dxTop Themes

Well, it's time I start working on putting together themes for dxTop so that non-root users can use them. I'm looking for theme authors to volunteer up there themes. I'm only looking to start with themes that will work with the 2 tabs in dxTop (or you can offer up additional assets) and have 100% of the Launcher skinned including the menu icons. Check out the dxTop site for a screen shot of the two tab layout.
If you want to give me permission to convert your theme to work with dxTop, please post here with a link to your theme's thread. Also, include how you want to be credited in the description on the market.
I only plan on doing a few to start. But I will be releasing source for building a themed for dxTop.
Thanks in advance for your help! I will start on this today.
Cheers,
John

you have my permission here is my theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472812 i have it on dx now here is how it looks if you use my theme just post theme from kron2 looking forward to source for building a themes for dxTop. and looking forward to quote Themes: I was thinking that is image resources are found on the sdcard, they could be loaded instead of the default ones. This would be an easy way to skin dxTop.

Feel free to use any and all themes made by me, should you want to.

Thanks guys! I have release dxTop with theme support along with Deep Black and Glossy Minimalism.
I will be looking to add the others as time goes on.
Thanks again!

The deep black theme caused a lot of lag on my phone. When dragging from screen to screen, the icons were leaving a trail behind them. Once I uninstalled it, everything was back to normal
EDIT: Nevermind apparently its the new update to dxtop, not the theme. It started happening again, even after a reboot

how deep does the dxtop support for theming go? Is it only the icons on the desktop etc or does it extend to pattern lock buttons etc?

Question:
I currently have the Rusty Metal theme installed through flashing the update.zip. If I switched to say Deep Black through the supported theme (not through update.zip), and didn't like it. What would I get if I switched back to default? The original stock theme, or Rusty Metal same as it was before?

Going back to original will use the stock resources so if you have a rooted theme installed it will show.

Sorry if this has already been answered but I just can't seem to find it.
Is the non-root theme unable to replace the status bar?

Correct, it can't change the status bar.

It's cool using the dxTop them in conjunction with a regular theme.
IE, I'm using the Glossy minimalist dxTop theme with the "Glossuite" competition theme, and it's cool.
Can't wait for more themes to be ported to dxTop.

Can you pleeeeease put up CARBON GLOW.

Isnt that the launcher from systemforce or specforce theme? looks similar.

the clock is not in it.i did not like the clock in the nexus dump so i made my nexus clock and the launcher i made i will have to look up systemforce or specforce theme.

added a morph with just the clock and looked at systemforce don't look like it at all and don't see specforce or any thing like it.

Sweet!!!!

nice i like it! looks like you have a few metamorphs, would it be possible if you could put them all in one thread so that they are all easily accessible. it would also decrease the clutter of metamorphs in the theme section. just a suggestion.

is the settings widget included too?

Can we get advanced launcher support?

metamorph will replace the images in whatever you have as Launcher.apk in /system/app/ if that is the Advanced Launcher, then you have Advanced Launcher support.

I was joking guys ,no launcher looks like his.

kron i have a question. The clock on my phone looks a bit like the screenshots you posted, some grany lines separating the shades of grey.
But checking inside the metamorph file on the pc the clock dial file looks perfect.
Is it the low resolution of my phone?

Custom Docks!!

found a thread on the LauncherPro Forum, docks are being shared on there.
http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=854

Thanks! Love LauncherPro...

since i'm too lazy too create an account in the forum there i will post mine dock here. hope you like it. It's just a 2 tone dock nothing fancy.
EDIT: added a snapshot to get an idea of what it will look like on your phones.

sweet, thanks for the heads up

thanks for sharing your dock, if more people share could make this sticky

Yea, that would be nice. Come on guys let's see them docks.

Here is mine from my CM5 theme. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696285

I think you should change the title to
"Launcher Pro Custom Docks"
then people will realise what this thread is really about

HI, how can I get a dock like this on VillainRom 12?
Is it only for non sense ROMs?

Docks are gay and iphonish, sorry just my opinion.

[CM7 THEME CHOOSER(HDPI)/LPP/FANCY WIDGET/FONT] BlackSlate v0.2 (12/apr/2011)

Here's a combination of a modded LauncherPro (installable over signal23 ones or on its own) and a matching theme for CM7 Theme Chooser.
This is the very first release, so there could be various bugs.
At the bottom of the post you'll find some screenshots with various backgrounds, I think this LPP theme could match almost anything
So here are the files:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14602324/BlackslateLauncherPro.apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14602324/BlackslateCM7.apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14602324/BlackslateDock.jpg
Alternative transparent dock (even cooler, see last screenshots):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14602324/BlackslateDockTr.png
Matching Fancy Widget Pro skin (replaces h7cclock, see last screenshots):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14602324/h7cclock.rar
Here's the font (apply with FontChanger)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14602324/HelveticaNeueLTCom-Lt.ttf
Icons come from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804085
Install as normal apks.
CHANGELOG:
0.1: Initial release.
0.2: Fixed charging battery icons.
There are a few minor issues (affecting only CM7 theme, LPP mod should be fine):
Preview not showing in theme chooser, therefore it's hard to find (but it's there!!! look for the name below).
It shows as "JAMTFlatBlack_Free UOT".
Apk name in "Manage Applications" is erratic (still JAMTFlatBlack_Free UOT).
P.S.: CM7 theme is based upon JAMT by ClassicalGas.

This looks good

Sorry just making sure. This is LPP theme mod is based off of LPP vers v0.8.4.1, correct?

Really nice, using the CM theme now. I think I'll try out the LP theme too.
I did have a little bug with the CM7 theme though, it didn't show a screenshot in the theme chooser, which made it a little hard to find/select.

Yeah I know, there are still some bugs I have to work out (preview not showing, incorrect preview name, incorrect apk name in Titanium or application management). I have no idea how to solve them, I think I have to search XDA for solutions

I love the LPP theme, and the typeface, but the CM7 theme doesn't seem to have worked - I got a sense-style theme, whereas in the screenshots shown it appears to be completely different. Is it because my screen is MDPI, or did I do something wrong?

Sense ui is slow---but who says your hero needs to look boring to get speed??

Who says your phone needs to be boring to be fast??​
look at the screenies below and ill guide you to get your desired look
without sacrificing speed.
first you should pick the best vanilla gb rom you can find.
id recommend roms by elelinux and the OMFGB rom you can find it in the android dev forums for the Hero g2.
Im using OMFGB after using elelinux also, but i like some of the cool options and mods omfgb has although elelinux rom is a bit more speedy. ​
now ill tell you the apps i got on my phone tht cause the look
1. Agile lock ---- For the Salsa sense lock screen.....really responsive, even better than stock sense rom for hero.
2. LP Slate Sense is the sense clock without the animation for less memory consumption there are apps tht include the animation but i dont recommend them.
3. ADW Launcher EX and gingerbread theme for system icons and adw elegant theme for the dock icons. to change dock i cons drag and drop the app and just tap and hold and tap on edit and then on the icon then on adw elgant and choose icon u wish to use
4. for speed turn off animations, use rom toolbox to zipaling apps and setcpu to change ur cpu frequencies to max the closest to 710 the app ur using allows not in the 700 better something like 680 and min to 310-360 and scaling to smartass
5. now get the theme chooser theme finder app from market and look for theme naked simplicity
6. now if you have any issues just post it here and ill help you
dont forget to thank if you found this post helpful

Are you trying to tell us that vanilla is boring? You can do literally anything with vanilla, you can be boring (most people like to call it 'minimalist') if you want, and you can be super complicated.
I prefer to go with the minimalist theme, and for me, sense is ugly, the only advantage is widgets, and I get them with LP+ anyway. This is my last screenshot.
Boring enough?
Whatever... Thanks for the guide, but that sort of stuff is pretty well known.

Thing is most ppl with a hero are always waiting for a sense ui release for the lates firmware just for the look, because they think vanilla is boring. truth is vanilla is very custumizable and speedy..tht is what i was trying to show.....i would thank all you guys who post ur themes and looks for the hero here...to show tht vanilla is the bomb for looks and speed.
thanks ;D

Truth is, on older phones newer sense versions feel like bloatware. I've been waiting for months for froyo sense (with camera, how can one live without it?), ditched waiting, went vanilla.
Never felt regret about that, even for a moment. There are better things in life than sense
Anyways, I wanted to keep it under wraps for a while longer, but whatever, why not mention, since we're talking here vanilla-power, how about this:

(can't post image directly, cause.. well, for a while I have an xda-noob status. ekhm..)
It's my own homebrew theme, so I could use some constructive criticism. Cause after what I've seen in post#2, it makes me wanna change the decor completely..

there is no clock background, it's the overlay for the wallpaper. Read the attatchments properly, there is an overlay thing in there... I get the feeling that the only overlay there is the iPhone-y one straight from Chris, but I cba checking... I edited a few of the images Chris made, you can do it yourself, but if you really really want it and don't want to do anything yourself, I suppose I could do some digging...
