Here is my first theme made for the Herald. I'm new to this so I've begun by modifying the default htc touch theme and made it darker (close to black) and changed it a bit. Hope someone likes it.
damn......nobody postes screen shoots
it's like the basic dark grey-black htc theme for touch with some modifications to look better (In my opinion at least).
I'll check it out. I've been looking for a darker/better looking version of that theme. I can't post screenies yet, but I'll give a review.

Oh wow hey this is great man! I LOVE the blue text!
What I think would really make it look better is if you could make the theme match Schap's 2G dialer. Possible make the greys look less monotone. I'm not saying add pinks and crap to it, but make it less grey and more black, with some grey contrasts to it. Hard to explain what I mean, but basically the text adds some much needed color, and I think the greys could be changed to do the same, but only staying withing the black/grey spectrum.
The only thing I do not like is the background wallpaper. Something smoother and darker would be nice, maybe mix in some of the same blue color you've got on the text with it. Dunno.
Does any of that make sense?
Overall, I like it, and am going to use it until you release another one.
You're on the money with this one. Taking what's already out, tweaking it, and making it better. Excellent.
Your theme looks fairly decent. The text color in the start menu is blue as well.
THX I like it!
thank you all for the apreciation.
I'm thinking of making a new theme, but currently looking for ideas. Does any of you have some ideas about some color combinations and background pictures? I'll make the theme and then i will upload it here. Any sugestions are welcomed.
Get rid of the grey shades. I hate grey and black together. Very dull. Keep the blue text, it looks great! I think a background image with some planets, or stars, or nebulae or something would be sweet with such a dark theme.
Make it a space theme!

Ok, we'll go to space However, complex coloured images on the today screen may affect the text readability. I'll try my first space theme with a background image of the moon or some other bunch of planets laying arround.
The trouble with themes is that you can't satisfy all people because their different opinions regarding the ideal theme.
Ahh true. It's all good, make what you like, and to hell with everyone else!

RVM, I didn't put it that way. If I were to make a theme for myself I wouldn't need to upload it and just download again. Also I wouldn't have any need to comment it with people since I've made it to best suit my needs.
On the other hand I'm not that much into space themes. Personally I don't think a 320x240 screen with lots of text on it, can express the complexity of space (stars, planets, some dust&stuff) or at least not in the same manner like your average desktop. However I'll try this (or other themes) in order to to find out if it suits other people.
Regarding Theme?
Quick question Guys, where are you Guys placing the theme at. Exactly in which folder should I say. I downloaded a theme over the net and can"t figure out where to place it. Thanks for your help People...
^^Its very easy. Just place it in the first folder that comes up when you activesync.
This is a very nice theme. Im looking forward to more from you

take just the first one, put it in \Application Data\Opera 9.5\skin\
replacing original standart_skin.zip file
make a backup of your original file if necessary.
depending on your opera version, this location could be here \windows\Opera 9.5\skin\
Beautiful skin, the whole black theming is just boring IMO, might as well build phones with black/white screens lol
Thanks for this beautiful skin

there will be no VGA color skin from me. not in near future.
all of icons have different sizes there, it would require to reedit all of them,
and icons which i used as source for this skin were mostly from opera XP with 22x22 pix.
suitable size for qVGA verion is around 32x32 and for VGA 66x66. that means these icons will be really ugly if converted to that size.
sorry for that.
skin request???

Anyone got the know-how to try this? It would open up some new looks on our devices. Its arguably one of the better things in the 6.1 update.

don't think i got your point
like in ultimate launcher?
no i think he means the today screen from wm6.1 smartphones. (which is very nice)
I havent seen it on wm pro
Yes, separate it out and make it an installable cab as a today screen replacement or addition. It looks really nice, and usability is better than the original.
This should be possible since they both are based on the same OS. Just a matter of finding and extracting.. I dont have the know-how, but would love this.
I also have not seen anyone else mention this. That is why I started this thread.
I believe it has been brought up in reference to the T-Mobile Shadow today screen that can usually be found under the keyword "neo theme". I haven't seen any ports myself either and I know I would definitely use it especially if it was the neo theme from the shadow. I would love to install the "Freddy Shadow Neo Black Theme". My daughter had a shadow and damn that theme was nice.
Omg. Yes. I've been looking for a port of it too. I'm so jealous. It looks really nice. But then again, it might look weird since smartphone screens are much smaller.
well it'd be really neat, but since we have rectangle screens it'd be very different for us to have something like that
If anyone is wondering about what this is, or more, here is a blog from one of the WM developers who had a hand in creating this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2008/06/03/customizing-the-sliding-panel-homescreen.aspx
Maybe something like this could be created using TodayLife, I think that's the one I'm thinking of.

Actually, neo is different , thats what shadows used before 6.1. The sliding panels are great to use, but they have lots of limits too. If you duplicate them with another program like TodayLife, then you would have much more room to configure. And you can't add plugins into sliding panels, you can only manipulate the ones included.
whats the difference? where can i find a theme at? and is any theme compatible with any ROM?
Thanks in advance.
yeah, tilt2 makes me feel retarded about changing backgrounds.. ive tried hdwalls but it never changes the background.
so bump +1
Themes are just skins for the UI (and sometimes include a few extra features) ROMs are completely new sets of software and often include additional features built into.
Full transparent theme tested on Leedroid 2.3d, AuraxTSense v8.4
This is hacked together of different peoples App draws and Notification bars, along with blue touches from the infamous carbon blue theme and now with Clear Glass Sense [esk0Glass 1.0].
Also has power notification widget.
In short the only credit i take is patching them all together so hope you guys approve.
UPDATE ON WAY HOPEFULLY !!! TESTED WORKING ON LeeDroid2.3d !!!!
Just waiting on permission from the maker of the zip I based it on.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
http://www.multiupload.com/52HQJ8OZZZ The excitement was too much, If anyone objects to me using anything in the theme they have added let me know and I'll remove it.

Please let me know what you think and post compatible roms.
The LG Bubbles.apk looks awesome with this you can find it here :

Also my theme is based on esk02k's .zip theme found here :

hi
good job, nice theme
ps:Take shoot me on market for make screen shoot it's free ;-)
Nice!
I wish there would just be option to use Circle Battery A for this.
And get rid of that android robot on pulldown bar.
If you want to change bits do what i did, open the file and change the images, im not a dev. I made this how i like it from other peoples work. I uploaded it here just to share it. I'll try and post a how to later
Can someone tell me how to install this or point me to a link that explains how.
Many thanks

Yeah, had to use the blue carbon theme as a base to get the battery to work properly as the original one i wad using only had 8 stages.
Wanna do a "how to" next so people can add their own icons and custom battery images. Think if the masses new how easy it was, we could have alot more themes.
Im no dev nor graphic designer but managed to chop it all together.
Im sure someone out there could build a solid base file ?
Ps. Any chane of getting this on the mini site, as it was designed to work on leedroid ?
Could you please tell me what files i have to change to get a transparent notification bar whit circle mod A?
Or if you could manage to put that together that would be even more awesome
I was looking for this, very cool!
Nice one markhd. Youve inspired me to get theming. I spent a good part of yesterday learning the ins and outs and after many nandroids and boot loops ive figured it out. Im gonna check out themes for other sense phones like incredible and evo and see what i can port over(if i can). Cheers

So your saying I have to flash my ROM to change the theme? Damn I didnt realise it was such a big deal. Think I'll pass.
Thanks
you have an desire rooted James ?
No havent rooted yet because I havent had a good enough reason to do it. I have a card that i bought so that I can create the gold card etc, just not got round to do it as changing the theme isnt enough to make me root it.

Hi james, the benifits for many people make it well worth while, in addition to themes there are many more things to play with. For example custom roms with extra features, the ability to run apps from sd fully, bootscreens, sounds, icons, widgets, even some apps ( do a search on the market). Various fixes for bugs and issues that have been corrected by devs on here are often only availably via a flashable .zip of which useually require root.
There are also risks involved, you could brick your phone / kill your cat / forget to do the washing up. But i have not known anyone on here have an issue that could not be fixed, and now orange uk is sorted i believe all rooting can now be reversed.
Anyony please correct above info above as appropriate as i wouldnt want to miss inform anyone, just tryin to help clear up some points.
very nice,
I did a bit of mixing myself a few weeks ago to rosie that you might like, most of it's from the gorgeous looking Riptide9's Color'N'Clear theme for evo
(I'm also using LeeDroid 2.2)

Looks cool mate, not so keen on the clock personally but thats just me. The icons look freakin awesome. Got some new widgets, facebook / twitter etc might mix these icons in too !q
Great theme, thanks for your work. Am using it on Alex-V 1.7 ROM.
Bit of a battery drainer though!
I like it, but any chances to mod this theme and have green buttons etc (not blue!)
I was about to boot into recovery and flash when I suddenly realized I was on the SuperVillainHD-train. I'm doubting that this will work.
Buuuut I'm gonna have to try, later.
