How do you customize the colors of the fonts and like the background of the texts from green and blue to like black n blue.
change the files in \res and recompile...

Trust me, this is tough. If I were you I'd get go SMS from the market or handcent SMS also from the market.

+1 for handcent or go sms...
this is a whole lot easier that messing with your file system. You can change the colors easily and it gives you a ton more options than the stock messaging
Thanks guys, really appreciate the help I'm so happy with how it looks now haha

I have been searching for a couple of days and I can't find anything. I really want the new Sense UI icons on the Desire/Legend as a metamorph/flashable file.
I can only find them in themes and not as icons by themselves. I will include a .zip file of the Desire Icons I found in the Hero CDMA thread.

What can i do with this file? Sorry i'm a noob but i can tell its not just the icon set.

Here you go! The zip that's attached is supposed to be metamorphed and not flashed. And if you really want the ultra look of the htc desire, I would suggest heading over to the hero link over in my sig and then metamorphing that, and then using this metamorph to give the icons the HTC Desire/New Sense look. And this goes for all people! haha. Well, enjoy!
PS: I figured I would throw the HTC Desire looking wallie in the mix as well. Happy metamorphing!
thanks man
edit this is some of the icons but they are not all correct thanks anyway though

What do you mean it's not all? I know it's not all..it's MOST of them anyway. The system applications anyway..you didn't even know what to do with that file, and the ones I gave you are correct sense UI icons. Sorry I sound blunt..just feel dissed and think that your 'edited' statement was really not necessary considering I helped you out too and I acknowledge you said thank you but it's almost like your 'edit' statement really was unnecessary, and I really never get offended at anybody. I took time to help out. Just a thank you no edit would've been fine..

Just installed this with metamorph on cm 15.1 and everything worked except the browser. Can you double check that the browser icon is correct? Ill try to reinstall just the browser, in case that's the issue.

Well, try and re-download the zip file because I just tested it right now and it works perfectly for me. Don't know why it's not working for you. Anybody else having this problem? But mine works, and I'm using the same zip file. The one on this page with the updated Contacts.apk icon fix that I messed up on before. Let me know how it works for you after you re-download the file.

Does "- Some text in some buttons are not white (I have been unable to fix this and I probably won't)"
Mean that on some buttons it's not possible to read the text and therefore the function of the button?

Yes but it is very few buttons and only in some particular apps. The text can be read but it is very unclear. You can go in the Gmail app and the show pictures button for example has this issue
Hi ComputerFreak. I have just installed Black Perfection 2.1 on my Elelinux 1.9 ROM and I really like the looks of it. However, all texts are in black... even the ones at the top of the screen (notifications, time, etc.). It is different from the screenshots you show. Please tell me how to change the font colours to white! Maybe a tiny patch will work??
Thanks in advance!
Really appreciate your hard work!

Hey thanks for the CMTheme.zip file. I rebooted my phone and now everything looks perfect!
But now I have another problem... I installed the special theme HTC_IME mod keyboard and it works great. However, every single time I reboot it is gone and I have to reinstall from the .apk file..
I'm not sure if it's because of the CMTheme.zip file or the Black Perfection Theme itself. Maybe they cause to keyboard to revert to its original?
Sorry I have to trouble you again..!
so im very new at all of this and what im about to ask i probably wont get to many answers back. but im trying to learn themeing and ive tryed to do it myself but i just get lost really fast. i was wondering if anybody would take time to maybe show me how to get started...tutorials wont help till i officially no what im doing....if anybody can help me u would be a very big help to me... thank u!

i mean tutorials are the way a lot of us got going, or really got into it
basically though, just start by using 7zip to take apart the frameworks from another theme and look through the drawable-hdpi or hdpi-4 folders and see the changed images
its a lot to take in though really...not something that can be picked up in a week or something...but dont get discouraged

i don't think you understand the concept of a tutorial
to bo honest i dont think i do...thats why im trying to learn
You really just have to jump in. I use winrar instead of 7zip . But to start, open up a theme that already works for the fascinate ...and just look at the folder tree and understand where everything is ... after that, Start replacing images. XML editing is going to take a tutorial, but there is a lot you can do before you take that step. It takes time ... and patience. Pretty much just jump in .you have an advantage being that this phone is so easy to recover if something goes wrong. It is addictive though ... be warned. The theme I'm working on has consumed my life almost haha.

The point of a tutorial is to show you what to do. So you should give them a shot instead of writing them off.
i did...i read like three to four tutorials but they all start in diff areas of stuff and it just gets to confusing...im trying though...im not just writing it off...i really am

while i *should* update my tutorial to include more of the basic stuff, the reason most of it focuses on the more advanced xml/.9 things is because in december/january that seemed to be the most pressing issue for many.
i was getting dozens of pms a day on androidforums/xda/irc with many of the same questions, and while i was trying to be helpful and respond it was getting to be a bit overwhelming....so i figured id answer the most commonly asked things first and work back from there...but then dl30 dropped, then eb01 and i got tied up by porting the themes/ports i maintained.
now that im working on more detailed themes that takes up most of my android time...but ill see what i can do about updating the tutorial
Thank u man...sorry for being such a noon :/

So is it really hard to combine elements from different themes to make a new theme? There are several different ones that I love parts of, but I would like to be able to pick and choose and piece one together...
Like for instance, I like somebody the dark themes, but I don't always like plain toggle buttons, and I love the stock gingerbread statusbar with the little vertical battery meter that has the percent in it.... some themes I did the transparent pull down, etc....
I'd like to be able to mix n match
How hard is it to do that?
