My Themes by: Abrasher [MT3G, G1, Dream, Magic, Android]

Espresso | Nexus | SuperD 1.10.3 Theme.
Hello everyone. I am a graphic artist (of sorts) and I thought it may be time to through my hat into the ring. I am consistently blown away by the work here, but I am always missing something...
This is work based upon others work! At its core is Community Espresso, Enoch, and my own personal stuff mixed in. I have done little things for years now and a friend suggested I start posting them for others to use.
First, install SuperD 1.10.3 (awesome music widget!)-I suggest Black Nexus
Boot and let ROM settle for 5 minutes
Install My update file
Enjoy
This will allow you to keep your Nexus launcher and give you the dark interface of the espresso themes. Also includes custom boot image. i am thinking of making some more... YOU WILL LOVE THIS THEME!!!
If you like it let me know...
If you have requests, post them...
If you have ideas put them here...
I will keep this updated if there is a response to do more.
I am reworking to fix and will re-posting.
Fix List for v2 (4/21/10)
- boot logo is wrong one(new one is MUCH NICER)
- Nexus launcher stays...or perhaps adds it.
- Color of text in notification to white
- Focus color to transparent
- Any other suggestions? let me know
v2 (As Promised)
- did not change notification text color yet
Download the UPDATE HERE
v1
Download the UPDATE HERE
Enjoy
As always, do a back up just in case, and I would love if some of you could test this on SuperCSDIv4 for me and verify your results.

You've posted a theme without screenshots? Even if it has similarities to another theme...you still need screen shots.......

Agree So installed it over SuperD 1.1.0.3 and here are some screenies:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Looks nice! Wish it would come as a metamorph though, as I really like some parts but some minor details I'm not fond of (grey provider name for example, unreadable).

Thank You
Thanx for the post. I am very sorry for forgetting these.
-Pre... did you put over 1.10.3? there should still be the nexus launcher?

That's what I expected as well But it turned out like this...
Resorted to a Nandroid as also a lot of framework was overwritten that I really liked. Which was a shame, as I really dig your powercontrol widget!

Thanx

That's Beautiful Widgets, with a custom skin installed

Yea someone please post a mirror I only have a g1 for internet access

I really like the theme. Everything shows up great. Only thing is that a CUBE app showed up and keeps force closing. Is this something your theme added?

WOW can you port this for us eris users??
this theme is fantastic!

Update
THe cube that was added was for the gesture search by google. I will remove it if it is causing issues for everyone. As for Eris Users, I will see what I can do. I would tend to think that it will work with you as well.

Icons: Plain and Simple

I started making only the icons on my dock but then decided to keep going. I made 41 icons and I know there's still a lot of apps I didn't make, but here are some that I made. I hope you guys like them.

Here's set number 3 still working on some more and taking requests. thanks again for liking them and downloading.

Those look pretty good. I really like how each icon is nice and uniformed...like they should be.
Feel like taking a few requests?
(If you get your Icon count to ~300, you could probably start selling it )
A few that pop to mind...
-IMDB
-Xfinity
-Notepad

I just posted some new icons. I hope you guys like them.

I am really loving these icons. Currently redoing my whole phone so I could use these right. Any chance we could get a crossword icon and possibly an angry birds seasons one? And an espn one?

And possibly a Crisgslist one as well maybe?

Thanks everybody. I will work on the requested ones and some new ones. thanks for liking them. I posted another project of icons "skittles" check it out and let me know that too.
Meanwhile I'll work on these. I enjoy creating icons and taking requests.

Hey gang, I posted another set and I hope you like them. I was in a bit of a rush before I leave for my marathon. If there's one you didn't like let me know so I can work on them to make it better and if any other request let me know, if not, then I will work on misc. apps to accomadate majority of the apps that people would down load.
Thanks again and enjoy them. I'm still working on some more and will start working on my other project as well. stay tune.

These would look so amazing on Miui. They look amazing as it is.

I've removed all the immature off-topic posts....please either keep it civilised or dont post at all.

Love the work so far. I was just wondering would it be possible to create them with custom colors. Like calendar with a blue bg instead of red?

My psds won't teach you much I'm afraid.
Theres not much to making a glassy / glossy effect, you just draw over the item you want it done to with a circular shape (easiest to work with). Apply brightness, white to transparent gradient. Just think about where the light is, keep having a go on photoshop

Gracias, por el aporte
Thanks for the input

Yeah I got the one rar with the psds just noticed now actually as I am sitting down to work on them. I think thats great you would do that. Changing those colors is as easy as just messing with the hue/saturation. I already have a few of them done. If anyone else wants custom colors I would be willing to do help out.

So here is one I found missing. An icon for email. I used the files PSD and found an envelope online hope you all enjoy it. This is using the Thick Glass PSD.

[THEME][LauncherPro] Dark Metro Solid Black [CRITIQUE/SUPPORT]

Update: Alive on the android market. Search 'dark metro'. Can't link directly, xda rules. Also available through the Theme Manager app.
Recently started playing with all this theming stuff. I've been making a theme for LauncherPro Plus, even published it on SlideMe app market, but without much succes.. So I'm wondering if I'm theming something wrong. But as I can't expect myself to be objective, I need some feedback, user input, constructive criticism, so I could get better. I'd like to share ideas on this.
So.. a little Metro/WP7-inspired.. cause metro icons are just perfect Ladies & gentlemen, I present you Dark Metro Solid Black.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, as I am pedantic about the design, there always has to be (at least there should be) a matching icon pack for every theme, especially in case of LauncherPro, and I found a few that go well with what I created, for instance, here on xda-dev forums, there's this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924446
Really awesome metro icons pack by Weudel, with help from GinoCorleone. You'll get high-res 256x256 png files from it, that although seem like better, they looked kinda weird on my phone, so I experimented and found out that smaller resolution versions, say 60x60, 48x48 actually look better.
It has something to do with android system resizing images. Anyways, to save you the hassle with resizing, you can grab a resized zip from my blog (with permission from the creator, credit goes to Weudel for this)
It's also possible to find the official WP7 icon set on the net, but xda has it's rules, and I can't link to it/post it.
And btw, speaking of metro icons, some people might find it useful - try googling MetroStation by yankoa. Black, blue, white. Huge. You'll love it.
Again, no linking, sorry people.
Speaking of wallpaper, bright, warm colors suit this theme the best. I particulary like sportscars, so picking the one you see on screenshots was a no-brainer to me.. if you like it too, pm me.
I posted some stuff more and hints on this theme back on my blog, like a matching Minimalistic Text widget settings. If you really like it, feel free to drop by.
Aaaah, one more IMPORTANT thing - there's some weird bug when browsing black icons in gallery 3d and quickpic (two gallery apps I'm using, don't know about other cases), but don't go ka-boom just yet.. Dirty fix that goes for all black/dark icons - just pick the ones you'd like to have in your dock, name them like 1.png, 2.png, 3.png etc, the open the right folder in your gallery app, and they will be 1,2,3 in the first row, 4,5,6 in the second, and so on in the lower rows from the top. Just pick blindly by number, you'll get the ones you want.
Also, if you have some questions, like for instance newbie questions (how do I setup this or that), just PM/mail me. I mean, I'm new to this myself.. heh.

Reserved for world domination purposes/maybe an additional setup guide to keep it clean from post #1.

This looks great. Very nice work.

Very nice!
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

Just a quick update - it's alive on the market now! I managed to pull this off with a little help from a friend in the US.
Just search 'dark metro launcher pro' or simply 'dark metro'. Enjoy!
Also, I'm toying with some stand-alone widgets to match the theme. And probably a custom widget locker skin would be a good idea. But for now, studies take most of my time. At least for a week.

Nice man! It looks nice and clean.

Thanks. Nice and clean is exactly what I aimed.
Minimalistic is jazzy. It's a trend, a fashion. A design philosophy, a very appealing one.
But on the other hand, desktop has to be productive. I had a minimalistic rainmeter win7 desktop, and I loved it, but when it came to the development of this theme, I just turned it off and went for the icon/folder cluttered simple desktop. Cause it's faster, more productive, when you have all them crappy folders on your desktop instead of jumping from one location to another to search stuff on your hdd.
So one has to balance. Be minimalistic, but productive. But minimalistic!
So I chose LauncherPro as a base, because it's very productive with it's widgets, everything one needs right there on the desktop. Twitter, facebook, bookmarks, calendar, agenda, you name it. Well-thought.
Just a little metro love (round icons, whoooh).. Some dark shades.. and ka-boom.

Nice! It looks so nice!!

[ICON PACK] Painted Sphere

Hey guys. I wanted to share with you my first attempt at anything development related.
My first icon pack: Painted Sphere
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I was hoping to get some insight from everyone about some issues I'm having with it, and how I can improve it.
I released this pack about 2 weeks ago, everything was going well, but lately I've been seeing a lot of canceled orders (40-50%). I'm not sure what the issue is because no one is leaving feedback or ratings. I don't know if people simply don't like it, or if its something technical. Let me know what you think and what improvements I can make. I must warn you though I'm very new to theming and development, so you may need to speak slowly...
Another thing that I have noticed is that apparently if I look at the pack through the google store it says it's incompatible with my device (nexus 4). I have no idea what the issue is, I have read some things about the possibility that it could be due to the size, but I'm not sure.
Could you please check it out on the Store and let me know if it works for your device.
Thanks a ton for any help, and enjoy the pack!

ok downloading this these look sure as hell pretty :3

Aweosme! let me know what you think.

Ok, I've downloaded and installed it. I like the styling but I can immediately see some things that maybe not satisfactory to some.
First, your icon pack, at least the downloaded package from Google Drive, doesn't have icon on its own.
Second, you still missed a lot of app icons. Some icon packs somehow able to style icons that not in the packs into their style. Means square them or make them appear circle. But your icon Pack doesn't do that. Makes overall looks and feels inconsistent.
That's my input. Keep on developing ☺

This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to hear, thank you.
I'm now working on upgrading my pack to using Blaze's pack with the apply theme, change wallpaper, and request app all implemented. I think that should help draw people in. I'm a bit confused as to how I missed a lot of app icons, but I've heard a bit of feedback from people, and they are requesting apps I've already done... I've tested the apps on my phone and they all seem to work, which means that people are running different versions of the app, and my icons aren't applying.
This means that I need to get a better ComponentInfo, which I'm a little confused about, because unless people buy the icon pack then request the app that is missing I won't be able to get their version. Does anyone know a better way?
Finally, I don't think I'l be able to style remaining apps into the same shape as my icons. Unfortunately I didn't use an iconbase/iconmask and some of my icons break their circular look. Do you think it would be worth going back and fixing those icons to be circular for the sake of constancy throughout?
Thanks again!

I can't say for others but for me consistency is really important. I can't stand looking at my home screen where one or two icons mismatch with the rest of icons. I don't understand the technicality of icon Pack design but I hope from this problem you can better plan of your icon Pack creation in the future. Cheers ☺

Hey nice work dude,but on which launcher is it [email protected]
I'm on cm12.1(trebuchet)
