Hello People, sorry for the bad title i couldn't think of another.
My name is xiq and i've been on this forum since 1-2 years, because I really appreciate the tools etc. =)
I'm looking for a way to make something like a more advanced skin for my wm phone.
I have a Eten M800 with a VGA display (not very good), and a Palm Treo 750 with a square display.
Well i really think that the Treo's not really good dressed with Windows Mobile's Appearance, so i want to make a more standard skin, something very basic.
I thought about something like this:

Home Screen

Menu Version A

Menu Version B
Icons © by "Zerode.com", i just used them for a quick "sketch"
---------------------------
As you can see, it's not really so mad about touch like most projects, i don't want to center on a yank-a-doodle-dandee
Maybe someone want to team up with me?
I'm a experient Designer, as you can see on photobucket,
I'm also the guy behind the XeBoy Advance skin (v0.4 upwards)
I'm just not the fittest at programming...
Does any of you guys know of an easier way to realize this?
come on people, 200 views and no idea?
FIY, i don't want to find a skin, I want to make one, just a simple clue would be awesome =)
Moved to correct section for more coverage.
bumpedy bump still interested
well, it's been some time, but i'm still bumpin'
Hello sir my name is not Trekfan422991 but that is my username and i have what you are looking for...
the program you should use to achieve this skin is called
THROTTLE LAUNCHER..
with a little XML. you can design any kind of Theme your little heart can imagine...
this theme you are asking about would be sooooo!! super easy to code....
i can either do the coding for you...
or even some GRaphics ... i am a graphic designer...
take a look at one of the beautiful popular themes i ahve made for peoples phone .....
HERE
i would be happy to partner up with you to bring this theme to your device..!!!
i realized that your Eten M800 has a joystick and you post says your not looking at the touchscreen aspect of the theme....
so if you want to use the joystick for navigating the theme if i make it in throttle launcher .. will not be possible... you will still need to use the touchscreen to navigate the theme
Try ThemeGenCE its great for starters (well I'm still using it )
Ok folks, my friend just got a hero and we were talking about why to root. I showed him several ROMs from this site and all the cool themes. We got to talking about how cool it would be if there was a STEAMPUNK themed ROM out there.
Here's the rub... I SUCK at theming.
I looked at the "buufed" rom and I like some of the style, but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. Props to the developer of that ROM because it's very thorough. This is the depth I'd like the Steampunk theme to have, but I just don't know how to do it. I've never built a ROM from the ground up, so I don't even know where to start.
Is anyone out there interested in a project like this, or could someone help me know what to do?
Thanks!

A steam punk theme would be pretty awesome
It has begun...
Ok... I have a great deal of respect for all you devs and themers out there. This is a beast. Time-consuming and not very forgiving...
I have started working on my steampunk theme. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far. By no means is this a complete theme. I am using ZenHeroFX 2.0 by nfinitefx45 as my base. Credit to all artists/devs for their work.
I have themed the notification pull-down as well, but I don't have a screenie of that yet. Also, I themed the stock sense rosie, but (again) no screencap yet. I'm curious what y'all think...
-mb
Looks cool so far.
Wow. You're a fast learner! Here are some clear notification bar icons that I made. You can use them so that the black squares wont show up around the icons in the notification bar. Just unzip the zip file, and you'll see the folders that the icons are supposed to go into. Good luck!

(when I say clear, I mean that they are white with a clear background)

Awesome! Thanks. That file is really helpful! I'll post more screencaps when I can do some more work on the theme.

This is looking really good. Here's another theme I found a while back that has some of the same elements of csrom and your current build. I've never used it, but maybe something in there will help you, or maybe this dev can help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478570
wow! this looks ... awesome! not usually an "extreme theme" kinda guy, but this I would use!
sadly though, I am using CM6 or AOSP, so would not actually end up using it, but I will be watching this thread for S&Gs anyway. the end result should look spectacular.
if I could add one "suggestion"? Get rid of the "branding" (SteamMod in big letters on the lockscreen?), I would think ppl would rather have something less intrusive in the look. I know I would. something clean and mechanical. just a IMHO kinda suggestion, great work regardless!

No problem-o... I appreciate the suggestion. Funny thing, too... I was using some of the mods from this on my daily use, and I thought "I need to take off that lettering 'cuz it's getting on my nerves." I'm just going to use it as the splash screen when sense loads rather than on the lock screen.
I have to take a break from this for a couple of days, but hopefully I can work on it some next week. Here's where I'm going to have most of my problems... DISTRIBUTION. I can theme my own phone b/c I know what I'm editing... I just am not sure how to make it so others can use it without bricking their phone. Any ideas? I hate Metamorph... was thinking more of a flashable zip? Or maybe just a themed version of a full ROM? ??
-mb
I may be way off, but I'm a Hero user and digital scrap "designer". I have photographed and extracted some Steampunk watch parts that you are welcome to use if you like for your theme.

The DL links are right below the pics for each post. Again, if I'm way off and you think my stuff sucks, disregard this post!
I love your theme btw!
I have abandoned this project... it was too big for me to take on. If anyone wants to pick this up...?

that's too bad, one theme I was really looking forward to.
and no, dont know diddle about theming.
Ok here she is after having to start over 2 times...damn DEV are working hard and can't finish before a new rom lol.JK keep up the awesome work guys.I am still learning the theming business so any help would be awesome i'm learning Photoshop on the fly here.Also i wished to change the text to white for visibility issues but like i said still learning. I'm looking for suggestions on changes and any help anyone would like to give me.Ok the thanking part the deskclock meter on top came from a Droid X rom Liberty 1.5 HC <awesome work guys>.
edit - First release (very rough as seen in screenshots also no clock)
edit - Second version is up, and good news i have a Partner GTO777 has taken the time to get things rolling with White text and custom wifi drop downs and a NEW drop down battery (very nice).He's hard at work thinking of new things to do including a possible reboot option.This is still in the works so keep an eye out it's just getting better.
Edit- Had a chance to work on this alot today and it shows in big ways. V3 will be up as soon as me and GTO777 and get back together and put all the adds together. Also am looking for Testers on any/all TNT lite roms <I believe this is able to be applied to them> if you would like to try the latest releace on TNT please PM and i'll give you a link.
edit- version 2.5 is up and looking great. still have those home buttons to look at lol.White text is not in this but working on getting it done.TY and please like always post a respons so others will try it.

http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...an-one-giant-leap-liberty-1-5-2-2-2011-a.html
Nice, this will give us something to do till we get the real deal: -)
Only thing I'm not fond of is the circle battery, I've never liked the look of them compared to a standard style battery meter.
I know I'm in the minority here, but maybe 2 versions with different battery meters?
Looks good so far though.
Awesome z Thanks... Vegantab has been getting all the theming love... Happy the TNT ers can now get in on things!
Looking really good. May have to try it with adw to get the same number of rows and columns as the xoom.

Also I here their are vegan roms with themes please link some favorites mabey we can blend it in.

Looks really good, I am working on something similar. Makes me happy for more themes . The TNT framework has a lot more then most frameworks, maybe work together? PM me.
I have this so far:
No pics sorry, but it has some white text on the drop-downs working on getting the rest. Toasts, pop-ups, and drop-downs have honey border, and.... I think the battery and wifi drop-down match the transparent blue stuff, the battery was annoying.
I need to do the home screen icons, add more white text in the drop-down, and I wanted to reorder the buttons in the bar, also make the drop-down shadows less transparent....
popups

Thanks to both of you... I'll be pulling this when I get I the office this morning to play. Looking forward to it!
(edit) just read the fine print... Question, will it work on the non-meat eaters? (vegaN)
...sent from my ' un-stock' vibrant
thanks if you like it so far You like it even more when we are done with it. As far as the Vegan goes no there is alot different in the Framework that tnt uses sorry.
How about cyanogen? Can I use it on7?
Ok just so i don't have to keep replying this is for TNT roms, It was made for the TTX rom but will most likly work on the TNTL and roms like it. It is too diferent from Vegan and CM7 sorry.
Hey kicker, pm sent ur way
Anymore updates on this project? Everything is looking great. I'm running the latest TnT Lite and will be testing this out shortly.
+1 I am def looking forward to this!
Looks sweet. Thanks.
well guys sorry for the delay was moving to a new house and had no net.
Anyways it seems as tho my partner is MIA lol.and i liked the theme very much but i need white text and like i said i'm learning this so as of right now i think i'm done unless i can find help. Thanks to those of you who tried it out and responded. I'm not out of the game yet just think i'm going to move on to something just not sure what yet.
I'm new to the droid world and don't have a lot of time (or talent) to theme like the artists here do. But, I would like a theme done for my Optimus T if possible. Has to be classy and I would like to base it on this wallpaper (see attach).
Don't care what you use to theme it..but WidgetLocker seems to be the best so far...(I haven't DL'd the app yet to install it which is why I don't care what you use to theme it...)
Only requests...
1) classy and simple (this is a work phone as well)
2) stay with the whites/greys/blues in the main picture...
3) I would like to have a new slider, I need a calendar, weather, and clock.. anything else added is cool...
I WILL PayPal to whomever it is that provides me the coolest theme..(there might be several). It's probably easiest if you post screenshots here first??
Feel free to PM me if any other questions arise...
otherwise good luck and great work...
You may not have talent but I'm sure you could make it on your own. If you like minimalism, then download minimalistic text and put allnover your homescreen and use widget locker to put it there too. If you like something else I'm sure you can find a widget to suit.

Download Go Launched Ex is the best home launcher and its free, plus you get free themes.

I appreciate the advice, but that's not completely the point.. yes, I could throw something together and have it be ok (that's what I've done so far)..
I'm more interested in seeing what sort of designs people can come up with. Aside from paying them for the design they do for my phone..there's probably some additional design work that would be offered...

Mmmm pay. Too bad I also have no talent.

If you are running a rom with the theme engine, I would suggest the blue version of NTSense. It's quite lovely and classy.
It would look similar to this:

Hello everyone!
I've got a quick and simple question for you: what themes do you want?
Name a theme you like, and I'll let you know if I can port it. If I can, I'll get in contact with the developer to get permission, then it'll end up here as a Clockwork-flashable .zip file.
Easy, simple, painless.
And, as a special thanks to anyone who donated previously, send me a PM if you've got any theme requests or special changes and I'll see if I can make it happen!
I don't know about theming, because I've always used a custom launcher and kind of dig the dialer they gave us on the Revo (it looks like the one on Go Launcher), and the power buttons in the taskbar being stock is kind of cool too.
But I kind of always liked the circle battery taskbar theme along with the ability to throw the percentage in there. I think the former is an actual theme part, and the latter is part of CM?
edit: and as far as donations are concerned, after all you've done for this community, and the time you spent on this device, that you don't even own, you don't owe me anything (I and this community technically owe you) I'll make requests from time to time, but don't feel that you have to meet them. Just suggestions.
I used to use NexTheme on my droid but any theme that has black (or dark background) with white (light) fonts will do. I just think that contacts, email, messaging, etc should have the same color scheme as the rest of the phone interfaces/apps (i.e.: settings, alarm clock, calculator, etc.)
how about the pull down being transparent. a theme like CyanGalaxy and frost with the aosp froyo sliders or gingerbread sliders.

Any particular theme in mind?
(also, anyone else played with the Evo3d? Friend dropped his off at my house this morning so I could try to root it along with the other devs. It's _really_ cool!)
yup, i work in the mobile field and played with the evo 3d.... i believe i have fallen in love with sense again, 3.0 atleast the locksreen is pretty amazing, wish something like that could be ported over to the Revo. has anyone tried that new honeycomb launcher?
Why do I keep going Verizon? Axing their unlimited plan, highest rates of any carrier, and inferior phones compared to lower end competitors.......
I was seriously considering switching to Sprint after the announcement of the relinquishing of the unlimited plan.
Had the Evo 3d been available at the time, that may have convinced me to take the plunge.
Kind of makes me sad...

hey thecubed, will these themes be sent out individually to the person who request it or will it be released to the public.
Released to the public, I should have them done here shortly. I'm working on porting the the stock Gingerbread theme firstly-- the come the requests. (I like the GB theme )

If you already have their unlimited 4g plan then you arent going to lose it. You are grandfathered and to change your plan would be to break your contract. Same things happened to me with other aspects of the plan. I pay 5 bucks a month for 1000 texts to anyone not verizon and unlimited texts to other verizon, I have had this plan sine 2004 and they obviously stopped it back then. I just havent edited my text package and therefore still have the same plan. Same concept different part of their service. Oh and Cubed, thanks so much for what you are doing, and the basic 411 you gave me, and I would love to see the white chrome ported.
theme like evil fascination
i came from the fascinate and loved evil fascination theme. would love to see the extra's like black facebook, blackened sms and mms. and so forth.
If we could get theme chooser on here so we can just download whatever from the market that'd be awesome. The vivid theme on there is very nice!

I am a fan of the darker themes myself so I'd go for an evil revo theme
I would LOVE to see just about anything ported over from Miui.. Heres a thread with some amazing lock screens that would look great on our nice big screen =)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657
Think this is possible to move over to Revo?
Hey Thecubed, I dig the go launcher ink icons. But they have like 12. An expanded library of them would be stellar.
I like the HTC Thunderbolt dock.
Most of all, I like clean lines, and a dang near clear home screen. I use Go Launcher, so my swipe down motion opens the status bar. The only thing I have going on is the dock bar.
Edit... Alright. So I downloaded HeLauncher. I love it. I like the different options. So I have been playing with the Samsung Theme. I dig it.
I use the "Paperless system" adw theme. It would be neat to see the theme extended into the taskbar, keyboard, ect...
