dxTop Themes

Well, it's time I start working on putting together themes for dxTop so that non-root users can use them. I'm looking for theme authors to volunteer up there themes. I'm only looking to start with themes that will work with the 2 tabs in dxTop (or you can offer up additional assets) and have 100% of the Launcher skinned including the menu icons. Check out the dxTop site for a screen shot of the two tab layout.
If you want to give me permission to convert your theme to work with dxTop, please post here with a link to your theme's thread. Also, include how you want to be credited in the description on the market.
I only plan on doing a few to start. But I will be releasing source for building a themed for dxTop.
Thanks in advance for your help! I will start on this today.
Cheers,
John

you have my permission here is my theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472812 i have it on dx now here is how it looks if you use my theme just post theme from kron2 looking forward to source for building a themes for dxTop. and looking forward to quote Themes: I was thinking that is image resources are found on the sdcard, they could be loaded instead of the default ones. This would be an easy way to skin dxTop.

Feel free to use any and all themes made by me, should you want to.

Thanks guys! I have release dxTop with theme support along with Deep Black and Glossy Minimalism.
I will be looking to add the others as time goes on.
Thanks again!

The deep black theme caused a lot of lag on my phone. When dragging from screen to screen, the icons were leaving a trail behind them. Once I uninstalled it, everything was back to normal
EDIT: Nevermind apparently its the new update to dxtop, not the theme. It started happening again, even after a reboot

how deep does the dxtop support for theming go? Is it only the icons on the desktop etc or does it extend to pattern lock buttons etc?

Question:
I currently have the Rusty Metal theme installed through flashing the update.zip. If I switched to say Deep Black through the supported theme (not through update.zip), and didn't like it. What would I get if I switched back to default? The original stock theme, or Rusty Metal same as it was before?

Going back to original will use the stock resources so if you have a rooted theme installed it will show.

Sorry if this has already been answered but I just can't seem to find it.
Is the non-root theme unable to replace the status bar?

Correct, it can't change the status bar.

It's cool using the dxTop them in conjunction with a regular theme.
IE, I'm using the Glossy minimalist dxTop theme with the "Glossuite" competition theme, and it's cool.
Can't wait for more themes to be ported to dxTop.

Can you pleeeeease put up CARBON GLOW.

It looks simple and clean

I love the theme, but I would like to make a few suggestions if I may. There's a few things that I think would polish this theme up nicely. Themed Advanced Launcher, Stericson lockscreen option and the changing of "menu" to "apps" on the launcher.
Let me explain that last one. I'm not really a fan of it saying "menu" down there as my G1 also says "menu" below it (on the button) and the two "menu"s do two different things. It's a nitpick, but I think "apps" is better.

[METAMORPH] HERO FULL THEME 'the real hero' [UPDATE: NEW METAMORPH FORMAT] (05/06/10)

sO....HeRe It Is!
NOW HAS OVER 1,000 DOWNLOADS! THANKS! 05/08/10 ​
*NEW UPDATE 05/06/10* So, I updated the Hero theme with the new xml Metamorph format. I also added a few things to framework. Added sliding animations as well instead of the regular ones. Hope ya like it! [/B]
One thing though...IF you do get a Pop Up about Market messing up...no worries. This happens because of the framework-res change with metamorph.
BONAFIDE SOLUTION: Go into Settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications...look for Market..click on it..and then click on 'Uninstall Updates'. Once that's done...BAM! yA dOnE! All fixed! So yeah, apart from that..this thing's good to go!
CYANOGEN USERS WANTING THE BLACK NOTIFICATION BAR: Flash the Black Notification Bar first(recovery), then flash my theme(metamorph)
SUGGESTIONIf you have a white notification bar, and you really don't think the black hero launcher matches that, you can always go to my other thread and download the white hero launcher I have there. There's a screenshot in the OP of that thread if you wanna see what that looks like. Here's the download link for the white hero launcher tab for those who are too lazy. : http://www.mediafire.com/?unnyzzjmjnr
WORKS ON ALL 1.6 ROMS(Tested on Cyanogen and Fastest, but works on all)

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THIS THEME CAUSES AND YOU METAMORPH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Thanks to Stericson for making Metamorph
Thanks to Cacheinjection for his great work with Darkstar and the little tricks he taught me
Thanks to all the others I forgot to mention who deserve thanks

The htc calendar is from the market and it's called 'Pure Calendar Widget' and the people widget is also from the market and it's called 'Contact Sidebar'. Hope that helps!

giving this ago right now gonna use cyanogen for the full effect so ill report back tomorrow

Has anyone tried this on anything other than cyanogen?

The metamorph should work with any rom. and i see that you have a darkstar theme already, so that should take care of the black bar. but i also would want to know how the metmorphs work for other roms. it is really is made for any 1.6 rom. maybe you can. try it out and let me know.

Hmm...well, i will take the framework-res.apk off and get that fixed. Thanks for letting me know. I was debating just trying to make the framework available for metamorph as well and seeing if it works since that's much simpler and easier. Sorry about the inconvenience.
EDIT: WENT AHEAD AND REMOVED THE FRAMEWORK-RES AND WILL TRY TO GET THAT BACK (FIXED) ASAP

Must have for hero themes...
If you love the sense ui look as much as I do, then you should download "PandaHero - Hero Style Home" from the marketplace. I have attached a screen shot to get a better understanding of why this is needed. For the first time, the buttons at the bottom actually function like they do with sense ui. The left for apps, center for phone, right for settings. Absolutely must have app for anyone who loves hero themes.

I have actually tried this app before, and yes, you are right. It is very much like having sense on the g1, but the thing that got me off that app was that it runs like the sense ui rom on the g1, which is...slow. Very slow with this app..which is why I wanted to make this theme because I really like sense ui, and I didn't want the slowness that came with it, and this metamorph gives one the sense look without slowing down the phone because it is only 2MB. I'm glad you shared though, because ppl might not mind the lag, and it's beneficial because ppl don't have to flash anything. Again, thanks for sharing.

No problem man. Believe it or not, I didn't really mind the lag of actual hero roms, so the lag from this app isn't that bad in comparison. The ONLY reason I didn't stick with hero rom's is because I love my bluetooth more then sense ui.

[Q] Help create a Steampunk theme...?

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...

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!

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.

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? ??

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.
