Setting up colors Colors are mainly devided into three segments and they are HEADER, MENU and TEXT colors. Take a copy of /sdcard/4ext/4ext.prop file and set colors as you wish to represent after applying your theme.
Preparing package: Either you download archive from 2nd post and use it as reference, or you can find other themes across different theme section. Though themes are installed at same supported locations, every themer has their own way of packing resources in archive and copying them on device using script. File copy operation is controled by updater-script under META-INF/com/google/android folder.

[Announcement]: After seeing themes made by apaquette420 (here), I decided to stop working on my themes. They really look nice and far far better in comparison of mines. They are so good that I stopped using mine .
I created some themes to work on 4EXTRecovery and hope some of you will like them. Installation is done on system partition only and this makes sure your existing settings on sdcard is not touched. After flashing uninstaller, your recovery theme will revert back to default. Installing theme will cause only change in base background at the moment. I am planning to add images to support error, usb toggle, installation, etc... screens (depending on users response). Out of all Htc_Qb is my favorite at the moment. I found 4EXTRecovery which is based on source code of CWM, has all the features that were missing in default CWM.
A big thanks to madmaxx82 to bring such fantastic recovery for us.
Note: Added full completed themes for 4EXT recovery 2.1.2 on 2nd page.

Ok I will make it little more highlighted.
People who don't like shadowed brown color but want to use related images, extract and copy attached file to /sdcard/4ext folder. This has default color combination as in 2.1.0-RC1 recovery.
Hi!
Big thanks for all the themes and your hard work, have to try all of them
But could I ask you a favour?
At the moment it deletes all the settings the user might have defined in his 4ext.prop. And there are more settings to come (also some you will be able to change from inside of 4EXT)
It's possible to create flashable themes leaving all user defined settings intact. Think of it like an overlay for some areas in 4ext.prop.
If you would change it the way I wanted this to work, then the uninstaller I link to in my sig + 1st post, would return 4ext to the exact settings the user might have had defined before he flashed a theme (not just the default settings you get when you first install it)
Whiskey103 did it that way.
Otherwise this isn't very convenient for people who already have their own settings.
To do that:
simply install your 4ext folder in the zip file into /system/4ext/ instead of /sdcard/4ext.
And modify the path used for icons in your 4ext.prop from your theme.zip to point to /system/4ext/icons (instead of /sdcard/4ext/icons) and remove all lines after that one (so it contains only theming relevant settings).
I have attached the modified 3dcube theme for you to see if you want to check what I mean.
That would be great
AWESOME JOB!!!

Sure. I will modify scripts in all of these themes. Thanks for figuring this out, tomorrow they will be fixed.
Looking seriously good mate. I will flash one of them when I next enter recovery
Good work amresh, it gives a different color and looks good this excellent recovery.
Thanks for sharing.
Theme is now installed on system partition by default. Existing sdcard settings is not touched.

Along with progress in recovery, theme will look more complete with supplying more images for different events .
A gift to keep me going for a while.
I will send you some nice background. Feel free to use them into theme.
Being one of biggest fan of yours, I followed your suggestion and installed 4EXTRecovery followed by theme. I am amazed to see so much can be done with recovery too.

Description:
This is basically a metamorph version of l0st.prophets "GingerFroyo" with a few differences:
Uses Metamorph instead of an update.zip to apply theme
Your final look is determined by which packages and subthemes you apply (you have more options, e.g. you don't like the gingerbread-style animations? You don't apply that package)
Both grey and green statusbar icons (default is grey)
Includes a font that is somewhat more subtle (from the Palm Pre)
Misc. minor subtle differences (like the half transparent background of the dropdown)
Problems using metamorph or prefer an update.zip? Look here for l0st.prophet's flashable update instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864451

History:
13-12-2010:
v1.3.1:
Fixed font copy location
Fixed tab bug (in main package); thanks for the heads up, ximmox!
v1.3:
Moved files to public dropbox folder (HERE)
Restructured packages into individual zips for different items (see post below)
Added (optional) Froyo animation package. You can now revert if you don't like the wobly gingerbread style.
Added menu packages for Froyd 1.7.2 and Floyo 1.1.9 (could work on Floyo 1.2.0; untested)
12-12-2010: v1.2: Major kudos to l0st.prophet; this update is only possible thanks to him.
Nexus S default wallpaper
Added (optional) menu package for dark menus (see screenshot)
Added (optional) green icon package for statusbar icons
Added (optional) Browser and Dailer subthemes
Restructured metamorph package
10-12-2010: v1.1 now has both animation- and theme-packages in seperate metamorph directories. That way you can choose whether you want those animations or not ... or just the animations Also it has cleaned up contactframes (aka they be gone now) as well as cleaned up waiting spinners (no more jagged edges there).
09-12-2010: Thanks to studjuice for pointing me to the anim xmls, which have now been included in an extra package (those that don't want the fly-in animations can still use the original zip).
Downloads
The public dropbox folder contains the following zip-packages (which you will have to extract to your sd-card; see instructions below):
KrispysGingerbread_1.3.1_Main.zip
KrispysGingerbread_1.3_Animation.zip
KrispysGingerbread_1.3_GreenIcons.zip
KrispysGingerbread_1.3_Menu_CM61.zip
KrispysGingerbread_1.3_Menu_Floyo119.zip
KrispysGingerbread_1.3_Menu_Froyd172.zip
How to use:
!!!
Please, please, please make sure that you have are using the default theme (Stock) with the white status bar before continuing (this is important; you can reset it by going to Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweaks Extra -> Reset UI tweaks to default).
!!!
"KrispysGingerbread_1.3.1_Main.zip" contains:
"CM6settingsXML" contains an xml for use with Cyanogenmod settings. It is the colour definition I use (makes the clock and notifications turn white). This xml-file should be extracted to your sd card in "CMTheme". Then you can select it by going to Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> User Interface -> Tweaks Extra -> Select a theme.
"KrispyGingerbread_Main" contains the basic metamorph (a directory) and you should extract that to the "AndroidThemes" directory on your sdcard. This main package contains 4 subthemes: the font, browser update, dailer update and framework-res.apk: the meat of the package.
"KrispysGingerbread_1.3_Animation.zip" contains the gingerbread-style animations metamorph and you should put that in the "AndroidThemes" directory on your sdcard as well. This package also contains a metamorph with the original Froyo-style animations in case you want to go back.
"KrispyGingerbread_1.3_Menu_***.zip" contains the metamorph with the gingerbread bottom menu (dark), depending on your ROM.
note: If you apply this metamorph, there is no easy way back to the default style. Should you wish to do this, reflash your ROM version (only cache wiping) and reapply the packages you want or drop me a pm and I'll see what I can do.
"KrispyGingerbread_1.3_GreenIcons.zip" contains statusbar icons in green. Copy to SD blablabla.
Then install using metamorph (here's a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329 )
Disclaimerthingy:
So I made this for myself, but seeing as there is some demand for this in the froyd thread, I figured I'd share this. I take no credit for anything other than the resizing (which is not a big deal anyway). I did not skin the bottom dwelling menu (the one that pop's up if you press the menu key), because I haven't been able to change the font colour and you'd get black on black (unreadable). If someone knows how to change that, please tell!
I've tested it on CM6.1 stable, but my guess is that it should work for other android 2.2- or CM-based ROMs as well. I don't plan on supporting this, but if you post something here I might look at it. Also, feel free to use the images in the pack, they're Google's anyway
ENJOY!
hallo! i'm using froydvillian 1.7. when i apply the metamorph theme nothing happens (i think the font changed)... i have tried several times now. i have chosen krispyGingerbread.xml and get no errors. no errors on startup check either.
any ideas?

Hmmm... odd
Seems you have problems with Metamorph in general then. It could be that the file permissions are not set correctly.
Using either the adb or root explorer, can anyone on Froyd check the file permissions of:
/system/fonts/* (mine are set to --rwxr-x)
/system/framework/framework-res.apk (mine is set to rw-r--r--)
The other problem could be with the /system partition being mounted as r/o rather than r/w, but that's a bit trickier to solve.
same permissions on froyd....damn i already got excited!
I found this in the Metamorph thread and I remember doing this at one point so you might want to try this:
"That actually is a busy box issue, it is not being given proper permission.
get the app "terminal emulaltor" from the market
then type this into the emulator

chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox"

Well.. it's not about space then. Last thing I can come up with is renaming the directory to something without special characters, e.g. "KrispysGingerbread".
I had some problems applying the fonts, but it worked after the rename. I've updated the zip, maybe you could try that one?
tried the updated zip. still no errors and theme is not applied.
i'm on osx and one thing i noticed is, after your zip is unpacked and i try copying KrispysGingerbread folder in sdcard/AndroidThemes i get an error saying that the operation cannot finish because an object with the same name already exists.... and there is nothing in that folder...
so my solution is that i copy the whole zip into sdcard/androidtheme and let metamorph unzip it. i then browse to the xml and apply it
the copying of KrispysGingerbread always stops after jog_tab_target_yellow.png in KrispysGingerbread/framework-res/res/dawable-mdpi , if that helps...
Have tried myself with this, and with new zip will apply the fonts but not the theme itself, although it states its applying framework-res.apk and then asks if you want to reboot to see your changes.

Just installed MetaMorph and went about to enable this theme. Works wonders! Had to run MetaMorph twice though to get it to run without asking about more space on /system.
Thanks! Looks awesome!

I suspect this has something to do with roaming on a network or something like that: my colleague has the same green icons and uses an small operator that uses the network of a smaller one. I'm on vodafone and mine are just white.
I might theme more.. if I find the time
A small addition to your theme, hope you don`t mind.

Whiskey, little problem here. I'm using 4extrecovery by maddmaxx82 version 2.1.0 final. Trying to restore old backup it stucks (not your fault), but recovery has lost your theme. Now it's orange without background and the same version 2.1.0. I haven't tried what would happen if i restore normal bakup yet.

Hey tyler, why not do the same thing I did and add backup and restore to a seperate page called "Nandroid Option" or something? I can give you my xml code for it. I also replaced "Restore" on the home screen with "About Theme" to give people information on it and also, I set the "Backup" button on the main screen to Nandroid Options Let me know what you think.

Wow latest update looks great. Would be cool if you could add ICS progress bar and fonts. Just an idea.
I just flashed something and that red background was "alarming" I thought I funked something up. Also the text was a little hard to read with the red background . Maybe black instead to red for the background?
There is a bug on the last page of data whip the menus carry over to that page. FYI.

The splash can't be modified. I was told by the programmer, they put that image into the C code
Thanks for the bug report. I just fixed it
here's a little something i made for the masses to flash TWRP and automatically have your theme https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D315775_7173530_083842
its a bat file for windows that auto reboots to bootloader erases recovery and flashes TWRP for the GSM NEXUS S (T-mobile /att / rogers )
Sorry sprint users
Simple download this extract it and run RecoveryFlasher.bat
it adb pushes the ui.zip to the correct folder on the sdcard to avoid confusion
if anyone finds any issues with it let me know
please note you must already have an unlocked bootloader and adb and fastboot drivers for it to work
Installed the theme this morning, doing a restore does not show the "Enable MD5 checking of backup files" text and checkbox. I can see a little line belonging to the checkbox but the rest is covered. Thanks, excelent theme.
love it but could you remove the virtual buttons ?

Thanks for this theme, by the way. It looks lovely on my EVO 4G. But I agree, the on-screen button aren't needed, since the hardware buttons work fine within recovery (at least they do on the EVO).

Do you know that TWRP now resizes images automatically therefore negating the need for multiple resolution themes.

I don't mind the bad language, I've had a guy with worse English on my team, so I understand. About the text, yes it will get a bit stretched and will not look very nice. So what you can do is maintain three or four resolutions only, like highest, lowest and two which are somewhat in between. This should reduce the effort required.

Looks great. Can you create some simple, minimalist splash screens that replaces the not so attractive one in 3.0? Some that mimic your team win recovery project header in your theme and that match the theme color schemes? I would prefer that you just add it to the zip! See attached.

Have you ever been to @z31s1g's theme thread?? He clearly told that the splash is now XML controlled, and therefore one static image should be tough to use as a splash.

Yes and that is why I am recommended that the developer who created this work up something. I just used that singular static image as my preference for simplistic and attractive design. I know that the particular file that i attached would not work. Just an example of minimalist design.

@andii_nr
Hey, you forgot to change the theme version in the "dark - light - play" themes, look into ui xml, it's written 287x_v2, i changed it in my themes, it's not really important but I say you. If you want, i fixed it in the zips below, you can take them if you want to update them.
These themes are compatible with MultiROM-TWRP versions 3.0.0 - 3.0.2 in portrait mode only. MultiROM-TWRP 3.0.0 is the latest version available for my 2012 Nexus 7, which is my test device, but these themes also work with versions 3.0.1 and 3.0.2. They are 1080 x 1920 resolution, and TWRP will scale the themes to other resolutions. Some people (including myself) don't like busy wallpapers, so I have also made available no-wallpaper versions with a black background.
The first theme available is 3D Blues. Now, I have created the XDA Labs theme! Do you like G.M.L.'s XDA Labs theme for regular TWRP? If so, then try this one if you are running MultiROM TWRP! (See screenshots and download links below.)
]I have added a new theme - HoloLight for MultiROM TWRP. Actually, this is a modification of my previous HoloLight theme for TWRP 3.0.x. See below for screenshots and download link.
3d Blues update:
13 October 2016:
Fixed missing backup button, but the option to show auto-generated backup name is gone.
Reversed navbar layout option is added in.
I added "Reboot after installation is complete" to General Settings & Install Zip page.
Other minor mods and fixes that somewhat reduced the file size.
The theme has been bumped to version 1.1.0.
Credits:
The original authors of the xml code are Teamwin and z31s1g.
The chmod 644 function code is by fichl, and used by permission.
Most of the graphics in the 3D Blues theme were created by Dustin B (from his Cobalt Lollipop theme), and used by permission.
In the XDA Labs theme, some graphics were created by G.M.L. and used with permission. I created the main buttons and made all mods to the xml code in both themes.
DOWNLOAD THE THEME OF YOUR CHOICE (OR ALL) AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. The theme can be on an external sdcard or the internal sdcard.
2. In TWRP, select "Install".
3. Go to the folder containing the theme and select it.
4. Swipe to confirm Flash and TWRP will restart with the new theme. (TWRP will create the "theme" folder if needed.)
5. ENJOY!
If you only have MR-TWRP 3.0.0 (like I do), you will need to copy the theme to the /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ folder and rename it to ui.zip. Then reload the theme and enjoy!
You use these themes at your own risk - there is no guarantee. Neither I nor the staff of XDA will be held responsible if you brick your phone or tablet, or if these themes eat your cat.
Post here and let me know how they work on your device!

Unlike some of the other multirom themes there is no issue reading text.

Early in development, I removed the reverse-navbar code from the theme. I don't remember why, but I'll put it back in. I've got a busy weekend coming up, so give me a couple of days. (i'll try to put it back in tonight.)
I saw the attached screenshot - the backup button is missing! Do you not have the ability to do nandroid backups?

I double checked and with that theme backup is missing in main menu and in multirom menu. As far as the update for navbar fix take your time I am not in recovery enough for it to be a big issue.

Backup button missing is really strange... It's not missing when installed on my Nexus 7 and I can test most of the theme on my Galaxy S3 (except MultiROM functions.) Backup is not missing from main menu on the S3 either. I've checked file totals on both zip files - here and online and they are the same.
The navbar fix is already done. I'm working on other small issues in the theme though...

I'm going to look into this missing Backup button issue. (See the post above yours if you haven't already.) I'll let you know something in a few days.
What do you mean by a "complete black version"? Buttons and background all black with white text? (A few buttons don't have text.) Or everything black? Then you wouldn't be able to see anything!
