Sounds good, unless I hear an overwhelming response for the regular screen, I will have this up soon. For now, I will be uploading a black-bar version of the lockscreen that will work with this theme (Flash the lockscreen then the theme).
Here is a black-bar version of the lockscreen, but has not been tested. If anyone wants to give it a shot (everything should work fine, at worst case the colors will not be quite right) and report back I would appreciate it.

Hello! Firstly I would like to say great theme! But I have been experiencing problems with Metamorph.
After downloading Version 2.1.1, I opened Metamorph, and did the pick theme, and found the file and metamorph was in the process of unzipping when it said that the theme control file could not be read may be missing. I tired downloading 2.1.1 again and replaced the file but that didn't seem to work..Maybe I am making a noob mistake, as I'm not that familiar with Metamorph.

It has to do with certain download managers changing my file name. I will upload a fixed version.
New version is uploaded, theme control issues are fixed, and will not be a problem again.

This is what I mean:
Transparent Market 2.3.4
Adb push to /system/app/Vending.apk
Make sure you delete the com.android.vending-1.apk in /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk
You can also flash this if you put it in a flashable zip compatable with your clockwork; just take a zip folder you previously downloaded and delete the app or apps that are in the app folder of the zip and copy the Vending. apk to it and flash.
Here's a link to a buddy o' mine's thread, that has Black transparent facebook, gingerbread keyboards, and such.
The name's Fernando, all his stuff is compatable with the epic you just can't use his flash script, but you can have your own made, or do like I say in post #13
[UPDATE 3/5/11) 2.3.4.1transparent Gmail markets_transparent facebook_ more

Works for the ACS Full or Standard Rom. Download and copy the file to the zip folder under /system/app. Copy to SDcard and install, will replace the apk already in the rom.

Less Transparent, Inverted Gmail.apk
Hey Deciple -- I've been using a slightly less transparent version of the new Gmail and wanted to share. It makes visibility a little bit easier in the mail screen:
Installation is the same as above: goes in system/app/Gmail.apk
I'm pretty sure the opaqueness (or opacity) in this apk is controlled by a transparentish png.
But here's some screencaps of the Gmail apk you posted versus this more opaque version (on my setup).
Credit goes to the folks at Inversion Conversion on Droidforums, not me.
I think we should have a Transparent/Inverted apps section too, cuz they look soo much better than the stock.
Is there any way to do this with root explorer? Or any chance someone could put these in a zip or a little more instruction of what the op was talking about...adding to a previously flashed zip? Sorry to be such a noob, but I deleted both and can't figure out how to get them back

Ya - you can do it with Root Explorer.
With the Gmail.apk: download it, save to sdcard.
Open Root Explorer, navigate to sdcard
Long-click Gmail.apk, Copy.
back out to root folder, go to system, then app
(this is what I do.. just to create a backup)
Find existing Gmail.apk, rename to Gmail.bak
Paste the new Gmail.apk in that folder.
Find it, Long click, select Permissions
Under "Read" Check all 3, under "Write", Check ONLY user, under "Execute" uncheck all of them.
4 boxes checked, total. So it reads: rw-r--r--
Then exit, reboot if you want, and you should be set.

Once all is running fine, you can move that Gmail.bak over somewhere to your sdcard to reduce space taken up in your /system/app folder.

Hey yeah that looks good man, I personally like the clear glass look, and I use a dark wallpaper too so I have no problem seeing my messages, however you do propose a valid suggestion and I agree that we should have a transparent /Inverted thread.

Ok.........What you do is , If you ever downloaded a flashable zip, that has a market in it or any other app for that matter,that you know is compatable with your version of clockwork, then you open it up with 7zip, then you should see a folder called meta-inf and system. Open the system folder and there should be another folder in there called app. Open that one and delete whatever's in there (after you've presumably copied and saved the entire zip If you want to keep what's inside)and replace it with the app or app's you want to flash.
Awesome Market...... But i have 3 small issues LOL If i knew how to fix them i so would. So i hope you can help :-D

1. +1 I have no green in anything on my phone, white would be great.
2. -1 this is cool its to show you that there is more in the description, fade effect.
3. -1 I think the comment area when you more should be white BG so its easier to read and rarely used.
@Deciple I was wondering if You could make a gmail version same as you have it (Transparent) but make the text another color than green (not a fan of green), Maybe White main text and blue "from" text, just like in the stock Samsung email app.
Managed it problem solved

Same Problem here!

Hey guys! Someone recently posted that they wanted to start to making their own themes and I posted a very long reply and figured, might as well post a "somewhat easy to understand" tutorial here for everyone.
So you want to make your own themes?
First off, it is important to know that if you plan on porting any themes over and releasing it to the masses, that you get permission from the theme owner first!!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE EXPLODES OR MELTS! lol
NOTE: IF YOU'RE A NOOB (you know if you are) DO NOT MESS WITH ANY IMAGE THAT ENDS IN ".9" UNTIL YOU READ UP ON THEM.......A LOT! IF YOU'RE JUST REPLACING AN IMAGE, THEN READ ON.
What you will need:
Apkmanager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
An empty flashable zip: http://www.multiupload.com/DBEMBUOCND
Lot's of time on your hands!
GETTING STARTED:
Apkmanager is going to be your "all-in-one" tool for making a theme in Windows.
(I'll go into all the options of apkmanager a little later)
The process you need to follow is actually kind of simple. It's just very time consuming.
First you will need to make the images that you want (unless you are porting a theme).
Now what you need to do is one way or another, get the framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk from your phone, you also need the RES_cappuccino.apk (found in /system/framework. (If you don't want to mess with using adb, use Root Explorer, just copy the apk then paste on your sdcard, then copy and paste from your sdcard onto your pc.)
Extract apkmanager to somewhere easy like the desktop and you should end up with a folder named "apkmanager" or whatever.
Inside that folder, you should have the following folders:
Other
place-apk-here-for-modding
place-apk-here-for-signing
place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize
place-ogg-here
projects
Then the following files:
log
Script
DO NOT MODIFY THE NAMES OF ANY OF THESE FILES OR FOLDERS OR NOTHING WILL WORK!
Take the 3 files that you got from your phone and place them in the "place apk here for modding" folder.
Double click to open the "Script" file
Press "22" and hit enter to set your current job
Select either 1,2 or 3 for whichever apk you want to start on first and hit enter
Select "1" to extract. You do not need to decompile unless you are editing XML files.
Once the extraction is done, go inside the "projects" folder and now you have a folder inside there with whatever the name is of the apk you just extracted.
Inside that folder are the images and XML files you need to replace (you might not have to edit any of the XML files, that's a little more advanced unless you already know how to.)
Most of the images you will need to edit will be in the following folders of each apk:
res>drawable
res>drawable-hdpi
Once you get everything done and you're ready to test it out, you need to go back to that "Script" file in apkmanager and open it back up. Now you're going to do pretty much the same stuff you did when you were extracting the apk, in order to rezip the apk.
In the Script for apkmanager, you're going to press "22" and hit enter, then select which file you want to compile first by either pressing 1, 2 or 3.
Select the file and hit enter, then press "3" and press enter
Now press "1" so that apkmanager knows it's a system file and will retain the files signature.
As long as you didn't mess anything up during the process of changing stuff, you shouldn't receive any errors. If you do, you need to figure out what it was you messed up on and fix it.
Go through and rezip all the apks that you edited. Once that is done, you will go to your "place apk here for modding" folder again and you will notice that you have 3 new files in there:
unsignedframework-res.apk
unsignedSystemUI.apk
unsignedRES_cappuccino.apk
Remember that empty flashable zip you downloaded earlier? Now you need it.
Right click on the flashable zip and mouse over "7zip" and click on "Open Archive"
Take the unsignedSystemUI.apk and place it in the "app" folder. Now rename that to its original name:
SystemUI.apk
Now take that unsignedframework-res.apk and unsignedRES_cappuccino.apk and place them in the "framework" folder of the flashable zip. Rename those to:
framework-res.apk
RES_cappuccino.apk
Now you can close out of the flashable zip file and place it on your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik.
Now go back and flash the zip file you just put on your sdcard.
Since you wiped your cache and your dalvik, the reboot will take a little while. You should now be good to go!
NOTE: Since I did not create apkmanager, I will not be able to answer many questions about it but feel free to ask. If I don't have an answer for you, Just go back to the post above where you downloaded it, and post your question there.
Please enjoy and happy themeing!!!!!!
And to add. There is also another great way for beginners to start making themes. It's very simple, all you do is select the changes you want made, then upload the framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk and it does all the work for you!!!! Even puts everything into a flashable zip! All you have to do is download the zip file then flash it! Here's the link to the UOT Theme Kitchen:
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Also, thanks to drt054 for pointing out that Apkmanager is being improved on and the name is changing to APK Multi-Tool. If you use this tool instead, I will not be able to help with any troubleshooting because I just recently started using it. You can download it here:
APK Multi-Tool: http://apkmultitool.com/
Great post!
Don't forget, UOT can be a great starting point for inspiration also, at least give a little jump start.
Also, the hardest part is also getting your paths set up for apk manager to read adb. Just Google it and the answers are easy to find!

Indy's comment to your post was exactly true. It really doesn't take that long once you get the hang of it. Making your own images is what takes longer than anything in my opinion. Even if it takes you a long time to push a theme out, just remember that "it's about quality, not quantity." As long as you put out an awesome looking theme, most people won't care how long it took or how long it takes to push out updates. It definitely wouldn't take long if you use the UOT Theme Kitchen. The link for that can be found at the bottom of my first post.

Hey Spc i have a question, how do you make your own images and such? do you have to use something like Photoshop or gimp or some other program? Been playing around with the uot kitchen and its really a great program, but eventually i'd like to do more custom made stuff too.
Thanks!

Apk Multi-Tool is better in that I can recompile SystemUI.apk and RES_Cappuccino.apk as long as I don't make any changes but if I do it gives errors that is some progress..

I was just messin around cuz you said APK Multi-Tool was better than apkmanager. I haven't used APK Multi-Tool yet though.
Ah.. It has more features and auto-updates just doesn't work for me

Might have figured out the issues with recompiling SystemUI and RES_Cappuccino they have to be decompiled with dependancies.. dragging frameworkres-apk into the command window and made changes and recompiled without errors. That is a first. If someone knew this and didn't tell me I will hurt somebody!!! Won't be able to test for a while..
Although you don't HAVE to do it, it's suggested that you do that with apkmanager too lol. Sorry!!!

Hello there!
Just wanted to share my framework-res.apk with a cool blue background for the pull down notification menu, and the ICS style for the batter icon.
I really like Zeus appearence, it was just the battery icon and the black background for the notification menu that I didnt like so much.
Here's how it looks:
Working on ZEUS 6.33o with both kernels (should work also on all 6.xx, since it has the same framework-res)
Also working on 6.34.
How to install it:
First, do a NANDROID BACKUP.
Download, wipe cache and dalvik cache, and flash this (HUGE thanks to Koila33 for making the flashable zip!)
Background + Battery Icon: http://www.mediafire.com/?uln8az3f7ywplj3
Only battery icon: http://www.mediafire.com/?bi4fgdpbfdaakjx
Only notification background: http://www.mediafire.com/?2s89e4wa2v540ul
OR by pushing the apk this way:
You need the android SDK with the platform-tools for this.
1.- Download my framework-res.apk.
2.- Plug in the phone to the laptop with which you downloaded the apk.
3.- Open up "cmd" and navigate to "platform-tools", its inside C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk.
4.- Do this command: adb push "apk file path" /system/framework
(example: adb push C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\framework-res.apk /system/framework
5.- Reboot the phone
And thats it !
(could anyone tell me if this would work also on the N version of Zeus?
If it doesnt, I could modify its framework-res.apk to also match this modification, if someone posted it here)
Looks neat , will try after someone helps making it into a zip for cwm

= profit
I often replace it with old framwwork-res.apk and everything is ok
xD
Cool - thanks for that!
Waiting for the flashable zip and will use it
Flashable zip available already ^^
Check the mediafire link !
Thanks,
but it doesn't work for me :crying:
Aw hell, Ill look into it once I get home.
Sorry, did anyone else try it? Its just the first time I make a flashable zip, and I made it thru that program posted on 2nd post.
I haven't try it yet, but it looks like it's missing some directories, i would also advice to rename the file to avoid having two dots in the filename
It would be nice to have only the ICS battery icon ) Can you do a flash only for this icon please?
Post updated!
New version with only battery icon released.
Hope this time Ive got the flashable zip fixed. All reports are welcome =)
Thank you for trying to fix it, but still doesn't work :crying:
