Is there anyway I can change the look of my status bar without an entire theme? I'd also like to change my notifications menu and all apps screens but I care more about the status bar I'm on virtuous 3.0.1

You have to open up framework-res.apk, look for a file named something like framework/drawable-hdpi/status-background.png (not the exact name, but its similar), edit it using photoshop to make it transparent (create a new layer, delete original layer, fill it with some color, and change opacity to some %), then put this new png back into the apk using 7zip.
Push it back into your phone using adb or create an update.zip using the tool found somewhere in this forum.
Does anyone know where I can download some custom icons and custom docks?
I don't want the iPhone icons I want something different..
Please help us out thank you.

This is a ported version of the HTC slate skin from sense 2.0 for Oxygen 2.1.3
I love the look of the new sense but I also love the speed and lightness of Oxygen.
Initial theme was done using UOT kitchen and I then substitute some drawable-hdpi and edited some XML:

01/05/11
Fixed random FC after menu text color was changed
you can either change the xml code for the writing or more easily
and better looking imo, make the popup menus black, like how they
are in gingerbread by changing :
menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
menu_background.9.png
menu_separator.9.png
These files are in framework-res or maybee systemui for gingerbread, im not sure.
I think these are the files for the menus but have a look and
see if they look like the same thing, you can just swap them for some
stock gingerbread ones which are black.
What's the name of the clock? FancyWidgets?
@esk02k Thanks for the tips, I was thinking about keeping the white background as in the Slate skin but I will probably go for a dark background until I find a solution
@Csharpe Yes it is Fancy Widget, could not find a Slate skin for it though so it is the standard H7C one.
Edit: I just made my own skin for FancyWidget, links on first post.
ok check out this post and a few posts onwards.

i was in the same boat but never solved it because its hidden somewhere for
htc sense. I was trying to turn the menus black and the text white,
for stock android you should be able to sort it tho.
its in styles.xml
I really love the slate theme, will give this a try.

Thanks Man that pointed me to the right direction and I got it fixed.
Great! I like it.
This might just get me back to AOSP! Awesome!
This looks amazing! Thank you so much!
Is it possible to have a launcher with an arrow for the app drawer for the dock? Thanks.

I guess it should be cut from a Desire HD screenshot and edited. I will try if I have time.
Just made a new version with stock gingerbread icons on statusbar but I modified the to glow in blue so that they blend better with this theme.
Zip on first post
Great work! Just tested the theme on Oxygen 2.1.1 and it looks fantastic. The blue is not too strong so in my opinion looks great! Keep up the good work!
One request if possible, can the battery percentage be removed?
Would anyone be able to make this into a Theme Chooser theme for CM7? I'd love them forever!
I am having FCs on Oxygen 2.1.2, PLEASE update!
Can you update this for 2.1.3?

Agreed, this was a great theme.
Updated Theme for 2.1.3 compatibility. I will keep only the version with blue icons on status bar.
Looking Fabulous. It's simple, and elegant....like me really. No seriously thanks for the update, and its a great tribute to not just yourself, but to the UOT Kitchen, which grows from strength to strength.
Will we be seeing a Dev-null version?
Thanks and Regards.
must have on my phone

I do not plan to do a devnull version but you never know
I did this theme for myself and I am happy with Oxygen, If anybody wants to convert it for devnull, feel free to do so and share.

updated thread with issue if right launchkey doesnt work.
great!..
Does anyone know of a way to change the font color of the lockscreen text? Or is that something attached to the theme chooser theme?
Never thought about it until today when I changed my background and all my text was unreadable.

You have to decompile the framework and edit some xmls... The hard part is setting up the tools needed to accomplish this. It can be pretty tricky if starting from scratch. In saying that I have a metamorph for my theme that changes the all text color including the lockscreen to blue. I have a red one but it's not separate like the blue version is. You can find a link to my theme in my signature. Let me know what you are looking for exactly?

Thanks for the info Smokem. I was hoping there was a quick way to change the lockscreen font color without using metamorphs or anything like that. I wanted some quick way to change it up on the fly while I was picking out new backgrounds for it. If it's more work than just clicking a few buttons or going through a color wheel then it's not what I was looking for lol.
Thanks anyways though =)
Well I understand what your asking for and if it existed I'd definitely recommend it lol. In all actuality metamorph is the easiest way to accomplish what you want. It can be as easy as a couple clicks . Just sayin...
