For all whom might be interested in such a thing I found this in the nexus one forums. Credit goes to one stick.e. First (optional), if you want to save your settings (thanks decalex) using root explorer go to /data/data/com.handcent.nextsms/shared_prefs and copy the com.handcent.nextsms_preferences.xml to a safe location on your computer or sd card. Secondly, remove all things handcent on your phone incl. Font packs, plugins, etc. Install as a regular app. Lastly, restore the .xml you copied earlier (if you did it, duh) then change the theme to hero and the style to black and reboot. Now you'll have a sweet handcent with blacked out popups and the message screen shows through to your (live maybe?) Wallpaper.

This looks great. I love that I can see my live wallpaper though the everything!

Awesome thanks running now.
Is there a newer version for a newer Handcent, 3.5.3 I think?

this looks really freakin nice. Thanks for posting.
I was gonna dive into the data/data folder to see if there was an easy way to restore my previous settings (like ringtones assigned to contacts, bubble colors, font sizes.. etc etc). Anyone able to restore their old setup yet while retaining this new version? I'll edit post if/when I figure it out .. fwiw
EDIT:
Sweet.. this worked-- for anyone has super customized their handcent settings (like I have). Someone could probably automate this with a batch, but it's not rocket science:
I use Root Explorer
BEFORE uninstalling your current version, go to:
data/data/com.handcent.nextsms/shared_prefs/
Copy: com.handcentnextsms_preferences.xml to your SDCard.
Uninstall your current handcent version, install the new version.
Copy the backed up xml from your SDCard back to data/data/com.handcent.nextsms/shared_prefs/
Then reboot (which will fix permissions, etc). All seems to work fine though and saved all of my settings.

How do you get the live wallpaper in the background? I only see image and color as options for the background. Thanks!
Edit: I see that you just see your live wallpaper in the settings if you have one set. I thought you guys meant that you could choose a live wallpaper as the background for both the conversation and chat backgrounds...

ya-- it basically just makes the window background transparent, so you see through to the other side.

3. Choose Tools->IMport -> Select the Black/Grey Theme.

Of course it's totally undoable, since i've put the Default Theme of WM06. you can simply import it when u'll get tired of a black theme.
Enjoy,

Nadavi, I'm not sure I understand how you undo it once you want to go back to the default theme. Are you saying that you need to import the default theme onto your device the same way you import the black theme?

Yes, the default theme is included in the zip as well.
Thanks Nadavi. This is really cool.
P.S. Be sure to export your current theme before using this. The default theme that was included was not the one that was on my Tilt.
verry nice!
Thats it? .
Nice App, the theme needs a little tweaking thou. The highlighted tabs under SYSTEM, are the same color as the text.

Looks pretty awesome. Does this change the text and background for things like messaging as well? And is the uninstall clean?

yes and yes.
cant read the system messages.. that kinda sucks. thanks anyways.
I love the black theme! It looks awesome. However, some things are now unreadable. On my Tilt, my inbox is washed out, the message headers for text messages are gray on gray, editing outlook contacts is black on black, and highlighted tabs (as mentioned in a previous post) are white on white. Then there are other little problems like the dropdown arrow for select boxes being black on black. That's all I found before I switched back to my original colors.
It's probably a matter of tweaking the individual colors, but that's tough if you're not sure what does what because you have to soft reset to see what changed.
Does anyone have a black theme that is tweaked so that everything is legible? If you could export it and post it, I'd love to get my hands on that.
Nadavi, I'm tweaking your black theme to be HTC default gray, but I need a little help. What component controls the color of the selected tabs in the setting module? The text color is white and the tab is white. Thanks for your help.

Hopefully we'll see a fully usable black/gray theme soon in one place or another.
Hi guys, you can always download the most current version of UI Tweaker from my site. Glad to see the interest here...it's motivating me to work on the next minor update (WVGA and VGA support) soon. Also got some bugs to fix in TdyScheme Changer.
P.S: If anybody have some nice themes exported from any of the "sub-programs" in UI Tweaker and wish to share with the rest, you can send me an e-mail and I can probably post the files you exported from the applications on my site (of course with credits).
I installed it on Storage Card but for some reason the phone start in safe mode, tried to uninstall it but the phone still start in safe mode, what happened, help would be great.

[REQ]Icons for mail/messages

Okay so I was browsing this forum a while back and I remember coming across a thread/post that had multiple icons for notifications, e.g an icon for gmail and then an icon when you get a few mails etc
I can't seem to find that again despite busting my ass looking for it
So I was wondering if something like that actually exists and if it's possible to use icons like that via bettercut/folderorg lite? I have a HTC Desire so unfortunately metamorph is out of the question...

5noc, yes!
But not for launcherpro/ADW launcher. I'd like to be able to stick it on the homescreen.
Though if you can guide me the way of icons of that fashion that I can use in docks too I'd appreciate it tremendously!

In my Hero the stock SMS icon when placed in the homescreen does that without any modification, running stock 2.1, then again it may be because of Sense, I don't know
What you see in my screenshot is LauncherPro, to customize the icons of your dock just create a folder in your SD called "Custom" or whatever you like and put there the icons, for that screenshot I used the RoughDraft icons founs in MacThemes (http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16803227), they already have transparency so you only have to copy-paste the ones you want into the SD folder.
Next press the icon in your LauncherPro dock that you want to change and select "Change icon" from the menu that will pop up, open the Gallery and select the icon you want
When you are done, if you create a blank file in the folder where you have the icons and rename it to ".nomedia" without the quotes, the images inside that folder (the icons you're using for the dock) won't apear no more in the gallery when you open it to see your camera pictures.

A simple icon can not do that, it would have to be either built into the launcher or it would need to be a widget (Handcent has that). They might have some widgets on the market
thank you guys!

[HOW-TO]Resize your widgets using LPP | Updated 01 Dec

Resize your widgets
for a better looking homescreen!​
Requirements:
- LauncherPro Plus (Alternatively ADW Launcher)
- A lot of patience (seriously) - resizing can be a *****
- And some sweet widgets!
This can be done with basically any widget. I re-did the entire post so let me know if you need actual instructions.
I think the screenshots are pretty self-explanatory but feel free to PM me or reply to the thread with suggestions.

I was informed of adding widgets this way by Hollywood. Earlier I did it inversely - but this way the widgets won't overlap the wrong way
if you reboot and stuff like that. All your widgets will stay where they are until you move or resize them again.

Reservation in case I need it.

What the hell.
I'm gonna reserve this one aswell.
Never know.
Thanks!

I'm using NeutraFace and it's super expensive. I'm not the one to suggest warez but a quick Google search might land you the font.
If you add the widget you want as background first, it will be okay when you restart the phone. It will not look good before the restart but after a restart it will be just fine.
You can resize it last of the widgets but remember to add it first of all.

Great tutorial!
Just wondering, how is it that your widget list combines your items. Meaning, for gTab simi clock, it just shows its listed one time then in () it shows u have 4 options, whereas in mine it actually list all 4 items. (see screenshot) Therefore my widget list is hella long. Wondering of u used an app to condense the list?
EDIT: Nevermind. I found it Its called AppWidgetPicker
Hi. I'm trying to install one of your SMS Unread Widget Mod without success. Can you post the correct way of doing this?
Thx...
You don't need to modify SMS Unread Count - You can add custom images to your SDcard > data > kankosmswidget. Just drop your images (.png) there and choose Custom Icon when you add SMS Unread Count.
I'm on the Oxygen ROM - I'm pretty sure most 'new' AOSP ROMs have that feature. Either way I've had it since I first got my Desire and tried out OpenDesire. It's not an application or anything that does it - It's the ROM.
I'll be updating this post soon so stay tuned.

You don't need the SPB launcher to get that theme. The 3D stuff in the middle is just that certain launcher. What you want is the notification bar theme right? I don't have it myself, as I don't use those themes, but I would suggest using the UOT kitchen and you can cook it yourself. It's pretty easy to figure out and get your own themes up and running.

I took some time and threw together what I THINK you're looking for... it was actually quite a bit more work than I thought it would be, but I just tested this out on my Nexus S (i9020a) on the latest CM7.1 Nightly (b. 180) and it worked fine.
I'd recommend backing up your Androidian.apk just in case something goes wrong, or even a full nand backup. You'll need to push this apk to /system/app and make sure permissions are set properly.
Here's what I did to set it:
1 - Use Root Explorer (or another file manager with root access) and go to /system/app
2 - Make sure the directory is mounted as RW
3 - Rename Androidian.apk to Androidian.apk.bak
4 - Browse to where you saved the modified APK on your SDCard and Copy/Move the modified apk to /system/app
5 - Set permissions (rw-r--r--)
6 - Reboot phone.
7 - Once phone is back up, go to Theme Manager and select Androidian.apk and apply.
8 - Hope it works for you like it did for me
I really like this a LOT. I've been thinking about requesting for it too. Can I add to the request please?
@tehgeekguy - Can you modify it further to remove the horizontal dividers in lists? Especially in sms and the menu lists. Pretty much like Minimalbread and Lucid. Please?

You mind taking a screenshot of what you mean? To be honest, I don't use themes at all, but I could tweak it how you'd like if you can show me what it is you're wanting changed.
Hello, Im hoping to remove all those white lines. Especially in messaging. That horizontal divider in message list or menu items. Please see attached image.

I THINK I got what you're wanting. I attached two screenshots with what I've managed so far. This will basically remove those bars from anywhere they'd normally show up (Settings menus, Messaging app, pop up menus, etc...). The screenshots show the Settings menu and the Power menu (I clear my messages daily so nothing in Messages to show but a black window).
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten it to work in a theme yet, but I can get it working with a morph, or you can yank the files and merge them manually if you know how, it's not too difficult. I'll keep poking around the theme files and see if I can get this put into the one I uploaded earlier. The morph is NoDividers.zip (attached).
WOW! This $hi+$ AMAZING! I can't THANK YOU enough! Best thing about this morph is that I can use ANY theme without those pesky dividers! Really NEAT man!
I really recommend this to anyone who love David's MinimalBread and Sonny Sekhon's Lucid.

[THEME] Pure Calendar Widget

I modified a couple of skins with some nicer (in my opinion at least) icons.
You can apply them from within the widget settings under the name:
-tacchan23_XXXXmod (from left to right: ECLAIR, ICS, PURE)
both for Agenda and Grid widgets. (sometime not all the skins are visible at first, in case click on "update list")
You can also select the transparency level when you apply a new skin, so it's possible to make the ECLAIR team transparent too.
All credits go to the original images creators, I just modified them a bit and put all together.
Here some previews:

It comes out as the default pure skin which is already installed. However if i install and select the other skins like ics, it installs perfect.

Maybe you could try to clean the App Cache?
Otherwise you can try to uninstall the skins from the calendar widget app.
Then with a root explorer go to /sdcard/.org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar/skins_v2/backgrounds and delete any folders named "tacchan23xxxx".
Then on the widget app, press the update list button and finally download and install again.
Let me know if it works...
I tried clearing cache and data. Didn't work, so I just uninstalled it, and it's all good now

I fixed the icon position in case someone still interested.
