OK I'm attempting to create a cm9 theme with icons from crYsises rom. So far it works the only problem I'm having is they appear bunched up and not spaced out. Does anyone know what to edit to give more spacing for icons in the task bar?
I'm not sure about how cm9 images are. But I would look at the image dimensions. the images from the crysis theme may be smaller than what cm9 uses. If that is the case and the images themselves look ok just close together then you would prolly need need to increase the size of the background of the crysis images.
Btw which images look to close together??

Its pretty much any of the icons that I add Like the data icon its all jumbled together maybe if someone knows how to fix it I could post the CM9 theme apk and they could take a look at it =). OK I'm gonna tryu rescalling all the icons and try again.
I got closer its still kinda bunched up though.
Go ahead and post it, I'll take a look.
Here is my modded theme file.

Ok looking at the screenine and the zip you posted the only images that really jump out that are off are the stat_sys_wifi_signal and stat_sys_wifi_signal_fully the ones in the zip are 39x51 and looking at several of the same images in other themes and ROM's the size is 38x38. I did resize a few of the images you posted and they do look ok after resizing. I would resize those images and see how it looks after that.
Thanks for your help another thing I wanted to ask about is on the mobile data the signal bars are ok but the signal type icon like 3g or h kinda sits on the signal bars would making the data connection type icons smaller fix this? HA I fixed it!!! It looks great now!!! I will post a screenie in a little bit
Making the signal type icons smaller would just make it worse and make it harder to see. By making the icons smaller you would also make the background smaller, in turn moving the icons further to the right. If those are the icons you want to use and just move them further to the left add a little bit of background to the right side of the icons, maybe 3-5 pixels worth.
I fixed it by moving the actual pixels of the png's to different corners of the picture and it works great now! DO you know anything about .9 pngs? I was trying to replace them with ones from crysis but it kept giving me an error. Very confusing but I think I got this.
Any chance anyone would know what to change for this red bar in the status bar? Oh and the time color.

Hi, sorry to post but i don't really know how to search for what I'm after
I just want to change the windows keys at the top of the bottom of the screen to solid black instead of the shiny grey gradient.
Can I directly change a graphics file? and if so where is it?
Thanks for your help

Is this not possible, I had a go with the Theme maker program, but then when I output to WM6 it retains the shiny black bars that I would really like to have in solid black

I think maybe you should search for a skinning program? or a skin that does what your thinking of.
Can you post a screenshot or picture to show exactly what you mean?
Or do you mean, bars like these?

yeah, how did you do that, there is no vertical gradient, i like that but i would prefer it all black
what skinning program will do that? does the program have to run in the background all the time or is it a one time operation to set the skin?

Hi:
After I installed a solid black theme, which I use, now the top and bottom bars appear solid in all themes with black bars. You could give it a shot. Not sure if it will work, but it will be easy to test. Just install the theme I attach here, then try another theme with black bars, and see if it works . For some reason it worked on mine.
Another way is to use a theme editor (I use Themegence), and use black bars for WM5, that too makes them solid black.
Anyway, I hope this works for you
Cheers for your help guys
I used UI Tweaker in the end, it did exactly what I wanted, then I used some other things I found on here to hide the top and bottom bars,now it looks perfect!!
This theme is based on OSX Leopard 10.5. It uses the Leopard status bar, status icons, and application icons. The dialer, clock, call window and boot screen have also been tweaked.

Looks good
cant wait to see whats in store
I definitely like the status bar. Will be interesting to see where this ends up. Good start!
looks nice! but, why is it called Leopard OS X? I dont see the default leopard Icons, which I love
Its called osx leopard because all the status bar icons (battery, wifi, network and signal) are all based of the menu-extras in Leopard. The status bar is also pulled straight from 10.5. Once I have the time, I'll add the osx icons for those that would like it (I personally perfer the stock icons so everything matches) and I'll also theme the launcher when I get time (probably monday, it's drinking time this weekend.)
that's a sexy notification bar. I look forward to this being released
love leopard. would like to see some leopard icons: folder and some icons of leo. The status bar is excellent! good luck mon
Updated 3/17/09
I like this allot, I love the mac look.
Ahhh, pls make no black clock, pls
UPDATED with download link.
BTW there is now a white clock
i like the theme but change the icons and change the status bar and pull up tab
nice themeļ¼thx
I'm digging the theme. I really hope that you continue with it (like skinning the dialer and other apps) , because it looks awesome.
If you don't, I'll probably just have to use the status bar with an aHome theme or something... please don't make me do that. =P
Can you change the Icons?
Here is a Package:
Mac4Lin
Thanks for the icon pack. I've been using that to take my mine off my hangover. I've updated the dialer as well. It's just a tweak, nothing major. I'm just trying to keep things clean. I'll post up a new Zip as soon as I'm finished switching all the icons.
Thanks for the feedback everybody.
this is a nice theme
Updated 3-25-09
looks good... i think a clock similar to the aero clock would look better with this theme...just my thoughts, i suck at theme making so who knows...

i agree..also change the pull up app tab doesnt fit in my view
and maybe put iphone 3g icons
I originally made this for by TP2 bretheren, but it should work on the Imagio as well (will know for sure on Monday, unless somebody wants to test for me before then).
Hit up the TP2 / TF3D section of my website (link in signature)

Can you provide a screenshot of this?
still getting a screen shot
only noticeable with clear tab not any of the colored or themed tabs
just when tab icon overlaps slider icon
still getting a screen shot
I had somebody else mention that on the Imagio as well..
Lemme play with one and see what I can find out
Just to be clear.. you are trying to to use the SenseUI for TF3D package that I made?
what is happening? I used this on my imagio and it worked like a charm check it out...

I was just thinking that if i get time i might clean the icons up to show up more crisp on our screens
Go for it...
and as far as the overlap.. I don't know what to say.
I tried this out on a stock Imagio here at work and could not duplicate the problem
If you are talking about the overlap in my pic dont worry about it. I took a screen shot while i was holding down the slider. That is not how it normally looks. And i tried editing but i used package creator to open the .cab and all i can edit is the RGU and the DSM. Ill keep trying
OH!
I thought that was the problem you were having with it...
Then what is the problem you first mentioned?
I didnt have a problem that was shaba10k. But i just wanted to clean up the edges a little of the icons. If you look at my screenshot they look like they still have some white around them. Or it just formatted the colors incorrectly when they were saved.
The slider icons worked great on my Imagio. I've seen screen shots of color icons for the Call History and Calendar items on the homescreen as well. Do you make a cab for this? Or does anyone know where I could find one?
The call history icons are around on the forums somewhere. I did not make them.
Lame thread title, I know, but I need someone that knows a lot more than I do to help out with a couple ideas I have... I have 8 themes out for 3 ROMs for the Moto Droid 1 so I'm legit... lol
IDEA 1: NO MENU ICONS - System wide though..

}
On this screen shot all but 5 of the icons are gone, just an enlarged text instead like the expanded menu... I left that 1 icon as a reference.. All I did was make the icons 10x10 and transparent and made the text bigger.. pretty simple. But all this will do is make all the system apks I theme have that effect.. but if a data/app is used, the pop up menu will have an icon AND enlarged, cut off text... Can't have that now.. My question is "is there a way to have the system bypass even calling on or using ANY menu icons across the whole phone?.. Like put an @null somewhere?... The idea would be cool and I wanna complete it so any help would be great....
IDEA 2: ANIMATED LOCKSCREEN/ PULLDOWN - No screen shots for this one but I'll explain it.. I'll leave the pulldown out since I haven't messed with it yet, even though it was my original idea back in December.. The concept to have both or just 1 of these run a cycle of pngs to create an animation.. like live wallpapers do, sort of... then themers could use those png's to create their own animations... it's something different and I think would be very cool....
In res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml the background is usually pointing to #70000000 for a 70% transparent lockscreen background.. I write in @drawable/lockscreen_background and toss a png into the drawable-hdpi folder cause I like having a set bg for my lockscreens... What I did is make it @drawable/lockscreen_bg, wrote(copied the stat_sys_upload.xml) a new xml named lockscreen_bg and put it in the res/drawable folder.. I set the duration to 200 and had all 6 of the test anim.png's listed just like the stat_sys_upload/download have, then I tossed 6 png's into the d-hdpi folder.. it compiles up fine and once applied, It reads the first anim.png but doesn't cycle them... upon some reading, I think I have to tell it to run() or start() the animation but that's a little beyond me.. the pulldown would actually be quite similar to the lockscreen background if that one is even possible... but it DID read my xml and read the first png in that xml so I think I'm on the right track.. I just need some help from anyone that has some insight into how animations run... thanks...
Okay, I've been working on a Viber style theme on behalf of my girlfriend using gosmstheme.goforandroid.com but it just doesnt want to work properly, often showing boxes around my speech bubbles or whatever.
Anyway I was wondering if anyone could quickly do it? It's driving me crazy, its basically the iphone theme built into gosms with a purple bar instead of a blue bar and a pure white background.
If no one is willing to do it, could someone tell me where on my phone the gosms themes are stored so i can edit it myself cos the online theme maker currently has lots of bugs.
Heres actual Viber:

}
The online theme maker misses exactly 1 row of pixels off the top of the purple top bar and shows a dark border around my bubble images making it incredibly ugly.
Can anyone help? I can upload the resources I made if anyone is interested in helping.
Heres how it looks so far. crap, in other words.
see? the png files become distorted as the are stretched and the boxes dont match up well. heres the resources if anyone else wants to try.

Anyone care to help?
I'm not sure if it can use 9patch files, which allows images to be resized without distortion. Google it up for more info and how to create them.
Also, remove the white backgrounds in the speech bubbles, and perhaps add some space around them
Thanks for the reply, I tried removing the white background but it didnt work (it showed up as light grey for some reason). I'll look into the 9patch files. Cheers.
Super short answer:
Edit: Those images were suppossed to have black lines on the borders, not sure what happened there xP
Use thoses as guides. Open them directly with Photoshop or other tool. Do not copy/paste. That could mess with the transparent background.
Short answer:
Those bubbles are way to near to the borders, you need to leave some space in there. As ock said, you should probabbly use draw9 too. In short it's a special kind of png images (9.png) that have a tiny transparent 1 pixel border which can be filled with black if you want to stretch them verticaly or horizontaly.
Long answer:
You could try the GOSMS Theme maker here http://gosms.goforandroid.com/?p=235, you need Java for that.
Just run ThemeTool.bat, configure what you want and then apply. This is going to generate a file called _signed.apk if I remember correctly.
Then you can use apk_manager to decompile it, all you need to do is place the apk (which you can rename) into the "place-apk-here-for-modding" subfolder and then run Script.bat.
That's going to show you a menu, the option you need to pick is 22 for choosing your project. And then 9 to decompile. When you pick 9, its going to make a subfolder in "projects" named "_signed.apk" or whatever you called it. You can access that folder and edit every single image in there.
The images you're looking for are inside "\res\drawable-hdpi", the names are
msgbox_other.9.png
msgbox_other_selected.9.png
msgbox_self.9.png
msgbox_self_selected.9.png
Those kind of files are very sensitive, the borders need to be transparent or black, if they're not, the project wont compile until you fix it. So, make backups a edit carefully.
Thanks dude.
