Making a theme:) - Epic 4G General

So far I think its coming along good. Tell me if the color is OK. I'll post screenshots. I am aware that there are still some blues. I'm working on this. It takes a while because I have a work around for the systemui.apk that I need to use because my apk manager doesn't do the job right . Anyways, please give me some feedback!

Not sure. This is my first them. I'm keeping it simple. Maybe later. The screen shots are poop. The real color is way better. Its bright and beautiful

Looks really good man, I always like the contrast of yellow on black ( huge fan of gb green on black).

Thanks. Should I make the button press green or like a whitish-gray? I mean like when u select something. For example when u press Apps in settings. The highlighted color. I'm not sure if I want to make it green cause it might be to much green. What do you guys think?

Nope... the cm devz kept what was blue blue and what was yellow yellow.. not saying they're lazy but they didn't theme it... I guess its based on cyanogens framework so. Ya get what get just extract the frameworks contents and look through the drawble-hdpi and you'll find a bunch of yellow selections.

Dammit!!Getting frustrated here -.-. I cant find it. I even changed the one that said "highlight_pressed" and nothing. maybe because when I save as and then put the .9.png's im putting a bunch of .9.png's and not just one. could this be it? I doubt it.
I did like half of what I was trying to do. The highlight works in xda app. But I want to change the blue from when ur in home the press menu then"select" system setting. Can't get it >:/

Update-Getting these together. It looks pretty good. Will be done maybe by sunday. Maybe an update will be out by then:/. But its ok!!. Its looking beastly

The framework is because Google is lazy. Most of the images you'll want to edit are in SystemUI.apk, but there are still a couple hundred images from framework-res that are still used. Fwiw, I'd theme everything. Never know nowadays if an image in a framework is used or not lol.

Circle bat with 5 bar signal

Hey just thought I'd share this incase there is anyone out there like me who really likes the circle battery indicator but also really liked the 5 bar signal indicator aswell...all I did was pull the
Circle bat from Frankencat here:
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=684
and replace the battery icons from jjohns63 in here:

Ok so I dont have a lot of time to redo the colors but I've had several requests for the colors to be tweaked (the blue to be more inline with the Nero remix blue) or the Green
any votes on specific colors?
I'm not making any promises but depending on what people want I'll see what I can do
wow so no opinions on colors eh?

Working on this, but in the middle of moving so haven't had much time
OP updated with Screen Shot
btw quick update this does with with bionix v1.2
This is a great mod which which works just fine with TW Bionix V 1.2. I wonder why Team Whiskey or the creator of Slightly Better Gingerbread (SBG) do not incorporate this battery mod as it is infinitely more readable?
Are there any reports of unreliability?

I've had no reports of Unreliability.
I do want to mention though that if you do use it on Bionix V1.2 it will revert the "H" icon back to "3g"
Warning I have serious suspicions that this will NOT work with Bionix 1.2.1 (due to the new Lock screen/changes to the Framwork.res)
I've been working on this but things are still crazy busy...and I've needed to spend more time with the family.

Please replace all the GREEN with BLUE as in your other Gloss theme. Love these teaser pics posted here...pleaese keep going...looking forward to alpha release
Maybe add some AOSP touch? like transparent white notification? and I really liked your gloss blue sense launcher-so maybe use that? Or maybe something with a Slate/espresso style launcher...
Well,this is really thoughtful of you m8,tnx
But what users want is max customization,i.o.w. different options,not just 1 totally re-done (red,for example) theme.The options for the user to choose what he wants from a number of options (like a built in mini-kitchen into the ROM)? would that even be possible.? ...cuz that would be amazing!
Definitely get rid of green . Blue and more blue plzzzz
i would like a black flip clock with animation carbon style, simple black, something like that...
get rid of the green is also a good idea hehe
also make the dialer pad dark
fly-in animations, circle battery, coloured icons... i like that
my favourite theme is this one for insertCoinHD, would like to see something out of it in a 2.1 theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12021611&postcount=6680

[THEME] VectorDroid [CM7] 5/1/2012 screenshots are up!

This is the first theme I have ever put together, I'll add more details later. From what I know so far this theme supports mdpi devices ONLY! I'm not sure if it'll work on ldpi or hdpi but feel free to try it out and let me know how that works.
This is a CWM flashable zip with the theme apk, custom fonts, and a nice boot animation to go with it.
Instructions: Go to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, flash the zip, reboot, and enjoy! The other stuff is extra, if you still want it all I'll provide it for you.
This theme is a mix of UOT Kitchen theme elements along with a mix of green and transparent elements that I liked so I put it all into this theme.
Note: You can use this on any CM7 rom but your rom MUST have transparent status bar support otherwise it's not gonna turn out transparent like in DarkenCypher's screenshot. I suggest wiping cache and dalvik cache before flashing, someone reported bootloops. Hopefully wiping both will fix the problem.
I'm not responsible for any damage this does to your device, you know the risks of flashing any file and I would assume that you know since you keep staring at that screenshot and are probably thinking of trying this out
Enjoy

you can try editing the layouts,
i'm sure it has it somewhere in the layouts or tracking that reveals the space by pixels,
problem is maybe you can't slide the drop down anymore with such declarations
i've seen one before but i'm sure it's there
also your sig is way too huge my friend
can you trim it down i lil bit?

i think you will lose the pulldown in this since the declaration for the statusbar is annulled,
maybe you can declare the statusbar in another xml to make it remain,
this process though,
