No, I don't mean the app specific themes, I mean deeper than that.
Essentially I have a theme which I used entirely (up until I reflashed MCR and realised I love default Sense style ) but now I want only to apply the lockscreen and the notifications blind.. How would I go about doing this?
Also, what images make up the dock of Sense? Just incase I decided to mess with colours (folders on the phone and name please).
Thanks.
The dock of sense is in the folder res/drawable-port in Rosie.apk

Those are the default Home, not Sense..
EDIT: they were in drawable-port-480x320
If I want to apply them with Metamorph do I need to include every image in the drawable-port-480x320 folder or just the edited ones?
Also, anyone able to answer my other Q's?
Just the edited ones.
Anyone able to drop the names of the Lockscreen pull bar and the Notifications blind images?

I have a tranperent image which I would like to keep as my background for my lockscreen. By default colour of the lockscreen is black. Is there a way to make it transperent or at least change the background colour of the lockscreen?
Ask in the correct section! We have a Topaz Q&A Forum for a reason!

It depends on what ROM you're on. Newer ROMs have Lockscreen Wallpaper selection under Settings Tab\Personalize.

I do have that option but it only allow's me to set the image as a wallpaper. But the image that i have is transperent and if i set this image as my wallpaper in the lockscreen, it takes the background colour of the lockscreen which is black. I want to change this colour or rather make it transperent so that my background becomes my today screen.
Anybody with a solution?
I think you would have to develop your own lockscreen.
You could take an existing one and decompile it and see if you can tweak the files.

Basically, you take a lockscreen cab file (search for "Dusk" or "Hashuan" Lockscreen or just lockscreen for your WM version), open the cab using cab programs such as WinCE Cab manager and extract the files. Once you have extracted the files you can browse for the png, bmp or jpgs that tweak them to whatever you want. One issue you may find is that (AFAIK) only jpgs will support transparency so if you find that the background image is in another format, it won't work.
Its a good idea to install the lockscreen first so you know what's what in the image files and also retain the original file names and structure to ensure continuity.
....or, you can just ask a developer (prob w/ a small donation) to make one for you if it's even possible...
I've seen several of you asking for it, so I figured i'd let you all know what the holdup is. I'm working on creating an AOSP lockscreen for DL30 that will make future theming much easier. If I can get it working like I want here is what it will do.
currently if you download a theme with an aosp lockscreen you need to get an android.policy.jar file from that themer to change to puzzle lock so that it doesn't break any theme elements when you flash it. Same with if you want an aosp lockscreen that will or won't unlock with the menu key.
What i'm trying to do is create one android.policy.jar file that uses the AOSP lockscreen with no menu unlock by default. you will be able to change these features by creating files in the /data/local folder called "enable_glasslock" to enable the puzzle or glass lock and disable aosp, or one called "enable_menukey" to enable the menu button to unlock the screen. all without flashing a new android.policy.jar. If I'm able to create this, and it becomes the standard for custom themes, then there will be no more having to download multiple themes to choose which lockscreen you want. If i'm missing something and this has already been done, please let me know and point me in the right direction...
Once this is done i'll be able to easily make the Blackmod Enhanced theme for DL30, and you'll be able to easily switch between lockscreens without having 4 downloads to choose from.
Thanks for the good word. Looking forward to it.

Thank You
Yes me to, I am really looking forward to it. I like the "smaller AOSP lock screen, one theme I had it was huge, the one I am on now is smaller and I like it. I wish I could do all this from scratch. I want dark keypad, little blue refresher icon, love the colorful sd card when it reads, the circle with percent battery, although the gauge was cool too, and when I hook the usb to pc instead of the sound it has now I would add the Star Trek sound when it says connected.
One thing cool I noticed this time I am able to change the phone, browser, and drawer icons! I did not notice that on any other version, that is awesome. Green Lanter for browser.
Dude you rock, thanks again!!!
The rom will be continued by lo2ay in this thread:

BUGS:
-The online theme tab force closes when wifi/data is turned on
-Some lockscreens needs resizing, to change it go to Settings>Personal>LockScreen>Style option>Lockscreeen style
-in v5 at first boot after a clean install my phone asked me various times to insert the pin code and during setup wizard some apps were force closing. Don't worry! it's only first boot! If phone continues to ask the pin code just go to settings>mobile network and try disabling data or changing network mode, after some times it will stop requesting pin code.
-in dialer you can't add # after a number
-you tell me...
SCREENSHOTS:

Update1:It's booting.
Update2: Booted, getting screenshots will make another post about the features and proposed changes and screenshots as well
Awesome. I'll try this out in a bit!
Okay, here we go
When the phone boots for the first time this is what you will see
Pretty nice, except for the icons, which you can't change! (more on this later)
As the OP said, the appdrawer labels are cut-off a bit
A fix might be gotten if you make the icons a bit smaller or make the grid smaller.
Also as the OP said the default lockscreen is pretty cut-off, to unlock it swipe up on either the yellow bird (dialer) or red bird (messaging) then go to Settings->Personal->Lockscreen->Style options->Lockscreen style and change it to anything else.
The settings are very nice! They're grouped by function and you switch between the groups by swiping left or right
Takes some time to get used to, but I like it a lot.
The notification pane works, but the power toggles are way to big. (FIXED IN v2!)
The top shows you your data usage and by tapping the orb in the top right you kill background tasks.
By tapping the data usage in the notifications you get to the data usage usage graph and by swiping right you get the app firewall, and by swiping left you get to the data monitor settings.
And here we come to the theme part, by default it only ships with one theme (angry birds)
There is an online tab, but that one force closes when it loads (!), which means you can change the theme to anything else (unless it gets fixed or if the ROM ships with another theme)
The dialer is really nice, it does have T9 dialing, but it has this odd blue line going down the center of it.
The contacts are also very nice, adopting the same ICS like left and right swiping to swipe between the contacts, favorites, call log and messaging
Pressing the chinese letter at the bottom will bring up initial letters which can be quickly used to get to Z for example.
It ships with two file managers IO File Manager (CM7 default) and it's own one.
In default view it shows you how many music files, pictures, videos, documents and .apk files you have and allows you to show them. It also shows you how full your SD card is.
By swiping left you get to a standard file manager, which allows you to browse your SD card (no internal phone memory though).
If you happen to dislike the stock launcher it does ship with ADW as well.
It comes with inbuilt SMS and call blocking.
Now for some stuff that I dislike.
No CM7 settings. If we had that, disabling the power widget would be easy and it would be a good temporary solution. It does integrate SOME parts of CM7 settings, like the lockscreen settings and performace settings among others, but just not enough.

Makes the default launcher a lot more tolerable
Accidental double post.
(But I'll just keep the screenshot here )
Might as well use this post to say that I'm not able to set my time, timezone and date, because clicking on those options in the settings doesn't do anything!
looking good!
i shall try
downloading....
A new thing to try ....eagerly going to download and flash. Thnx nejc for your review ...

Okay, I'm trying to do some notification pane fixing, but I can't compile my modified SystemUI.apk with apktool(apkmultitool).
I attached a screenshot of the log.
Something I'm would try if it worked.
Under status_bar_tracking.xml in /res/layout there is a part that has the power widget, I'm thinking of we remove that it might serve as a temporary fix.
Another MIUI like rom. Will give it a try. I can volunteer to fix make it better if you like Thanks!
One thing I think that will help with the appdrawer.
in /res/values/integers.xml modify config_drawerRowsPortrait to 2, so that it has less app drawers rows. (That should work, can't test since I can't get apktool to compile)
Also (Again, not sure) to remove the buttons that pop up when you tap the status bar go to /systemui/res/values/bools.xml and change config_statusbar_buttons to false
It is great to see a new rom for once, hope this will get developed further.
I´m considering to make this my daily rom, once there comes other languages, like (My langauge) Danish
Just flashed it and loving it. Really smooth and fast. But as every rom it has some bugs in the settings when you click power save.
I have found a posible fix for the notification power widget.
It is a modified SystemUI.apk posted by parudthz in the Galaxy Mini forum (Same resolution)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23458805&postcount=37
I have tried pushing that one and I ended up without a status bar, did some copy pasting in the status_bar_tracking.xml which has the notification power widget and again ended up with no status bar.

Put it into the zip for our phone, sign it and reflash it. Might work. Did you reboot after pushing it to your phone?

I did reboot when pushing
Just tried adding it to /system/app in the ROM .zip file and it just bootloops.
Trying again with a full wipe.
Nope, still no status bar...
When I've been testing the statusbar tweaks I made I found I had all these problems pushing with adb etc...
The best way I found was to drop it in a zip and flash it, if the systemui isn't actually broken because of the changes you made it works everytime.

Try making an undo zip (I.e original systemui) it might need the same method as when flashing statusbar mods!!
1.Flash zip you modded (no status bar) boot up to test....if no statusbar.....
2.recovery flash undo zip,reboot to test..... all ok again.
3.recovery,re flash modded zip and see if it works this time.
Scratch knows more about this. Just an idea.

Hi All, I was asked to share/update my 8 bit sound pack with you all. I have been making and tweaking this same mod since IceCream Sandwich. I always enjoyed the simplistic 5 channel sounds of the Nintendo Entertainment System(NES) (80's Baby) and since I have 8bit icons, wallpaper, etc I wanted matching sounds. Any comments are welcome. If you have an idea for a better sound for a specific action or other ringtones or notifications, I am all ears.
Included in this .zip are all ui sounds, ringtones, notifications, and alarms.
Warning this .zip DOES replace your ui sounds, but DOES NOT erase your notification or ringtones simply adds some 8bit ones.
I used this mod with my OPO and been using it forever with stock rom oxygenOS deBloated .
I am posting now because I was tired of sharing links with people.
If anyone would like to take my little mod and use it in their work just give credit where credit is do..
Some of What is Included
PLEASE READ.....
THIS IS THE FULL SOUNDPACK IT WILL REPLACE YOUR UI SOUNDS WITH 8-Bit ONES, IF YOU WANT YOUR STOCK SOUNDS BACK YOU NEED TO REFLASH YOUR ROM(dirty flash is perfectly fine)
8-Bit soundPack with replacement UI
THIS ZIP IS JUST THE ADDITION OF RINGTONES < NOTIFICATION SOUNDS < AND ALARMS THIS ZIP DOES NOT REPLACE YOUR UI SOUNDS
8-BIT soundPack Notifications only
Thank you so much for this
excellent if there any 8pit custome thread upload.
