Hi all, this is my first attempt at theming for WM smartphone.
I started following the WM7 theme development thread, then I downloaded and installed a theme on my S730; it was quite good, but I didn't feel it to be at home: the default htc theme is grey, so are all apps (communication manager, audio manager...) and splash screens.
So I started modifyng it: the result is what you can see here (theme attacched); I use Facade and Madbeetle Clock Plugin.
Hope someone can enjoy it.
Very nice. I'm glad to see you used Facade.
For those who might be interested, I've found time and will to update the theme, moving down the program launcher bar and adding Fizz Weather.
New plugins needed: Fizz Weather (of course) and orange.
can this be used on an s710 ? and sorry for asking, im quite a noob at this, but how do i install a theme like this ? the zip file does not have a .cab file included
I think there's no problem in using the theme with an S710, but I'm not sure 'cause I've not one; perhaps some problems could arise from the version of Windows Mobile (S730 come shipped with WM6, don't know if you upgraded your device to the same version), but again I don't know (as you can see, I'm not that expert... ).
To install the themes, simply unzip the files in \Application Data\Home; of course you need to install the plugins used:
- Facade
- MadBeetle Clock
- Fizz Weather
- Orange plugin
Here is what I think would be the latest major upgrade to the theme.
I switched from Fizz Weather to Mini Weather (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392267&highlight=miniweather): this is an app which basically timely reads Google Weather xml (or other similar services), then creating a bitmap and updating the background of your smartphone accordingly to weather conditions reported in the xml.
I made my own master backgounds and icons; the result is in the provided jpeg: the large icon in the background and the first of the little ones shows current conditions, while the other 3 icons show forecasts for the next 3 days.
Here are the files needed; the content of Mini_Weather.zip must be copied in the MiniWeather folder created by the program (for info about the program itself please refer to the link provided above).
orange plugin
hi sir,,
thanks for the themes,,
but,where can i get the orange plugins my fone is not an orange branded...
edit:
i got orange plugin already hehe
the picture contact how can i add the picture contact in this theme?
im usung htc s730
Theme iOS5 looklike
After a couple of events involving me and other users, it seems important to add here pair of lines explaining my work and how is working (complete version at page 8).
MIUI themes are something like a big mess, everyone post things in the MIUI forum, in the internet or in the online theme section of the ROM itself, and noone have any kind of copyright, so it's quite easy to find a theme, open it, take some parts and go on. This is my first theme and first work on Android, so I started really from zero. I based my work on a theme found on the web, then added some parts from another theme. Only now, when the theme seems to be complete, I'm starting my own work. Why? Because every file has its name, and every name has a direct correspondance to a part of the ROM (which will be themed), as noob as I am, I don't know one of these name or where to find it, so I'm basing my work on files made by other and editing them and replacing with my own. It could seem something not very honest, expecially for the donate button at the end (I'm not forcing anyone to donate something for a work that it's not completely made by me), but I don't know any other way to create a theme without having a base over make my work. I've just explained two times these things in this thread and, if it possible, I like to end it here with explain it every weeks to another one.
Credits are at the end, thanks for you opinion and support.

Credits need to be given to the user Amitmiz (IlStone and probably other nicknames) who made the theme on which I based my work. So credits goes to him until I've made my own one, I'm working in that way
Take care that this theme will work only on MIUI ROM phones, and expecially only from version 1.7.8 or newest. It's not retrocompatible with older version of this ROM. If you need it for older release, please ask me.
Should be compatible with all MIUI supported HDPI phones, if not, please contact me, I will work to make it usable also for you.

added themed lockscreen, still W.I.P, it's a beta version, I don't like the way it's written "Slide to Unlock" and the clock which is too small.
Stay tuned for future update!!
Good job bro
As a future update, I suggest using matte bubbles for the SMS app. Also, are you planning to include a dark version of the theme?
Personally I'm a fan of dark themes, and a dark theme with colorful matte sms bubbles will make this theme rock even more

Well, I am a dark theme fan too...and I'm very precise on what I do. I'll first finish this one in "all" its part, and then start working on something more. But it's the first theme I make, so I'm working quite slow 'cuz often I'm not sure on what I'm doing...
But I'm starting appreciating this kind of hobby
Sure there will be other updates of this one and probably the creation of other themes.
This is kinda like the theme seen in that video about the iPhone knock off called "Gooapple."
Sweet! Definitely gonna try it out

Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
yep, i tried both and the darkest one is definetly better!
maybe less iphonish...but a lot more stylish
this late evening or (probably) tomorrow morning there will be the update
i will also try to fix the clock in the locscreen which I think is still too little
was totally stupid question, just read the title again sorry

Don't worry.
It's my first thread as "developer", so I'm very happy of having question to answer and stuff like that
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
well i stupidly asked how i could get it too work on cm7 theme chooser, then done some research and then came and noticed its for miui rom, doh lol
Sent from my Blade using XDA App
ahah, I'm sorry, but I think it'll not work.. but if I come back to CM7, probably I'll do one anyway.
Version 3.4.279 with bootanimation will come tomorrow morning 'cause I'm having some troubles (lags) with the bootanimation, and I prefer to fix them before releasing.
QUESTION:
which paddles is better? Or better with ON-OFF?
CLEAN
NUMBERS
same is with the off paddle with the 0
Cant wait for update!!
UPDATE 3.4.279
added dark apple bootanimation
fixed "slide to unlock" pattern in lockscreen
please tell me what you think about the boot"animation", cause I think that there are curious circular shapes around the apple logo which I'm not finding it very cool..
waiting for an opinion even for the paddles set-up for next update
