"Blue Glass" WIP... Need Help?

I want to contribute a theme badly.
I've attempted to sign files, and Alt + S my theme but to be completely honest I'm not good at following tutorials. (i bricked it and had to re-flash). pft.
I wouldn't mind making a theme... as far as editing the images.
I have this so far (please do not take my idea as an advantage to make your own theme and recieve credit... if you'd like to release this with me, help me turn it into a theme)....
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can finish the theme... I just need help creating it (as far as signing/update.zip blah blah blah)...
So if you're interested in helping me, please message me and i'll provide all the resources (icons, bg, clock, etc) for us to make it a release .
This is not what I want the finale theme to look like.. it's just an idea.
Thanks y'all! <33

yes, lol.
vista home prem.

Just a little proposal, add some white dots on the clock, would make it a heck of a lot easier reading the time

i'll definitely do that.
I'm just trying to make it as universal as possible so it'll look nice with any kind of wallpaper.
Basically why i'm sticking to the greyscale.

Looks nice. I'll be waiting for it to come out.

then all you need to do is make sure you have java installed and download the auto-signer program that Stericson made for us to use. it's quite easy i'll go get a link and post the thread link here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580&highlight=autosign
if you are still having issues after that then you can send me the "finished" theme and i will post it saying that you created the theme and i simply signed it

signing with vista prem is a pita, especially with a 64bit machine. I've never gotten it to work and stericson and I have spent time trying to get it to work when it won't. I have to do all my signing once a theme is built on my old xp machine. Might be why the op is having issues with signing

I have a 32bit vista laptop, but even then i just suck at tutorials.
I attempted to make the theme... and i ended up bricking my device.
I got it back up and running, so i'm scared to attempt again.
I'll follow the tutorial one last time and see if it works, and if not... then i'll upload the "finale release" and have it signed for it to be released.
I currently have a "coark board" concept in my head so i'll see if I can make several ideas to sumbit.

Task Bar and Bottom Bar

Is there a way to get rid of the top and bottom bar, to show wallpaper behind it,....... seen below!!

Well there have been hacks to get rid of the bottom softkey row but it gets rid of it in all apps which starts a no-no.
Another method would be to use homescreens that are full screen... kinda like the ones you have to launch (basically an app). You don't really get rid of the bars, just have a program covering them up.
Another method, which I used to use, is to skin the bars with the same image so it appears they're gone, with just the background and icons and softkey text. It actually works well. Of course you need WM6.5 that allows skinning.
Other methods include "desktop" replacements like WAD and such. They basically skin the bars to your liking and works with older windows mobile OS's

Thanks Player911 for the advice. BTW, i am using WM6.5, so what would you suggest as best.
Please keep in mind i am running the Gen.Y Manila "Revolution" R1.5 VGA Port CFC with the Panaramic background.

I'd like to know this also...
And it'd be amazing if anyone ported this to vga...

No donation required. I only looked for the main color panel, which is in common_browse_list.xml, but I am sure there are others that need to be edited as well to change whatever color you are trying to use. I didn't spend the time looking for them all.
So, in other words, if you go to the detail for a particular person, that is likely controlled somewhere else, in a similar fashion.

Droid X Lockscreen?

Hey, Just wondering is there a flashable Droid X locscreen floating around that's compatible with our Eris? Hope I didn't overlook anything & while I was searching because it seems to be impossible to find. Please help if you have any leads on this or if there just absolutely isn't one. I'd appreciate it.

I thought the DX lockscreen is just like the N1? Which we have if you remove the lockscreen apk if using a sense based ROM.

2 ways to do this. Either have someone send you their framework.apk from the DX and take the pngs from there or make them in PS. Both can be applied via MetaMorph.

Man, I'm pretty nubeish (if that's a word) & don't think i'll be successful in doing that so i'll either just wait until it's ported or just play around with your method & get lucky. Thanks.

I mean this in the nicest way as its always nice to have another themer on board, but read. If you really want to learn this, I will point you in the right direction. Just PM me and Ill give you the videos I watched and steps I did to learn it. Its very simple. Take you under 10mins to watch teh videos and another 10 to say, DAMN! that was too easy.

Themes

I've noticed a few themes on here. I have the latest cognition running and am interested in putting a theme on my Captivate. Is there a compilation thread that shows all the themes and how they differ?

Not that I have fond but the post your homescreen thread is useful. There is allot of interesting tweaks and if you read enough you should be able to piece together what you want.

We should get off our butts and learn how.

I'm attempting to create a black and red theme. Keyword is attempting. So far it's been a long grueling process with lots of FC's. Slowly but surely it's coming together though. After I'm done editing with NinjaMorph I'll either upload the APK's or learn to make a MetaMorph.
So far I've gotten the check boxes, phone options menu, and notification buttons(mix with minimalistic black)
I'm gonna hit all the buttons/icons/etc first then dig into the xml's for the text coloring.

Fritz, have you made a thread for your theme yet? I'd like to see how that comes along. Red + Black are a great color scheme. I'd like to help out however I can if you would like.

Not yet. Let me get close to finished and I'll release it. I found my problem with the FCs I was getting. Apparently I don't know how to search and read or I would have found the thread on 9.png's. I wasn't re-applying the 9 patches after editing them. Kicking away at it on breaks and lunches at work but should get it done sometime soon.
