Is there a way to theme the settings menu? - Captivate Themes and Apps

I have seen a few different ROM's with colored Icons in the setting menu and I have searched this thread and I haven't found any MOD's out there to do it. What am I missing?

Use Metamorph. It will do what you're looking for. Most of the morphs are in the Nexus One forum but I've used them without issue. The worst that can happen is they don't apply but they won't break your phone so just try them out.

Themes and morps?

How do you install themes on to the phone? Also i have seen their are certain widgets that required you to morps, what are they and how do you install them? Do you have to unlock the phone?
perhaps you should go look over in the themes and morphs section? actually i think its called themes and apps, but that is where all the morphs are.
Yeah i know, but im asking how do you install them, and what are morphs. If you can answer the question then you have no reason to be in this thread.
yeah morphs change things like the status bar color, widget transparency, any type of visual changes to the OS. you use an app called metamorph in the market. and you have to be rooted.
now in the themes and morphs section, this info is in the first threads sticky at the top.

Theming issue (Metamorph and Ninjamorph)

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
I can't seem to apply any themes at al to my N1. I'm currently running Enoms 2.12.2. Using metamorph it occasionally thinks the theme has been applied, but once rebooted the best I get is a wallpaper change back to stock (not a black or glass status bar). I have tried using ninjamorph to change one icon, and this simply causes a bootloop once applied.
Any ideas?
Since it might help some people in the future in case they encounter the same behavior and come here looking for answer, I'll post the answer from another thread:
The OP checked his settings and found that oveclocking was the cause of the theme not being applied. He dropped the clock speeds and a simple theme worked.
A couple of more complicated themes failed, though - so the question is still relevant.

Themed Cyanogen 6.1.1 ROM - Dark/Black

I have themed my MT3GS with what I think is an awesome looking theme. The problem is I did not do any of the images myself, I picked, poked, prodded and pulled various images from some very great themed ROMs such as RemixedDarkBlue, ProdigalSunColorblind version, GTXSlide1.1, CR_mod1.35_OTA, BlackSlide1.3, and a few other various finds from different areas here on XDA. All different devs and versions and I can't really recall exactly what from where I pulled things from.
I did start off with doing a basic port of the BlackSlide1.3 into CM6.1.1 for the black keyboard and base of the theme, from there I opened up the .zip file and manually extracted and placed misc. images from the various ROMs I mentioned before and themed the icons, status bar, and color scheme of the overall ROM. I put the Fonts from the GTXslide in here as I like a little style. Hope you guys enjoy it.
This is the stable release of Cyanogen 6.1.1 base with a few of the apps removed, if you are already using that release just flash this over it to theme your rom. I did use the ADW App from RemixedDarkBlue as I like the trash on the bottom of the screen, and I like the icon in it as well. I placed that trash icon into the 3D Gallery to conform the rom slightly more ;-).

The question I have is how would I go about uploading this and offering this to the community while giving props to everyone I pulled images from? As I love how my phone looks and thinks others may as well.
P.S. I'll post Screenshots soon as I find a screenshot app if you guys would like a preview of how it looks. It's a Dark/Black theme.

Great attitude my friend, and to solve your dilemma you dont need to say the exact names of the authors, just point out the name of the themes and that the icons and stuff are not yours.... thats it, this is sharing comunnity so i dont think anyone would come and say "hey thats my icon" lol dont worry about it
Im glad we have some more people trying to contribute
Sounds awesome so far! I hope you find a way to package it all up.
As far as screenshots, I use "ShootMe", myself. Not sure what else is out there, but that one works well enough for me

Thanks, my kid and I had a blast taking screenshots with that app using the 'shout' option!!
Can you also possibly make this a metamorph theme file too? That would save me a lot of time

I didn't use metamorph to theme the ROM, I used something called Theme-Porter_beta_3 by Daneshm90 here in XDA. I can supply the files I got from the theme porter (aprox. 30 meg .zip file) for you to push into a CM6.1.1 ROM. In that zip I supplied the themed ADW from RemixedDarkBlue and the ADW that comes with the CM6.1.1. I Honestly just pasted those app and framework files into my CM6.1.1. (***NOTE=the ADWlauncher inside the app folder is the one that comes with the CM6.1.1, the standalone ADWlauncher is from RemixedDarkBlue***)
If you could point me in the direction of what metamorph program you use, maybe I can be of more assistance. I'd love to be able to package this in an easy to distribute kind of way if possible ;-).

Awesome! Haha, yeah I actually had that for a while before I found out you could change the way it takes a pic. :x Glad to hear you guys had fun though
As for the theme, I really like that unlock screen. Very slick!
Thanks, got the lockscreen slides from alt+dark posted in the dark hero theme from somewhere. **Reminder** none of themes images are mine, I simply found and compiled them all to make a singular theme

Is there any way I can change ONLY the settings Menu?
Im reeeeeallllyyy liking it
What do you mean 'only' the settings menu? You want a different menu theme or something?

I like how my phone looks right now. I would only like to add this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=485783&d=1294675798
I see, can push the settings and settings provider apks from the .zip into your ROM via adb. if you like the font style, push /system/fonts. Hope that helps.
I realized after flashing this over CM6.1, the Menu button unlocks the phone ignoring what's checked/unchecked in Cyanogen Settings. Flashed Cyanoginger over this and it's back to normal. Could it be this theme or something else?
The menu button unlock deals with the 6.1.1 update, Cyanoginger is 6.1. All I've done was import image files. I didn't touch any of the .xml or any other base framework file. If you like 6.1, here is a link to 6.1.0. Hope that helps ;-)
Little spoiler though, I am working on a from scratch theme that will be dark in nature still, but will look kind of like brushed metal instead of shiny. I will be posting screenshots once I get all these keyboard/button transparencies and colors situated. This new theme will take a few weeks or so to complete because I will be doing everything from scratch. The Keyboard, selection buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, status bar and icons, and possibly the icons within the apps will be completely redone. I tried to learn the meta morph technique but find the Theme Porter that @migueltherocker turned me onto much better since it is very simple and works flawlessly. Feel free to post things you guys would like to see and I might try and implement those ideas into this next theme .
Snap.
I.
Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work!
Are you sure Cyanoginger is 6.1, though? The thread says 6.1.1.
Oh, my mistake. I know that the 6.1.1 has a known issue with the menu key unlock. Last I checked Cyanoginger was 6.1 and I believe the menu issue was not introduced until 6.1.1. I've only fooled with the image files and left everything else intact. Maybe the latest nightly removes the menu key issue? I'm simply running the latest stable 6.1.1 available on the CyanogenMod site. It never bothered me as the phone never leaves my side and I am attatched to it at the waist pretty much.
Alright, Just letting you guys know I am dropping making a new theme for CM.6.1.1 due to the CM.7 Nightly release. If anyone wants me to further work on 6.1.1 I will do so after I finish my first custom theme for CM.7. Otherwise I'll be dropping this project.

Overscroll bounce on gingerbread roms?

The overscroll glowing makes my phone feel stiff like a stock android phone, I love the touchwiz bouncy menus, it was the one thing I really missed when I switched from iPhone. Everyone seems to be going crazy about the overscroll glow, and I think its a neat idea and I love that we have the option but I want my bouncy menus back Any way to flash it myself? I don't mind mucking around in the frameworks and I can make my own update.zip but I don't know where to look.
the thing you should try is going around and testing different roms. many of those have options under display in settings that allow you to change between overscroll and glow. there is also an app dont know whether it is sgs tools or spare parts but im pretty sure one of those has an option to change scroll effects
Haven't found an option in either of those yet but it might not be where I'm looking there's a lot there. I found a thread for a jvb theme where someone asked the same question, see this post if interested. I'm on continuum 5 which is jvh based but might hop on something jvb to try this

Remove TouchWiz page_indicators help

this is a question, so mods can move to Q&A if necessary. though it had more of a chance of being answered here.
Anyone know how to remove the home screen page indicators?
I have TouchWiz 4.5 I believe on Honeycomb 3.2 (Gtab 7.0+ -- P6200)
I have dug through every .xml in Launcher2.apk, there where a few page_indicator lines in like dimens.xml, which I edited to 0.0dip. Ive dug for hours. Also had a peek in twframework-res.apk. Ive seen a few people do this on froyo, as well as move them to the bottom. Ive managed to remove the tabs in the app drawer by changing page indicator value in .xml to 0.0dip
Any hints would be helpful, such as is it an .xml in launcher2.apk? or am I way off?
not new to theming but new to samsung. Working on an ICS theme for 3g Gtab 7+.
Thanks for the help guys.
