You are welcome to design some themes for the RSSTab, unfortunately it is quite limited on layout changes (the main interface is sense based so moving things around is very difficult), but the graphics and colours should be adjustable.
I really need some decent colour themes (below is not an attempt at a theme - (yes, I know the colours do not go!), it is more to show the different items which can be changed).

Will also need a set of icons for video, audio podcasts, each showing ready to play or available to download (as well as previously played and perhaps even previously downloaded - grey versions maybe). Need them to be very easy to see the difference between etc, so either definite shapes or colours for each.
User sharkie405 started doing some themes (but that was before the text colours could be adjusted).
Anyway, it's up to you since it expect you are after more flexible things to design, full GUIs etc. As I said, unfortunately the actual layout is somewhat difficult to change so that probably spoils a lot of the design fun.
However if you can come up with the themes, I can implement them. I want to make some anyway, but it would really help if I had some themed graphics and colours to run with (rather than spending time trying to come up with my own poor excuses for graphics or "borrowing" them).

That is a very poor pickup line!
I'll put together a package with the graphical files in them when I get chance.
Here's a zip of the theme files (I'll also post it on the development thread of the tab).
Hopefully I can reimport the files back into sense afterwards, it should be able to handle transparency hopefully, also I think the sizes for the sense graphics are quite specific (div by 4 or 8, can't remember).

I hope everyone like the idea and hopefully we can make a theme together.
I'd like people to contact me even if you've never made a theme before I can teach you as long as your good with graphics, the graphic drawing is the hard part.

i luv the idea, but just wish it was easier to change the UI so that animations would be resemble that of LCARS, similar to pocket LCARS on wisbar by neil strawbridge.
lol, i kinda miss my old winmo phone with LCARS now...

If this theme is good (not overly bright and true to the canon) then I will pay for it. I like LCARS interfaces but I have yet to find one on any platform that does Star Trek justice.

Hi
I'm not charging for any of my work just trying to do it for love....
But I am trying to get a few people to help out, at this rate, it will be a whole rom, instead of a theme! but slowly slowly.
I'm using a sample off of LCARS for the colours, which can be changed quite easy... just trying to get the feel together first.
What I really need is a really good Swiss911 font, finding it difficult to find, emailed the guy who did the winmo one and hopefully get some help off of him.
I'm hoping to get some more dev time later in the week to really start work, I also have some people who are making widgets and I have started on 15 of them.... just really need to know what bases people are using, I think it will have to be sense, and not ASOP sorry, will try to port at a later date.
Thanks for all your feedback and please email
[email protected]
if you would like to help out on this.....
Ok which is better top set or bottom set, don't worry about alignment or res, I can sort that out.
Also if anyone can work out how to get them closer? Without it crashing

Go with the top set!! I like it
i'd say bottom.
You can reply on the other forum.

I prefer the top one but I like the fact that the bottom set's buttons are closer together

Update?
Any progress after a year?
It was looking like it was coming together.
as far as I'm aware, he doesn't have a Hero anymore... and there has been no update on VR forums, I've seen. As before, most people find the standard launcher style very difficult to re style into LCARS. While I do not use this anymore, I found the best way to get the desired effect was using SweeterHome. However the app is in Beta (downloadable from website) and has been for quite a long time - thats not to say it hasn't been updated several times tho.... The Market version is really old too.
anyways I made this 1:
http://www.sweeterhome.com/boards/10/topics/2442
I did have the intention (and still got many of the edited apks for 2.2) to do a full conversion.... I just never got round to it....
Heres some others i like:

Do be aware that SH resizes all the images, I have always said themes for SH should be device specific.... mine was for the Hero.
Thats as far as i got
I realize this is a double post, so perhaps we can just merge the two. The other is linked in my sig. Thank you moderators
Alright, time to flex those theming muscles.
I'm a gamer, you're most likely a gamer, and with both those conditions being met, it's safe to assume you are acquainted with Valve's masterpiece, the Portal Series. I appreciate and love the comedic and puzzling aspects of both Portal and Portal 2, and am excited to try to get a theme going.
The theme would probably get the biggest support for adw, free or ex. I personally am partial to AOSP ROMs, as are many of the themers/graphics guys.
Here's the running list of things to have:
• Bootanimation/Splash - DONE thanks to JamesC_
• Icons
• Icon dock
• Wallpapers (I think a cool idea would be to have alternative walls for widgetlocker and the homescreen, one with each color portal)
• Themed major widgets (start getting more specific with that later)
• CM Theme Manager or otherwise AOSP theme, including, but not limited to menus, notification bar icons, and a cute something on the notification panel
Possible icon sets:

http://gorganzola1.deviantart.com/art/Portal-Icon-174389446?q=sort:time+gallery:gorganzola1&qo=2
Any more suggestions/pledges/themers willing to aid their time please comment below, and let's try to keep it constructive guys!
Let's start with some Wallpapers:
http://biofall.imgur.com/portal_theme#5eUEr
Wallpapers fail to fit my phone, setting from browser only shows small portion. Setting from gallery lowers queality like crazy.
I was bored today and was looking for portal themes for my nook running cm7.
I will keep an eye on this thread and see If I can find anything to help.
Love the game so far.
I think with the wall papers you have to click the "download full resolution" link in imgur.
Not sure I like these, I would really like to see one with the look of "panels" from the game. I am horrible with graphics. lol. I usually have to rely on the kindness of strangers for icons and whatnot.
Here is a good set of icons:
http://lady-tima.deviantart.com/art/Portal-v1-0-1-75896888?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=8
I know its for the iphone, but it works.
I cant help but be inspired by this post also from Deviant Art
http://wistfulwriter.deviantart.com...e-192617498?q=boost:popular portal icon&qo=14
would love it to look like the Level Boards....
HEre is what ive been working on latley, decent but could be better.
Looking for a battery widget that looks like little bars like on the level boards on each level in portal.

I made an unlock, lock, and shutdown sound i like it! hope you do too.
I too would love to see a portal theme for my Thunderbolt! I am brand new to Android, and am not willing to root my phone, so any help on installing a theme for unrooted devices would be great (I do have Go Launcher as well as Launcher Pro and ADW). OR, any help on creating my own would do just as well. Will keep an eye on this.
I already downloaded the wallpapers and icons, will play with that for a bit. Will also try Simple Text and Minimilistic Text see what I can do.
+1 on this idea. I love the idea of a portal-esque theme for my samsung captivate.. might try to toy around with it myself a bit too.. Will report back once I actually get some progress..
I have been using this setup with a little modification as my lock screen for a while. I think you'll like it as a portal fan.

Thanks!!!
Thanks in advance man cant wait to try it out on my phone
Update: Alive on the android market. Search 'dark metro'. Can't link directly, xda rules. Also available through the Theme Manager app.
Recently started playing with all this theming stuff. I've been making a theme for LauncherPro Plus, even published it on SlideMe app market, but without much succes.. So I'm wondering if I'm theming something wrong. But as I can't expect myself to be objective, I need some feedback, user input, constructive criticism, so I could get better. I'd like to share ideas on this.
So.. a little Metro/WP7-inspired.. cause metro icons are just perfect Ladies & gentlemen, I present you Dark Metro Solid Black.

Now, as I am pedantic about the design, there always has to be (at least there should be) a matching icon pack for every theme, especially in case of LauncherPro, and I found a few that go well with what I created, for instance, here on xda-dev forums, there's this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924446
Really awesome metro icons pack by Weudel, with help from GinoCorleone. You'll get high-res 256x256 png files from it, that although seem like better, they looked kinda weird on my phone, so I experimented and found out that smaller resolution versions, say 60x60, 48x48 actually look better.
It has something to do with android system resizing images. Anyways, to save you the hassle with resizing, you can grab a resized zip from my blog (with permission from the creator, credit goes to Weudel for this)
It's also possible to find the official WP7 icon set on the net, but xda has it's rules, and I can't link to it/post it.
And btw, speaking of metro icons, some people might find it useful - try googling MetroStation by yankoa. Black, blue, white. Huge. You'll love it.
Again, no linking, sorry people.
Speaking of wallpaper, bright, warm colors suit this theme the best. I particulary like sportscars, so picking the one you see on screenshots was a no-brainer to me.. if you like it too, pm me.
I posted some stuff more and hints on this theme back on my blog, like a matching Minimalistic Text widget settings. If you really like it, feel free to drop by.
Aaaah, one more IMPORTANT thing - there's some weird bug when browsing black icons in gallery 3d and quickpic (two gallery apps I'm using, don't know about other cases), but don't go ka-boom just yet.. Dirty fix that goes for all black/dark icons - just pick the ones you'd like to have in your dock, name them like 1.png, 2.png, 3.png etc, the open the right folder in your gallery app, and they will be 1,2,3 in the first row, 4,5,6 in the second, and so on in the lower rows from the top. Just pick blindly by number, you'll get the ones you want.
Also, if you have some questions, like for instance newbie questions (how do I setup this or that), just PM/mail me. I mean, I'm new to this myself.. heh.
Reserved for world domination purposes/maybe an additional setup guide to keep it clean from post #1.
This looks great. Very nice work.
Very nice!
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
Just a quick update - it's alive on the market now! I managed to pull this off with a little help from a friend in the US.
Just search 'dark metro launcher pro' or simply 'dark metro'. Enjoy!
Also, I'm toying with some stand-alone widgets to match the theme. And probably a custom widget locker skin would be a good idea. But for now, studies take most of my time. At least for a week.
Nice man! It looks nice and clean.
Thanks. Nice and clean is exactly what I aimed.
Minimalistic is jazzy. It's a trend, a fashion. A design philosophy, a very appealing one.
But on the other hand, desktop has to be productive. I had a minimalistic rainmeter win7 desktop, and I loved it, but when it came to the development of this theme, I just turned it off and went for the icon/folder cluttered simple desktop. Cause it's faster, more productive, when you have all them crappy folders on your desktop instead of jumping from one location to another to search stuff on your hdd.
So one has to balance. Be minimalistic, but productive. But minimalistic!
So I chose LauncherPro as a base, because it's very productive with it's widgets, everything one needs right there on the desktop. Twitter, facebook, bookmarks, calendar, agenda, you name it. Well-thought.
Just a little metro love (round icons, whoooh).. Some dark shades.. and ka-boom.
Nice! It looks so nice!!
Hey everyone I have just released my second game to the windows phone marketplace.
It is a blockworld RPG game (like infinminer and minecraft) where you can move around an infinite world and build anything from castles to cameras and trapdoors.
It has many unique features such as its dynamic book system and scripting console as well as many other things like cameras, trapdoors, paintings, complex crafting and much more.
It also gets updated every single week with new features based on what the community wants.
Best of all it is free to play!
Please give it a try and let me know what you think I could add.

Glad you like it
Purchased the paid version, but I do prefer Survivalcraft. I must say that I'm impressed you've gotten the game to run so smoothly on first gen hardware, and you've created a much nicer looking UI.
One huge annoyance: Why do blocks "sustain" damage? It's pretty lame to walk around with half-broken blocks everywhere, and I feel the need to mine and replace any blocks I accidentally touch.

Actually this was a design choice and quite hard to impliment right.
First of all it is a major difference between our game and others, but the main reason that we did it was to pave a way for the future where enemys and magic can damage multiple blocks at a time and bit by bit.
In other blockworld games enemys bust destroy 1+ blocks per hit because blocks have no damage system. In CraftWorld this is different, we can have creatures and magic and explosives actually damage multiple blocks with partial damages which can make for very interesting things.
You can always craft a rake and heal the damaged blocks
Let me know if you have any other feedback.
game looks very promising, will try this out as soon as i get time.
Hi there,
I hope you don't mind but here are some comments on your game, don't let them take away from the fact that it's think its pretty great.
Firstly the controls aren't very fluid, that would be a nice thing to see. It seems you only have 4 modes of direction when looking around while moving instead of everywhere.
Secondly it would be nice to have the grass a darker colour.
Thanks for the app, I got the paid version which I think/hope was a donation to you.
Aaron
We are putting out new versions every week, improved controls and many other things are coming soon.
We have some major new features in the next few weeks, also planned in the future is the ability to let you make and share texture packs so you guys can have different looking worlds etc...
So, I'm new to this kind of game and I have to say that I'm at a complete loss on one thing...
To make a workbench, I need 4x wood in 2x2 crafting. So, I get 4 block of wood and it shows on my tool belt as wood x4, right? I can open up 2x2 crafting and drag/drop that item in and the only results I get are 8x wood planks... no option for workbench. But... if I get a block of wood, move it out of my tool belt, get another block and move it out as before, etc... to the tune of having 4 individual slots filled with wood blocks of at least 1 qty, I can then make the workbench.
This seems remarkably counter productive. Am I missing a somewhat less than obvious thing here?
OK, after typing this up, I decided to just goof around with the possibility of touch options. I figured out that if I long press the group I can tap with my other finger as many times as the qty I want to drag/drop. I cannot find this in the blue book and it seems a rather important little bit of info.
I have added this into the (blue) survial book for the next patch, thanks for letting me know.
Have you any other ideas or anything else you want to ask about?
Hey guys. I wanted to share with you my first attempt at anything development related.
My first icon pack: Painted Sphere

I was hoping to get some insight from everyone about some issues I'm having with it, and how I can improve it.
I released this pack about 2 weeks ago, everything was going well, but lately I've been seeing a lot of canceled orders (40-50%). I'm not sure what the issue is because no one is leaving feedback or ratings. I don't know if people simply don't like it, or if its something technical. Let me know what you think and what improvements I can make. I must warn you though I'm very new to theming and development, so you may need to speak slowly...
Another thing that I have noticed is that apparently if I look at the pack through the google store it says it's incompatible with my device (nexus 4). I have no idea what the issue is, I have read some things about the possibility that it could be due to the size, but I'm not sure.
Could you please check it out on the Store and let me know if it works for your device.
Thanks a ton for any help, and enjoy the pack!

Aweosme! let me know what you think.
Ok, I've downloaded and installed it. I like the styling but I can immediately see some things that maybe not satisfactory to some.
First, your icon pack, at least the downloaded package from Google Drive, doesn't have icon on its own.
Second, you still missed a lot of app icons. Some icon packs somehow able to style icons that not in the packs into their style. Means square them or make them appear circle. But your icon Pack doesn't do that. Makes overall looks and feels inconsistent.
That's my input. Keep on developing ☺

This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to hear, thank you.
I'm now working on upgrading my pack to using Blaze's pack with the apply theme, change wallpaper, and request app all implemented. I think that should help draw people in. I'm a bit confused as to how I missed a lot of app icons, but I've heard a bit of feedback from people, and they are requesting apps I've already done... I've tested the apps on my phone and they all seem to work, which means that people are running different versions of the app, and my icons aren't applying.
This means that I need to get a better ComponentInfo, which I'm a little confused about, because unless people buy the icon pack then request the app that is missing I won't be able to get their version. Does anyone know a better way?
Finally, I don't think I'l be able to style remaining apps into the same shape as my icons. Unfortunately I didn't use an iconbase/iconmask and some of my icons break their circular look. Do you think it would be worth going back and fixing those icons to be circular for the sake of constancy throughout?
Thanks again!

I can't say for others but for me consistency is really important. I can't stand looking at my home screen where one or two icons mismatch with the rest of icons. I don't understand the technicality of icon Pack design but I hope from this problem you can better plan of your icon Pack creation in the future. Cheers ☺
Hey nice work dude,but on which launcher is it [email protected]
