COOKs! We love you, but...

Dear Cooks,
We love you dearly, and we respect and value all the sleepless ours you spend on making our phones look and work beautifully.
But I think I'll speak for a lot of people here (maybe even a majority?) if I dare to say that we are tired of the perpetual darkness of every manila theme out there.
I understand that phone is black, and it's all-business, and black looks classy... but every single rom out there is ever completely black, or very dark. It's seriously making me depressed.
I, for one, use my phone at work so much that I'm starting to worry about buttons/screen wearing out. I sync with exchange and I'm all pro-work, but I still want it to be colorful and bright.
Browsing through our awesome collection of ROMs in this thread I can't help but think how much it'd benefit from having some brightly-colored themes cooked-in in the ROMs Manila.
Here's hoping that this could be one of the ways we can have even more fun with our devices,
Me.
P.S: Here's an awesome alternative to the eternal darkness in our Manila. It's not finished yet, and it looks like developers could use a hand.

yes, but u can install them afterwards
cant u

Nope, if you look at the official WM6.5 Theme thread, they are all dark/black. Some dark blue ones, and many poorly-designed/unfinished ones.
Besides, properly updating manila's design isn't that easy or reliable as changing WM's theme. A good, fully-integrated, fully-working bright theme is yet to be seen.

Have you posted a request for a bright theme in the "Rhodium...Themes and Apps" sub-forum?
I've seen quite a few colorful themes there, by the way...even if they're not to my taste.

Don't think I did, at least I don't recall.
There are no complete colorful themes. Bright wallpapers don't count - you can't read Manila's text on anything that's not black or very dark. Open a calendar tab to see what I mean.
If I missed some, please point me to it, but I don't think I have.

malina is not so good.

[Q] [REQUEST] GAIA10 theme for android

Hello guys,
The new GAIA10 theme was released today. I was just wandering if it is possible to make a GAIA10 theme for android. I am not a develloper in any kind of way, but this may be a good idea I think.
The people, and artists, behind the GAIA10 projects make a lot of people think about there personal footprint(s) on the earth. Environmentally speaking offcourse . I really, really love the theming and articles and movement and I am shure other people do as well.
Just an opinion, a request and without a doubt a nice project...
Best regards! (my writed english is bad, I know)

Do you have a link ?

How do you mean?
Gaia10 is a VS for the pc, but it could be a nice theming idea for the hero.. I am not a develloper of any kind, but I do support the idea...
Fore more info please visit www.gaia10.us . All the info is there.

[REQUEST][THEME] for Stock/Modaco ROM

Hey Everybody
Due to the unacceptable in-call quality of CM7 and MIUI on my O2X, I am forced to use Stock or Modaco. (Yes I have tried all RIL+BB combos)
Unfortunately the Stock/Modaco style looks like someone drank a lot of curacao and vomited inside my phone.
My theme request is as follows. Can someone please find/replace all the curacao vomit color with perhaps some gingerbread green and make a stock or modaco compatible theme? Bonus would be if menu items where all white a'la CM7.
I have no idea what the extend of this request really is, but if you come through on this - I will be your facebook friend anytime, perhaps even myspace.
Thanks
/Mikkel

Just in case no one is available to help out. You can always try to do it yourself.

Just a heads up. Since Nightly #177 in call quality has vastly improved. it used to be a dealbreaker for me too

[Q] Dialler display visibility on DarkUI (NamelessROM, Nightly 12032014) LG P970

Hello everyone,
First off, excellent job on putting out this fantastic ROM for our beloved P970. I much appreciate all the hard work by Evisceration and his hardworking team for keeping this old phone going with the latest version of Android Kitkat. The ROM runs very well and despite the small issues (video recording, sometimes videos don't play) this is by far the best ROM out there. :good:
That said, I have a small problem seeing the numbers on the dialler when in DarkUI (which I love to bits btw). I am unable to see the number being entered when on the dialler, as it seems on dark UI, the numbers color stay white even though it's on a white background. It makes it very hard to see especially when using the phone outside.Is there a way to make the numbers a different color from the background? I have the screenshots showing this on imgur, but since I am a new member, I am not allowed to post external links, or in the development thread. I hope you will understand.
Kind regards, and keep up the good work.
P.S: I hope I have made this thread in the right section of the forum. If not I hope one of the mods would be kind enough to move it to the proper location. Thanks.

[THEME]Full Theme Red/Blue/BrownGold Completely revamped 08/18/2015

This will work on any rom except AOSP and CM12. I'm posting this now so you can get rid of that stock UI, I'm doing about 3 more apk's then a much more formal posting will be put up.
I also themed the HTC 9 camera that is available, the M9 has many more features, and takes much better pics than the Google camera. A seperate link will be posted below. I did not create the Zip,and i take no credit for it's creation, I just themed it. I don't want donations, but if you can HIT THE THANKS BUTTON I would really appreciate it.
If you allow app updates for any of the themed apk's it will untheme that apk, so uninstall updates for that particular app and the theme will return, i've done lot's of app updates, and hardly ever do I notice a difference in the app.
I completely revamped this on July 26. Colors are better blended, and took out some of the Gold, and removed some red. Hope you try it out, you will be impressed Also, make sure that your main Google app is updated or it will FC after flash
Themed M9 Camera.
Framework
Contacts
Calculator
System UI
Dialer
Settings
Calendar.
Flash in recovery, reboot and enjoy.
Download Link for M9 Camera: http://d-h.st/8BRf
Link for both odex and deodex: http://d-h.st/z1IC
More APK's and a more formal post to come in a couple days. Attention to detail was a constant in making this, and it looks great on the phone. Hope you enjoy.

This will liven up your phone considerably

none

I don't see what difficulty / learning curve has to do with color scheme.

What does me not liking your theme have to do with my theme making ability (or lack thereof)? Next you'll tell me that I can't say "Nickelback sucks" because I can't play guitar.
You asked for thoughts... so I shared mine. If you're going to create things and ask for feedback, you shouldn't get your feelings hurt so easily.

I must agree with Ryjabo here. This is just constructive criticism coming from another graphical designer, but the color scheme is horrendous.
I do see the work you put in and everything you have themed and you have amazing potential to create amazing themes, just work on the color scheme to make it something elegant. This is an elegant device, the theming should represent and complement that designing style.
Look at other themes posted both on here and the Play Store to get some coloring ideas. Don't copy those themes, just use them as a base for your own creation.

ummm....
protip 1: avoid mixing blue and red [emoji14]
and avoid mustard color altogether
Thanks for sharing though, you have potential as a themer and with enough practice (and less contrasts in your color schemes) you could end up making some nice looking work [emoji106]

Musicman may not be a professional designer, but as graphic artists.... We should lend suggestions or constructive criticism to help him as he makes his way into the material based GPE rather then just calling it ugly. As @DarK_DemoN stated he has potential he knows how to use VTS and work his way through the xml, its just getting the color scheme down.

Is cyanide 5.1.1 ROM deodex or odex ROM? Trying to figure out which theme link I need to flash

Everything is so subjective when trying to determine what colors to use, what 5 people hate, 5 more people may really like so in a way picking out the proper colors is tough. If people took the time to flash it they may like it, a few screenshots can't paint the whole picture.
I don't mind at all constructive criticism, but to bark out "it's ugly" I must admit set me off a bit. LP was very hard to theme, and a great deal of time was put into that and I realize not everyone is going to like it.
Thank you for the input

Do the colors you like and if someone wants to use your theme they will. I applaud you for theming LP. Nice work.
