*NEW* PocketCM QVGA Diamond Theme (Best Yet) Now 0.25 Ready - Post #47 (Ver 1.2)

All,
This is my first attempt as modding a theme.. I think I did a good job..
I took the PDVista PocketCM theme with PD's permission and modded the graphics. I also got help from DvTonder to correct the mail icon issue with the newer version of PocketCM.
This will work with PocketCM .21 - .23
This looks just like the HTC Diamond, background, pop up icons on the bottom, etc..
If someone wants to do the graphics over, be my guest.. I would love to play more but don’t have the time.. I spend like a week and change to get things where they are now..
Graphics that need to be done over:
Dial pad needs to be done in gloss black
Dial pad "pressed" buttons need to be done over in gloss black
Menu "pressed" buttons need to be done over with the fancy black diamond theme icon (I included it in the zip).
The icons on the main contact menu need to be done over in gloss black.
This theme has a Greatbal Diamond Look.
Eazy

great work thanks you

guess nobody was really interested..

Wooooooooooooo!
theme now switched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this gets better and better!

Where can I download the standalone version of PocketCM?
I tried using the search on here but it sucks. It just brings up a bunch of threads for themes.
Thanks!

What do you mean, lol. Hush your mouth, lol. Many are interested. Your theme inspired me to use pocketcm all over again, lol. Thanks and look forward to more of your work.
Edit: I noticed your theme is a large one, almost a 1mb. Which I imagine the larger the file (theme) the slower it starts up. Nice theme though.

It looks sweet. The only thing that I don't like about it is that I can't see the phone numbers on the contact screen without scrolling down to it.

A little bit too dark for my taste, as I was using a diamond theme but with white background, but since this one doesn't have the bugs my previous one had I'm changing now, thank you and good work

Wow! Just downloaded pocketcm and your theme rocks! I'm a noob.... anyway to incorporate the text messaging from pocketcm into the standard texting from spb shell using one of the themes people have posted... (such as diamond theme?)

this looks good
will try it once i reinstall pocketcm --- testing icontact right now - and i dont like it

o nooooooooooooooooooooo!
skin turns aqua blue in letter spaces between contacts.and the menu to close and pick options never fully rises. now i'm sickbest skin for this app i seen yet.

What can I say.... EXCELLENT.

Hello,
I just installed it on htc Touch and the color of the font is BLACK for all contacts. So, I can not see any. The color needs to be set to WHITE. Thanks.

looks nice, thanks man, working on my prophet

I use it on my Mogul and it seems to be fine. It's not so bad on startup and I found that it only uses up about 2 mbs of memory.

Honestly, i got tired of reading the whole text message and could not figure out how to disable the auto show phone number with contacts option and make it come up when you select it in the options. so i just made it black, i can change it and upload two diff copies for you guys. If someone can look at the code and tell me what the option is to give the control back to the options "show contacts with phone number" i will change it.

Thanks.. I will prob finish up the graphics since you all like it.. You may want to try a soft reset... I have tested this on my Mogul only.. I can change the highlighted colors if you really want me to.. but it makes it easy to see.. What about two shades of blue??

hi,
one problem i have and not sure if other has the same. In the option i check on "contact without phone" but it still show phone number. I would like to only show just the name.
I have AT&T Tilt
Thanks

problem with menu that comes up from holding down the far right button. doesnt come up all the way. anyone else have this problem? i would also prefer highlighting that menu in a different color than hot pink. excellent job overall.

Can you change the font for the phone numbers to be white instead of black? Then it would be perfect

[Theme] Phenom - JF 1.42 RC33L / *Updated Feb 18th, 09*

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!
Download - Theme (Updated - 2/18/2009)
Download - Wallpaper
Updates:
- Trimmed bottom line from menu launcher.
- Changed menu launcher arrows to white rather than transparent.
- Corrected folder distortion.
- Corrected Wallpaper Gallery crash.
- Corrected landscape mode menu arrows. (New)

downloading now, will give feedback after I gave it a good walk through...looks great from the screen shot.

there is no pictures icon....other than that its cool. really slick and i love the clock.
Any chance on going systemwide with this likethe buuf themes and the vintage themes? cause this looks realllllly good.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=150891&d=1233074919

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.

other than that...the wallpaper gallery and the folder fix everything seems exactly the same.
still a great theme.

As far as the arrow in landscape mode, I'll fix that up as soon as I'm back home. I'll have an update up at about 2am most likely. Let me know if you notice anything else so I can patch it up too. Thanks.

[WAD2 theme] PollPixx WP7 with a twist (black/gold) WVGA - released

Well after making all those icons I was a little disappointed in how fast my battery was dead from using all those animations and everything. Also the blue squares get bored so I came up with a little more stylish idea. So it looks good as well when I am over at customers.
So I took a new default WAD2 theme (just black screen) and started up all over again, just using the basic items I really use and leave all animation out of it. For two reasons, battery consumption and my X1 is a little to slow to work fast with it;-) During daytime I set this theme as default, simple, stylish, quick and accurate.
It contains in basic just 2 home screens which you can reach sliding upwards or downwards. From those two pages you can enter more pages like applications, weather and games. For applications and games I will add all icons I made in 2 different folders so you can add whatever you're favorites are. I will post them seperately so you can put it on your storage card (because the files are 30MB) If you tap on the time the screens goes off, so saves battery as well.
Applications can handle 24 of your favorite programs.
Games can handle 24 of your favorite games
Calender shows your appointments for the coming week
Weather will show you the weather forecast for the coming 5 days.
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIs6dRXGaTc
Here a screenshot of the home pages:
It is 40 MB in total:
wadesktop file is 10MB, press it and select the folder "Lakeridge"-"Wisbar Advance Desktop" - "Themes" to install it on your device. After around a minute a pop up screen tells you it's installed. Now start Wisbar Advance Desktop and change theme. Tap on "search for new themes". After a while a pop up screen appears " Have found 1 new theme". Select the PollPixx theme and in menu tap " Set as Portrait theme". Than tap apply! Enjoy....
The 30MB of Icons can be installed on your memorycard.
As I have a Dutch Rom you probably need to redirect the shortcuts. Easy: Just press long on the screen and choose Author Mode. Than press long on the icon you want to change the shortcut and choose properties. Choose Script on Tap and tap Launch a Programm, now tap edit and select the programm from your device. That's all.
In games and application if you want to change program or game, just select another image and edit Launch a Program to the program/game you prefer. All Icons of the most popular Games and Programs are in the zipfile. If you need another one, just let me now and I will make it for you.
Download zipfile over here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZS2J7YWA
Do you have suggestions to make it better without slowing it down, just shoot;-)
Cheers,
Arnold

THANKs
GREAT
keep the work on
I love it
​

What program do you use to create themes?

In this case I use Wisbar Advance Desktop (obviously) and for all the icons I used photoshop with some plugins from Nik Software to build.
I now want to create an as clean as possible theme which I can use when I am at work. No animation of barely dressed girls or too much colours, just a uniform easy to use theme for during the day. I will make a movie of it tonight.
Cheers,
Arnold

The only thing I used was the "back" Icon, but you know I am a photoshop lover so I can make also one in 4 seconds and that's not a graphic highlight which you can complain about. Switching pages is just in WAD2 as an option which I used. Further on I started over using my own Icons with nothing from you at all. What are you talking about??????
Don't let people think I am just ripping of your theme mister, just download it and you will see it will be all mine which I posted in the icons topic for your theme. As people liked those Icons so much (over 5500 downloads) you might have sold more of your theme, so don't start this discussion, because you will lose on all points my friend.
If you want I change the back Icon, but how pathetic would that be. Further on I can prove the rest is mine, all .psd files are in my computer with the date I made them, so long before you bullsh*t around now.
For christ sake, I even forward people to your site to buy your theme because it is so good, and now you are pulling my leg! Can I at least call this "typical" ???
Cheers,
Arnold

this variant looks free? is it? if so, good for u! You should release a skin for it with WP7 colors too.

Well Midvik is doing the coloured theme and also is rajivshahi, to avoid an overkill of these themes I think I stick with my variant. They do a great job.
Of course what I make is free, that's how it works here at XDA. However, everyone can donate if they like it.
Cheers,
Arnold

@ stianbert...
better than me...
Pollpix (correct ?) made a fantastic Job on Ui customization, now he want fly...
That's great... I respect all work creation and idea to develop and unique and very usable UI... that's why he create this version based On metro UI without panel addition...
RC2 coming soon, after watch demo UI... buy me a Juice...
Have Fun...

okay, let's stop the discussion now and go on topic again.
This was the first time I exported a theme, so I hope no one had problems installing it. Still working on some improvements, but I also deleted some already because the theme would be to extended for quick office use than.
Well, at least it keeps me thinking

Rock on man..im gunna use your icons on my phone is that ok? not a big WP& theme guy your icons are awsome tho.
And dont let them haters(lescro..or however the hell) talk crap. he is just pissed cuz you have better icons and skills.
AND TECHNICALLY LESCRO(AGAIN HOWEVER) you were basing yout theme of Windows Phone 7 theme so technically your jackin there **** to..so dont start complaining when people do a better job then you.

Of course that is okay, that's why I am posting my themes;-)
Well, I am definately not as good as lesscro and have no problem what so ever with him neither, he is good in modifying I am good in graphics (I earn my living making graphics), but it is great fun make those themes. But it is hard to make an original fresh idea
Enjoy
Cheers
oh, I don'y know anything about animation hubs, Leonardo, maybe you could ask Lesscro how he made that working in his theme. I assume it has some mortscript files in it or something...

Animation
thanks, Pollpix certainly is with Mortscript but okay what about "lesscro" I prefer not having to ask him, I'm afraid to ask him a "donation" to teach me how ... rsrsrsrsrsrsr

is there landscape to this ? btw its beautiful im feeling it.

[Theme] [QVGA Landscape] [Standard 6.1|6.5] Smartphone Revitalize Sliding Panel Theme

Hi guys,
So I'm one of those guys still living in the dark age of Windows Mobile Standard. I don't see many good themes posted for good ole non-touchscreen phones, so I thought I'de give it a shot.
Critiques are encouraged!
More information to come...
Requirements
Windows Mobile Standard 6.1 or 6.5
QVGA Landscape device
Installation
After unzipping, look at the folder names for instructions
.

i have broke my last smartphone a while ago (and now all my smartphones are died)
but imo your theme is perfect and nice... very cool text on screen (great chars, slim font)
i love the themes without useless icons ^^
maybe you could add a titanium slider (or only an underlined graphic to the active panel)
the page counter is a little "oldish" maybe you could redesign it and move to another position
and for least a thing (i think is impossible): make the long titles of panels sticking/sliding to read the whole text in it (e.g. in the calendar panel you could read only the first part of the appointment infos, if u get it orrizontal sliding you could read it all like the music info panels) but for me this is impossible
so now i haven't a device to test it, but i like, nice job! thanks to sharing
ot
are you still living in the dark age of Windows Mobile Standard? i wish that times return for me
i miss my old winmo NONtouch... actually i hate to have to tap with my finger on these little display (e.g. i was texting on my htc wings 50sms/hour , now my frineds joke me cuz it seem that i cannot write in a correct italian language...)
non touchscreen are the best phones imo but actually they are lost in the old technologies limbo... and i doubt thay could come out again...

Thanks for the compliments!
I'm working on adding a titanium slider right now to see how it looks, but I designed it to not require a slider. Text on the currently selected panel is white and text on unselected panels is transparent.
I'm still trying to figure out what (if anything) I'm going to do with the page counter.
As for the long titles extending off the page... well that was sort of the goal. It was inspired by the Zune HD and Windows Phone 7 interface. 99% of the time it shows enough text for you to understand, and in the rare case you do need to see more you can always click it. I think horizontal scrolling/sliding for long text would be really cool, but I have no idea (yet) how to make that happen. If anyone know a way to do this, let me know.

i see...
the orizzontal sliding for the title is a "higher sky" and personally the cropped title text is cool
and i love the zunehd inspi.
apps and web apps panels are fantastic
(a suggestion, for the counterpage maybe you could remove the numbers and left only the arrows, white for the next page, transparent if no page avalaible)
all my compliments

I created a version with a slider. If any smartphone users make it in here and would like me to post it just let me know.

Hi gtg456x. I got a new touch phone recently because my contract for the BJ2 was up. I've always loved the performance of Sliding panel plugin, and I can't wait to try this theme. It looks uncluttered, so I think I can finally put some wallpapers that didn't used to work on the standard icon-filled theme. Thanks for sharing and for reviving my interest in the BJ2 phone

this is an awesome theme....it's too bad that I don't know how to apply anything that isn't a .cab file!

I know your probably thinking I'm stupid, but I have no idea of how to install this theme onto my blackjack 2. It looks so great, and I would really like to use it on a daily basis. Please Help!!!

With a black background and this theme is terrific. Almost Zune-esque. Thanks! Here's a screen

how to install a certain part?
can u please point me the way how to install the files that are in...
Optional images for link panels (you will have to create your own to match your links)
i have managed to install all the rest but need some help.

Now if you would port the landscape cpr to a portrait cpr, I would be happy, because I wouldn't have to do it myself (although I made myself a similar theme a couple of months ago, but I didn't release it to the public )...

like it about to put it on my jack

[Q] Energy ROM Question?

I have a question and a little help needed also...So here goes:
I have been using NRGZ28's EnergyROM's for quite some time and have also modified the bottom Softkeybar and buttons to be for me good looking with gold on the edges, etc. Can't post them I don't think because NRGZ28 owns EnergyROM, and it happens t be the ROM that all of my crews in Special Forces use to communicate. Like he mentions it's just eye candy, but it's also White and I kind of guess it's a Win CE 6.5 issue and the white logo is located inthe Shell32.dll, which I don't hve the Software needed to pull the Dll and change it....
So I have a small area that is the left bottom button that you hit to get t your apps and folders... Now the problem is ,is that I ave all this cool buttone, etc and have a app launch left button with a White Win Logo on it.
I can't find where to change it with Photoshop CS5 looking at all the imported manila files and all png's period?
Does any one have any idea how to change that, I thought that the "Energy.RHODIUM.23150.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.05" would have at least made a cover png in the ROM or place a png of the Win ColoredLogo over the coordinates of the white win logo launce button left botton andbe cool?
So I thought I would ask here as I have tried to get in touch with NRGZ28 on his Twitter page with no response..
So there,.... I am a programmer but an F-22 pilot first in the military so I leave the programming to the pro's.. and we have a lot going on right now... Can anyone point the correct direction, I have seen cab's with softkeybars that cover the white logo with the real win colored logo.
If it's in the Cookie 1.8.5 cht files or the Manila files please gove me the manila name or the cht name?
If the spelling of anything is off, sorry can't install the spell checker here.
Thanks

F-22 huh? Damn, that's a sweet bird. I envoy you. I'd just about give my right arm to go up in one (or any fighter really).
Anyways, I'm not sure about the answer to your other question. But I doubt that it's Energy specific so you might try posting in one of the more general forums like Windows Mobile Development and Hacking. Your best best is probably try the themes and skinning forum. I can almost guarantee that someone there can give you the answer to your question.

Perhaps if you posted a screen shot, we could assist you better. NRG doesn't mind you modding or changing his ROMs. As long as you don't steal credit for them, he doesn't care what you do with them.

Sounds like you're talking about the Start Button Image. Now for the "normal" 6.5.X Softkey Bar, there's a PNG. The image used depends on the theme (tsk) applied. You'll need to check the registry to find which image is being used. The Icon in Shellres.192.dll is only used in 6.5 when the start menu is on the topbar or if the .tsk is missing the link to the image in 6.5.X.
HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Today\BubbleTile\BubbleTileFlagIcon
HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Today\BubbleTile\BubbleTileFlagDisabledIcon

OK Here we go, guess I should have done this in the first place.......Making these Cell sections for the teams I work with for darkness usage gets kind of frustrating, but it helps a lot as in the resent past...!!!
The imake with the item Pointed, that I need to change not only in this Sense today screen but also the Sensity also latest versions.
Hope the image shows on the post if not just use the link.
I really appreciate th help as I do beleive as a Commander in the military that some of the teams are really going to be very busy on the other side of the globe very shortly...
The Sencity theme ROM is great with the Today Screen but the white SoftKeyBar Icon Images Iwould have to change and also all of the pages of setup areas like the ticks for settings, etc. So I am just going to and try to merge the Sencity Front Home Screen flat appointment, etc areas with this ROM for the time being...
Thank You for all the help and I also wanth to credit NRGZ298 for a great ROM, not too much but shur as H**l as much as we need..

Why not ask about it in the .sencity thread? In the screen shots of the theme in the sencity thread, it shows that bar to be working properly.

The problem he's having, is he likes the Sencity Theme, but not the white icons on the slider & settings page, etc. So, he's trying to make his own theme, but doesn't know what _manila files to edit. The attached in the above linked post has the 6 files that manila uses.
EDIT: My suggestion though is to Flash the normal Energy ROM without the theme applied. Than, download the Sencity Theme CAB. Dump the cab using WinCE CAB Manager & delete the icons, etc you don't like. Finally, remake the CAB with only the files left over to install over the normal Energy ROM.

Oh, I thought he was trying to edit the Energy ROM that he was using. I was confused since the .sencity themed Energy ROM already has that cooked in. This makes more sense.

Yeah, from what I get, he's a commander of troops using the Energy ROM on their devices & trying to make it as dark as possible so when they use them at night, it won't give away their position like shining a flash light in the air.

I'm a squad leader, myself, but I make sure that everyone who is planning to bring a phone with them turns the brightness all the way down. I normally like to use GTX. Even in the pitch black night, on the lowest backlight level, you can't see the device at all as long as you aren't stupidly waving it over your head. lol (silly new privates...)

OK;
I guess without getting too involved in what we do, I was trying " yes " to ues the nornal ROM and change the images on the Home page to the Sensity type.. I apologize folks but I can't go into too much except my positon and who serves under my command.
These young men deserve every aspect of technology and every edge that I can give them. The military takes over our carrier signal and then there is a program we run that has all we need for position of I.A.C.C. In Area Combat Control. We are some of the darkest units that exist, and are called on to go and do some of the jobs that require only a few to get some one out of an area they are trapped in of rescue combat groups that are out too far and trapped. We are at night always and never leave them behind.
So there that's about as far as if it isn't too far already as I can go into it. We have gear we use but we have found that being resourceful and using everyday items we can walk the day and if stopped it's just a phone...But hidden is the heart of all the cells power..
What I thought I would do is use the one in the image I posted and transfer the Sensity Flat Black png's in the Sencity ROM to this one. The graphics that NRGZ28 uses in Sencity on the home page are perfect but I would have to change their color to a darker or blacker background. So I guess after I used the manila extractor to bring out to a hard drive all the manila files I then change them to PNGs and place them into another directory.
I have loaded both ROM's and done the same thing and then tried to find the images in the flat Home section manila files change them over to mine with Photoshop, then re-inserted the Manila files from a dir that I save all the changed manila files into.
Then when NRGZ28 comes out with a new ROM I load it and then insert my images over his and PRESTO. Done and gone to play at what we do best.
These civilian oppertunities that present themselves is up to Commanders to change so that it is on less thing my men have to worry about. If they have to type longitude and latitudes in for a pickup during a rush fire fight then they can trust the cells totally with out being seen..
I always strive to do everything I can to dodg the Gov. and not have to wait forever to get equiptment that I think is necessary... An old saying is that a good engineer will use what he's got to build something instead of buying it or ordering it through channels.. If we order it, they know somehow what we have...Bingo you got the story...Always evolving in the field is called staying alive!
Thank for all te input folks, I do really appreciate it, as I have been folloring NRGZ28 ROMS for a year now and won't change but I must make this one happen, I's just too close..
Sencity has too small of checkboxes, etc. if you have to make changes in the field.. It's great here at home. But the other normal ROM is perfectly to see but need Sencity Home Graphics....
Yep!! Went too far into it!! I hope this doesn't get away from me in the wrong way but, it's just a blend of the two. I always figured it was some where in the registry and the images..
I will be asking the XDA folks to clear this Question post pretty soon for good reasons, and keep hitting little post here and there till I have all of the Manils files to make this a simple -> Here guy's load the Rom and import these Manila files....Done Deal!!! Quick and really logical..
Thanks anain folks I appreciate your drive on this one.. Hope I placed the right info here now. If anything else is needed to explain, just let me know..
Thank You

Son;
I hate to say this but GTX is good stuff, but at two miles I could see the glow with an M2..Even at the lowest level you have to realize that you may be on the move and if you are then " You're waving it around ". Be safe out there and never use white background on cell as it's called Phos. Glow...
Good to see ya here though, wondered when someone would show up....!! Some of my folks are monitoring this build I'm trying and I will tell you this much, it's way harder to see a letter thats a grey color than a dimmed white back...We tested it and it and for sure that at two to three miles we could see main components lighter better than small letters dim lite..Just makes Sense <- Well go figure?
Take Care!! Be safe...! I have been doing this since Vietnam....
Now guess who got Moussahwe or what ever his name was in Iraq? Iraq troops got there and the Marines got there and both said they didn't do it.
We were standing 100 yards from them in black and listning to what they said? He was overdosed with Morphine after telling what he needed to..
1 of Fifty gone of list...
Take care again and good to type at you....
I'm out and working on this again....
Thanks for what you do Squad Leader....!
We'll be seeing you....and pls don't use GTX in the field, I know cool and and dead isn't cool, it's cold!

C/S SwampFox..

You missed the point of my post. I use GTX normally. When I'm in the field, no matter what ROM I use, The backlight is always turned all the way down. This is nothing new for me. Dimming the backlight keeps the screen in the dark. Even if you're using a black or dark theme, if you're backlight is set to auto or a high setting, it's easy to pick out.
Before we go anywhere, one of the things on my checklist is to make sure that all cells have the sound off and backlights turned down. My main point was that the theme that you use makes less difference in terms of visibility at night than the backlight control does.
Waving your phone around like an idiot will get you seen no matter which ROM or theme you use. Anyway, concealing the device is what's most important. I prefer to rely on the glow-in-the-dark equipment for its low light output and ease of concealability.
