I can't make roms (yet), so I'm gonna start theming. That being said, what apps/icons do you want themed? I figure we can get a nice little list going here, so anyone else who wants to theme can make use of it as well. Obviously, stock apps will be themed; what we need here is the apps from the market or other sources that you want to match with everything else. Let me know!
I would love a new icon for Go SMS Pro. I like the app a lot more than the stock messenger, but don't like the way it clashes with my other icon images. If I could get a cooler icon, that would be awesome, even if it looks like the stock messaging up but maybe in a dark blue or black color. =)

If you have a launcher other than stock you can change it to anything you want w/o theming the whole apk. Plus gosms updates weekly and would be quite the pain in the long run if the apk were themed...

I already use a widget to display apps (which includes go sms) on my main desktop a certain way, so programs like better cut pro don't work. Unless I can somehow paste the shortcut app from better cut pro, which is essentially a widget, inside another widget, it doesn't work for me.
Thanks anyway.

Is it possible to change the icon label backgrounds on sense ui to transparent?
Specifically for sprint hero?
thanks
Yes, it is possible.
You can recolor all Icons of Hero.
But it's lot of work. I'll try it some times, but still didn't like it.
If you can play with Gimp and 7-Zip and have any time, you could try it.
The original Icons are black at background. You can make the black background transparent.
But then it looks awful.

this gave me an idea, but i was wondering when you say alot of work, are you saying you have to do each icon seperatly? or is there a common one in the framework and then the widgets to add on?
thanks!
I think, we talk about the Icons above at the Bar with WiFi, Network e.g.
Or? If not, i must say sorry.
This icons are very very small *.png
Man of the icons are in the framework-res, some others are in the apps, too.
I want to do it, did about 20 icons. Now, I don't feel like to do it.
It's an awful and tiny work.
oh alright thanks, i thought he ment the icons on the 7 home page never mind!
I am talking about the regular icons, like browser or camera
oh lol wow sorry, well yes its possible, iv seen 1x1 wigets with the transparent background, but the rest of the icons had the grey/black background...
im assuming that every app developer doesnt have to make it or add it in so it must be in the framework.. il look through quickly see if i can find it
no luck sorry, but yes its definitely possible
Sorry for that! ;-)
This is definately possible.
Ahome is a program that allows you to do this and even change to any colour you want.
Just a simple process I beleive, it's a shame we couldn't take the Ahome application without having to use the whole program as it replaces your desktop a bit lke GDE.
I would love a clean green and black theme for the messaging app on MIUI that looks like the windows mobile 7 messaging along with a flat black stock keyboard buuuuut I have been able to find none of those anywhere. Is anyone feeling gracious enough to make one? I know its a lot to ask but at least you get the warm fuzzy feeling that comes with doing a good deed.
Nothing? Nobody is feeling the Christmas spirit?

Btw, all I need are the icons for the sms app. I know how to replace the files and even make the icons, I just don't have the means to do so.
SMS Theme
HEY!!! dont know if you have ever tried it...but why not just use handcent!! as your default sms and change the colors for that there. as for your keyboard...yeah idk.
I too would suggest Handcent if you haven't yet tried it...it has many customizable options as well as a clean interface.
I have tried it. I liked how you could change the colors but I'm meant change the buttons and the whole message bubble, not just colors.

I only ported some of icons from original Milestone theme and mixed some of sense icon. Enjoy!
To get screen like shown in first picture, check the following menu option:
Settings->CyanogenMod settings->Input Settings->Phone and Messaging
Get modded LauncherPro from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889036
Changes:
1. Browser tweaked for more icons.
2. Added some more tweaked apps.
3. Battery icon changed to BlueBattery.
Guys, can I have some feedback?
Your pictures really don't do it justice.
I thought it looked pretty awful from the pics but actually looks pretty good in the flesh. I like all blue icons, not a huge fan of the data icon though. I really like the menu themeing, xda app looks much better and the color icons when you push menu in homescreen are a good touch.
Why didn't you theme the new market blue? I don't like the buttons on the dialer either, doesn't look right with numbers but no buttons. Browser looks really smart I'm blue. Circular battery mod would have been good too

Find blue market (not modded by me) in first post. For phone I will post link in a day or two.
How do I apply this theme? I tried using metamorph to do it and it didnt work? Do i just place it on the sd card and flash it like a normal rom? Im really confused and i cant find any help anywhere. The theme looks sick, but i cant figure it out...

Yes, you need to flash it like a normal ROM. By looking at screen shots (I am lazy to post several screen shots) it may look sick but believe me it is fantastic from inside.
Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
Credits:
sk806 for his power control widgets and framework (I just themed what he did)
adrynalyne for Das BAMF!
MicroMod777 and Megarek for their notification icons
droidpirate.com (couldn't find the author of the post) for the cyan 4GLTE icons. Also big thanks to droidpirate for the other battery icons!
bgill55 for the location icon removal mod
whoever made the cyan themed Rosie.
TEAMANDIRC for making it all possible.
FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BREAKING YOUR PHONE. Make a backup first, and then you won't have to worry about that.
This theme works with the new Das BAMF 1.5. It should work on any deodexed Sense rom. I've attached a cyan-themed Rose skin. I've sent a couple pms to skins guys and can't seem to find where it came from. If you made it or know who did let me know, so I can either give credit or just link to the thread.
Steps to install:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Do a nandroid backup
3. Install .zip from wherever it is on your sd card
4. Wipe cache
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Boot up and enjoy!
The first boot takes a while, it always does when you're messing with the framework. Wait it out! If it hangs for a long time (like 5 or 10 minutes) then pull the battery, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache again.
This has only been tested on BAMF, but it should work with anything sk806's mod works with, as well. Please try it out on other roms and report back.
Check out some of my work at www.RootzWiki.com, and hit THANKS if you like it! @CuddlyNinja on twitter, RMHisCOOL on gtalk. Hit me up with any issues.
Download the theme here.
Coming soon:
- More battery options
- Some themed app icons (Amazon, Angry Birds, Calculator, Browser, Dropbox, Ebay, Facebook, Fruit Ninja, Gmail, Nook, Gtalk, Handcent, Messages, IMDB, Kindle, Movies by Flixster, Navigation, Pandora, Phone, Bunch of twitter apps, Rom Manager, SetCPU, Sky News, SNESoid, Stumble Upon, TFLN, Ti Backup, X-box, XDA and Youtube coming up first, because I have those)
- Better 4G toggle icon

Nice to see you back
Cyan's not my color, but this looks great. Thanks!

Well done sir!
Thanks guys! The kangerade tastes great lol. I need to get up on theming some apps. I've changed the icons before, but I want to dig deeper. I appreciate the support, I'm going to be digging in soon, school is dying down a little bit.
looks great, loving the cyan!
Damn this theme looks hot... Gonna have to try this...

Very awesome, it's about time we got some unique themes.
Well done sir. How would anyone think this would look with a more gingerbread than froyo feel? You know, the sharp lines and cut 90 degree angles? I think it would look pretty damn sexy!
You mean like the CM rom that just dropped? I can port those icons over to Sense, if anyone's interested.
This theme looks amazing. I'm new to installing themes onto my phone, so I have a few questions.
I installed the theme just fine I think, but the only thing that changed is the top bar that shows my battery life, time and signal strength. How do I come about making my phone look like the 3rd thumbnail in the original post? Does it have something to do with that Cyan.apk file?
EDIT:
I successfully installed the Cyan.apk file via Super Manager and selected the Cyan skin in the Personalize tab. Only thing now is that I really like the way the clock looks on the 3rd thumbnail as well as the bar that holds all the volume control. Could anyone tell me how to get my homescreen to look like the 3rd thumbnail? I'm also missing the wallpaper.
Any help would be appreciated.
The clock is a widget called SiMi Clock, with all of the colors changed to cyan. You make cyan by putting the red all the way down, and green, blue and alpha all the way up. The power control widget is called Extended Controls, which lets you pick whatever toggles you want and what color to have the "on". The bottom widget is AudioManager with a cyan skin. You can find the skin in the market by searching "AM Skin cyan" and it'll pop right up. I've attached the wallpaper to the OP. Is there anything else you you'd like to know about my setup?
Thank you so much for your timely response. Everything is perfect now and the set up is amazing.
No problem. I'm glad you're all set up now!
