Themes modify the system files, they aren't independent.
If you get a theme for a rom, it will modify things all around the rom.
If you get a theme for a program (adw) it will modify things inside the program only.

for example, I'm interested in using the ZEN theme or the minimalist theme. Can I use my LauncherPro after I flash the theme?

Cyan Theme Template

may somebody make a theme template of cyans latest 4.2.11.1 for me cant seem to find it on his post nor website since he doesnt make them anymore :/
greatly aprreciated thanks
just download any theme that is for CM-4.2.11.1 and start replacing the images with the ones you want for your theme. I dont really know if Cyan is still putting out theme templates, i havent seen one in a while.
-BMFC
yeah i just did that...now to take out the google apps from the htc rom :/
making a little Gnome-ish theme
Make sure to post it up id like to see it =)
I have a default cm theme template I do for each rom updates. Mostly for my own themes use and to get back to stock when things break by flashing themes. It only has like open source apps though, so it doesn't come with stuff like gmail and market and youtube and such. You can always add the apk you theme of it inside the /app folder and sign it again if you want to do that.
I could upload it and post it if anyone wants.

it would un-theme every .apk that is in that .zip. I think there is a stock metamorph somewhere, you could take every image out of the folders except for the app icon image and do it that way.
oh ok...thanks man

It'll only get you back to default cyan rom if the sirmez theme didn't touch any of the google apps. Otherwise you'll see most things back to default and things like gmail/youtube/market may stay themed.

[Q] AOSP icons?

I absolutely hate the Galaxy S Icons. is there ANY way to get the icons?
I'm using Perception Build 7.
EDIT: I should add, I know I can use ADW Launcher but I hate the update, and I hate what the creator of the AOSP theme did to the theme.. I just want the icons so I can use Launcher pro. I prefer the 3D app drawer.
Find a stock Nexus One ROM (like FRG83), pull the AOSP icons out of the system apks. Unzip the ROM package you're using and drop the AOSP icons in the system apks. Overwrite the system apks on your phone with the updated ones. Don't think there's really a quick way to do it.

yeah that sounds like a long process. But I'M WILLING TO DO IT, IF IT GETS RID OF THE GALAXY S ICONS!
My ROM has them out of the box if you're unwilling to change them all manually.

where does one find the AOSP icons in the system apks?
It's usually in drawable-hdpi.
What I done was downloaded the Morph- "Nero Blue AOSP" or "Vanilla Android" from the Vibrant themes/apps section... just use it for replacing app icons only, apply each one seperate, don't run it as a batch or it will install the included framework-res which will probley screw up some stuff..it worked great for me, replaced all icons to AOSP icons..

[Request] CM 7 Theme Chooser "MattedBlues"

Hi,
can someone port over the theme MattedBlues for the CM 7 Theme chooser ?

I love this theme and wish this for my Desire
+1 on that one!
+1 I would love this as well I used to use it but ever since CM7 came out with the theme chooser I dont really flash anymore.
But we need to make sure the Dev is okay with it.
Hey everyone,
As one of the devs for MattedBlues I can tell you I'm working on it but I'm not very happy that the Theme Chooser can't theme everything a flashable zip can. What's probably going to end up happening is one of two things:
1: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and is missing some things
or
2: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and a MetaMorph will be supplied to theme what the Theme Chooser can't theme.
Until then, stay tuned.

Nice, can't wait!
Also, if you guys want to you can fairly easily port the theme to your phones. Basically you just merge the files in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with the files from the original CM7 ROM and you are golden!
I don't know if you are allowed to do that, but I can't seem to figure out why you wouldn't be. As long as you don't redistribute it.

Thanks for the tip! What exactly do you mean by merge? Do I just delete the to apk's from the theme zip and replace them with the ones from the CM7 zip? Or do I need some program to actually merge them?
Can't wait for this theme!!!
I would love this theme on my Nexus One!
+1... Theme is amazing!

You open the .apk from the theme (using something like WinRAR) and then you open the .apk from the ROM and simply drag the files from the themed .apk over to the ROM's .apk. Then you put the ROM's .apk (the one that you now have merged with the themed .apk) where the themed .apk was. Then simply flash the .zip.
Hope you understand, got kind of messy. If you do not, I can make it for you!

it's possible... i use winrar to open up apk's.... open up Nova via winrar and check the drawable-hdpi folder... you will need hdpi size pngs and replace them with the one's in the folder thats how you will change the UI look of it
