=============== Beginner's introduction to must-see: theme making tutorials, online help documentation ========================
Update to the MIUI 1.6. version 3
MIUI continually updated since after a few months, we appreciate the people in the area of UI preferences vary. The other hand, limited to human resource development group of tension, MIUI not do perfect every aspect of the UI in a short time. Therefore, in accordance with the concept of MIUI when you initially set up, let everybody participate in better play ROM, we decided to launch the real topic of custom functionality. Our ultimate goal is to have small white and up can play out their wonderful! Next, I will play easy-to-digest to introduce custom themes, see we can play to Jiji.
Level 1: what is the MIUI custom theme
First, the UI is made up of many parts of our phone, lock screen, the notification bar, desktop, wallpaper, icons, and so on. If we put the phone to a House, imagine such parts can House of doors, Windows, flooring, chandeliers, seats, etc. Then we can think the Android system native is a stock room, MIUI a Lite is on top of this, custom themes are your own to do the decoration of the House.
MIUI provides custom functionality, in fact, the equivalent of an engineering team help you, you can use from many decorating scheme (theme), select your favorite effect, and finally to the engineering team to implement. Decoration options can vary, to whole House renovated, small enough only for a lamp. MIUI now comes with two themes package, people can also design your own package, you can borrow up to people to share out the design.

}
Level 3: manage theme pack
At present, in order to save ROM built-in storage space, theme packages on the storage card. So when the phone is not a storage card or USB flash drive mode, is unable to match the new theme.
View the theme package
In the list, we can directly see the theme package name, author, date, and the thumbnails. Click on a topic, sliding around in the pop-up interface, you can see the theme pack more effects preview. With this information, we can effect after the initial judge added that the theme package.
Added new theme package
There are two ways you can optional package is added to the new topic list.
Method 1: download, or copy the theme package anywhere on your phone from computer, and then enter the subject interface, click on the menu (menu), select "import from SD card theme package", a popup file browsing interface found in the topic of the package and select.
Method 2: theme packs directly to the/sdcard/MIUI/theme directory, by method 1 Add theme packs last will be moved to that directory.
Delete the theme package
Similar to the add theme packages, the same method to remove the theme pack is simple and advanced.
Method 1: enter the subject interface, click on the topics you want to delete a package, enter the detail page, point the delete button.
Method 2: use the file browser, to the/sdcard/MIUI/theme directory, delete the theme package files directly.
Note: the theme comes with the system package does not support delete!
Level 4: making a simple theme package
(The content has been updated to MIUI 1.7.8 above)
First theme package is in fact a zip package file, named by MTZ, as when suffix, which contains a description of the topic, preview pictures and various resources, and is organized according to a certain directory structure,
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7822804/MIUI%20Theme%20Tutorial/Round_Icons.mtz
New theme pack format
As MIUI theme to replace the resource more and more, theme pack contains hundreds of resource files are also increasingly common; application in order to speed up the theme of speed, optimize the user experience theme management program from 1.7. version 8 theme packages to support new formats, at the same time compatible with the old format theme pack (tentative compatible one month time).
Theme packs new format conventions are as follows:
Themes under the package root directory, allowing only the files or to wallpaper, and fonts, and boots, and ringtones, and preview names subdirectory exists
For example:
In the old format theme pack, the icons are placed in the icons directory, now topic icons in the package directory is not allowed, therefore, simply enter the icons directory, all resources will be packaged into a compressed file and rename the icons
For your convenience packaging, annex provides automatic Packer named MIUIThemeCompress.jar, run this program requires Java runtime environment; in Windows, double-click run directly or right keys to select => "open with" => "Java (TM) platform SE Binary" opens under Linux, by command line "java-jar MIUIThemeCompress.jar" to run. Warmly welcome both metres, making ease and better packaging tools, to facilitate theme making.
On the Java runtime environment installed, please come here .
Discussion on the new format, please come here .
MIUI File
Description file
Describes a description.XML file named, reference to fill in the following format. If the title is empty, the theme will interface with the theme pack file name instead. If the version is null, theme file modification time instead of the interface will use the theme package. Green for content can be replaced.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Preview effect diagram
Previews are placed in the theme pack Preview directory Xia, in Preview supports up to 10 preview map. Package effect in order to facilitate real-world embodiment topic, theme for all was cited by the official package, we have the uniform preview and, in order to fully express the theme pack contains, require producers to provide a preview image as the cover of the theme; the cover theme thumbnails displayed in the list manager program.
Preview theme Pack module naming convention is as follows:
Custom cover page preview for preview_cover_0.jpg, only one;
Style preview system for preview_0.jpg,preview_1.jpg, ... Start and so on;
Desktop preview of preview_launcher_0.jpg, preview_launcher_1.jpg, ... Start and so on;
SMS preview is in the style of preview_mms_0.jpg,preview_mms_1.jpg, ... Start and so on;
Style preview icons for preview_icons_0.jpg,preview_icons_1.jpg, ... Start and so on;
Power on the preview of the animation to preview_animation_0.jpg,preview_icons_1.jpg, ... Start and so on;
Preview of the font style for preview_fonts_0.jpg,preview_fonts_1.jpg, ... Start and so on;
Lock screen preview of a style as preview_lockscreen_0.jpg, preview_lockscreen_1.jpg, ... Start and so on;
Preview the notification bar for preview_statusbar_0.jpg, preview_statusbar_1.jpg, ... Start and so on;
Replace wallpaper (including desktop wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper)
Lock screen wallpaper and desktop wallpapers in the theme pack wallpaper directory under:
Default_wallpaper.jpg: desktop wallpapers
Default_lock_wallpaper.jpg: lock screen wallpaper
Default_lock_wallpaper_800.jpg: height of 800-pixel lock screen wallpaper
Note: the package contains default_lock_wallpaper.jpg and default_lock_wallpaper_800.jpg only in topics automatically when the screen is 800 pixels in height.
Replace the program icon (including non-systematic programs of icon)
All for replacing native icon resources are placed in the theme pack icons package , you can use the system's own mellow icon theme package as a template, file name stays the same premise, replace the corresponding picture content. The picture of the desktop folder resources can also be enclosed in this package.
How to name an icon File
After the new program, look of icons to the desktop to view the program. And then use the file browser with image preview function to the/data/system/customized_icons_1 directory to find the icon, its file name is the answer we are looking for.
Replace the system font
Ready font file in the theme package fonts directory Xia, and name as follows. Use theme changing fonts, OTA upgrades will not be affected. If you want to use a font file and replace the English, they named Arial.ttf.
Default font: DroidSans.ttf
English-language digital: Arial.ttf
Chinese fonts: DroidSansFallback.ttf
Replace power effects
Ready to power the animation or turn on the music on the theme package boots directory Xia, and name as follows.
Power on the animation: bootanimation.zip
Power on the music: bootaudio.MP3
Replace ringtones
Ringtones on the theme package ready ringtones directory Xia, and name as follows.
Ringing tone: ringtone.MP3
Notification ringtones: notification.MP3
Alarm clock rings: alarm.MP3
Replace the power icon
Current power status bar icon is determined by three files in the theme package, like making principle of three files, there are no dependencies, you can replace independent
Graphic icons: com.Android.systemui/RES/raw/stat_sys_battery.PNG
Digital icon: com.Android.systemui/RES/raw/stat_sys_battery_number.PNG
Charging icon: com.Android.systemui/RES/raw/stat_sys_battery_charge.PNG
Contents of these three files are made up of large rectangular n*m a small icon, each small icon size is 38x38. These small icons from top to bottom, from left to right from the 1% of electricity or charge every frame of the animation.
For example, if the contents of the file 2*5 is a small icon, the layout is as follows,
ABCDE
FGHIJ
If used as a graphic or digital icons, each icon indicates that the power to:
A: 1%~10%
B: 11%~20%
C: 21%~30%
D: 31%~40%
E: 41%~50%
F: 51%~60%
G: 61%~70%

[*]in accordance with the first step to find the tutorial, make 9-patch icon
[*]compile 9-patch pictures. Compile method a little bit biased technology, we can try this tool xUltimate Draw9Patch Compiler ( http://www.droidforums.net/forum ... EASE-xultimate.html ).Usage is quite simple, put your pictures in a directory (you can directly use it's own example directory), and then run the tool, it generates compiled a picture, the file name will not change, but you will see the black edges of your picture is removed (has actually saved to a special data area within the PNG).
[*]compiled your pictures into topics as normal picture pack.

Hi man, I have some questions:
some of my theme are not applied. I use the .jar you provided but everything is not themed.
For instance, inside framework-res.
I had a framework-res folder with res/drawable-hdpi folder and inside it, btn_check_on_pressed.png.
But this png is never applied ... do you know why?
Thanks

Not sure, I would have to check on Monday if the name hasn't changed. I haven't had any issues yet.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I'm a Nexus S and french user. If I install the english version of the ROM, my theme is working fine...but if I take the french version ... it doesn't work ...
Any ideas?
edit: the problem seems to come from a bad translation inside the french pack .
Sorry
I have a question, I'm trying to modify the font color of a input box, I know the xml file that modifies this is in framework-res but I'm having a heck of a time finding out which actual line it is.
Anyone have a idea? It's the input box like when you type a sms message and you are typing the text what it shows either in the subject or the "to" box

Roosticity icon set 20.10.2010
Almost 300 sharp vector icons to suit .sencity theme
Have you seen the superb new .sencity theme by _LeCiel_? It's clean, simple and STUNNING!
But some bits are not quite finished yet and like many of you who have tried it and are hooked on the look, I am impatient and want more- and want it NOW! My old program icons looked like a dogs breakfast sitting next to the slick .sencity design and it was already driving me nuts - and LeCiel had only released the theme the week before!
So I got all fired up and put this icon pack together and now my phone looks almost all .sencity. I now walk taller, my teeth are much whiter and now a single look from me makes the ladies go weak at the knees....
So this is the Roosticity Icon set – I hope you enjoy them!
LATEST UPDATE:
14th November, 2010
Major update- have completed all "Standard ROM" icons including settings folder. Covers all Energy(.sencity) HD2 Leo and Blackstone ROM icons- please let me know if I've missed any. Remember, this will also cover other (non Energy) .sencity ROMS and other Energy ROMS (Rhodium etc) except for the occasional icon which can be changed manually with JWMD etc. (I've focussed on Energy ROM simply because that's what I use).
Also, have now separated the zipped packs into "Standard ROM" and "Extra App" packs assuming the standard ROM packs won't require as much updating from now on. Don't forget you can use icons contained in the "Standard ROM" pack for any of your custom apps also, so have a look in both packs for what you need.
THANKS of course to _LeCiel_ for a fantastic theme- the .sencity thread is here.
THANKS TO CONTRIBUTORS:
They drive us pretty hard at the Roosticity Icon Sweatshop, so if you know anyone that can do an honest days work for an honest days pay (well actually it's chicken feed) then I'd be glad to hear from you. Contributions welcome.
LYCOX thanyou for additional icons - find these extra icons here at post 16 of this thread. Lycox icons up to last update are included within the Roosticity pack.
COLOSSUS_R thankyou for additional icons- find these extra icons here at post 78 of this thread. Colossus icons will be added to the Roosticity pack with the next major update.
SEE BELOW THE PREVIEW IMAGE FOR HOW TO INSTALL & OTHER INFO... (Check the PDFs attached for a preview of the full set)

ROM CHEFS:
You're welcome to use these icons but please add a post here so we can take a peek at your work, and if you are using the .sencity theme then why not add a link back to here so your users can more easily find icons for the additional programs they load
ALSO THANKS TO:
Thanks to the following for vector source files: Reflection Icon Set by Webdesigner Depot, FREEGINE Vector Icon Set and the Liquidicity icon set by Go Squared.
UPDATES HISTORY:
11th November, 2010
Minor update: Some corrections and additions. Standard ROM pack almost complete- some settings folder icons to come in next major update.
3rd November, 2010
Updated zipped folder to include all the "Standard ROM" icons included in the cab plus a stack of icons for additional programs. Includes extra icons Lycox has contributed up to this date. Now almost 200 icons in total.
2nd November, 2010 (Melbourne Cup Day)
Completed icons for apps that are selectable through Cookies Home Tabs and put in to a CAB. This CAB also covers all start menu icons apart from icons in settings folder.
HOW TO LOAD ICON SET:
A) CAB
1. Copy cab file to your SD Card or phone and run it. The cab will replace the standard start menu icons that come with most ROMs.
2. You will need to clear the HTC Sense icon cache to update the icon links in Sense, and then soft reset. (Use either JWMD as below point B.3, or there's a small utility to do this called SICC (Sense Icon Cache Clearer), or manually by deleting all .png files in ProgLauncher folder (Application Data>HTC>ProgLauncher).
3. There may be a few left over that need to be changed manually with JWMD due to ROM and icon naming differences. Icons for extra applications that you have loaded will not be replaced automatically, so match an icon from the zipped file to your application and change manually with JWMD.
4. If you want to change back to your original set-up, simply un-install Roosticity from your Remove Programs menu (this won't remove icons changed with JWMD- you will need to remove those ones with JWMD)
B) MANUALLY or with JWMD Icon Changer
You can manually rename and copy and paste icons into the correct locations, but I used JWMD Icon Changer to do mine initially, so below describes that method.
1. Download the ZIP from the link below and copy the extracted folder somewhere on your SD card.
2. Use JWMD Icon Changer to replace the existing icons (read instructions from that thread on how to do it- it’s simple)
3. Clear HTC Sense Icon Cache. (JWMD has a feature to clear the HTC Sense icon cache under Menu> Tools> HTC Sense Tools> Clear Icon Cache.)
4. Select yes to Soft Reset.
5. DONE!
BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD: STRICTLY NO DOWNLOAD MIRRORS- provide a link to this thread on XDA instead . Plus- use your THANKS button if you get some use out of these!

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like them - I enjoyed being able to add something
Re new icons yes there will be more, but I don't get chunks of free time regularly so can't promise it will be regular and fast! However, I'll add a request list to the first post which will hopefully make it easier for others out there to help add to and improve this pack.
Very nice iconset. I really like that you even payed attention to the white inner-border and tried to make the icons as close to the CHT icons from .sencity as possible.
Congrats!
So I have to change each one manually and cant just import it? I dont get how to import the set because you dont have a theme file or something
Hopefully there will be a cab or even better, fully integrated into sencity by default.

use CSMI and SICC to change icons, manually.
This gives you the possibility to mix and match icons, since atm not all icons of (for example) EnergyRoms are present.

Thanks it's great to know you like it- I'm chuffed! And yes it's those little details that make the .sencity design look great. (It's much easier to copy a good design style than to create it though)

I'd have no problems with that of course, but in any case if not then at least this set of icons will be there to add some extra options and to cover extra apps etc.
Just for information: I'm currently working on some additional icons. Hope to release them soon.
P.S.: Nice work Rooster

hey, can anybody share the psd file and/or write a quick tutorial how to create icons for the .sensity theme? i think that would be best as some gusys (me for example) use apps, that maybo nobody else use (as duden, pons, pschrembel, langenscheidt, oxford).
plus we would have a very huge collection.
I currently updated my icons. See here:

Good one Lycox- I was hoping for some people to contribute to the pack! Keep 'em comin
I thought about doing this for a while now. As a Recognized Themer, I know the troubles and frustrations that went into learning just the basic theming skills to make my first skin a while back. In saying so, this thread is dedicated in teaching new themers or regular users that want to make their device a bit more colourful. The thread will be broken into lessons that will provide insight to typical theming, Do's and Don'ts, and some advanced theming along the way.
These tutorials are based on Sense 4+ skins for HTC. However, the concept can be applied to earlier versions of Sense and perhaps, some tips can be used for other Android devices.
I will answer all questions and provide help as best as I can for new users that wish to venture into the world of theming. As well, your suggestions, ideas, or even theming tricks are welcome as long as you provide simple instructions for the community to follow.
This is a learning thread and the primary goal to to educate and give back to the community.
All (well, mostly all) theming tutorials will be based on Photoshop CS6. I will provide links to specific STYLES that I used for theming my skins. If you have questions about other programs, I might not be able to answer however, the theming concept could probably be universal.
Enjoy and I hope to see some of your theming work soon.
Basic homescreen theming
Tutorial 1 - Theming the Home Navigation Dock PNG
First and foremost, you will need to decompile a skin. The best program available is from Diamondback
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619473 (Consider buying a licence. It's an excellent tool with valuable resources)
Once you have downloaded and managed to get your first skin decompiled, you'll need to locate your first PNG that you want to theme. For this tutorial, I will be focusing on the home_nav_bg.png. This PNG is responsible for the dock on your homescreen. See the image below.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once you have found that PNG (data/assets folder) you can open it up in Photoshop and begin theming. Below is a Youtube video that shows the theming instructions for the screenshot above.

Tutorial 2 - Theming Common Headers and Footers
As you learn about theming, you will notice that a few PNG's will be responsible for several widgets. One such group of PNG's are the Common Header and Footer PNG's found in the assets folder. These PNG's can be found on the Calendar, People, and Social widgets to name a few.
There are about 8 PNG's that you will need to theme in the drawable folder and 4 in the drawable_land folder. They are all named common_header and common_footer. See the image on the Calendar widget below.
Theming these PNG's is quite easy. Basically you just need to open the PNG, theme it the way you want and save. For this turorial, I will be making the common_headers and common_footers using the same ASL Style provided in Tutorial 1.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
9png Files
Tutorial 1 - Theming the Common Panel
9png. files are very difficult to work with because these PNG's have a 1 pixel border that needs to remain intact. See image below.
For this tutorial, you can use the Vista glass ASL found at this site : http://lost--in--thought.deviantart.com/art/Vista-Glass-Style-54030653
However, one specific 9.png file that is responsible for several backgrounds on the homescreen is the common_panel.p.png, most noticeable with the music apk used on the homescreen. See image below,
A typical 9.png file will have a 1 pixel border that cannot be comprised. This leaves some difficult in theming with regular 9.png's but for some reason, this rule doesn't apply with the common_panel.9.png, therefore, complete theming can be applied.
I'm going to outline the basic procedures for editing the common_panel.9.png file followed by a video tutorial showing how to theme the PNG in Photoshop.
First, you need to open the image and select a border colour. See image below.
Once you have the image, you need to select all, go to edit, fill with your colour you have choosen. See image below.
Now we need to contract the border inside (2 pixels). Use the magic wand selection tool, click to select the outer edges. Go to Selection/Modify/Contract. You want to contract by 2 pixels. See image below.
Now we need to remove the selection from Layer top. See the image below.
Follow the remaining steps to add the transparent background to Layer 0 and fill in the missing edges in Layer top. See the image below.

Weather Clock
Tutorial 1 - Transparent Clock Panels
One of the most asked request I've received has to do with the Weather Clock and more specifically, how I make my transparent clock panels. The clock panels themselves are not that difficult to work with, but the numbers can be tedious because there are 20 sets of PNG's, tops and bottoms. There are also 4 weather panels that can be themed.
The weather clock PNG's with full Sense skins are found in the assets folder. For Lite Sense skins, they can be located in the res/drawable/hdpi folder. Lite Sense skins are easier to work with because the clock panels and numbers are intact.
When working with weather panels, there flip lines that appear in the middle. These are elements of the flips but they can be removed if you edit the flips or use this No Gap Mode located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054779 This mode removes the flip line. All credits go to Team 420 and the Band of Misfits for this mod.
For this particular tutorial, I will only be dealing with the stock weather clock and panels. What you will need are the following found in assets.
PNG's namely (weather panels) 9C324240, 71690667, DE32E328, EF60452E
PNG's namely (0 to 9 top and bottom)
PNG's namely clock_weather_panel.png, clock_weather_panel_l.png, clock_weather_panel_s.png, and clock_weather_panel_s_l.png
Vista ASL Layer posted earlier
I usually select a wallpaper first before making my weather clock. Transparent clocks are good because they go with any wallpaper. We're going to make something similar like the image below.
The instructions are found inside the screenshots below.

Kustom Live Wallpaper (KLWP) is the most powerful HD Wallpaper creator ever! KWGT is Widget creator counterpart. Use their awesome WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to create you own design and display any data you need, at once, and with wonderful animations too (KLWP only)! If you need more info or have questions please use these thread:
KLWP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-kustom-live-wallpaper-t2916666
KWGT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-kwgt-kustom-widget-maker-android-4-4-t3225173
Please use this thread to share Kustom Komponents WIPs, Kustom Komponent Screens or links to free Kustom Komponents (komp.zip files)
Komponents are basically presets inside a preset or reusable items, so a way in Kustom to create your own redistributable object. So, for example, let's say you want to create a clock but hide the complexity to the user and enable him to just set the color and the font in use, well, Komponents will do exactly that!
Material Clock Komponent sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbvJwPQeTNc
Signal Bar Komponent tutorial: http://kustom.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/434600
Quick reference, how to create a komponent
Open a preset, press "+" on top right to add a new module
Select Komponent -> New Skin
Create your Komponent possibly using "globals" (for globals check http://kustom.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/426738-how-to-use-globals)
Export the Komponent pressing the "export" icon on top bar
Go in your SD card under "Kustom/Komponents"
Share the file "komp.zip" as it is
How to use a Komponent
Copy the "komp.zip" file as it is in the SD card under "Kustom/Komponents"
Open a preset, press "+" on top right to add a new module
Select Komponent -> SD Card and browse for the desired Komponent
Weather Komponents
Since weather komponents are quite a common need i have attached an example one to start with so you can create a new one very very quickly. There are 2 ways to do that:
From PC:
Open the attached komp.zip file
Replace all the images in the "Bitmaps" folders keeping the same names
Save the Zip
Done!! If you want also to change title / author either edit the "preset.json" file in the zip or import export as instructions below
From the device:
Add the Komponent from your SD card
Go inside the Komponent and Inside the "Bitmap Group" with the Advanced Editor
Pick a new image for every state listed (so enter the image, press "pick image" and choose the corresponding image)
Export with your details / name / description
Done!
Welcome everyone! Show us what you've made!
Baseline Komponent for the creation of Weather Iconsets
This komponent should be available to all of you in the next update, but if you want it now have at it in the link below.
So this is a fairly straight forward iconset using the well know Climacons glyph set.
There are several reasons I built and released this as an unlocked, free, Komponent.
1st. You can use this as a base to create your own LOCKED/Paid Komponent APKs. You still have to do a bit of work, but all of the code base is already in place for making the right icon show.
2nd. The globals here give you some ideas on what you should be including with your iconset Komponents. Just having a font is OK, but having other stuff like background shapes is better.
3. This is FAR easier to handle in terms of creating weather layouts. You no longer need to go into the code and change wi(icon) to wf(icon, #) for every single icon you have in your forecast list.
Simply add the Komponent, and choose from the DAY dropdown list which you want, Current or Forecast#, the code takes care of the rest.
List of Globals
*Day* (list) - Choose current or forecast day number
*Iconset* (font) Change the icons the Komponent uses easily
*Icon* (color) - Changes the color of the weather icon
*IconSize* (number) Change the size of the weather icon relative to BG
*Outline* (toggle) Change icon to an outline
*Stroke* (number) Change the width of the outline.
*BGStyle* (list) Change background shape (off, square, Circle, Exagon)
*BG* (color) Change the color of the backgroud shape
*Corners* (number) adjust the corner roundness on the BG shape.
Please remember that if you change the font used, you do HAVE TO go into the "Weather Icon" text layer and change the formula to reflect with characters your icons are assigned to.
Saved for a How-To on editing the code for your own font.
Coming soon.

Please check post on top, just copy it in the SD card under "Kustom/komponents" (the directory should already be there), then you can add it in the editor as you add a shape or text, just select Komponent -> SD card and browse for this. Since that Komponent is unlocked you will start in simple mode (you will see the tunable options only) but if you want to edit the komponent you can just "unlock" it and see the internals.

Ooops! The "komponents" folder is not created automatically. I have fixed this on next version, you will have to create it manually this time or just try adding a komponent, select SD card, it will show an empty list but create the folder. Thanks for reporting!!

This Komponent takes the "Kitchen Sink" approach to its design. Thats to say that there are a large number of GLOBALS, to allow you to take my icon design and make it your own. All in all there are 30 globals for customization. Allowing you to change everything from the size of the icon, its color, its design, to the shape, color and other special characteristics of background shapes.

Media App Iconset.
*Media Icon Komponent is live in the playstore*
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.qlagdesigns.mediaapps
*Since Im offering this up for free, do me a favor and rate the app.*
This Komponent allows you to display an icon of the currently selected Music source.
There are a total of 40 different media apps that are supported by this iconset.
Additionally there are two other icons to handle apps that do not have their own icon.
1- A generic media icon, that appears only when none of the package name checks in the string are true.
2- A special icon that only displays if Media Utilities renders a null output for current package name. This icon is useful to relay the fact that a source needs to be choose.
This Komponent is UNLOCKED you can do with it as you like, so long as your follow two conditions.
1. You may NOT repackage this as your own Komponent and attempt to sell it.
2. If you use this in your own project and decide to sell said project, please provide attribution.
*IMPORTANT INFO*
This Komponents code uses Media Utilities to provide the package name of the current app in use. When Kustom builds this feature directly into the app, I will update this Komponent to reflect the new variables.
The Playstore version of Media Utilities is no longer being updated and does not seem to function with this Komponent. You need the latest build meant for KitKat, v153. You will need to side load this apk. The files can be found on the Media Utilities Beta Community page. https://plus.google.com/communities/103994832080931061321
KSymbolSet for Kustom
This is a Set of Symbols and Signals as Komponents made for the app 'Kustom Live Wallpaper'.

Thanks for the link, it is interesting that this has been built into the new Android build.
A serious limitation of this is that for each application that you want to theme,
you have to create a separate APK and compile it.
This process would be very time consuming on the phone.
Cyanogenmod has enhanced this by consolidating everything into a single apk,
they also opened up areas that the RRO can't theme.
So, I am leaning towards focusing on the CM12 update.
I am also planning on changing my program to allow Theme modules,
so following some simple folder placements, any icons could be provided
so you could make a very customized experience.
One change with that that would be a little more difficult for people
is the XML updates, but I plan to provide different modules as examples.
Version 1.0.2
I have released version 1.0.2 to the playstore,
It takes a couple of hours to show up,
But it should show an update available for those who have downloaded it.
The Benefit of the change:
ReWorked the Coloring calculation to allow for better gradiants from white to the color selected.
Graphics created now will have more contrast and subtly pop.

Yes, this will be updated for CM12 --- waiting for a stable release for my phone.
Shouldn't be too much longer.
Thanks for the Interest.
Version 1.5.5 added to Play Store
May take an hour or 2 to show up on the playstore....
This Version has the Advanced Menu which allows you to:
*Change colors that xml changes.
*Color any Validly formatted Themes Icons.
*replace or add valid Icons
*replace add or delete additional apps to theme.
*********************************
Modifiable Directory will be created on authorization on your SdCard where completed themes currently reside.
a Sample theme that shows what needs to exist from other themes will be put in the jTransmogrifier/jAssets/jIce
directory. You can edit the icons in the Assets folder.
You can replace the assets folder with the assets folder from other Themes,
either all or the bits and pieces that you choose to change or add/ subtract.
Where do you get the Assets from other themes?
Copy the other Themes APK to your computer, Unzip it and you will see the Assets folder.
You can create your own folder in the same folder location as jIce as long as it is in the sample folders format.
IE: you can have multiple themes that will be available in the dropdown selection.
jTransmogrifier/jAssets/jIce
jTransmogrifier/jAssets/MyTheme
jTransmogrifier/jAssets/AnotherFolderINamed
etc..
If you put invalid files or duplicate .9 and regular png files together you will create an invalid theme file,
This is the result of what You did.
if you want to reset the advanced options to use the original theme:
Original is an option in the Folder theme selection, this will reset the original XML values to stock and use
the original themes icons when creating a theme.
If you want to reset the xml new color values that you might have changed, you need to go to the color chooser
screen and re-hit the ok button or choose another color and they will be redone.
Additional information will be added later.
