I used to hate TouchWiz with a passion, and one of the reasons was for the aesthetics of it- I always thought it was just plain ugly. It still is in its stock form, but thank god we have themes now, my Note 5 looks nothing like standard TouchWiz. I tried a bunch of them, including popular ones like Weyo and Rotox, but in my humble opinion, none of them come close to Card UI. It just makes my phone so much more elegant, mature, and serious. There's no more of that "hey look at me!" crap that Sammy was going for, and now it looks like what a smartphone should look like to me. Here are some screenies of what it looks like in action-

U can also try Blacksky theme for a pure black experience! It's mostly similar to the card ui, but uses pure black instead of dark!
For me it's black marble that's really black too.

i'm using black marble combined with the DeluxeBlack lock screen. DeluxeBlack is really nice, too. i prefer black marble's 2-tone grayish-black theme and it's gray message box's (compared to DeluxeBlack very dark/black message box). thanks to the @ravian29 and his N9208 mod/bridge that allows dual-sim phones to use virtually any Note5 ROM, i'm able to use a @foreverloco ROM and Saphire theme to "literally" remove all semblance of TW blue, even on the dialer after a call is connected (last picture). See this thread ( [MOD] Theme Store- How to keep your stock icons on any theme) for details how to use different elements from different themes.

I'm actually not a fan of all black themes, they are too bland IMO. The card UI one has literally the perfect balance for me.

Black marble is nice, gonna try it out. Not sure how I feel about the icons though.
Would you mind sharing that wallpaper?

Thanks for that! Black marble is mostly similar to blacksky except it has better icons, more polished and uses square background instead of circle!

I have had a request for white. I may put up a poll here and see what colors come out on top and theme those. IDK I just threw this theme together so you had a choice and didn't have to give up serendipity to get some other colors.

white would be great! Actually, a white theme makes it easier to pair with wallpapers/icons and such.

White sounds pretty cool. I commented earlier about how adding a custom battery or dialer removes the whole theme. There is an awesome dialer that has most of the main colors you want, including red. Maybe this can be incorporated into the theme:

flashing that dialer will not remove the entire theme. I don't really want to incorporate someone elses work. I will eventually re write the kitchen to allow for battery mods.

You're right. I must have been flashing the battery mod at the same time as the dialer. I just got the dialer to work. I understand not using other people's work. Appreciate the replies though.
ChanceM is a covert Verizon employee.
Is there any way w can change the color of the sms app icon and thw phone and internet button on the launcher you red as well? I'm guessing you're working on a red version of the swype keyboard as well.
Looks awesome so far. Keep up the great work.

I don't want to ask about progressing this theme, as in some more red. Or ask about possible other colors, but I agree that a white/other neutral color would be a little more universal. I know you and Mikey like to keep it all original though
Anyway, I love this ROM and even more-so now with the REDROM
I'd vote for a white theme also.
ChanceM, have you notice that the requests for a pink theme are starting to surface??!! and i promise it is not me with multiple profiles!!!!

Hi ChanceM...a pink theme would be awesome!! PINK PINK!!!
Lol. This has become a request thread very quickly.
I am starting to get tired of the dark holo theme in ICS (for example in settings, calculator, camera, in the keyboard, statusbar, etc.) I have been searching all over the place for a white/light theme for the DHD but haven't had any success.
There is the Syk Sky theme for the Nexus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654546), after flashing my phone wouldn't boot.
The Reloaded ICS mod is fantastic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23275045), and my phone will boot and work with it, however it always crashes after about 3 min.
The closest I could find was Ghost (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681710), but I really miss the blue accents.
Does anyone know of a theme/mod for this? I have the feeling I'm one of the only ones that wants the Holo light, not dark theme.
I've tried to make it myself, but I don't know anything about programming on Android or the android resource management, so quickly failed at that. If anyone would be willing to make the theme I'd gladly pay money for it (although everyone like free themes ).
Thanks
Been working on this still a couple of weeks from completion. Not sure if this is what your talking about.

Cool theme! I was looking more for a "classic" ice cream sandwich look, with the accent blue, just not with a dark background
Absolutely agree. You are not the sole one, for sure. I'm second.
Happy with TouchWiz 5 theme now, but ghost theme is just mind blowing.

even i need a holo white theme but mn its nowhre available tht makes me a lot sad
Hello everyone,
Here is my latest work, a theme for Go Sms Pro called Interest. It is still a work in progress and if this works out well I may end up making more.
Here is the link to the paid market download (there appears to be a problem with play store device compatibility as it shows up as compatible with the evo 3d in the developer console but it says incompatible when i log in to playstore and view the description....)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5qYi5nb3Ntcy5wY3RoZW1lLkludGVyZXN0Il0..
But for my very dear xda peeps I will give it for free! (Click Here!)
If you like what I do consider buying the market version! Suggest it to your friends if you like it!
Shameless Bump 1!
Looks pretty nice, imo.
Maybe make a second one, with the only mod being a white background, the white text at the conversation list isn't easy to read with the multi-color stripes.

You mean in the conversation view but list style instead of bubble?

Would you be able to change the bubble color in the conversion to the peach color (that's on the top right hand corner) and the ICS blue color?

On my opinion that's called black material. Dark material is more like grey Like dark theme here in XDA (which is the best!!)
But there is at Android Themes section "Official MEGA CM12 Theme Engine Thread" where is listed all CM12 themes so far http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/0-official-mega-cm12-theme-engine-t3006466

Agreed, wish they'd use different naming (same with some of the zip themes for some roms before theme engine). Not bashing all the developers hard work (I do commend them for all they've done and mean no disrespect), but using Google's material theme guidelines these are neither dark (grey) nor material (a colorful UI). Using the guidelines this is more how dark material should look like, hopefully it will come out as a CM12 theme!

I tried that but I don't like how its "grey" and not true black. When my brightness is higher it looks ugly as does the red one.
I'm still looking for a true black theme which I haven't seen. Some are close but they don't have the reboot menu or other small things which is annoying because you go from pure black to bright white.

Very beautiful Layers theme I just discovered last night. Will definitely be my go to theme for when I flash new ROM's. Running flawlessly on Chroma 5-7.
Google Play Music Radio is still working even with the Layer applied over the application.
I been contemplating this one. I think I gonna purchase it. It is nice. I agree
Oh wow that is nice!
Beautiful theme
Love the theme. Any chance of getting the striped background as a wallpaper
Just bought this. Its nice and professional looking. Nothing feels or looks out of place.
Nice theme, thanks.
