How to port a theme?

Hello everyone. I have been using a theme called enoch for cm5.0.8, white widow rom, and I love it. Its a dark theme with blue highlights. My question is there any way to port it to work with cm6? I am using kaosfroyo and would like to see if I can port some of the graphics. Any help? Thanks!

Switch file names to the one you want and resize. Thats all it takes. Ive ported from Hero/N1/DROID/G1 to our phones with just doing that and no issues when using MetaMorph.

Im not quite sure I follow you? Why would changing the name help? Also the maker of this theme only makes it flashable via recovery as of now. Is it possible to port it to metamorph?

by the way I am using your theme as of right now Kevlar. I like it alot!

Some times the file name might be different from G1 to the Eris. So then you have to rename it to the Eris file name. Easiest way to do it is to compare from an Eris ROM. Then you have to resize to our size.

Thank you. Glad you enjoy it.

I am really new to all of this. Can any theme at all be ported to our Eris? I would really like to have this one on mine running CM6.
The theme is on Droid-forums.net and is 24k Black glass by Cuttalott. I can not post links yet. Sorry. I do not believe posting that is any rules infractions, but I do not post here very often.
Being from Pittsburgh, it obviously would be right up my alley, but I don't think it is possible. He doesn't have it running yet on CM6, but his other ones are. Is this anyway possible or is it out of the capabilities of our device. Like I said, not trying to bother people here, just too new to know what can and can't be done.

Any theme can be ported. Just look into making MetaMorphs and compare file names and sizes. Its that easy. Only time consuming part is resizing.

Might wanna give this a shot hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526

There us a theme porting script over in the main theme forum,i haven't had a chance to try it yet, but definitely plan on it

Stupid question, but did you custom create the text based icons for the apps, or is there a default setting somewhere in LP for this?

Graphics Guru Request For Resizing Skins

I need some resizing done. Specifically for the BAMF roms, but they will benefit all Sense 3.0 roms.
I've attached a zip file full of all the Hub skins. I have also included a properly sized Burgundy skin apk, and a bad one.
What I need is, using the good burgundy skin image sizes as a template, resizing for all the skins in the zip. It is not every image, just some.

The images to be resized are in res/drawable-hdpi:

Im not a guru but I'll look at them, what time frame you looking at? and any skin preferred first?

Um, no particular time frame. We have burgundy and blue sky ready.
If I was to prefer an order of whats first, it would be music lover and spaceship earth.

If I knew anything about any if this I would help, brought to you by a pointless post,

adrynalyne,
I have them all finished, pm me and let me know where you want them.

Appreciated! It doesn't have to be a private job. Just drop them on multiupload and post them here
THanks!
Or if you rather not, I will PM you.

Ooohhhh I like the idea of new 3.0 skins. Hope this snowballs into porting most. Glass is my personal favorite. Has anybody got a transparent notification bar to work?

These work great. Thanks mr gadget

Yes, thank you.

Gadget,
For someone trying to learn, I started messing with this request, did you resize every file individually, or is there a way to automate something like this.

Great job man thanks, can't wait to see some custom skins

The answer to your question is...
Yes and No.
The images have to be resized individually, but if you really know Photoshop you can create actions to automate the tasks that are identical.

I'm slowly learning photoshop, so nice to know this is possible. Thank you.

Beautiful Widgets: HTC Sense UI Skin

Woah nice job! I would totally use this, although lately I've been running without the superclock, due to the fact that there's already a clock on the lock screen and the top right corner. But wow, you don't see alot of skins of this quality within the BW app! Nice!

One thing I've been looking for is a superclock skin with the same font as the D3 lock screen. My fave font! Modern and simple.

Do you know the name of the font used? or where i could look in the system dump to find it? I can make one using that font.

Not bad, are the skins hard to make? I've been thinking about making my own BW Skins and Themes. Just don't know if I have the patience to bust out Photoshop working so much.

It pretty much depends on what you are doing, this took me about 3 hours because of the level of detail involved, I took the system dump, extracted the apk files until i found the .9.png that was used for the widget backgrounds, and i copied every single line and gradient down the pixel, so that takes a while. But many of my others where fairly simple. It also depends on your level of skill with Photoshop and you knowledge of the tools, I've been using Photoshop for many years, so I'm very familiar with it.
Plus loading it on the phone every time you make a small change can be a little annoying at times...

I'll give it a try eventually, lol.. I've got 6 years experience as a freelance designer and developer. I've just gotten to the point where if it isn't making me money I don't like to open up the programs.

This is now available to download from the application! I have also created a gingerblur toggle skin to match, which is also available! Enjoy!

Thank you so much for the skin. It looks great!
1 question though. My weather skin is still in stock and doesn't look like the one you are posting.
Would you mind posting your weather skin as well?
Thanks!
