Some 3D icons I made for myself. They work well with Metro UI on a white background. Not exactly awesome, but I post them here—maybe somebody will find them useful.
Please do tell me if you want more, and provide me an icon for it, if possible.
A paltry 9 icons.
Looks great, but can you change the background into an alpha-channel?
I think it would be much better, when you can use it on non-white wallpapers, too.
Yeah I can do that. It had crossed my mind, but since I used these on a white background, it didn't matter. I'll make some changes so they look better on a different background, grey sucks
I'll post 'em tomorrow, thanks for the input!

I use themes all the time and my phone has never looked as sexy as it does now thanks to all theme devs.
I have one quirk, all themes look so sexy with one odd ugly looking calender widget on my home screen.
Please..Please.. skin the Calender widget when you release the next version of you skin. All Devs pay attention to search & Music widget but leave the Calender widget.

i was looking through the .apk, and it looks like it would be mostly xml edits to skin the calendar widget.... not 100% sure tho
I agree... The calendar widget looks very awkward on most of these themes.
posted this exact request in Q&A a couple days back, no responses...
I know beagz said he was going to look into this, that's the last I'd heard. I hope someone can make this happen, default widget just doesn't blend with these beautiful themes.
Yes still planning. Had some other requests taking priority

Something dark would be really nice... is it possible to make the text white?

ears burn much? look forward to seeing what you do. I'd love to see something that blends with the hero flip clock or retro widgets but I'm sure whatever you do will look great. Really think someone needs to take the initiative and develop a new calendar widget from scratch, so many possibilities though... now that I think of it, I'd even like a full screen widget, maybe... ahhh who knows.
I like the flip clock idea since so many use it.
Stay tuned. When I do that there will be more than one.
I wish someone would just do a simple skinning of it like how the pictureframe in KSpec Oreo looks... just the border needs a good look the rest can stay the same.

Text color is not a part of the ROM. You can change the color of your text by logging into your google calendar online and on the left should be your calendar name, change that color to what you would like your text color to be and then resync your phone. Text changed!
Please, PLEASE can someone release a set of skins for this!

Check out the "pure Calender" widget. it costs $0.99, but it is SO worth it. There are different sizes to fit with just about any widget setup, and a bunch of different skins so it can blend with almost any theme you want! Also, it shows as many events as will fit on the screen, not just one like the default calendar widget
Long overdue... I give you: pureblack3
It's not supposed to be fancy, just black. Based on the latest (as of 10/2/09) theme files (Build 23060). For (W)VGA and (W)QVGA devices.

it would appear that you're using the (W)VGA version with a WQVGA device. Try the (W)QVGA version in the first post.

that is the one im using
researching.
Thanks m. carroll. I was hoping you'd put this out. So far, it's working great on build 23420.
Thank-U!!! I love your themes they rock; I will publish in my kitchen when released, with all due credit
All the best - DA
PureBlack?
With all due respect (and genuinely mean that, cause I sure as hell haven't been able to create anything of the sorts... although I'm still trying) But for "PureBlack3" There sure is a lot of white and faded shades of gray rather than black. if it's call pure black, then make all the backgrounds in the menu's, and GUI in general, that are usually white... make those black, invert the font colors, and you'll be amazed just at how much batter life alone you will be saving people. The handset expends little to no power to display a black pixel, because there is simply nothing to display. Displaying a white pixel uses the most battery power. It's also really helpfull when usign the handset in a night time vehicular setting because you have less light distracting your vision.
Could maybe it be possible if you were so inclined, when creating PureBlack4, or perhaps a PureBlack3a, truly make it as pure black as possible.
I apologize if in anyway this post is insulting or derrogatory, for that was not my intention. Keep up the good work.

With respect, I disagree.
As an electrical engineer, I can confidently assure you that the color of a pixel has an unnoticeable effect on battery life. Black backgrounds would have no effect on battery life. The backlight is the battery-drainer, and the theme has nothing to do with that. Other than that, the way that WM is written, it's almost impossible to do what you're suggesting. My aim was to give a "mostly black" theme that the Microsoft set of themes were missing. I suppose your argument on the semantics of the theme name is correct, but I guess that's why I'm not an english major
Thanks for the suggestion!
My first time uploading a theme I did for Sense 2.1.
Its based on Burberry's Original, Black and Purple Checks. This includes the background and clock of Sense 2.1. I can't make a screen shot, so sorry about that, maybe someone who tried it can be kind enough to post it for me.
Download
Checked out your theme. Very nice clock...I am not very familiar with Burberry the colors for the wallpaper are they the right ones? if you had something a little brighter or lighter it would show up better against tabs, programs and other options. I took some screen shots and will upload them for anyone who wants to see the good work you did. Thanks, I will find a place amongst my collection of clocks that actually work as they should.
Great job and hope to see some more quality work from you. Maybe a theme that could go a little futher and skin other buttons and options?
Chavtastic!!
I saw some icons like these on a screenshot the other day and liked them so much I made my own. Thought I would upload them in case anyone wants them. Sharing is caring! lol
Edit- oops, looks like because they are white you cant see them. THEY ARE THERE UNDER THE SCREEN SHOT.
Those look like they're based on the Metro style that's gotten pretty popular lately. I've used a similar icon pack that's got a pretty wide variety of icons.

The artist is extremely receptive to feedback and is pretty steadily adding stuff where requested.
Awesome! Thanks for the link. To be honest, I didnt do a lot of looking around to find out where they were. Just made the 4 I needed and left it at that. But that guy has made a ton of them!
itachi1706 and I(yes we are friends) are gonna make a CM7 theme! I am going to try my best in theming the icons based on Cyanbread so that it would look good on our OB. Yes i know i am not gonna win those popular themes like LunarUI and others but i hope that you guys would give us your support so that we would do our very best!
itachi1706 would be doing the coding for the APK while i would be doing the theming of the icons. I dont mind u guys use this for your other mobile devices running CM7 but I am only making it usable on HDPI and most probably look good on OB(I am not saying that it wont look good on other devices)
So we need suggestions coming from you guys like what features do you guys want to see on our device, for eg. Transparent or Translucent framework, middle-clock, icons for the different apps or maybe even stuffs i have not know of yet! Just tell me in the comments below and i will try to implement as must features of the themes u guys want into the theme!
Also I have already decided to make the edge glow bright orange! maybe i would be releasing other coloured versions too but that would come later! And I would not be doing ICS style as you all know there is alittle way too much ICS themes for CM7 or any launcher like LPP or ADW, so therefore i do not wish to compete with them and then lose out in the end saying that we just copied them or anything...anyway we dont want that to happen so we might as well just do something like LunarUI which is based on original and stuffs like that!
So I would like to hear from you guys soon!
Yes. We sincerely hope you guys will give us feedbacks of what kind of theme you guys would want for your phone. We aim to create a theme that is not only original but would be used by people!

Sounds good. I'll be happy to try it out.
well..if u ask me of it...i'll want to have a "Dirty" "rusty" "BOLD" kinda look to the black.
u know, the dirty icons, some translucence (not transparent!!!...believe me, it will initially look nice, but eventually it will intrude with the usage of the phone with the background getting in the way of visibility). i kinda like the bold look, like deep blue, always great black & white, etc etc.
the using of orange overglow is good, but u should have the overglow in the same color as the icons (it'll look streamline)....that all i gotta say.
at the end, wateva u guys make is good for me
after all, it's your first theme ...maybe u'll eventually start making themes like upwardspiral or sonnysekhon....all the best
happy trying
Center clock, semi-transperent status bar.
And widget buttons - keep the icons small as possible.
Rest coloring and effects.... that's upto you to come up with something different.
