Just trying to see if anyone would be interested in this mockup so I know if I should bother making it.
Edited together quickly for mockup purposes.
"Gloss" type effect colors seem off, but shall be perfected and the icons have lost there gradient effect currently
I think it would be interesting to see a white glossy theme.
Would look good on OpenDesire!
Very interested. Please make it
Looks fantastic.

In my opinion, I'd like to see it strictly black/white with minimal colour.

With a black circle battery and numbers changing colors, instead of the circle changing colors the same way Fightspit super circle type D does, it would be a killing theme.

Never been interested in circle mods tbh but yours sounds interesting, personally I like smooth sense and plan to incorporate it atleast for now

Please release that default white already
Then you can focus on that circle battery.

I like the Facebook layout, so why not make a theme from it? This was first on MIUI-Dev, but with all the sh*t going on there, I decided to plant it here
(click to see bigger image)
What do you guys think? This is all still in Photoshop. There's still alot of work to do to finish this.
I'm planning to theme as much as possible (SMS/MMS, Dialer, Contacts, etc). But I will finish it up first in PS and then release the whole theme.
What has changed:
- New icon style (like the blue buttons in the popup in Facebook)
- Stricter colortype. Exactly the same colors as used in Facebook, except for the opened folder background, because of the white text
- A clean and clear notification dropdown, where background of notifications is 80% transparent
- Clear blue active action icons, grey and beveled in when not active
- in MMS/SMS a beveled in button with colored icon when that one is active, no beveled in and lightblue border for icons that are not active
Very cool
Cant wait to test drive it very cool concept dont give up
Awesome man, does dev's over at miui treat people like ****. the way he talks he must be one big dork.
Saw this one over at miui-devs yeah, looks promising...I would most certainly give this one a try
Still can't wait for this theme. Looks so sick. I really appreciate how complete you're making it and theming everything.

looking great! i just hope the theme turns out as full as it can be, and as consistent with facebook's design as possible. and also id prefer no themed icons only icon backgrounds because it annoys me when some icons i use are themed and some are not and it does not look good with half themed and half unthemed icons on my home screen, just icon backgrounds is great.

I was thinking of that too. When the theme is finished, I will release 2 packs: one with themed icons, other without. I will also provide a psd for people who want to create their own icons, and I will do weekly updates with those new icons in the theme.

Looks great dude, can't wait to try it.
Thanks everyone for the interest in this theme. The design for this theme has been slowed down due to me being sick and stuff. The last thing I themed whas the MMS/SMS layout. Been struggelin' with the colors alot. Also, I have no idea how I will make the foldericons look like... any thoughts from the community?
Firstly I think this theme looks flipping great. My opinion on the folder look would be to keep it true to the Facebook theme. Have the folder have a white backing and if possible have the apps list in blue text along side a smaller icon like a friend list. Not even sure something like this is possible, that's just how I see it in my head! Then again there's alot of crazy crap in there.
Keep up the awesome work.

Hahah same question here. I've been checking this thread daily ha.
Sorry guys/girls, due to me being sick theming has been slowed down... when I feel better and I can focus again theming will go on
Next week I will hope to have a beta version up, where icons, foldericons, opened folder, notification bar/pulldown and mms/sms is themed.
hurry up plz im ****ting myself for this theme... no jk take your time to get it right. but asap would be nice, no pressure thooo... ))

A good app that I use is Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market, and I believe it's free. Pick any of your wallpapers you have saved and it'll automatically set it to fit your screen size, and you can make it either scrollable or nonscrollable. Works perfect for me. In fact, my current wallpaper is sized for my computer, and this app sized it perfectly for my phone.

Sorry that version doesn't have the date cropped, but should be easy to fix as you're setting it as wallpaper. Yes, it's an out of focus pic of the screen of a dvd player displaying r00t, but imo that's freakin awesome.

Here's a quick collection I did and I assure you they will look great!!
* most of these images aren't mine, I just found them on the net then resized for our screens, sharpened, corrected colors, blabla... I take no credit for them.
You can download the pack from here: http://www.multiupload.com/TK3N8RQEVJ.
As a side note, some of these backgrounds actually have interesting... backgrounds.
For example, "deep field" is an image made by Hubble, showing the furthest reaches of the Universe (light emitted ~ 13.5 billion years ago), "cherenkov" is an actual picture of a nuclear reactor (nuclear radiation isn't green, like in the movies, but that very cool blue) and "vitruvian", if you didn't know already is inspired by DaVinci's Vitruvian Man.
I'm currently switching between staredad and vitruvian, I love them both so much!
Two of my favourite background. Very nice with Laucher Pro and default icon

Thank u so much. It's awesome.
last 2 of mine
Just switched to it myself and I rather like it,will take some getting used to but it seems alot more feature packed.
So what are your views on the new theme?
(if you don't know how to switch to it scroll to the bottom of a page and in the left corner you will see theme changer switch to 2013 beta)
I'm not fan of the 2010 or 2013 Beta - the XDA Classic suits me and I've been using it since the beginning. The new themes have a too "White" effect for my taste - while the Classic theme is plain and simple for browsing. Just my opinion...
I wonder how many people are using the new themes vs the classic one.
XDA 2013 Beta
I like the 2013 beta. Thanks for pointing it out. The Portal Posts on the right hand side is cool. They should scroll with the page though.
Also, browser resizing is causes some issues. There is a lot of left to right scrolling going on if I don't have my browser in full screen. All in all, a worthy upgrade to the visual styling of XDA.
I had to hit XDA Classic for a moment and whoa... I think I was just transported to 2006!
I didn't know this. Just switched the theme (on the bottom of each page). I like it because the FB, G+, YT-Icons are not wasting space.
And it looks great. Thanks for this hint.
Feels nice .. noticed it only after your post ..
Thanks for letting us know mate...
It is very nice and clean
I don't like the font it's too narrow and difficult to read
After using it for a while I am not to sure I like the grey on white... something is missing, but after all it is only a beta so we shall have to see how the theme develops!
I like it but feel that its somehow to cluttered. Maybe some work on the colour scheme would help correct this. Still really like it though
Thanks for pointing it out, havenĀ“t seen it yet.
What I like:
- Specs in the device "root" directory - just a nice addon!
- Portal posts on the right side - nice!
What I dislike:
- yellow buttons (e.g. "quote")...much too distracting color!
- my eyes are getting tired by the font
All in all: The "old" style is very effectice and clean...the beta seems to be too colorful & distracting for me

Yeah, the flat grey reminds me of something from the 90s, which is no bueno. I also think it's way to cluttered at the moment, and they should concentrate on making it easy to use and more streamlined.
But it's still beta, and clearly unfinished, so i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I don't like it so I switched back to XDA 2010. The 2013 theme seems like it was made in the early 2000s, with its cluttered UI and white/grey tone.
I like the idea, it's very modern, but it's too white. It kind of hurts my eyes after all the years looking at the other design haha.
didn't know it was out.
Will try and let you know
I like it, except for the device picture and specs in the root directory.
It looks nice, but every time I go to the root directory to switch between subforums, I have to scroll down to go to the sub forum I want to read.
I would guess 99% of the people that frequent these forums know the specs of the device they are reading about.
Hell I use the original one...the newer ones are too bright for my eyes.

Not too bad but needs more definition
In general the theme is pretty good but as others have mentioned it is very white.
In my opinion the pale nature makes it more difficult to seperate between the various elements of the page. This in turn makes it more difficult for the eye to quickly find the information that it is looking for ie the contents of each post.
I also agree that the page becomes difficult to read after a while due to the combination of the colours and the font/fontsize.
Cheers Roy
Not really a fan of the sidebar. Apart from that, looks clean. 7/10, would use.

I've got used for black/dark background in several years.
But in reviews of SGS4 i see that many apps/settings have white background. I just wonder if there is kind of theme switch in SGS4 to get already convenient black background or now we are stuck to white now?

The switch is called ROOT and Custom Rom.
I'm wondering the same thing. Given that the S4 sticks with Super AMOLED, this seems like a poor decision -- this white theme. Unless, of course, there's some sort of theming taking place, which I doubt else it would've been taken note of during launch. Although they can still change things from now until April 25...
I really hope we can change this white without custom ROM.

You would have to edit every apk for each app you want to change and make them use the device.default theme / halo theme instead of the device.default.light / halo.light

It is because the black/dark theme was the biggest **** ever. Amoleds aren't the brightest and gray text on black background ...... Seriously??? The inbox was virtually unreadable. While emails were unread they had white text on black background and that was OK. Once read they were some tone of gray on black background. In the car and outside it was impossible to make out anything. I had a shortcut on my home screen to enable the accessibility /negative colours specifically so I could read my inbox when it was it too bright where I was.
Admittedly they should just give you the option for me the bright theme is a very welcome change.

how do you know they're not comparing their early unit with the latest octa?
look it up on GSMArena, they had one of those early units with the white background, and then when they got the final one with the black backgrounds they did their tests and reviewed their review of the early unit. I still am pretty sure the latest firmwares do not have white backgrounds. look at the XDA post your battery results thread for example, all black.
I don't know why you're being so rude. do YOU have a store bought S4 with a white background?

Seeing some of the review videos on lollipop, including the Nexus 6 review, EVERYTHING is white on lollipop! The notification drop down, the background for all settings, and even the app drawer!

Besides being ugly as sin, that's going to be a significant drain on the battery! With the nexus 6 using an amoled display, why would they implement something so counterintuitive? One of the beauties of the moto x is how all the menus, app drawer etc look so elegant in black. On top of saving display energy usage.
I've searched everywhere looking to see if the theme would be customizable and there's nothing to suggest so. Comments?

There is an xposed module to convert white holo to dark, and probably it will convert white material to dark. On LCD white looks better but on AMOLED I prefer dark too
Afaik there will be dark theme for amoled.
I don't know where I read it but I read it somewhere. A few weeks ago.

Well it doesn't take an engineer to know a light background that requires an amoled screen to display uses more energy than a dark one where the pixels shut off. But that's that I suppose..
I'm running the latest preview on my N5. Yeah, it's white. Battery life? Much improved. Surprisingly so. I've no doubt the improvement in battery life will carry over to the X. I know there isn't a whole lot of room for improvement in performance on the X but it has made a startlingly difference on my N5. Sucks your not a fan of the design but for those of us that like it, it's an amazing upgrade. One I can't wait to experience on my X.
Edit: I understand your concern that the difference in display technologies will make the improvement in battery life mute but I can't imagine white backgrounds making that big a difference.

i am all for opinions, but the OS being white shouldn't "freak" everyone out if you have AMOLED screens. i interpreted your first post wrong and thought you were very upset to the point where you'll rage , hence why i said some need to relax a bit. i still stand by my opinion that i don't think battery is going to go down the drain. remember Project Volta, maybe that'll help a bit too. good discussion :good:

The battery aspect is secondary to me. It just seems counter intuitive to make a nexus device with an amoled screen and widdle down one of the big benefits of it.
My main concern is IMO its ugly as all hell. Material design looks fantastic. But the white folder type backgrounds reallyblook out of place and dated. Of course others may love it. I just hope/wish they give an option for a dark theme..

The battery aspect is secondary to me. It just seems counter intuitive to make a nexus device with an amoled screen and widdle down one of the big benefits of it.

i am on the fence with it. i agree, white isn't a good color, but idk if black would be a matching color for the home screen. heck, why doesn't Google just allow us to change the background app drawer page to whatever color we want. problem solved . looks like i will just have to endure the white (at least it isn't completely hideous lol)
Material Design is gorgeous. My eyes will be happy once devs get on top of that, not just Google

Exactly. I think by this iteration of android we should be able to have a color theme choice. Or an inversion mode to black out whites.
There were people that didn't like ICS/Kit Kat too. Deal with it.

This is the biggest change to the ui theme. ICS and KitKat didn't have this many changes. This is how I'm dealing with it, thank you.

Gingerbread to ICS was a much bigger change. You're welcome.

Not even close. Gracias!
We need a black theme because some of us are loving it, and because of this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56201295
