The point is...
first: get a topic (whats for that site???)... and create the theme according the central idea!
God damn
Jejeje its better to change your first posts maybe wyou will never has all the people reads you on your site.
The theme's alright, but it doesn't really matter too much. When I first came to XDA, I thought to myself, "God, this place is hideous!" But then, as I used it more and more, I became more used to the theme, and now I'm kinda fond of it (it's still ugly though). If the text is visible and the site is easy to see (not too dark or light), don't worry much about the theme, because the content of the site is much more important than how it looks.
And on a side note, you really need to change your user avatar on your site, because that is really f**ked up.

Hi Guyz,
Dont know what the hell came to my mind, but I wish last evening if I could see how we look like. We tried to help each other in one or other way but did you ever wish see how the other really looks like. We are from different culture,political states,geographical regions, XDA being the meeting ground of this wide geographical population must have our images on it.
I am not sure whether you people will be comfortable with it, there is no harm in showing your face(even if you are as bad looking as I am, LOL)
Come out with your nicest snap out there in your phone or somewhere else.
I am not sure if there have been attempts at opening such threads, but if the mods feel there is something wrong they can have their say.
Here I am with my recent snap to get started......
Note: No hard & fast rule about the picture, it can be of any size & dimension.
Lets get started...
Edit: After I saw guyz & gals getting off-topic I am forced to put this note. Just Dont be serious. This is a thread to have fun & let others have fun. We love to see your face not your developing or oratory skills. That can be shown in their respective threads. One comment is allowed for anyone not having his face put up here in this thread. Dont be stupid & come to the point, we are here to make fun, seriousness is something we will see in other threads.
ok here is a picture of me. this thread will be really cool if a lot of people upload pictures.
bah!
I dont know how this could be so fine... was a great idea for a great community.
here are a few of my snaps
me in college
me at home
me doing......i dont know what

You have the perfect "MOD" face Mike!
Great idea!

AGx-07_162 made a theme out this, but he had to leave the project because of lack of time, so he left it all to me.
I tried improving that, but had no luck XP and with school and hoemwork i have no time too :/
So I'm posting the private beta AGx sent me, the metamorph package i built (it gives me blank screen tho) and the PSD mockup, feel free to continue the theme's progress if you like
Just thank AGx for his hard work
Theme package (BETA) for CM 4.2.12:
http://fc2a26d8.linkbucks.com
Metamorph Package (Black screen) for CM 4.2.14.1:
http://9f86f6e5.linkbucks.com
PSD Source files (including launcher bg, analog clock, main theme file and default background):
http://e36def21.linkbucks.com
By the looks of it you have the theme done already...
np, its just photoshop, LoL, it's all concept art
Oh gotcha! Well it looks pretty sick, I'd gladly help...if I knew how...
Theming is all actually pretty simple.
If you want to make it yourself, I suggest starting with the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471586
From that you will understand how to theme and insert images. The only problem is finding the correct apk to change.
I'd gladly help guide you in making this theme if you'd like.
Sure ;P ill pm you my msn addy!

there's no reason. close it for now. let people PM him if they want to give suggestions or help. he doesn't even know how to theme and he's doing what lucky tried to do where as lucky had some knowledge/experience. just because your last theme became a reality doesn't mean this will. there weren't many who helped lucky and it took forever. what makes you think someone will speed up a theme like this? learn it and work on it on your own and slowly get others to help if you can. that's how you'll get somewhere. don't post until something is ready. i told lucky this already, and now i'm telling you. no hard feelings.... just a reality check .

the "other ones" were over-hyped and promises that weren't met. he is neither hyping anything or promising anything and no one is posting uncalled for comments, so it should be kept open unless it starts to go "downhill"

I dont know about others but Kryogen's last concept actually turned into a not very hyped theme, because I never posted a "comming soon" or even spoke a word of the fact that I was working on it until I released it.
As for you Kry, this looks even better than your Atlantis concept. May I have the PSD? I've actually been talking with someone who's interested in making a theme so I may colab with him on this (or just help out with it.)
[email protected]
Btw, I did try to add you on MSN, idk if you ever got it tho.

i was trying to make it with armored, he was explaining me how to theme already made the adv.launcher trays ... didn't receive any notify for your msn add ._. pm me your address!
And...close the 3d if you want
please come out with this
The title says it all I hope you come out with this theme you should keep it as it is on the screen shots you provided its perfect thanks
I like the wallpaper in the concepts though =D.
Would you mind sharing it? Thanks!
is this theme going to be made?
Yes, just wait
I really love the dialer, the rest looks good but its not something I would use. I'm a stock android guy, but the dialer looks amazing, please don't be offended
i swear the mods have nothing else better to do but to exercise their power by closing threads. I know its just a concept but by introducing it, it allows other devs to get involved and mayble contribute. c'mon man, stop being a queef and let this ride.
queef lol. I agree completely. One of the reasons I dont like the mods here.
Defo would love to see this...long as you dont take the G1_lucky route and hype up non sense im all in.
Ill even be a beta tester if you need
Very strange, and it was my first dream in a long time, let alone ever dreaming of a phone or software lol
so in my dream i had an in-person discussion with NilsP about his ROM about how i think he should add the 5 latest apps to the transparent dropdown. No biggie, 10min convo
Now im warped a few days later and im at like a BBQ party, and i meet someone and start showing him my phone and a few ROMs i had on backup
I pull down the transparent dropdown and see some chrome looking skulls, with red glowy eyes ... 5 of them across the top of the dropdown where the apps would be!!
So i say wtf is this? Maybe i never really broke in NilsP's ROM and its just now initializing or something??
Now the phone reboots itself and its some chromed skull theme, and the 5 recent apps are in the dropdown!!
In my dream i was kicking myself trying to figure out how the hell this ROM all of a sudden had it! Or did NilsP find a way to hack into my phone and add the feature i begged him for??
Last thing i remember is being puzzled and stumped, then i woke up
stupid as hell, but thats it lol
go ahead, flame away haha

Smooches babe! I've done a little bit to make things work better here. I'm sorry that I get pissed at ppl with negative comments that haven't. Want to hug it out?
So some of you may or may not remember a little old blog called Color Me Android from back in the day that was a screenshot based site. Well, it went down some months ago, and that was that. However. I tried to put a theme on my phone the other day (It's supposed to be so simple with the theme chooser, yeah?). Unfortunately, because it's so easy with CM7 and MIUI theme engines, that themes are EVERYWHERE. It takes you about a bloody hour just to find one.
So, I brought CMA back.
As a theme site.
It's a visual directory of all CM7/MIUI/ADW - type themes. It's in Open Alpha, and I'm inviting people to come, register, sign in, submit screenshots (Yes, I kept the orignal screenshot part of the site there) and help me find bugs while I finish adding themes. I've got 45 on the site so far. And I'm working my way down that ginormous list of themes that stickied in this forum.
So yeah.
Thoughts/comments/bugs?
or themes you want to see on the site? Tell me below.
http://colormeandroid.com
Sweet man thanks for bringing this back. Its great to have a easier way of finding themes and such.
sick idea. i'll deff be there alot as long as all the themes from miui get added there and lockscreens. =]

Once you register and log in there's a submit screenshot link that pops up so you can submit and view screenshots (a glorified 'post your homescreen' thread - but it's just like old school cma [hopefully])

Sorry, to prevent spam screenshots are sent in as a draft, and have to published by an editor (me). Otherwise people would just fill the form with crap. And it hasn't been notifying me, so I apologize for that. Also - the syntax for posting an image is the image tag in html not bbcode
so
Code:
<img src="url to image">
not
Code:

AH. I got my new phone and then went to your site to find some nice styles but noticed its changed a bit.
Am right in thinking the old site was more customised home screens than themes?.......If so is there anyway to see them again because thats what I really liked. People saying what widgets they used and custom graphics to make cool buttons etc.
But still the site is good! Maybe have an option to go back to the old version aswell?

Yes, it used to be a screenshot based site. I am going to be bringing that functionality back in the near future. However, I am still working on finding decent hosting. I can't afford anything so I'm looking for a sponsor. Until I find one, production is at a standstill. But yes, the screenshot portion of the site is going to be at screens.colormeandroid.com when I get everything set up eventually.
u had some epic **** back in those nexusOne days!
Hey, I truly truly truly miss Color Me Android. I saw the new site up a little bit ago. Is it back down again? Also, will there be a way of getting the old themes/screen shots back? Like archived? Anyways, Hope to see this again soon, I need inspiration for my Droid!
Take care
I recently updated my forum signature, thought it was kind of awesome, figured I'd share it and get people's feedback. I saw something like it, I just took it a step further. If you can tell me the inspiration, I'll give you a digital cookie. Otherwise, I wanted to see a topic for people to get creative with their signatures or ask for help on how to squeeze something in, or do something mildly artistic with it like I have. So yeah, GO!
Signature photos while cool and all, take only one little line of code to accomplish, I was hoping we could discuss text based stuff like my signature.
Huh, seems nobody cares to discuss artistic signatures. Oh well!
