Is there any way to use pieces of a theme as oppose to having to apply an entire theme. For example: I like a set of icons but I don't like the font color(outline). Any ideas?

Hey guys, greetings from over at the SGS4G section. My wife has a mt4g and wants some more themes... But she won't let me root it or change it in any way...lol.
So.. are there any themes that she can add to the stock rom?

No, not without root. Your only option is to change the look of the homescreen by using a third-party launcher like LauncherPro or ADW. Those offer a lot of customization and can be used without root. Launcher themes don't change near as much of the phone's appearance as a full system theme does though.
Dxtop, go launch

yep, best bet is the hundreds of different themes with 3rd party launchers.. adw/launcher pro. If she wants wants to change the look of her icons i think anycut or bettercut doesnt require root. Desktop visualizer is worth a look ad well.

Go launcher ex is free and has a bunch of themes. Also they are icon packs u can choose if you put them on your sdcard from the themes section I believe. Desktop visualizer will let you change the icons on screen and go launcher will let you put custom icons on the bottom bar.

I just flashed MIUI to my X tonight, I already have it on my Nook, but I am not a fan of having all my programs on my home screens or having to put folders on my home screens either. That being said, I do like the theme options and I want to use some of the icons that the launcher uses, namely the dock background, the phone icon, contacts, etc....So, anyone know where I can find them?

They are all system apk's that you will have extract to get to those images. I would think the same goes for the dock background (should be under some sort of launcher.apk). I'm not on MIUI but I would imagine that's where they are at.
I tried the system apks, but the themed icons are not there.

As I am new to the Android platform I would like to know how to change my icons. I plan on flashing to the Eclipse ROM, but I do not like the icons on it. I either want to use stock or a minimalist icon set.
If anyone can tell me what to use to do this, and possibly some good icon sets I would appreciate it very much.

Try adw launcher. Has a bunch of themes to pick from which have any number of plug and play icons. Of you are talking about the status indicators such as Battery and signal that's when you need to think about a ROM. Otherwise a launcher with theme support is all you need.

I changed the look of my phone drastically with a different launcher and different apps and icons. I absolutely dislike touchwiz..
Now I was wondering if I can also change the look of the settings and notification dropdown. It looks strange compared to everything else on my phone. How come htc managed to make a decent looking settings menu and touchwiz looks unfinished? especially ugly are the square pop up boxes... I love my phone but this is something I'd like to change.

HI, I'm scissors_cut_paper. I have recently taken a disliking to sacrificing my home screen real estate for a dock. I am currently using slimkat, which has the ability to assign a long press function and custom icon to navbar buttons. To that end, I have created some dual use navbar icons, based on stock kitkat, but representing both functions of the navbar key. Now i'm no themer, but paint.net is pretty easy to use. If anyone has good ideas or request I may entertain them, though I would recommend having a play yourself.
To set these keys/icons in slimkat use settings/navigation/navigation bar/buttons.
The current icons I have made are-
Notification pulldown/longpress Quicksettings (Never reach for the top of your screen again)
Back/longpress kill app
Home/longpress application draw
Recents/longpress menu
Filemanager/longpress ?

All credits to slim for implementing the functionality, all i did was make some buttons.
Video of implementing (not everyone will need this, took me a while to figure it out though) http://youtu.be/ist7kSStb9k

any videos on you using it? Im interested...
YouTube link added in OP. Can do a quick video of how to implement (in slimkat, anyway) if anyone needs? Also did some cleanup, changed file explorer icon to better match stock theme.

Very nice man...your wallpaper is taking many threads by storm now too...
Slimkat also has navring features for those who don't like docks.

Still trying to figure out what I want to do with my ring.I've got shortcuts set up in the QS, combined with the pulldown button in navbar means they appear right above where your finger already is.
