Hey I just got a diamond and i was wondering which themes you guys think are the best? Screenshots please!!!
THANKS!!!
ALL THEMES NOT JUST MANILLA!!! THANKS A LOT!!!
personally I like outline, because of its simplicity and it's not a bunch of icons thrown together and badly resized (no offence to everyone that does that, I know it takes a long time to make a theme).
How bout searching for themes in this forum? Lot of screenshots
and for your question: de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum!
just ainstall "Manila Customizer".
now you can choose by your self wich icons, slaiders, wallpapers, clocks, etc...
make your own favorit theme.
the very best theme EVER for manila is so amazingly wonderful & beautiful & sublime & has rockets that make you take off into 7th heaven & when you get there you realize even the big dude upstairs (if you believe 'it/he/she/what ?' exists) is jealous of this theme (he's still running around with 2 beakers & a piece of string, whilst although nicely decorated with the help from a certain Michealangelo, really doesn't live up to a nice shiny spanking new HTC), then you flash it to the chirping cherubs & man (or woman) they would cream their jeans if they wore jeans but they don't but you get the picture (exciting isn't it !) & even the archangels are astounded, except of course for the fallen one as, well, he knows a bit more about these things than the upstairs crew & has impeccable taste of course (how did he happen to be there you may ask ? Usual monthly round table with the boss, discussions on the state of the universe, discussion on the stupidity of mankind & whether Britney will make another comeback soon, usual sort of thing), anyway, this theme is just so funky that even James Brown was speechless except for a 'yaow erh ugh" which is surely a good sign, anyway, this theme, what is it called & how to find it ?
Ah now that is another barrel of fish ...

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
hi everyone,
i mean, there are a few interesting themes out there, including iphone clones, wm7 leak concepts, etc... but: the only design i am really in love with is the design a_c uses in his apps. i simply love the greyish and minimalistic design of S2P and the options menu design of S2U. i love the small taskbar and i think though it is so small it seems very powerful to me as of functionality. i beg you, a_c, please hear my wish of an app that works like the ones you already made (an app that overlays the today-screen) that is so smooth, fast and simply amazing! i offer my help in developing the gfx needed for this project.
replies appreciated
hmm...if you have ever had a look at an iPhone you would know that all the A_C's work is based on iPhone's programs. S2P and S2U2 atleast, S2V not that much but still. So if A_C would make a theme I bet it would look a lot like iPhone themes we have seen already (iFonz etc)
well ok i know that, but:
i hate the iphones "desktop"...i hate those glassy icons which look like crap (to me).well i would think in the minimalistic way...like a bar at the top with a few tabs which drop down when u open them (like messaging-->new sms, new email, etc and multimedia-->audio, video, player etc)
i hate overloaded today screens and thats why i thought it would be so extremely cool if there was an application like that.
Have you had a look at PointUI? I think it could be something worth trying if you're looking for a minimalistic and nice looking UI to replace the today screen. www.pointui.com is the address. Have a look.
I know exactly what you mean! I've used alot themes and things like ultimate launch, WAD themes and spb mobile shell. But when i first opened the menu in customisation menu in S2U2 I always think "WOW"!! It has a sort of mac feel to it.
But I also dont like the crappy icons for the iphone themes either! I think a theme similar A_C's menus would be amazing!
Same here the S2U2 settings are very nice! I to would like to see an app request like this! All who are into this leave a feedback. Don't know what we're talking about? go get S2U2, from A_C. I feel this would be a cool addition to the whole iphone theme!
I tried making a theme and it went really badly. So i am requesting one. I am 16 so i can't really paypal over money, but i would love a theme based on my highschool. Its a teal/black or white based theme whichever would be easier. This is the schools website: http://www.sd36.bc.ca/fltsec/
For the icons have like school stuff and like for the slider try and use the dragon in the top left corner or some kind of dragon thatt looks similar in color.
Thank You.
bump anyone?
guess nobody can or wants to ..
So you say you want a cup of Joe, or a MilkShake, or some other secret code word for a lil’ something in your PayPal account for your work, creativity and energy? Hey, this NEWBIE is all for it – hell, I’m glad to donate; but I be needed some help!
Where I’m at – right now, the Midwest USA, Omaha Nebraska to be specific.
Where I’m at with my phone / HH device – it is a work issued HTC Touch Pro. I’ve had it about 3 months now, Alltel is my carrier and it came with a CRAP boring, dull grey Theme that can’t be changed, allegedly, when I’m using the Touch Flo3D.
Work offers several carriers; Verizon guys with the same phone have a much cooler “stock” theme – and oh sure, I can mess with the Today setting and get some goop red called Guava Bubbles to linger above and below in the bands, but mostly, it really sucks. Plus, the damn thing is slow – I hit my 4 code password and 1 out of 4 times the damn thing says I have the wrong PW – no I don’t you beyotch, I KNOW my password. Weather? I can UbitchInStein in Upper Mongolia but not the town I grew up in, Boulder Colorado, WTF is up with that?
I know just enough about technology to be dangerous – I can find the ROM versions and all that stuff, navigate config files a little, copy files using Active Sync and so on – and hey, my RingTones rock (http://sites.google.com/site/bcwsite4now/Home/filecabine) I can strip the hell out of a DVD, edit using Adobe Premier Elements and you might laugh your ass off if you know the movie scenes.
But, for the life of me I can’t figure out this deal I downloaded called Manila Editor from Sascha Lange and Dimitry (you guys sound like Russian mob, please don’t kill me) - and now I’m reading this Manila Customizer - Customize Clocks, Icons, Sliders etc [1 Nov] New Version thread from Gramps or Grumps or the Gimp from Pulp Fiction (see Ringtone reference) above and it starts to look like I am getting close – Clocks, Icons, Sliders – hmm, that’s what I want, and really cool ones!!!
So I DL and UZ a bunch of stuff from some thread and now I have some cool looking graphics in a bunch of folders on my PC that look like they work together in a TouchFlo 3D setting, but I have no friggin idea how to get them from my hard drive to my phone without brickin’ the damn phone; remember, work issue phone. {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2891202#post2891202}
Plus, over at PPC Geeks or some other board, they were all hot on some TouchFlo 3D speeder upper program and steps with a new Stock Market Watcher Icon using the 3G network and a better Weather app; so I PM a dude over there about 45 days ago and he tells me, “yo, newbie, read a bunch of stuff on Google and then PM me back; this is not for rookies.”
Dude, I have 3 kids, all under 6 and a wife who likes me to do dishes once in awhile, read a bunch of stuff on Google and THEN ask for help? No thanks, I’d rather pay your arse. So, the end of my story goes like this – who wants to help me and what is your price?
Can I make my own icons, sliders and clock graphics using PhotoShop or some other program? If so, what sizes should I aim for in each at what resolution? And, what the heck is a Manila anyway?
How do I get all the cool **** on my PC now to my phone? Say I wanted to pick one of the themes, I think, like Panosha Shine 2.2 on my phone and ditch Mister Alltel BoreMeToFngTearsGrey?
What can I do to speed this ***** up? Add the Stock Market Application, and make the Weather App a little bit more relevant to my small Midwest World?
My dream phone, and your personal challenge: A faster HTC Touch Pro with a rocking U2 theme in black, red and grey or white that snags icons from the album All That You Can’t Leave Behind or How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and a cool clock that uses the font from the album War circa 1982 – hey, I’m old. It will run faster, smoother and have a better Weath App and at least some cool Stock Market app so I can freak out everyday 24/7 as my 401K goes to 187K!
If someone can make all that happen, Monster Milkshakes and Large Coffee all around!
Thanx for reading my rant. Enjoye the lame RingTones.
No PMs plz – email [email protected]
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 :
[THEME] Clear Glass Sense [esk0Glass 1.0]

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.
