Holo hue/color variants - Android Themes

Hi,
I've been looking for a simple Holo theme with the default blue changed to another color (orange, green, yellow, whatever new), just this simple, one modification - with no results.
The only themes that get as much as possible are: blackout1911's Betterbean Themes, kroz's Hue and Quasim Zia's Holo-series, but even those suffer from additional, redundant changes (like changing default grey into color) which IMO negatively affect JB's great simplicity and legibility.
I know I'm not the only one looking for those themes, since I've came across others, posting similiar questions/request. I wonder why no such themes exist (or I'm unable to find them). Is it so hard to make a simple, colored theme? If it involves changing hue for only two shades of blue, then why is it so problematic? Isn't there any tricky way to automatically recolor the blues in majority of icons with some Photoshop macros?
Thanks for any help and comments, I'd really appreciate this!

Well I'm no themer ...but if hasn't been done its likely because you can't with the theme chooser app...may bee a flash able zip or learn yourself ...me on the other hand I use holohue ....but I have sorcery ROM who's devs focus on most customosible support that AOKP doesn't even come near and with bean picker theme for ROM that's an easy fix for me...good luck

That could be pretty close, if there would exist an option to change the icon colors (eg statusbar icons), not only the text/lines. As far as I can tell from the screenshots provided, the icons stay untouched.
Thanks, anyway, that's a step forward. I'm still waiting for other suggestions, though.

I have had a request for white. I may put up a poll here and see what colors come out on top and theme those. IDK I just threw this theme together so you had a choice and didn't have to give up serendipity to get some other colors.

white would be great! Actually, a white theme makes it easier to pair with wallpapers/icons and such.

White sounds pretty cool. I commented earlier about how adding a custom battery or dialer removes the whole theme. There is an awesome dialer that has most of the main colors you want, including red. Maybe this can be incorporated into the theme:

flashing that dialer will not remove the entire theme. I don't really want to incorporate someone elses work. I will eventually re write the kitchen to allow for battery mods.

You're right. I must have been flashing the battery mod at the same time as the dialer. I just got the dialer to work. I understand not using other people's work. Appreciate the replies though.
ChanceM is a covert Verizon employee.
Is there any way w can change the color of the sms app icon and thw phone and internet button on the launcher you red as well? I'm guessing you're working on a red version of the swype keyboard as well.
Looks awesome so far. Keep up the great work.

I don't want to ask about progressing this theme, as in some more red. Or ask about possible other colors, but I agree that a white/other neutral color would be a little more universal. I know you and Mikey like to keep it all original though
Anyway, I love this ROM and even more-so now with the REDROM
I'd vote for a white theme also.
ChanceM, have you notice that the requests for a pink theme are starting to surface??!! and i promise it is not me with multiple profiles!!!!

Just wanted to say thanks for making redrom. Looks really sharp. I think any color choice would be great. White, amber, cyan, pink, cyan, they all sound delicious

Is the Battery Circle Mod from the Screen included ?
Nice looking theme, thanks
Will this theme work on HTC Desire?
works and looks great on my nandroid HD2 with the rom in my sig
Its not showing up in my theme chooser . I've not moved it to sdcard .
@edint 3000
Very nice looking theme. Only problem I see is where you tap on the status bar, the date doesn't show up. Besides that flawless. Also is there anyway you can make one with a preview? So it can show up in theme chooser.

For those who are not seeing themes in the theme chooser, move slowly between themes and watch below. You will see it change to the missing themes, carefully stop while in between and you can apply the missing theme
Looks very nice. Also looks like it was built on top of rover's theme because it has many of the same images and bugs. Checkboxes on web pages are not shown in any browser when running this theme. I'm not complaining, just pointing out the bug. Thanks for the theme. One complaint is it would be nice if in the OP of these themes there is an indication that the theme is HDPI only.

Still trying to sort that one out...
Liking the theme a lot. A couple of gripes for me on an otherwise great theme:
1) Facebook widget is unreadable. The text park is dark grey, but the text is also grey, making it quite unreadable.
2) The network icon (the one that shows H, 3G, E, network type), the alphabet is a bit small. Maybe because I'm using an MDPI device, but it's really unreadable unless you squint really hard.
Overall, very nice. Been waiting for a dark blue theme

Look at the numbers above when you scroll. Lets say it jumps from 3 to 5. Then you know it's in there.

If not showing ..you can install a older version of theme chooser that was in CM RC2... and then it will show .. For some reason the newer versions do not show all themes
Wow, just beautiful!
Great job!

[REQUEST] Google+ Theme Chooser Theme

I finally took the plunge and bought the first $3 theme that I have ever bought, "Tha Plus" ADW theme. Here is a link to it on the Market. I instantly fell in love with it when I saw it, and more so after I installed it. Lovely hugely customized theme. But I will get to my request now!
I am currently using Lunar Ui Theme Chooser Theme with it, as it is the closest to matching as I could come. As I am going to be using this ADW theme for a loooong time, which is unusual for me, I would really like a Theme Chooser Theme to go with it. I am not comfortable enough in my skills yet to attempt it myself, as I am a novice in Android developing for now. All I have done is make a few widgets transparent so far, and even that made me nervous!
I searched the forum and didn't see any Google+ Theme Chooser Themes, so I decided to make a post here to see if anyone could help me out. I'm sure that I wouldn't be the only person interested in something like this, so it's for the greater good.
I'm thinking something similar to the Lunar Ui Theme Chooser Theme, only with the Google+ colors in it at the bottom of the status bar instead of the colors that are there already. The toggles in the pull down for Wifi and the other three things would be the Google+ colors in order. (Red, blue, green, yellow) Whichever battery, wifi, 3g, and reception icon styles and Google+ colors you think would look best. I currently have the transparency trick on my status bar, so having the bar be 50% or 100% transparent would be awesome.
I'm currently using the Droid font with the set up I currently have, and it looks great. I'll be looking around to find a Widget Locker theme as well, though I'm using Chromeless with it now and it looks fine. I have an eye for putting things together, but I need to start working on the technical aspect of it sometime when I feel better!

Ah yeah, that status bar is pretty decent. Maybe someone can come up with a nice one that's the right type.

[IN PROGRESS][CM7][THEME]Making a theme in progress...

itachi1706 and I(yes we are friends) are gonna make a CM7 theme! I am going to try my best in theming the icons based on Cyanbread so that it would look good on our OB. Yes i know i am not gonna win those popular themes like LunarUI and others but i hope that you guys would give us your support so that we would do our very best!
itachi1706 would be doing the coding for the APK while i would be doing the theming of the icons. I dont mind u guys use this for your other mobile devices running CM7 but I am only making it usable on HDPI and most probably look good on OB(I am not saying that it wont look good on other devices)
So we need suggestions coming from you guys like what features do you guys want to see on our device, for eg. Transparent or Translucent framework, middle-clock, icons for the different apps or maybe even stuffs i have not know of yet! Just tell me in the comments below and i will try to implement as must features of the themes u guys want into the theme!
Also I have already decided to make the edge glow bright orange! maybe i would be releasing other coloured versions too but that would come later! And I would not be doing ICS style as you all know there is alittle way too much ICS themes for CM7 or any launcher like LPP or ADW, so therefore i do not wish to compete with them and then lose out in the end saying that we just copied them or anything...anyway we dont want that to happen so we might as well just do something like LunarUI which is based on original and stuffs like that!
So I would like to hear from you guys soon!
Yes. We sincerely hope you guys will give us feedbacks of what kind of theme you guys would want for your phone. We aim to create a theme that is not only original but would be used by people!

Sounds good. I'll be happy to try it out.
well..if u ask me of it...i'll want to have a "Dirty" "rusty" "BOLD" kinda look to the black.
u know, the dirty icons, some translucence (not transparent!!!...believe me, it will initially look nice, but eventually it will intrude with the usage of the phone with the background getting in the way of visibility). i kinda like the bold look, like deep blue, always great black & white, etc etc.
the using of orange overglow is good, but u should have the overglow in the same color as the icons (it'll look streamline)....that all i gotta say.
at the end, wateva u guys make is good for me
after all, it's your first theme ...maybe u'll eventually start making themes like upwardspiral or sonnysekhon....all the best
happy trying
Center clock, semi-transperent status bar.
And widget buttons - keep the icons small as possible.
Rest coloring and effects.... that's upto you to come up with something different.

[REQ] Holo Light Theme for IceColdSandwich and/or AOKP/CM9

I am starting to get tired of the dark holo theme in ICS (for example in settings, calculator, camera, in the keyboard, statusbar, etc.) I have been searching all over the place for a white/light theme for the DHD but haven't had any success.
There is the Syk Sky theme for the Nexus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654546), after flashing my phone wouldn't boot.
The Reloaded ICS mod is fantastic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23275045), and my phone will boot and work with it, however it always crashes after about 3 min.
The closest I could find was Ghost (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681710), but I really miss the blue accents.
Does anyone know of a theme/mod for this? I have the feeling I'm one of the only ones that wants the Holo light, not dark theme.
I've tried to make it myself, but I don't know anything about programming on Android or the android resource management, so quickly failed at that. If anyone would be willing to make the theme I'd gladly pay money for it (although everyone like free themes ).
Thanks
Been working on this still a couple of weeks from completion. Not sure if this is what your talking about.

Cool theme! I was looking more for a "classic" ice cream sandwich look, with the accent blue, just not with a dark background
Absolutely agree. You are not the sole one, for sure. I'm second.
