An home-launcher it's an android app, so you would have to know java pretty well.
Usually it's much easier to make your own theme, but it depends on the home-launcher app you're using. Surely searching on google will give you the answer. Type something like "create theme" and your home-launcher app name. Hope this helped you out...
Thank you Ill do some research

if you want to create a custom theme for go launcher then use go launcher because go dev team gives a free software which will let you create your own theme for free it will need Java installed it is called go theme factory

Any chance we could get someone to make a MotoBlur theme chooser theme for CM7? I've always sort of loved the interface, at least more than AOSP but I don't have the knowhow to go about doing it. Basically I just want the framework-res and I'm sure there's others out there that are interested in the same thing.
Me too!

Hi,
how do I change the icons in the menu? I want to put your icons there
thanks
I think it's at a folder called framework or something and then res/hdpi... You should use Root Explorer to do that because you need to access the internal memory of your device.
But I'm not sure, I'm not a themer. There are some tutorials here at XDA where you can find more information about that, with a lot of details. Some people have already made a few good jobs to teach us. I haven't tried those out yet due to my short free time but I'm sure that with a little search around the forums you can get all the infos you need to theme.
Good luck!

Have you tried a different launcher like ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro? They are customizable, there are themed supported. Take a look into that.
Any suggestions? I'm currently using MEIZU and it's pretty awesome, but are there any other themes that work with transparency like this one does?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
off the top of my head a few are:
MIUI by same author as MEIZU theme
EasyDay
LunarUi
Orion
Moto
Evoluer
Naked Simplicity
i think you should be able to find them by searching "transparent status bar" in the search form (or something similar to that)
Also your gonna need ZduneX25 pacther to get it transparent.

Does that include transparency in apps like Settings and Root Explorer and others?

No sir, Zdune made it so we could tweak our statusbars to make become transparent for specific themes, like themes posted graphic. But using the patcher can also be used for centering clock and such.
Some of the themes have transparent settings, contacts, dialer, mms, etc..
Wanting to have an app transparent, you'll probly have to do manually. Unless someone has already created an app that you want, that's been transparent.

I'm willing to try anything at this point to learn how to make the apps transparent at this point, it'd be pretty cool to start working on themes

Yes, I know it'll be cool. There's some guides floating around this theme section on how to create themes for theme Chooser and for MIUI Theme Manager.
I would post a linking to those threads, but I'm not currently at my computer. Sorry about that.
But good luck on learning how to create themes, I wouldn't mind testing a few themes from you when you start building some.

Ahh thanks for that small list I never seen some of them.
Loving all the themes so far! But I was wondering if a MIUI theme could be made? If not a whole theme I would love to see the status bar themed.
If there is enough interest of course.
Thanks!
hmmmnn... I am sure it is possible. I will try to find a few different ones to download and see what is going on with it..

Insanity... I will help you give it a look, after this weekend... interviews tomorrow r Thursday n then Baltimore for a long weekend... to an extent, you can just clear out a lot of icons as a cheat... (edit: coming from my understanding that it is an over simplified, very plain and basic status bar...)

going to be tough.. think the icons and all have to be altered through the launcher. Go Launcher has some MIUI themes, the status bar can be made transparent but don't see anything really exciting as far as the icons go. Downloaded one file but can't open it. It is a .mtz format. Is this just a different type of zip? Know of a program to open it?
sorry not much help there, but thats ok with the icons, always a workaround for that thanks for putting in the time on this!

Menus and the task bar are awesome in MIUI. Have it on my NC, and gotta say, I'm a little surprised that Google never took the time to dress those things up themselves.

take your Framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, RES_cappuccino that you altered and put them in a flashable .zip in CWM that we can all try to use? If you made the launcher, include that also or let us know where to get it if it was ADW or GO or LauncherPro? Just like the other themes in this section. If you want.. or keep it all to yourself..
OR, maybe that was someone else in the "Screenshots" Thread I saw.. REVO_65 maybe.. but any of them if you made the changes yourself post 'em. I am not really a MIUI fan, but all of those screenshots look pretty sweet.

i just like how plain and clean MIUI looks. i also like how the status bar is pretty stripped down.

Okay so 1. No idea what a RES_cappuccino is 2. No idea how to make a flashable zip 3. Its a custom launcher based on tencent desktop, search for miui launcher 3.1 and it should come up

Hi, first of all I want to thank you for everything you give us every day.
I apologize for my english, I'm actually using the google translator.
What I would like to know is how to create a theme for the ADW Launcher Ex since they do not find much information. It is very difficult? I have to have that knowledge?
Best regards.

yes you can, unless you have never created an app
@OP you need to learn java, coding,eclipse, A theme is in APK format usally, so you need to learn coding,java language etc,
I would be happy to teach you, but i am busy creating a ROM
