frankly: this sucks big time. the theme section is so crowded with themes for all the dream and magic and cyanogen mods, our few hero themes disappear. looking into the theme thread i can only find one(!) theme for the hero on the first page. also the titles are not always indicating clearly for what device/rom the themes were made.
seriously guys, at least give us a subforum for hero themes. i didn't see the problem with posting them here (in the thread called "themes and apps"), are you really expecting me to go through hundreds of themes for the dream, to find the hero themes? come on...
Agree, sucks....
Whats wrong with having the themes for the hero in the thread entitled "HERO Themes and Applications"
It needs to have every post title changed to show what device/ROM its for before its usable.
I agree too, even with edited titles, it's still going to be messy and we'll end up missing most of the themes for Hero as they will just get lost in the flood of G1 themes
I have to agree as-well, the hero themes does not work with any other phone anyway
This sucks...
Yes, it sucks!
I did my first Themes and now nobody can find it.
Have to agree lumping all the themes from different devices together is a big mistake.
I would suggest, that either:
- The themes be left here on the "HTC Hero Themes and Applications";
- Or, that subforums for the phone models be made on the "Android Themes" section.
Agreed, this is a horrible way to compile everything. Only reason I am even posting this is so the mod team can see they made a mistake by the number of people posting about it.
Agreed.
The Hero and G1 themes should be separate.
The G1 has been out a lot longer and it floods the forum (I should know I had one! )
Seriously mods, please rethink your strategy.
Its bad, and its not fair seeing upcoming themes for other devices too lol
While I understand your frustation here, the point is that there is no point in keeping the themes in seperate places.
Almost every theme will run on any rooted phone. Therefore they are being meshed together. Now, Like I've said, Your theme devs, will need to label their posts accordingly so you can sort through them quickly.
For instance, a hero theme would look like this:
[Hero Theme] *title of theme here*
Its a simple thing to do.
This is a benefit to the entire community to do this. Which is why its been done.

Every theme runs on every rooted phone??
I can't believe!
No way!
When it is so, I say sorry, but I can't really believe.
we have SenseUI here.

so you are saying that my rooted hero will run any theme made for g1?
but i downloaded themes for dream, sapphire and found out that maximum image names are different. so how will hero run those themes?
then why we make themes for different devices then? why did u guys make seperate theme sections in the 1st place?
Yes every theme will run on a rooted phone PROVIDED you have the apropriate rom loaded for the specific theme on your Rooted phone....

yeah really funny since we got... wait let me recount... exactly one custom rom for the hero (yes i know there are others, but not really worth to mention).
well i guess we just have to eat the **** they are throwing at us, they are the mods...
Than I don't want to publish my themes here anymore!
It makes now sence, because no one can find them.
for a few days there were many themes at once and every Hero user in this section was happy to use them.
Now....
Sorry, I can see threads and postings from many users, who are not embraced about this changes.
but when the admins and mods are that mind it is better, then we, the themes maker must agree with that.
Admins, mods:
Take it seriously! Everybody thinks, this changes are not good!
carry out soundings of public opinion
Guys lets not give up just yet! I always found xda developers willing to listen to the people in the past after all its THE PEOPLE that make a great forum.
Also try and post comments here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591137 in one place where our Dream users brothers can also post
Even though I don't like using themes, I cannot see the sense in moving Hero themes to the generic Android themes section. The sub-forum is STILL called 'Hero Themes and Applications' - how ridiculous!

So its not true that all themes run on all phones. Your phone has to be rooted, AND it has to have the appropriate ROM loaded for that specific theme.
Goodness. That's kinda a lot to look for in a theme.
i know a theme is hard to make but why is there so many plain themes being made these days

Make your own theme: *MOD EDIT* We aren't here to promote other sites.
Edit: PM me if you want to know how to make your own theme and you cant find the info
Lets not promote other sites guys, especially when the appropriate content is already on XDA. I understand referring someone elsewhere when the content is not available on XDA, but when it is available on XDA we need to be referencing that content unless its outdated and not viable any longer.

well then...opasha's theme isnt on xda......
@ OP, if you want to see opasha's theme, its located here: http://androidoverdrive.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=72
lol
If I knew how to make them this thread wouldn't exist is it just me or are most of these themes made are meant for the adp phone just seems that most of the themes out there are made for the dark g1's.The only themes in my opinion for the white g1 is the alienaqua theme from prash an the plastic theme
Yeah, I have also seen themers come and go. We should encourage them(*cough* donation *cough*). And plus if you already like the theme try to make it better by posting your comment on the theme. Critize the theme. The more ideas you give the better it is for that themer and for that theme. You should check out my thread on final fantasy 7 on xda and on my site mk47.weebly.com for previews to my theme. My site also starting to have font for any rom and theme from my thread. Just check it out and post ideas on other themers thread.
A lot of the themes are terrible. Enoch has the best theme. The rest are ugly, cluttered, or immature.
We are just now starting to see decent minimal themes
i really want to see more unique themes. off the wall ****. and PROFESSIONAL looking artwork done on them. tired of all these amateur themes with terrible photoshop work. but thats my opinion. i love a lot of them at the same time =]

You should help out in the theme making process( not trying to put on a stop). Help with finding a template if you have a great idea tell us themers or post a request. Try to find good artwork and we themers will try to work on it. Like for example systemforce was orginally another artist work but prash liked the idea and used it. Now look at it people were going crazy over that theme ( like I did). I'll see what I could do to hellp you guys out. I am too looking for a cool theme. A user wants me to make systemforce to blue and white. I thought about it and I am starting to customize the theme.

video
I wish someone can make a video on youtube on how to do this I would have no problem making themes I enjoy the features that most of them give.Plus I understand how people feel an the themers feel.I think that most of these themes are just clones of one another with things switched around but @ the end of the day they do this for us.
I can understand not making as many themes right now because CM is releasing new builds all the time,but I sure wish more people would release themes for dwang 1.13,this rom is amazingly fast and stable.

i would make themes for that rom, but i don't like it because i can't adb push my apps to the /system/sd/app the way i can on cyanongen's rom. this is because i wipe my data and my ext before switching from cyan's to dwang's and that's the problem i ran into. i could push them to /data/app but that is on internal memory and that's bad. if someone could PM me on how to fix this issue, i'd gladly switch over to that rom and makes themes for it .

To add to that, try Metamorph. It lets you theme your phone with bits and pieces you would like.....especially if you like white themes. More and more themers are adding their bits so soon we will be able to make our own themes without the knowledge of how to produce them!
nevermind fixed my ext to have the push work . ill try and port themes to dwang soon.
i ve searched and did not find anything that makes sense.
usually for a board this big theres few stickies for everything.
am i looking in a wrong part of the forum?
i want to make my own theme for touch pro 2 and i did not find any usefullinfo in rhodium or winmo themes sections.
can someone give me a link if theres in fact a topic covering it?
I have not any link, but for me the best way to create a theme is downloading one made for other people and then editing these files and changing them to my own files.
Of course you will need some tools like a cab manager software like Wince to see wich files are in every cab you downloaded.
so theres no theme creator for windows mobile?

is there reason why this never be public? (except getting hateful responses)
i dont use wad & dont like this theme anyway but still curious whats the idea to post this if you dont share...
well, don't sharing this is not a shame imo, but I am also wondering why you bother to make a new thread on XDA without any attention to share. How many things are you using on your phone what is shared by other people who are putting time and effort in their projects? Is that not one of the great things of this community?
I really am missing the point of your post...
Cheers,
Arnold
forget to say that is based on a skin called concept modern and do not think it public because the share could be errors or failures (no yet) and would have no time to repair for use on another pda
I have a tm.wing

I have many ideas but in WAD is difficult

I have more ideas... but no time..
I think the theme is getting far away WM7, now..
sorry for my bad english.. google-english XD...
there is no images fake, are real
It really doesn't look like Windows Phone 7. At least, doesn't look like what was shown on MWC, but maybe skin author was inspired by some version a bit closer to final, which looked like that.

hey guys...
i got a simple but somehow unusual question and i didn't know where to put it... so i thought off topic isn't the worst idea...
i little background: the first smart device i was able to afford, was an ipod touch 2nd gen... it was cool and it was cheap... but didn't have any mobile phone funktions... anyway... it was cool... but i had to jailbreak it... because i can... xD after a short time i found a very cool icon theme for ios... called glasklart... https://www.glasklarthd.dreamnet.at/about
https://github.com/glasklart/hd
then i wanted to have a smartPHONE... but i didn't have 800€... and i also didn't like the golden jail... so i bought an android... and after some time i wanted to have a different icon theme... so i was searching for glasklart for android and found an app...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.go.launcherex.theme.kxnt.glasklart
not all apps i used had an icon, but it was ok... after some time i sent the dev an email and asked if he would add icons i would send him... i got neither photoshop nor any photoshop skills... but i can do a few things with gimp, so i though i might be able to do some basic icons, or maybe find someone who might help... idk...
but i never got an answer... i sent a 2nd mail months or a year later... but still no reply...
so now we come to the question i have:
am i the only one thinking that glasklart is the most beautiful, straight forward icon pack... and loooks soo nice on amoled screens? or is here maybe someone else, maybe with photoshop/gimp skills, who might be willing to help me creating some missed icons?
i don't know much about the license... but since the icons + templates are hosted at github i guess it must be open source... but i don't know if it is ok, to use the icons out of the android app, because there is at least a base for android...
TL;DR : make glasklart great again... \o/
