it was unsigned, on a second note. Perhaps your download was corrupted. Redownload and let me know please
PS. Thanks for the nice comments guys.

My particular framework-res.apk is modified. It includes the circular battery mod, which not only changes png's, but also adds a few xml files. So yes it does indeed need to be signed. The apk itself cannot, but the .zip needs to be signed with test keys, allowing for the modified framework-res.apk to be extractable and allowing recovery to apply it.

Why were you reffering to the apk before then? Anyways doesn't matter
phone keeps rebooting at gmail.apk floyo 0.8
Looks great, I will be installing on my lunch break
One question - what difference does the LCD Density app make, and why choose the density you have ?
@shields - try to manually update the rest of the apk's. My phone rebooted as well on Gmail.apk. perhaps you have autokiller running or something. Choose Apply existing theme, select the xml file, and manually update the rest apk's
@furrypotato The difference LCD Density app does is that it makes the screen look like a higher resolution one. For example, i can fit 5x5 (columns x rows) instead of the classic 4x4 MDPI devices have. My setting is just something i have found to work fine, and dont have too many scale issues with my apps.
Installed it and loving it.
A very different theme for me to use that's a refreshing change
Thanks
Thanks for the nice comments.
Please feel free to propose any new features.
Whats the best method of adding custom icons ?
I only had a few minutes to look before I left for work but I took a look on Buuf website and found an icon I'd like to use for Tweetdeck. (Fauna #13)
Now I'm guessing I can amend the xml file in the zip in some way and place the icon.png file in folders like the others, but is there an easy way of doing it ?
I even bought beatiful widgets cos I love the themes so much
Oh, and I updated to the new Gmail last night and it's broken some of the gmail graphics such as notfication of emails.

There's no way of adding custom icons yourself. That's how i tried to do it as well. But it doesn't work. You have to create the APK from the beginning, and thats what i had to do. Took me nearly 3 days of non-stop work to remake it.
I, unlike the original creator, will intent to update the icons when asked. So let me know what icon you want for what app, give me the activity name if you have it and i will update it.
I haven't had an eye on the new gmail (as a matter of fact i didnt even know it existed). I will look at those on the weekend, as the following two days i'm taking 3 exams and my head's about to explode.
Let me know though.
Cool thanks.
I'm looking to get the attached icon added to TweetDeck Beta . Dont know activity name sorry (Whats best way of getting it)
Tweetdeck beta in case you need it :
http://downloads.tweetdeck.com/android_test/TweetDeck-0.9.9.1.apk
New Gmail is downloadable in market by the way.
friggan brilliant man, many, many, many kudos.

How long would you consider long? I flashed with CW 10 mins ago and am still getting a blank screen. Suggestions? Ohh and flashing on Perception build 4.
2 min max. Thats too long.
What ROM are you using? Did you have any other customizations installed?
I've installed each of these several times and never had this happen.
Perception build 4. I have tried unsuccessfully to flash anything through the ROM manager app. When I flash it just goes to a blank screen. Im going to try and flash by going into recovery mode and let you know the results.
Thanks
update: flashed through CW recovery mode and it went fine. For some reason I can't flash using the ROM manager app. Anyway great theme. Have you tried to flash the a transition over the theme?
Yeah, don't use ROM Manager. It isn't really necessary with the SetiroN i9000 kernels.
Flashing the transitions from DesignGear's thread over this theme, or others, will revert the taskbar and other items to the theme originally packaged with Perception. You will be left with an ugly hybrid.
The changes are in the framework-res\anim folder (XML) and are easy enough to incorporate. I have a build with the bounce method running right now, but it is a bit off-putting. Not sure I like it.
I have a android.policy.jar that enables TapLock for Perception as well. I will be integrating it in the next version. The lock screen will look just like the one in the Doc's ROM images above.
Awesome I really like the taplock better. when should we be expecting the next version, and will we be able to just flash over the current theme?
I'll up it now. I'm dorking around with SetiroN i9000 1.4 kernel, so I won't do much more with it until after the holiday.
It will have the Taplock and Flyin' animations.
How do you uninstall?
Looks great though!

Flashed. Looks awesome! My Cognadian Bacon has been officially zoinkdified!
Like the theme and plan on using it. The only change I would like to see is make the notification bar background a little more opaque.

Restore your backup from step 4.
I'm not sure it is customary to include method to revert, but I can work this out later.
If you ignored the red-highlighted step (wink-wink), uninstall Launcher Pro and try plasticdarlow's stock revert. You can delete the bootanimation.zip from system/media to get the creepy eyeball boot screen back. That will leave the HOSTS file which you can revert or leave alone.

You read my mind. I darkened it quite a bit, but the transparency makes it hard to read if the screen underneath is busy. I'll update it in the next revision.
Which battery are you guys using? Part of the reason I made this was to get the BlackBatt back. I loved it when I had an EVO and I haven't seen the detailed version in any other Captivate themes. It seems that the general public likes the circle batt's, so I added it.

i am trying the one you recommend (blackbatt). I usually like the "B" circle battery but i want to try your and see how i like it.
Where did you get the launcherpro tweaks? I am interested in seeing what the changes are.
DocRambone made the Launcher Pro update.

Just flashed it and it is attractive. Thanks!
So I don't know whats going on and why I can't apply themes at all. I open Rom Manager and press Reboot into Recovery, which of course reboots me into CWM. I go through the options to find the zip file and click apply it. It says applying theme, but thats it then goes back to the normal menu and I do reboot and nothing...
Its not just this theme though, I have tried Dark Soul and others.. So something is going on with my phone. Am I doing everything correct?
EDIT.. Thats what I was doing wrong. I was using ROM manager to reboot into Clockwork Mod instead of just using the powerbutton option of reboot into Recovery.. Completely different menu when I do that and that worked.
Where do I get this Taplock everyone is talking about?
And what is the difference between Taplock and ASOP?

I linked the taplock file in the OP.
It is AOSP, and stands for the Android Open Source Project.

So if I want just the animations and Taplock but with Circle battery mod what do I need to do?

General Info
I do not have a Nexus S to test this on, so I would appreciate it if someone could a.) alert me, preferably on twitter, when a new build is made, and b.) let me know if the theme I post here works.
This theme is extensive with over 2000 edited .png files and more than 35 .xml files.
There are no icons included with this theme. If you would like icons, then you can use ADW.Launcher or ADW EX download Minimalist - ADW Theme.
If you would like to donate to me for my work in this theme, then you can download the Donate version of the above mentioned theme. Search for "Minimalist Donate - ADW Theme" to find it.
If you would like to port this theme to any other device or use any part of it for your own doing, then you can download my images and edited .xml files from this post.
You do not have to ask me if you can port this or use any part of it. You do not have to credit me for any of my work in this theme.
I will not be checking this page frequently, but I will try to answer any questions posted here whenever I update the links. If you want a quicker answer, then I suggest saying something to me on Twitter (@david1171_).
This theme is for the official CM7 Nightly ROMs.
Theme Info
The widgets are transparent with white text. I recommend using a dark wallpaper.
The font included in the theme is the Ubuntu font.
If you are using Amon_RA's recovery and the theme is not applying after flashing, then you need to use clockwork recovery.

Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons - http://bit.ly/dVj33T
Updated 02-09-2011 to contain custom application icon on rotary lockscreen.
Install Instructions: PLEASE READ!!!
1. Set MetaMorph delay to around 1000 (My exact number is 1054) then press Close
2. Press Unzip/Extract new theme
3. Navigate to where you have Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons.zip located
4. Select the file
5. Press close on the on the pop up that appears
6. Press Apply all!
7. It WILL force close com.android.phone when it applies the Phone.apk, I do not know of any way around this.
8. While the force close pop up is on the screen, another pop up menu will appear behind the force close pop up and the buttons will say either Continue? or Stop; you must quickly press Force close on the force close pop up, then press Continue? on the other pop up menu; it will then start applying the framework-res.apk
9. The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up (mine did), then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
10. Everything should be applied now
Animations by rover.prince - http://bit.ly/iejwtm
I take no credit whatsoever for these animations.
I have taken them from rover.prince's theme at the request of some users.
Here is the thread where I got the animations.
Apply this with MetaMorph.
Very nice! Like it a lot, good work man
like this theme a lot. Is it possible to use default gingerbread look on the keyboard?
Thanks
Thanks for this! I was the one you emailed about this theme and the NS, and I'm really glad you made a version for this phone. It works without a hitch, and combined with the ADW theme you made, I now have a really good looking phone =)
Updated to cm_crespo_full-15.zip.
This has the new 2.2.11 version of the market in it, so if your market is still stock after flashing this theme, then you need to go to settings/applications/market and press uninstall updates.

Take the LatinIME.apk from /system/app/ of the Nightly build you are using and push/place in /system/app/ on your phone.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
adb shell reboot
or you can place it there with a file explorer with root access, but I recommend the above method as you stop your phone, so you shouldn't have to worry about any unnecessary force closes.

would really appreciate if anyone is able to just get the pull down modifications as an update.zip?

Added Morph to OP for lockscreen icons for those that do not like completely transparent lockscreen. Please read the instructions and do exactly as they say.
Edit1: Also, I believe with the next release, I am going to restructure the way the links are set up in the OP. As it stands right now, it is an ineffective model that takes up a lot of unnecessary space. As anyone who follows me on twitter knows, when I mention my updates on there, I just link to a folder on media that contains folders of each supported device, then in that folder are the theme files for each device. If I go to just having a link to that main folder containing all the sub folders like I do on twitter, then I do not have to go about updating the links in 9 different threads with each release, and I do not have a space for old download files, since they can be gotten from the same place as the current download file. I think this method will make for a less cluttered OP, and save time overall.
Updated to cm_crespo_full-27.zip.
Working fine on 28, but you do lose the screen on/off animations....
mine works i had an issue with running spare parts on screen animations fast if u have that on turn it off should work then

I figured it would be easier for me to maintain a separate thread for these ports and easier for all of you to find the ports themselves.
All credit for the original artwork goes to artoodeetoo. The only thing I did was port and add 100% icons for the tiamat rom, so all props go to him.
I assume no responsibility for anything you might do to your xoom...that being said, I have personally tested both of these and my xoom is still running.

There is one for that posted by the original creator. You can just flash that one and you should be good.
Edit: I just saw that his wasn't a flashable zip so I made one for ya...its in the OP now
Regarding Moray charging animation : I find the animation continues when fully charged in stock Moray too, so probably not something you did. Going to download and try this now :-D

OK seemed to install great on my UK Wifi Moray setup! Whoo!
Can anyone post the wallpaper used in the screenshots? Mine stayed at the one I had before.
Managed to set up the Beautiful Widgets themes after going back to the main thread and reading those installation instructions.
Will be setting up Circle Launcher stuff once I've managed to purchase it (having some issues atm)
awesome will try it asap

Yeah I have the same issue.need the wall paper
Also my icons didn't change nor did the clock widget. What is the name of it to download from beautiful widgets? Any idea about the icons? I may try to wipe and start fresh but was sad when most of the changes did not show up. Love the boot animation by the way

The beautiful widget icons and circle launcher icons need to be installed manually. Unzip the .zip you downloaded to install the theme.
There are two folders that you're looking for in particular: sdcardExtras and sdExtras2
sdcardExtras contains the beautiful widget themes:
Move the "BatterySGC" folder from inside there to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/bskins
Move the "ClockSGC" folder from inside there to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/scskins
Move the "WeatherSGC" folder from inside there to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/wskins
The themes will now appear in the lists when you customise Beautiful Widgets under "Appearance"
sdExtras2 contains the icons that you can set using Circle Launcher. This requires the paid for version in order to be able to use "custom icons". I assume you just create a widget that's a shortcut to the app you want and give it the icon you want from inside this folder, though as I said I had trouble purchasing earlier so haven't had chance to experiment

Hmmm I had a bskins folder but it was empty, so my guess is yes you can just create it. Make sure it's named correctly though, mine is all lowercase.
Not had chance to play with it since I installed this morning, so not had chance to test the browser yet, sorry.

Try deleting the bskins folder you made, and creating a battery widget using Beautiful Widgets, and trying to download a battery theme for it, see if it creates the folder for you?
I got Circle Launcher declining purchase and not declining and various things, so I refunded it, and I'll try later when it's had chance to process all the changes.

I am going to set up the circle launcher now so I can verify it working. I will confirm that it works later. As far as beautiful widgets, I just don't use them so I don't know if they work.
EDIT: I think there may be an issue with the gallery on tiamat because any new images I put on the sd card do not show up in the gallery so I can't set a custom icon
EDIT 2: Flash this to fix your gallery:will be posted after class (about noon CST)

Art posted the wallpaper in the other thread. My issue was apparently you cannot post both battery and weather icon at the same time on the super clock and to use battery only you need to check it on the drop down in appearance tab.
