Before installing this theme you must have the Lite version of JF 1.42 RC33, which can be found here.
This is my most complete theme thus far which includes icons, a menu bar, status bar images, etc. (Even a custom blue android during bootup)
My wife directed this theme and gave tips which probably made it better
If theres anything you notice that needs to be corrected or if you have suggestions, please leave feedback. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, yea i'm having trouble finding the pictures icon file lol, still searching though. I do plan on going systemwide and adding more to it little by little.
well keep it up....great work.
Im also not personally a fan of the status bar. but only because im not a fan of gradients, doesnt really detract from the theme at all.

I've located the pictures icon and will have an update in a few mins. I'm pretty sure i'll be changing the status bar and drop down bar to match the clock a bit more.
aiight, love the changes...one flaw now...the top bar for the folders....must be coded wrong or something because once selected it becomes distorted severely. I'll post a screenshot.
Thats why we dont edit .9.png files, unless you know the technique that someone has posted here somewhere.
well hopefully he figures it out or someone helps him out with it....its a good theme. and if he figures it out and goes system wide it could be a GREAT theme.
Up until this point, I've never seen a theme that looked slick enough to actually use, without being too niche. I've been tirelessly searching for a theme that just looked good, but wasn't too over-the-top. However, this theme struck me as just that, and installing it as my first theme, I must say I'm impressed.
I only have two complaints -- firstly, as mentioned, the top of the folder menu becomes distorted when selected. Secondly, I would like to see the blue color scheme more deeply integrated into the phone, replacing the orange color when making a selection, if possible. I recall seeing it in a theme somewhere else, so I believe it can be done. I know working with the .9. files are tricky, but I feel that with a little more effort, this can be an A+ theme.
Changing the music icons (Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists) would also be nice, if only changing the icons from green to blue.
Also, I find the background to be just a little too much. I think this one would make a good default; it meshes nicely with the color scheme:

Thanks all for the feedback, its appreciated. Ill definately fix up the folder bar and start incorporating some additional icons to the music window & player, etc. Ill post an update soon today with the changes for the folder.
Excellent looking theme, honestly its beautiful, but I always have trouble downloading from megaupload so maybe if you could change the filehosting site to something more convenient that would be awesome. Don't stop making themes, you clearly have a gift 8D
I generally don't post a lot of feedback. I have just recently started my first theme. And didn't feel that posting feedback till I was contributing to the site was truely justified. (My upcoming theme is a US Presidential theme. With heads of presidents as icons....hopefully I can manage it.)
Back on topic now. I love the theme. It is my newest downloaded theme and my favorite. My only notice is when you go "menu" "wallpaper" "wallpaper gallery" it force closes android desktop. When I choose pictures instead of gallery it works perfect. I know its small, but thought I would let you know. Even with this, I love the theme. Wife wants to know if you have it in Pink, lol. Keep up the great work.

One other issue I've noticed with the theme is that on the very, very bottom of the home screen, there's a bright blue line going across horizontally -- the top of the pull-out drawer. While this may have been your intention, I personally find it a bit distracting. Just my opinion. I feel the theme would be a tad bit better-looking if the line was simply not there, like with the stock appearance.

Lol, send me a screenshot.
As far as the arrow in landscape mode, I'll fix that up as soon as I'm back home. I'll have an update up at about 2am most likely. Let me know if you notice anything else so I can patch it up too. Thanks.
I'm so excited by all the great developer work to get us cm ROMs and wanted to try to contribute the best i can : ) (which isn't much)
Using the new CM ROMs I tried a metamorph by Cloverdale and loved it but thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to have android themed in both the newer Radiance and Ambiance?!"
Well I think so......so
These are a couple screenshots of the little work I've done so far(work not even worthy of being called work being as most of what's done could even be called copying).
The reason theres only two screenies is simply because the theme is FAR from done and in most use doesn't look very uniform. I'm VERY new to this and hardly even understand what I'm doing, or how I'm doing it lol
In fact the only reason I'm even posting this is because I'm self indulgent and want to see if anyone else likes this idea : )
Serious Props go to the developers that made cm available to us eris users (forgive me for not listing you all, just pm me if you want your name here ) Cloverdale for giving me the idea and to Stericson for giving me the tools to make it happen
I like light themes better so I'm staring with radiance but if i find out I don't suck, and can finish something like this, and people want it. I reckon ill try ambiance next. But first things first.
Edit:
Oh and if anyone has any advice they think may help me please privilege me with the information.
Use
sory for the double post but (reserved for later use) ambiance will be organized in the second post if/when i make it.
so far so good imo
i dig the simplicity of what youve done thus far.
Is this still being worked on? Not many themes with white status bars. Getting tired of the regular elixir by Cloverdale, I'll definitely flash this if you ever finish it.
I like it so far, too. I've been dying to MM some new themes to my phone and I think this would be great once finished!
Would love the Ambiance theme.
I notice that the volume icon is red, I would probably prefer the stock Ubuntu style which is to just keep it the same colour even when muted (at least on Ambiance). The battery too (although I think it does turn red like that when low, just isn't green when full).
Also the purple wallpaper but thats easy to add and the carrier name too that in the new CMs the text colour can be customized.
that looks great. very smooth and simple.
I love it! So simple and smooth. Can't wait till it's finished!
update
I'm glad to see theres some interest, I've progressed a little but been a bit busy lately.
The biggest things slowing me down is not knowing what all the pngs do, I've been changing them one at a time to bright purple then playing a short game of "Wheres Waldo" , and Ive no clue how to change text colors other than what spare parts will do. I've done a little googling ect but cant seem to find much on it - well...that i can understand - if anyone knows anything or of someplace that could help a newbie, I could use the help : )
Especially on the changing text and bg colors of like sms app, and dialer, in call screen, settings really everything, I want to make sure everything is uniform throughout.
Anyway mostly just making sure yall knew I'm still working on it, I hope to let out a half done version for everyone to play with soon.

Yea I can change the silent icon to black if everyone likes it better and the battery is black other than when its low. and i think I'm gonna try to resize all the Ubuntu wallpapers add them to the default android ones.
your changing the colors to purple? :-(
Hi everyone. My question is, is there any theme that have MS Windows 7 AERO effects instead of plain transparent effect. I am not a developer or advanced user, I am normal guy that appreciates all XDA`s developers and all stuff what helps us to develop and make our ANDROID phones simply the best. But no one from theme creators do not use WINDOWS 7 aeroglass effect instead of just trasparent. Why? Is it that hard? There are so many themes, but I can`t use them just because of transparent effect in expanded notification area or somewhere else where pop-ups comes with an information and I can`t see anything because the fonts are mixed to each-other. My sight is a little bit bad, and when fonts are on each-other I can`t read anything..... Is it only me complaining? Theme creators, do something please. I am more than confident that WINDOWS 7 aeroglass effect will be more attractive and better looking than the old-fashion and plain transparent effect.
I see. It is only me complaining. Nevermind.
This is an idea I have from my experience using themes on my Samsung Captivate. My experiences i describe apply particularly to the AOKP builds for that device and a few others. However the concepts are something which would be implemented at a system level and I think it would be applicable for any Android device, so I wanted to share it here in the general forum as well.
I like the color picker in Rom Control for ICS AOKP, but I was surprised that you pick and choose each color separately for clock, signal, etc. There is the hard-coded button to recall the ICS holo blue. I would love to see another button that stores a user selected color instead of copying and pasting the hex codes, although that works. And then the wireless signal is a graphic image that you cant change without flashing a .zip to modify system png and the like. I wondered if it could be coded to use a triangle with a fill color based on something from the color picker, and then lay over top of that grey or black bars for the part that should be 'off'. maybe layers arent possible? tho it appears that they are being used, and i have seen overlap of the data signal on top of the wireless bars. right? I know there is a LOT of stuff these amazing developers are working on which keeps them very busy already. These are just some ideas
I noticed looking through some of the code in AOKP gerrit for the theme chooser updates, that they started using variables instead of a hard coded ICS holo blue color. but it seems as if there is no user interaction for that color, its still a hard coded value set in a single location instead of being hard coded in multiple locations. So it is a huge improvement Im sure for themers who have to try to search out and modify every instance of those values. I would just like to see it progress to something where the end user can modify that variable from Rom Control.
It would be even more awesome if Android used a system wide style sheet setup. background, checkbox style, text color, font, font size, perhaps it could even include specs for headers, paragraphs, tables, titles, etc. but that would be WAY more than I am thinking. It certainly works nicely for web design tho.
This would then be something that other apps could also read and implement into their design as well. Then we wouldn't have to create hacked SMS and google play, and tapatalk, etc, etc, etc. to make them inverted or red, green, orange, blue, yellow, etc.
Of course having an option to over-ride those settings is cool too, maybe you want an all orange theme, but you want white on your keyboard keys. a keyboard app could have a selector built into its settings which allows you to follow the system setting or pick your own base color, or go with the developers default choice. There are a lot of great developers out there who make gorgeous apps that deserve to keep their defaults, ie. 1weather. So I am sure apps would ship with their own defaults turned on, so the user is guaranteed the experience they intended.
I do think these ideas seem inline with what google is trying to accomplish with their unified design standards.
I am imagining a day where I can change my wallpaper and then open settings, use a color picker (maybe even one that can pick a color from the wallpaper ... Then maybe choose black or white, or gradient or transparent background. Two steps, and just that simply and quickly my whole system is color themed to compliment. Then using Tasker this could even be automated for work, home, weekends, etc. LOL.
Ok iphone, take that!
OK so I guess 187 people looked and decided that was way toooo much to read.
LOL

Hi all
Does anyone know of a good guide that shows you how to create a theme for a galaxy s6?
I am wanting to make a theme that uses the standard icons, but has some darker colours in the sms/phone app.
I dont like the theme store AMOLED friendly / black themes because they dont have enough colour and we loose the defaut iconset.
Basically if i can take the standard theme and modify a few things I'd be happy
Whenever I try to search for answers, all i seem to be able to find is references to some elusive and unobtainable theme creation tool that samsung was ment to release back in April.
I am just after the tool or a guide right now, i dont want to add my themes to the samsung theme store.
foundit
Oooh looks like this site is now back up again
developer.samsung.com/theme#mytheme
Edit: Nevermind that doesnt do the job
It is a super basic editor that just allows you to add wallpapers and icons - it wont let you change the background and coloring of the sms and phone apps.
