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
I'm putting up the finishing touches of a new Android app and I'm torn about one thing. I can't decide if I should make my application with white text on a black background or black text on a white background.
Is there a preference either way, or should I build the app in such a way as to let the user decide?

let the user decide as me i use the desire with is amoled which means takes more power to create a white color (so i believe) so most apps such at the xda tap a talk is black but i know some people would preffer white, but if you are just going for one color without swapping to save programming i would go for black background
I agree. Black background.

Building the app so it can be customized by the user may also make it simpler for you to make changes throughout the app later on since you set up a flexible framework early on instead of hardcoding colors.
I have a N1 w/AMOLED but I can't really say that I get a whole lot better battery life with apps that have a black UI. I would say do any color that works better aesthetically.
Thank you. I really appreciate the input.
Please go white it makes the application so much easier to use and im on a hero so almost everything is balck
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.
+1.
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.

With this in mind, I'm going to close this thread and you can PM a Desire mod/Senior mod, when you are ready with the theme.
Ok so lots of heated opinions about the default Oxygen theme and I don't want that to detract from the main ROM, after all I just do pretty pictures (or not so pretty lol).
I've also decided to turn this into something positive and in the spirit of community development open up the floor for discussion.
So what would people like to see changed in the theme?
Really like the theme, maybe a little more green than lime
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Can it be possible to make it so that the user can change the color through the UI?
Wanted to change the orange highlights and rollovers in OD to blue but not sure how.
Wrong section, this should be in desire general, themes and apps its just for what it says not discussion threads

First of all, thanks for your work on the theme for this great rom.
As this is all about personal preferences, I would prefer the following...
1) maintain the exact same color for each icon
2) going back to the original oxygen blue would be more attractive
3) a black notification bar
I imagine that those of us who are attracted to AOSP type roms would also prefer simple elegance as opposed to bright and flashy.
Change wallpaper in each home
Good day as will all?
The theme is very good ... I least liked what I saw!
But I have a problem that I don't know if it would be possible to solve!
I currently use 2 launchers ... the ZEAM and update Gefrost 60 g (Emuphirus) that mimics the launcher Galaxy S ... anyway ...
But if you change the wallpaper of a laucher when dumb to another change that I made before the current in the launcher applies!
Wish I could have 2 different homes in each launcher, each one with your wallpaper ... issopode opinion tosco, but is something that I would love that could do to further improve the theme!
This would be possible?
Thank you..and congratulations for the beautiful initiative a unique moving trhread discussion on the topic here!
I would like to share my opinion.
I liked your theme it was nice but i didnt use it. Simply because my wallpaper didnt match it. When you use colors (lets say that light green is quite aggressive color) in theme they look good only when they match wallpaper and wallpaper is something everyone got different. So the safest option and the one that looks great with almost all backgrounds is black or white or any color of grey.
Thats why with OD, greatest popularity had simple black bar or as it was for me the stock white option.
I would love to see your icons in grey on white notification bar, custom lock-screen that would match notification bar colors and dock for luncher also in same taste.
So in my opinion you should focus on those neutral colors that would appeal to more people and then add some colors to it just barely, to hit that sweet spot between flashy and too simple.
Mix of ClassicalGas (flat) and BlueFrost, in white would be that spot for me.
I love the default theme, and the add-on theme. Very fresh, and isn't that what this project is about? You have my vote, and loyalty.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hmm I would prefer something similar to what CM did with his ROM, with just a simple .xml file to edit to change the colours. I want to flash over a white notification bar, but the clock got stuck at whitish, so I had to flash a black one. Anyone else knows how to change it (easily)? Without modifying files dangerously?
I'm quite sattisfied with the green (lime) theme, I just exchanged the header and footer in the drawer (I took them from the Elegant Steel theme ) and now it's really ok for me.
I'm going to change the orange highlight color to green / lime, too. Then there will nothing be left to complain for me nice theme by the way!!
I think the green need to be the same green all throughout. For my tastes there is currently too many different shades of greens and greys.
I like this theme. Not bad. I also agree with people who support that a stripped down rom should have the option to flash/change a theme instead of forcing it.
The only thing I do not like very much with the theme are the G/E/H icons. Not very visible. I would prefer something more colorful, or the most common arrows used than a letter that is half blinking.
Sorry for not contributing with any constructive criticism, but wanted to thank you for your hard work. I really enjoy the theme! Great work.
Personally really liked the theme - everyone has different tastes. As usual with these things 50% of people will never be happy no matter what changes - I think you and Adam should just keep doing the things you like and if people want to use it they can do. After all you could not release it and no one could use it which would be a real shame.
I kinda like the new theme, got a few "disslikes" thou.
The green color doesn't seem to be the same everywhere in the notification
The battery seem to have a few extra pixels in every corner
The logo, dunno why I don't like it thou, but me and my friend posted a few alternative logos in the Oxygen-thread, dunno what other guys think about them thou.
other than those 3 notes i like the idea of an speciall oxygen theme!

I liked the icons. When no activity on the connection it is gray almost invisible, when it has activity it turns green clearly visible. You can see in the Market picture attached.
@1000moths
Could you look at the attached images, I have some suggestions. Thanks 1000moth loved the theme.
...one last thing, When I installed the 0.2.2 I did not got your wallpaper with the Oxygen logo somehow got my old wallpaper. Now I do not know how to get your wallpaper again. Would you mind telling me how can I find this wallpaper inside the rom? Or maybe you could post it? EDITED: Already found in the zip posted below.
Thanks again man.
Current status -
White pixels on battery - Fixed and changed the battery to face the other way bit like MIUI
The lime green - I'm going to switch this to the official Android green #A4C369 it's less "aggressive" but may look a bit washed out but we'll see.
Status bar - I've gone with blacker version for the next itteration
Header bar - i've removed all Oxy branding for the time being.
Uploaded a flashable zip below so you can check it out.

Just downloaded and flashed the zip, and I must agree looks a lot nicer now and didn't notice those little extra pixels around the corners of the battery icon until someone mentioned it lol,
I am impressed with oxygen and I've only been running it an hour with vorkkernel r8 and man is it smooth.
Good work on the theme tho mate if you made the notification drop down a lot darker like the bar would be sweet.
And I think the background on the notification drop down looks "weird" cos it's got a carbon like texture on there?
This is strictly for showing off what you have done with your N910P while using the 5.0.1 Alliance ROM!!! This is not the actual development or download thread for the ROM. That is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-0-1-allianceromn910p-18-themes-huge-t3066673 Please post screenshots of your Alliance ROM tweaks on the N910P. Also, to be helpful to others, tell if you have used other themes in your modifications. No bashing of others for what they have done. Be tasteful with your post cause keep in mind that their are some amazing young minds that are also on this site. I guess that's about it. Have fun & be proud.
Here's my mods. I am using the Carbon Blue theme from Alliance Control, my home screen is set using Nova Launcher with the Future 3D Launcher & Locker theme set for folders & background. The keyboard is from A.I. Type Keyboard Plus that I created myself & can be downloaded from the Theme Market, just look for Joebear1975. Today was my first day of playing around on this ROM & I'm addicted to it & can't with to discover & share my next mod.
A HUGE thanks to the ALLIANCE ROM team for putting together such an amazingly customizable ROM. Also another HUGE thanks & shout out to @lacoursiere18 for helping me set this thread up. [/COLOR]
Nice! I look forward to seeing more theme setups from other users. Awesome rom with tons of customizations.
