Hello ev1,
Since I was not satisfied with any existing VGA themes (most of which were upscaled from QVGA) I decided to do my own Diamond theme.
I tried to be pretty accurate while doing this theme, all icons, backgrounds etc. were prepared from the scratch by me, basing on numerous screenshots from Diamond TF3D.
I tested it over a week before releasing it to the public now. However, since I'm pretty busy with my day-to-day life, I don't plan to make any major changes to this theme, unless you discover some bugs.
Over 5000 downloads later, finally long awaited update! Comments for 1.0.2 version begin here.
Changelog:
v1.0.2 (February, 2nd 2009):
- additional (optional) layout configuration:
Layout C1 (based on Greatball's Diamond 1.2 layout C) - one contact page (for three contact pages use Layout C3)
- additional Porgrams buttons - GAMES and ACTIVE TASKS (necessery reg files included, all layouts are updated for this feature)
v1.0.1 (July, 31st 2008):
- additional (optional) layout configuration:
Layout B (based on Greatball's Diamond 1.2 layout B) - includes: Most Recent Used (MRU) tab - gesture switchable with Programmes tab; 3 contact pages;
Layout C3 (based on Greatball's Diamond 1.2 layout C3 Contact Pages) - similar to above but has no MRU page.
v1.0.0 (July, 28th 2008):
- full portrait and landscape support,
- every graphic (except for big weather icons) prepared from scratch for native VGA resolution.
Additional credits:
- layout based on Greatball's Diamond 1.2 Layout B and C3 (3 contacts pages) theme,
- QVGA to VGA theme conversion method by Mtkates,
- big weather icons were fractally upscaled from Greatball's new weather icon set used in 1.1 version of his theme,
- HTC for creating TF3D GUI.
Installation notes:
- backup your device/SPB MS dir,
- select desired layout,
- replace all files in your SPB MS dir with the files from my theme archive,
- if you wish to have GAMES and ACTIVE TASKS buttons in Programs tab, edit, according to the included instructions, and import necessery reg files on your mobile device (reg files are included in the package),
- restart your device,
- enjoy the theme.
Additional notes:
- the "Bigger photos in contact page by markfdr" mod will probably not work with C1 layout, as I used my original files,
- please note, that I have not tested the theme with latest SPB MS 2.1.4 build, so it may not work 100% correctly with it,
- I have noticed one or two people in some other boards crediting them selves for my theme... I MEAN COME ON, YOU DON'T NEED TO PAY A FRACKING CENT FOR IT AND YET YOU CLAIM IT'S YOURS!?
- If anyone wants to post it somewhere else, please include original link to this post, the same goes for other elements from this theme,
- as soon as clean my source .PSD files, I will release a pack of those, for people who would like to use the elements for other themes.
Todo:
- different background alternatives,
- weather icons prepared from original diamond weather graphic elements (VGA)
If someone can help me with the two above, it would be nice

KALI2000, you would need to edit your weather.xml file in order to center the big weather image, as you see currently it's more to the right, since my layout file is suited for the images 300px wide. I will find the exact place and will let you know where to edit.
EDIT:
Check the qa_layouts.dat file for MainWeather.xml, you need to find and edit two lines 115 and 172 (portrait mode / horizontal mode):
<LeftTop X="45" Y="80"/>
X marks the spot ;} err I mean is the space ammount in pixels measured from left margin
OK, short explanation where does the 45 come from.
My weather picture is 300px wide. Screen is 480px wide.
480px - 300px = 180px
180 / 2 (left and right margin) = 90px
However since this is a QVGA conversion of a theme, SPB doubles all the dimensions automatically, hence in order to achieve 90px margin in VGA you need to put half of the value - in my case 45px. Hope it's clear
At one moment I tried to convert BeyondInvisible's Diamond Enchanced icon set.
The icons are 240px wide (full screen), I have resized it to 480px, packed it in the theme, however, the bitmap was huuuge (if I remember correctly about 8MB), unfortunaltey SBP MS crashed when I tried to display weather page. So be careful guys while trying to convert other weather icon sets. Beside that, the memory consumtion grows rapidly if the images are large.
I checked yesterday, SPB MS uses ca. 11-12MB RAM with my theme - which already may be too much for some older VGA devices... But that's the price one has to pay for a good looking theme

Let's hope more layout will follow later.

Head to post 3 for GTX Flavours
A New sense project i MIGHT be working on Here! Would love some feedback and suggestions.
Metro (WP7) Sense Theme Cancelled, More info Here
Manila 2016 Core Fixes can be found Here (WIlliam archbell Text, Empty Mail tab, Empty Calendar)
As you all may know already, after the awsome work ElCondor and Kamill put to the theme further development was cancelled. Therefore i'm starting this new thread which will carry on development of GTX and help maintain the theme.
WARNING: Please Backup your device before installing. Also before uninstalling remove all quicklinks etc, these seem to conflict with uninstallation. We will not be responsible for any problems you may have with this theme, but were always there to help.
Just wanna add that please use the search function as most of the issues you face may have already been asked before and may be solved. Also if you wish to look through the attachments of this thread, go to the WM themes section and click the paperclip next to this threads name.
Also, just wanna give out this warning, if you install ANY MOD's which are in form of a cab, it will make GTX uninstallable. So any of you who are having problems uninstalling, reinstall the theme then uninstall.
Remember, Stock Rom = Uncompressed
The GTX theme is originally made by ElCondor & Kamill.. Thanks for all their work they originally put in..
To continue to downloads Look at Post 2
All Addons & Fixes will be placed in Post 3, Check them out! Thanks to dandnj71 for keeping it up. (these will still work, although they may be outdated)
Head to Post 4 for ElCondor's references and help on keeping the theme running. (PSD's, Fonts etc.)
There is obviously a lot of work needed and i dont think anyone would be able to handle it on their own. Therefore we have put together a team for the later releases of the GTX theme.

I'd like to thank everyone here who supported us, especially the guys that have now taken over the project.
It was a great project to work on, it was nice to learn more and more, and working with Kamill was a real pleasure.
I'm glad that there's such an interest in our very first Sense theme, I've never made another Sense theme before this one.
Remember that this is but the beginning of new themes to come. I'm looking forward to skin future interfaces from HTC or from other manufacturers.
Thanks for all your help guys, the pressure was tough, but I'm glad we made the decision to give this project to someone else.
Regards,
EC
Guide for Creating GTX Styled Skins
Here's a little guide for creating GTX skins. Sometimes I see that the GTX style is being modified to fit one's own need, but I think this standard is a must to create the original look.
Let me draw some guidlines:
There are 2 main colors: Dark grey and a gradient from white (up) to light-grey (down).
Download the PSD attachment package which includes some high res buttons, arrows, checkers, etc.
Make sure that there are no sharp edges, everything needs to be rounded, but not too much.
Boxes, so selector grapics and more, that are white-grey, need to have a 1px stroke which you can see clearly in my graphics in the thread, and an outer glow, which is dark grey.
Again, you can find the PSD in the attached Zip, from that PSD you can copy the layer style.
Apart from the outer glow mentioned in #3, shadows should be removed from the design.
Absolutely no glow/reflection. I know that it's inviting to do it, because many people think that it looks good, but it will break the design.
There should be more white than grey.
For arrows, use the dotted arrows found in the original design. These arrows can also be found in the PSD attachment.
Use the "Helvetica Neue LT" font for optimal look. It's included in the attachment.
Finally, I would like to ask you this:
----------Search before posting!-----------
Glad to see the work put into this won't be wasted. Keep it up ElCondor, Kamill and Dark Ninja !
EDIT: Here is a small possible improvement, with a preview and the PSD. For details see this post.
thx to you
i'm happy to see someone continus this very nice project.
Thank you DN!!
right on!!! Can't wait to see where else this theme can go. Kamil and ElCondor came up with a beautiful concept and starting point. Love the "clean" and "pure" white look.
Great! I'm happy that there's a team in place to continue this great work.
Let me know if you need some help with images. Also, I was wondering if this theme can be converted for a QVGA phone for manila 2.0.
Do you need a beta tester?
Awesome. Hopefully NRG will have an updated ROM with this as soon as its available. Thanks for keeping it going. Also thanks to the original developers for being willing to let it keep going.
glad to see this continued
i'm curious
yay =D
Woop woop!
Not GTXed yet, but plan on trying out the old version, and then keeping an eye on this baby!
great work guys!!! best theme ever seen...but what about manila 2013 ? ..found nothin about it

Lol, the thread was created earlier today silly.
Good stuff, glad to see this going somewhere. Good luck!
If some hosting space/bandwidth is required for more reliable file hosting/updating. for this project I have a idle personal server not doing much at a datacenter.
I've been working on layout for a wiki/blog/cms for my touch pro 2 and tweaks and android development.
always thought that some kind of CMS for rom/theme/UI development would be more effective than something that would be more conducive than having to search through some long threads of the same questions over and over for tweaks and such.
Look at the number of threads) 666636

Kite UI Project (Theme elements for Android devices)
*Update on receiving a full version will be posted soon*
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=russian
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=russian
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=russian
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=russian
In front of you is reincarnation of popular user interface Kite UI.
Instruction on complete applying of elements:
1. You need launcher which replacement of standard icons is possible in. The theme was tested on Lightning Launcher,
which has necessary features: 1) possessing a large quantity of settings, it remains to be the fastest of offered on the Market. 2) Movement on the screen
can be carried out to the left, to the right, down, up and on a diagonal, in difference from other launchers, who offer transition between home
screens only by moving to the left and right.
After all that there is a question, what is Kite UI? How the movement on the screen should be carried out? If you saw a topic on xda-developers, you already
are familiar with structure. If not, I will tell you, it should be carried out comprehensively. Probably, with a little differences, than
in Lightning Launcher, but nevertheless, very approximately. Still App Drawer is built standardly in it.
Certainly, to achieve the necessary result in settings, you should spend a little time in settings of a launcher. From the most important points of
settings, I will note, in the line :Number of columns" it is necessary to put value 3, and in "Line height" - 75, if your screen has not got more or less than 3.5 inches.
Otherwise you should experiment with settings.
!!!. You can use any launcher for a theme, I only give advice. If you're not familiar with any of the launchers you can
just install a BetterCut app from the market.
2. You need to download the UltimateCustomClockWidget (UCCW) app to apply and issue the clock widget on the main homescreen.
3. Super Status Bar. Even with the trial version of this program, you will approach status bar of the phone to the status of a Kite bar as much as possible.
And everything is at a minimum of spent time. You don't need additional application of themes, which will be unlocked in the paid version. Standard design
is already approached. !!!. Similar programs, such as, for example, Status Bar +-Custom Status Bar are possible. But design of an appropriate look
I can not guarantee.
4. Music player. Not compulsory procedure. I looked long for it. I use TTPod with an orange standard skin, thanks to its fast speed of the circulation, the built-in 12-band equalizer, strengthening of basses, shake function imitation, and madly beautiful design.
5. Widget Locker. I included the backup settings of the application. Well, and Kite Locker certainly. So, I think it would not be a hard work to adjust it for long since everything here is provided by me.
It is necessary only to put icons and widgets there. As a clock for lockscreen for example I use UCCW too.
THE PAID ARCHIVE CONSISTS OF:
1. 40 Kite UI style homescreen and 49 app menu icons.
2. A Kite UI clock widget, with author's backup settings along with 50 day and 49 night weather skins.
3. Nearly 80 HD, FHD and UHD landscape and 16 abstraction wallpapers. The Kite design looks perfect with every of it.
4. Exclusive fonts to set up date, etc... including original Kite UI font ("kite" folder).
5. The well-known Kite UI LockScreen on the basis of Widget Locker. Simplicity and grace.
6. The well-known Kite UI wallpaper with the clouds, recreated most approximately to the original taking into account more than 80 layers of a photoshop. The original eclusive KITE UI wallpaper is also included.
7. Many variants of demo icons and weather skins, so you could see all the progress been maken.
The FREE v.0.7 of the theme consists of:
1. 10 Kite UI style homescreen and 50 app. menu icons.
2. A Kite UI clock widget, with author's backup settings along with 6 main day and 6 main night weather skins.
3. 33 HD landscape wallpapers. The Kite design looks perfect with every of it.
4. Original Kite UI font ("kite" folder).
5. The well-known Kite UI LockScreen on the basis of Widget Locker. Simplicity and grace.
6. The well-known Kite UI wallpaper with the clouds, recreated most approximately to the original taking into account more than 80 layers of a photoshop. The original eclusive KITE UI wallpaper is also included.

I need some action in the topic, so I pay your attention on a contest. First 10 people who post messages in this topic will get this theme for just a 1$. Contest ends on 15th of June.
As good as this looks, I think you should have a look at the rules on xda regarding paid apps. It's one thing to have a donation button, quite another to try and sell your theme here.
+1 on the previous post. Great idea but, in my opinion, its bad way to advertise the theme. Good luck though. I'd love to see the free version as per XDA rules.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Ok. I really appreciate some activity in the topic, as long as it good review or a critics.
1. As for XDA rules, I've read it. I didn't lie to anybody, so you get a full alpha of this work, which is not restricted by time limits or smth. to review it and make a choice of appreciate or not appreciate an author's work. Instead of donate version I just made a note of transfering a payment. I've done the analog of XDA conditions, not crossing it.
2. I started this work in early 2010. Since then there were a lot of re-doings and some new things, as programms needed for this are also newer now, so there was a huge progress to see, what you see now.
3. All the updates of work will be released free in this topic, so you support a lot of spent time. I tried not to make a monopoly of this work, so there is a free link also.
As the contest goes on, you can receive the full version for transferring a $1. Posted to cornelha, ncdub

I'm giving it a shot.
Initial feedback not even installing yet.....
1. I have to figure out how to install. I'm a relatively smart fellow, but I'm having to read the install instructions more than once to figure out what to do. From my experience most people don't spend a lot of time working to get a theme installing. Using themechooser or something similar and picking a theme that has been installed by an apk is the preferred method
I have purchased the full UCCW and have messed with my own designs so I'm not expecting any issues.
2. Download locations are the easiest or user friendly. It was easy for me, I have a multi-host download program I pay for and I use Internet Download Manger so it's a two click deal for me.
3. Good deal adding install instructions in rar file. That helps.
I've got it downloaded. I'm going to play with it on my stockish 4.3 ROM on my ATT Note 2

dicksteele, yeah, the main problem of the work that it is not in one easy apk.
Though I am not smart in coding, so everything is just a designer's work. I just was so excited by Kite interface, and dissappointed it wasn't released to a public, so I wanted to anyhow recreate it. How I could.
WORK If you could do some help with coding this thing, you can P.M. me to my e-mail address (entered higher) or to my XDA profile. That help would be appreciated.
Also, you can have the full theme according to contest rules.
Waiting for other posts...
feel free to P.M. an author.
I'm closing this thread since it doesn't follow the paid themes guidelines, and is using pay-per-click links.
To summarize:
You can advertise your paid themes if and only if the free version is equivalent to it.
Download links must not be a mean for you to get money.
For more details, refer to the paid themes policy and the forum rules (especially rule #13).
