Before installing this theme you must have the Lite version of JF 1.42 RC33, which can be found here.
This is my most complete theme thus far which includes icons, a menu bar, status bar images, etc. (Even a custom blue android during bootup)
My wife directed this theme and gave tips which probably made it better
If theres anything you notice that needs to be corrected or if you have suggestions, please leave feedback. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, yea i'm having trouble finding the pictures icon file lol, still searching though. I do plan on going systemwide and adding more to it little by little.
well keep it up....great work.
Im also not personally a fan of the status bar. but only because im not a fan of gradients, doesnt really detract from the theme at all.

I've located the pictures icon and will have an update in a few mins. I'm pretty sure i'll be changing the status bar and drop down bar to match the clock a bit more.
aiight, love the changes...one flaw now...the top bar for the folders....must be coded wrong or something because once selected it becomes distorted severely. I'll post a screenshot.
Thats why we dont edit .9.png files, unless you know the technique that someone has posted here somewhere.
well hopefully he figures it out or someone helps him out with it....its a good theme. and if he figures it out and goes system wide it could be a GREAT theme.
Up until this point, I've never seen a theme that looked slick enough to actually use, without being too niche. I've been tirelessly searching for a theme that just looked good, but wasn't too over-the-top. However, this theme struck me as just that, and installing it as my first theme, I must say I'm impressed.
I only have two complaints -- firstly, as mentioned, the top of the folder menu becomes distorted when selected. Secondly, I would like to see the blue color scheme more deeply integrated into the phone, replacing the orange color when making a selection, if possible. I recall seeing it in a theme somewhere else, so I believe it can be done. I know working with the .9. files are tricky, but I feel that with a little more effort, this can be an A+ theme.
Changing the music icons (Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists) would also be nice, if only changing the icons from green to blue.
Also, I find the background to be just a little too much. I think this one would make a good default; it meshes nicely with the color scheme:

Thanks all for the feedback, its appreciated. Ill definately fix up the folder bar and start incorporating some additional icons to the music window & player, etc. Ill post an update soon today with the changes for the folder.
Excellent looking theme, honestly its beautiful, but I always have trouble downloading from megaupload so maybe if you could change the filehosting site to something more convenient that would be awesome. Don't stop making themes, you clearly have a gift 8D
I generally don't post a lot of feedback. I have just recently started my first theme. And didn't feel that posting feedback till I was contributing to the site was truely justified. (My upcoming theme is a US Presidential theme. With heads of presidents as icons....hopefully I can manage it.)
Back on topic now. I love the theme. It is my newest downloaded theme and my favorite. My only notice is when you go "menu" "wallpaper" "wallpaper gallery" it force closes android desktop. When I choose pictures instead of gallery it works perfect. I know its small, but thought I would let you know. Even with this, I love the theme. Wife wants to know if you have it in Pink, lol. Keep up the great work.

One other issue I've noticed with the theme is that on the very, very bottom of the home screen, there's a bright blue line going across horizontally -- the top of the pull-out drawer. While this may have been your intention, I personally find it a bit distracting. Just my opinion. I feel the theme would be a tad bit better-looking if the line was simply not there, like with the stock appearance.

This is a good looking theme. I like it a lot...
I like this. Navy blue is sick, not too bright and not too blue... Looks really good!
Looks good bro. I like the app tray. Sweet
can you make a jets theme?
I have been asking for this for months now! Awesome bro, you da you da best
1. More red and white.
2. The launcher needs more umf... maybe slide a half football that takes up from side to side. I can give you discription if you'd like.
3. The orb icons need to go... go stock android or hero
4. The calendar is too hard to see/read.
Other than that I love the theme and I will be rocking it from here on out.
GO G-MEN!!!

Thanks for the feedback.
1. I want to add a little red possibly but not much, I want to keep it clean looking.
2. I want to do something with it, I'm not sure about a football going the whole length because of the color, I'll give it some though. I was thinking more along the lines of making it the helmet.
I also thought of making the launcher look like the delete launcher and changing the delete launcher to red and say Wrecking Crew, any Ginats fans have thoughts about that?
3. I'll see about making a version without the icons. Some of the png's are inside the apps so I'd have to keep to versions, and I like them
4. Yeah, I plan on updating this. I like jonnybueno's transparent calendar, I just need to give it a little background.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet GO BIG BLUE

I think the launcher idead with the big blue would be cool.... i was thinking the same thing.... and as far as the idea i was talking about i was thing the launcher you have now chang it to blue with the ny emblem the football would be like the hero launcher but a half football i can try to chop an image for you after 2:30pm est if you would like. I just love the way a two toned launcher looks.
Just please dont do a helmet... i think it is tacky.... i would look at the steel curtain theme here to see what cool ideas they have.

Help is appreciated. As far as the idea about the hero style launcher, I know there is theme that has a blue/transparent launcher that I liked that could work where the current NY symbol could go in the small tabs and big blue in the middle where it says phone. Ill play around with it tomorrow some too and post some ideas up for thoughts.
I was thinking something along the lines of this.... (please excuse the launcher image I made it in Paint and threw it together for an idea)
What do you think?
Edit: I also did a tab with that is a gloss version of the background wallpaper with a white/red ny
Edit: Like this....
Last Edit... Maybe : Here is the wallpaper I have for use ...And one I made!
I have this for a wallpaper too ....

A snapshot of the new icons
I think they look very good on my phone. coming tomorrow..
New Icons for Androkkid "TransparentFrames" finally!
These new Icons should work better for those of you who have like me found the standard winmo icon ugly and pixelated.
I have always thought that some of the IPhone's attraction was the beautiful icons that were uniform in size and shape. So I made my own for Ifonz (based on other people's graphic work). When Androkkid came along I loved the scenic wallpapers you could use but I thought the beautiful scenery of the wallpapers became too cluttered with the IPhone style icons and that the square icons ruined the effect of the beautiful wallpapers.
So these new icons are designed to preserve a uniform style and at the same time be better integrated into the "scenery" by using transparency.
I hope that some of you will have a look at these and tell me what you think
PS If you resize these, they will not work. If they are resized by Androkkid they are fine.
If you want to use these and need other icons, ask me on the themes Thread and I'll see what I can do.
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!
I HAVE MOVED ALL ICON DEVELOPMENT TO THIS THREAD
New!!! Golden Frames
For those who really want to pimp up our phones
here are some Screenshots
The theme used is Teacher's Gold which you find below with the icons
More Screenshots
and even more
the icon files
Finally the iconfiles!
Please consider to try them out, I don't think they are as beautifull as some of the Iphone like icons, like the ones made by bluemetalaxe or Stereo's Leopard, but when you see them glide across the scenery in Androkkid they feel much more integrated into the scenery than the Iphone like icons which leave kind of a square hole in the scenery, however beautiful they are. So what do you have to loose, give 'em a try:
Edit have added new iconfile today 15/12-09 they are now checked out for "white and black" holes and should be okay
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!
I HAVE MOVED ALL ICON DEVELOPMENT TO THIS THREAD
Transparent Icons
These look nice, thank you very much! Any chance you could add a couple more icons to the package (96x96): SMS, Voicemail, Calender, Missed Calls? Or, just tell me how to make these myself and I'll take a stab at it, there's a few web icons I'd like, too. Thanks again!

I'll gladly tell you how I made these, but first here are some suggestions for icons, but what do you mean by an icon for "missed calls" In Androkkid you get a small red circle with the number of missed calls you have. If you think about something else give me a hint
Hope you like these

What is problematic with winmo is that it doesn't support "white". In an icon with transparancy, pure white will show up like a black hole in the icon so you have to substitute white with another light white-ish color.
Another problem is this: When a graphic program like gimp or photoshop compresses a png to a smaller size. it conserves the smoothness of the png by making semitransparant pixels, these are not supported either and show up like white holes in the icons.
If you just index the png it will avoid the semitransparent pixels, but it will scale down with a very crude and pixelated result.
My way around this is to put the compressed png in a frame filled with a very nondescript greyish color. Then I have to eraze all the grey color and decide pixel by pixel which pixels have enough color to let them remain.
This is why it takes so much time to resize these icons. I have to do this every time. In the icon files I have uploaded you can find both an empty and a filled frame.
If you want to try this for yourself you are very welcome to do so but remember that you have test each icon on your phone to find "holes" before you publish them.
PS I haven't tested the last batch of seven icons yet but I will test them before I publish a zip file with extra icons.
PS Gimp is a fantastic graphic program which you can download for free here
Best of luck
Missed Calls
And here's a missed calls icon in three colors
Icons
These all look great, and wow that was fast! By "missed calls" I should have put "Call History" or "Call Log", but it looks like you got the gist with the icons because they're perfect! I'm probably pushing my luck, but maybe a "Tasks" icon? It's the only request I can think of off the top of my head. I'll check out the app you suggested tonight and see if I can create a few "Web" graphics, thanks again!

I have some specific icon requests if possible. I'll also be attempting my own icon pack in the near future.. I'm waiting for this quarter's classes to end first.

New Theme
Am I the first to produce a new theme for Androkkid?
Let me introduce Obsidian, for those who might prefer a more businesslike theme.
It has been developed on a QVGA screen so I have no idea whether it will work on other screen resolutions.
Just unzip and place the Obsidian folder in the Androkkid Themes folder. It will then be available to select under Settings
The Title buttons (more than shown) can be found in the Obsidian theme folder along with a blank if you wish to make different titles (I can make others if you aren't able to do that). I set the size of the Title buttons to 128 x 32 in Androkkid settings and they have to be positioned, as for any other icon. They can also be used as shortcuts as per normal icons. For example, in my setup, I have the Contact button pointing to my address book.
The 'Lock' Icon on the Home page is not part of the theme but has been designed to match. I have included that icon in the Obsidian theme folder, but none of the other icons.
8 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated for compatibility with Androkkid 1.2.0.0 (inclusion of TopBarIcons,png) and correction of transparency problem with Edit & Delete buttons
15 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated with modified graphics

Hey all,
I am running CM7 on my Desire HD and I love them both. I have all the applications set to the dark theme with white text on background and I think things look great.
There some things I would love to change to make it perfect. First is replacing the orange glow when you overscroll with a white one. Secondly is replacing the bright green icons in the statusbar with white ones.
I would love to learn how to theme myself but there seems to be a lot of ways to go about it. Any advice on where to start bearing in mind that these are my goals?
If someone with a lot of experience could chuck this together quickly I would be forever grateful.
I know this is a noob request but we all start somewhere
Thanks for any tips
Ok so been hard at work making a nice blue theme. 90% done and looking real nice. Dug alot of xml files and change alot of major system text colors, still got few more to find. Some screen shots are located here:
http://www.tigerznet.com/xoom
Things to notice
Icons are standard blue
The shadows and outlines are blue
Big clocks are standard blue/dark blue
Major system texts light blue
Descriptions a turquoise color
Running on hammerhead but suggested to use morays battery icons.
