You can view it from: User CP>Edit Options>Scroll down to the bottom>Forum Skin>XDA 2010 - BETA
It's pretty nice. Nice update to the look.

whoa. just changed it to check it out. diffinetly a big change. the font looks really light so its a bit harder for me to read it.

oooo I really like this. Definitely looks a LOT more modern than the old theme.

I like it!
I think aN XDA 2010 BETA theme for our phones would be cool

Its still hard to read.. I highlighted it. lol
And i love this new look.. i just have to get used to it.
Im willing to give it a full few days.

Haha my eyes had a seizure when the page first loaded. I like how modern it looks though, and I'll stick with it for a while

takes a bit to get used to but im liking it

I haven't used it yet, but I REALLY like the "multi-quote" button on this new theme.
It's a major change from the old theme, but it is a beta, so I'm sure anything majorly weird about it will be cleaned up later. I actually really like it. It's super clean and tidy

So much better than the pre-1997 theme we had before! Thanks for catching up to 2010 xda!

I used it for a day...
I REALLY like the way it looks but for some reason, on my phone, the sub-forum lists of threads scroll VERY SLOOOWWWWW.
Switched back

I like the new look as well. Love the XDAdevelopers font -- anyone know where I can get it?
I'll definitely give it some time. I've always thought the old theme needed a bit of face lift, so far this does justice.
Thanks for pointing this out gu1dry!

I just can't get into the app.. I prefer the fully functional version of the forum you get using the browser.

Lasted for about 15 minutes for me as well. Looks really nice, but I found it hard to read / find things. Probably just the "pain of change". I've grown too accustomed to the old layout...

Biggest thing for me is how little differentiation there is between quoted text and the new message. There was huge contrast in the old theme, and w/o it, it just makes it a little harder to read. Also, I noticed that, using the stock browser on the phone (i also don't like the app), when it resizes the text, you can't see who posted w/o scrolling. I find that annoying. Considering that 95% of my time on xda is spent on my phone, I almost have to go back.

I like it. I switched and will keep it permenant. It's quite nice. I wish they had a dark theme though where it was a white text on black background thing. That's how I have Visual Studio set up and I can last all day coding in it that way. With the default white background I only last about 4 hours before I have a huge headache....

[THEME] UPDATED 4/2/2011 Full transparent theme 1.0 for LeeDroid 2.3d/AuraxTSense v8

Full transparent theme tested on Leedroid 2.3d, AuraxTSense v8.4
This is hacked together of different peoples App draws and Notification bars, along with blue touches from the infamous carbon blue theme and now with Clear Glass Sense [esk0Glass 1.0].
Also has power notification widget.
In short the only credit i take is patching them all together so hope you guys approve.
UPDATE ON WAY HOPEFULLY !!! TESTED WORKING ON LeeDroid2.3d !!!!
Just waiting on permission from the maker of the zip I based it on.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
http://www.multiupload.com/52HQJ8OZZZ The excitement was too much, If anyone objects to me using anything in the theme they have added let me know and I'll remove it.

hi
good job, nice theme
ps:Take shoot me on market for make screen shoot it's free ;-)

Nice!
I wish there would just be option to use Circle Battery A for this.
And get rid of that android robot on pulldown bar.

If you want to change bits do what i did, open the file and change the images, im not a dev. I made this how i like it from other peoples work. I uploaded it here just to share it. I'll try and post a how to later

Can someone tell me how to install this or point me to a link that explains how.
Many thanks

Yeah, had to use the blue carbon theme as a base to get the battery to work properly as the original one i wad using only had 8 stages.
Wanna do a "how to" next so people can add their own icons and custom battery images. Think if the masses new how easy it was, we could have alot more themes.
Im no dev nor graphic designer but managed to chop it all together.
Im sure someone out there could build a solid base file ?
Ps. Any chane of getting this on the mini site, as it was designed to work on leedroid ?

Could you please tell me what files i have to change to get a transparent notification bar whit circle mod A?
Or if you could manage to put that together that would be even more awesome

I was looking for this, very cool!

Nice one markhd. Youve inspired me to get theming. I spent a good part of yesterday learning the ins and outs and after many nandroids and boot loops ive figured it out. Im gonna check out themes for other sense phones like incredible and evo and see what i can port over(if i can). Cheers

So your saying I have to flash my ROM to change the theme? Damn I didnt realise it was such a big deal. Think I'll pass.
Thanks

you have an desire rooted James ?

No havent rooted yet because I havent had a good enough reason to do it. I have a card that i bought so that I can create the gold card etc, just not got round to do it as changing the theme isnt enough to make me root it.

Hi james, the benifits for many people make it well worth while, in addition to themes there are many more things to play with. For example custom roms with extra features, the ability to run apps from sd fully, bootscreens, sounds, icons, widgets, even some apps ( do a search on the market). Various fixes for bugs and issues that have been corrected by devs on here are often only availably via a flashable .zip of which useually require root.
There are also risks involved, you could brick your phone / kill your cat / forget to do the washing up. But i have not known anyone on here have an issue that could not be fixed, and now orange uk is sorted i believe all rooting can now be reversed.
Anyony please correct above info above as appropriate as i wouldnt want to miss inform anyone, just tryin to help clear up some points.

very nice,
I did a bit of mixing myself a few weeks ago to rosie that you might like, most of it's from the gorgeous looking Riptide9's Color'N'Clear theme for evo
(I'm also using LeeDroid 2.2)

Looks cool mate, not so keen on the clock personally but thats just me. The icons look freakin awesome. Got some new widgets, facebook / twitter etc might mix these icons in too !q

Great theme, thanks for your work. Am using it on Alex-V 1.7 ROM.
Bit of a battery drainer though!

I like it, but any chances to mod this theme and have green buttons etc (not blue!)

I was about to boot into recovery and flash when I suddenly realized I was on the SuperVillainHD-train. I'm doubting that this will work.
Buuuut I'm gonna have to try, later.

[THEME][MIUI][WIP] FBUI - Facebookstyle

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.

Thanks for your comment. It is not possible to alter the listing options of the folder icon. It's defaulted to 4 icons in the folder icon.

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... ))

What does everyone think of the 2013 beta xda theme?

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, haven´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 wasn't crazy about either of these.

Well grey , black and white and nice design once seen (you can add here the brewer or JB extreme white and probably others) all lollipop variants and ultra colourful themes seems less than childish to me.
Still there are reddemonz,the vol, tranzendence and others I don't know for sure but,again, lolipop stuff is boring and bad choice from Google.
