XDA App Dark Theme Setting - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps

Anyone using the XDA app on their Tab 7.7? If so, have you figured out a way to switch to the dark theme? There's no menu button, so I haven't been able to figure out a way to switch the themes.
EDIT: Well, I ended up getting the Tapatalk Forum App. The menu button works and I'm able to use the dark theme.

I tried that. It didn't work. Hitting the menu button did nothing.

Arranging icons in the homescreen

A quick and maybe dumb question: Is there a way to arrange icons in the homescreen just by sliding one on top of the other, like the iPhone?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Thats exactly what you do.
Press and hold the icon the drag it round to where you want it then let go.
Drag it down to the bin icon to remove it.
To place an icon on the home screen, go to the apps screen and press and hold the icon you want on the home screen. Only let go when you see the home screen appear.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Sorry if I haven't made myself clear, what I mean is if it's possible to drag an icon on top of another so they switch places.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
as far as I know it is only possible in the TouchWiz App Launcher (when you are in the edit mode),
but you can't change places on the homescreen like on the iPhone. (not with standart launcher)
This was something I was surprised by as well... it's like having one of those puzzle sliders at times to get everything where I want it!

Indeed
Even more annoying to me is the fact, that folders don't close when the home button is pressed / an app is launched. I think that's quite irritating...Oo

"Blurred touchwiz" doesnt imply it's a hybrid of motoblur and touchwiz, does it?

Seems pretty cool so far actually. I'm digging the blue status bar. I was actually thinking I'd like to see that today actually!
I love this theme, its just it really bugs me when the pulldown status bar is transparent... Can you make it the bluish color it is on the galaxy s phones?

This theme is amazing. I don't use cm7/aosp much I always find my way back to sense. But I'm loving cm7 with this theme. Great job with the theme thanks

The only thing I'd like to see changed is when you hit menu it brings up all the options and they are all black and smashed together. There should be a blue line around each box separating the boxes.
Dude, I love it. <3

If he's using the xda app, the default setting on what page to land you is usually the first unread posts which is normally somewhere on the last few pages but its only the second page so it shouldn't have been to hard to click back a page lol

Planned for next update:
Motoblur statusbar pulldown with shade
Update some buttons
Update some of the notification icons
Add pop-up menu blue separators
Surprised no one has mentioned this... But the facebook widget is not readable. At all. other than that, nice.

[MOD] Enable ICS SoftKeys CM9-Beta1 3/20/12!

There was a request to get the ICS SoftKeys working.
I also wanted to experiment with the softkeys and doing some mods and theming.
So I present the Enable ICS SoftKeys CM9-Beta0 Mod.
Flash the Zip and Clear Cache.
Enjoy
This is setup so the Capacitive Buttons will turn off approx 2 seconds after screen on(***MUST BE ON AUTO BRIGHTNESS***)
The lights will not come back on unless the Capacitive Buttons are touched. Hope this helps.
**I am not responsible if you phone breaks**
Also: Lets thank our great devs for the work they do!
The OG Epic is a great phone and they just keep making it better!
Great job CM Team!
ToDo:
Turn off backlight for Capacitive buttons?

How did you manage to recompile the ics framework-res? I keep having issues.
I found a set of apktools that finally worked for me.

Any noted bugs deriving from this or does everything work just fine?

I'd like to know this as well. Practically speaking if just dimming the hardware buttons saves battery then disabling them completely and using software keys should be even better. Also it looks nicer imo.
A question about that clock. Which one are you using? I have the Beautiful Widgets one, but none of the skins are "beautiful". Yeah yeah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I've been scoping some of the clocks around the Epic forum & there are some good looking ones .

Hide navbar when viewing images? (CM10.1)

Hello! I'm running CM10.1 on my 8.9 and would like to show images truly full screen when looking through gallery. Is there anyway to do this? Some kind of auto hide bar like in Windows at the launcher level or even just a new viewing app?

Go to settings, system, power menu, and check extended desktop. Then tap the power button to bring up the power menu and enable it.

Worth a try but no dice. Oddly the black bars are still there in the gallery after doing this. The image will snap to full screen for a moment and then resize as though the bars were still there. Thanks for the effort.

Try no icon and use gesture (depending on the launcher). The rest of your screen is six icons across except the dock. For example I use down swipe gesture to expand notifications, up swipe to open app drawer (with animation set to open app drawer from bottom of the screen), double tap to sleep, two finger swipe for quick settings.

You can take just the app drawer from Textile OS (Named finger) and use sky blue night, in the options of Layers Manager.
I like the ones in the Min icon pack.

I downloaded that app, and even got SkyBlue. but it doesn't seem to be sticking once it asks me for a soft reset.
I just noticed that it themed my setting, but not my icons, background, etc.
NOTE: I seen somewhere I might need BusyBox?

Don't use the soft reboot. I always do a full reboot and it works and you shouldn't need busybox. I don't have it installed.

I use the advanced reboot in gravitybox but that requires Xposed. I don't know how you feel about that cause I know some people just hate it. You can also get an app like terminal emulator and type su to grant superuser then type reboot. There might also be an app in the play store that could do it but I don't use those. Someone else would have to suggest one of those.
Is using Xposed a bad thing? If not I will throw it on this phone...

It depends on who you ask. I say research it and try it if you want. Just make a backup right before you install it and you can restore that if you don't like it. But personally, I don't think it's as bad as some people say.
