I'm creating a new theme, but I have problems with this file. I followed some "how to" guides, but I still don't get it.
This image should make round corners, but I always get a wrong-stretched image. I have been working on this for some days and I don't get, maybe I'm too stupid, can somebody help me?
PD: of course I used drae9patch and other method, but , no way
just make it 320 pixels in width and you can avoid signing it.
draw9patch is useless without having eclipse set up. eclipse is what allows for the stretching to be maintained. however, like david said, you can just scale the image to that width without having to worry about using the more complicated methods of stretching/compiling a .9 png.
I thought about this too, what, you know, that's the easy way and I wanted the hardest and best way, but I didn't know that eclipse is necessary for this. Now, I know, and until I learn about eclipse, I will use your method.
Thanks to all!. It's nice to have guys like you here

hehe, you're doing what I did with Darkstar I can edit the .9.png for you, but what'd be the fun of that? you've got to edit the .9.png so that it only stretches the area between the black curves. If you've already done that then the problem is how you're using eclipse. It is really tricky to get eclipse set up to work right, but you need to do it eventually if you plan on making themes. Just keep reading through the tutorial and you'll get it eventually ^_^ It took me a long time to figure it out at first too

Of course, I'm using this idea, remember I asked for help by private message, because I think this size fits better with the widgets in your theme, but I didn't get answer, so, I decided to make my own theme and ask for help in a own threat. I was going to give you credit in the future theme's thread for the idea.
My problem was, that I didnt use eclipse, that's why I got crazy. So, until I learn how to use it, I'll use a 320px png.
Thanks
if you use 320px width then in landscape mode it'll looks bad..

when it is an image like that without much detail it will look fine, i know because i did something similar to what the OP was wanting to do. if you do it with an image that had a lot of small detail then it will look odd in landscape.
What Barina said has sense, but I tried and, as David said, it still look fine.
So it works, thanks, again
You can see the results here, later I'll post a screen of landscape too

G1/MT3gThis is my first attempt at a mod/theme, so take that into consideration. It is a modded launcher for cm4.2.7, But I believe it will work on all of his- somebody needs to try it on earlier versions for me to verify.- Chris

It just looks to me like a launcher we've already seen with a grid over it. I'm glad you're learning the process but we need a little more than that please.
Eh, he's trying. That's more than I've done.
Agreed, no use in putting it down, if you want to make the case of 'we've seen that launcher tab before with a minor change' I'll point you to all the hero themes.
Thanks for sharing at least. Hope more and more people are encourage to try out theme editing.

Exactly, its better than nothing . Nice work thus far, maybe more can come out of this like grid lines IN the launcher?
how come u haven't try this first then post it up..sme ppl not going to try it if the Dev haven't done himself
I wasn't putting him down first off I was just saying its a little plain. I'm entitled to an opinion and I didn't say anything negative.
I have tried opening the original default GDE theme to give myself a basic template to work from. I edited many photos and have a theme ready to use, however I would love to change the name and information which is stored on the AndroidManifest.xml.
Last night I installed Eclipse and all android addons, however the AndroidManifest.xml in the GDE skin I've tried editing, will not open in Eclipse.
As I am new, I'm positive I'm doing something erroneous that's simple to fix or solve, but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anybody who replies.
Jon.
Nevermind!
I'm an idiot, it literally took less than an hour of reading and investigating the xda forums.
Found the APKTool to edit and change the original GDE theme.
For those of you who actually look for themes for GDE still rather than metamorph, be looking for my themes.
Jon.
sounds promising.
.. GDE has been a bit dead lately..hopefully u can revive it.
I hope. I've tried all the home replacements, and GDE is the only one I'm really interested in. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm working on multiple colors of the hero first, nearly finished with them all..
If you all know any specific theme types I should work on that would target some crowd, all suggestions are appreciated.
theres a nexus, hero, cliq, and few other device ui's that are badass which have all been created..but no one has created an Espresso one..might wanna give that one a gander.
Funny, I didn't think of trying any of those, however the only one you mentioned having not being done yet, is the one that inspired me. Haha, I have an espresso one. It was created by someone I believe from this very community.

Some many be familiar here, but last year I did all 32 NFL teams as full themes. After a while they became to hard to maintain, most were updated as far as donut, most to metamorph, but I have all the files. This is my offer if anyone wants to pick them up at all, even if just your team, let me know. Figure rather then let them go to waste.
All the colors are done, so you could even use this to help you put together other teams.
An example of some of the screens:
If you view the album, there are screens for all 32 teams, widgets, boot, and icons. the widgets and some parts I believe I still have all the .9's for also, in case you wanted to redo anything.

It seems hard to have to manage it all, so I'll just take the Bears.
I don't have the ability to do it myself but I would love to have a Texans metamorph theme.

Youll probably have to go through it and maybe rename a few icons and maybe tweak a few things.

I dont have the time nor will I which is why I am offering to post everything in its current form for someone else to update to eclair or froyo, some maybe donut.
I'll definitely do the Bears Theme for Eclair and FroYo. maybe even some Sense/Espresso? And it'd be an honor to take off from where you left it. HIT ME WIDDIT!

The Bears zip is now there, only thing I want to put up is a few of the newer psd files for when I updated the icons, seems the Bears theme never got that update.
When you are done, if you post it, drop a link here so I can see what you have for a final product. And if you look to do more, hit up my site and take a look at the theme guide.
Just an FYI, someone on the CM forums has volunteered to do the 49ers, and another for Bears, and someone is going to work on the Dolphins and Ravens on twitter. Ill try and keep track of them all so everyone can see.
I'd love to take any files you can share. I'd like to get them all updated for MM and ADW Themes for non-root users. I'd even do something for USF too!

can anyone point me in the right direction or show me where the most current development of this or similar themes is taking place?
Thanks.
I'd like to take the Chargers theme, how 'bout it?
Sorry all I've been busy, I promise I will get the link up that has all the files this week (I will try to find them all tonight). This way you all can have at it.
Wow I have a horrible memory about doing things. Everything I had I put here http://www.jbthemes.com//G1MMThemes/G1ThemeBackup/NFLTeams
The ones that were done way back are here http://www.jbthemes.com/G1MMThemes/NFL
And there is more stuff http://www.jbthemes.com/downloads/root_themes/metamorph
There is crap all over the place. I reused colors as much as possible, so if I file is missing some parts, that means its in with a team that was the same color scheme.
Sorry for the delay. But between those links, that should contain everything (minus the icons I did for the Open Home themes, if you want those PM me)
Love the themes ... Steelers for G1 / Cyanogen 5.0.8 .. or MM ???
I just wanted to say how ez it was to pose as some noob ... (samsungfan05) on IRC and get the knowledge of how to change the status bar on Generation X to the Revolution 3.6 solid black bar. All you have to do is, go into the framework.apk that is in your theme that you want to use as the base using your rar/zip program and drag n drop the images from the framework in the theme you want to take stuff out of, into res/drawable-hdpi in the base themes framework.apk ... APKs evidently open up with zip programs so i could have been doing this since i had my nexus one. hell i think i might post my dock i used and made for my iphone it was hella slicc. The whole process is really simple as hell I just wanted anyone that wondered if you can do this sort of thing (i used to decompile and customize themes like hell on iOS) in android, you can. it's not any more involved either... just drag n drop. if you can't pull that off... kill yourself.
So, no more can you port this theme threads for me, i'm just going do the **** myself... or if someone has a requests, for a generous donation, i will port it for you since I am well on the way to doing so. Peace
There is actually a lot more to it.then just editing the drawable hdpi.folder in the framework...,most of make at.minimum edits to over to.xml.files in the frameworks......and use smali/backsmali to edit the service.jars
Also why did you have to pose as someone else to get information...,everyone is more than willing to share what they know

There really is. I've been playing with it a bit in an attempt to port the NeonGT theme from the i9000 but there's more to it than swapping a few .png's and apparently I'm not totally getting it yet. A few more hours of learning and I think I'll have it down though.

I wouldn't say I like it, being truthful here. But it's a good start. Go for the top bar first, and try to match it with overall colours, it would be good then. Later you can work on the details.
