I currently use a Moto Droid, without root.
I also use dxtop, a wonderful home replacement with few drawbacks.
I saw that a user here was turning many of your themes intended for rooted phones into dxtop themes.
Two examples are
Ghost Black, and Leather.
Ghost Black when used changes many of the system icons, like contacts and maps for example. Leather changes a number of things, but leaves icons alone.
I would like to be able to use the Ghost Black theme without it changing my icons. I like customizing icons individually using the functionality built into dxtop or using bettercut. It's not that i don't like the Ghost black icons, its just that i would like to have my app drawer contain only the original, stock icons.
I have Linux, the SDK and whatnot, but havn't really found too many resources instructing on how themes are done.
If someone could easily remove the icons from the Ghost Black theme and upload it that would be perfect.
I found a nice black and white theme but I absolutely loathe themed icons. First of all, since not every single icon is themed (there is always some odd program that does not get themed), second, I'm used to the standard look of icons and when all of them are square and monochrome I can't tell what's what, third and most importantly, when only some are themed and others aren't it just looks like crap.
So, is there some way to use a theme but not have it reskin the icons?
I can't believe I'm the only one who doesn't like when themes also change the icons for default programs.
Try using a stock adw theme, like a stock gingerbread theme or something. Thats what I do when I don't like the icons that come with a Cyanogenmod theme.
Touchpal offers a great dialer with plenty of useful features which manages to keep a lightweight feel and smooth functionality and I personally think its the best dialer out there.
However the only thing I didn't like was the theme, just doesn't go well with ICS.
If you guys like it, please support my work
Changelog:
Version 2:
- ASOP ICS theme and new icon
- Support for Lower DPI's (Especially needed for galaxy Note on 240 DPI)

Love the dialer, but icoon not. Green? Blue!
Thanks, I love this.
Frustrated you can get the AOSP Dialer on your favorite rom? This update will certainly make you fall in love with touchpal dialer!!!
Hello everyone!
I am a long time XDA user since the days of Windows Mobile skinning, under the name htctoucher. I'm now using the name aBbtdesigns (coming from Blackberry Themeing - see http://bbtdesigns.com) and am starting to create themes for Android!
It's been several years since I was active on XDA Forums, used to love this site, and am looking to get back into it!
I'll be posting some of my themes here, with links to the Market and my site (sig) so you can check out more if you're interested. Please let me know what you think, any requests, etc!
Enjoy!
PS anyone coming from windows mobile?

Your themes are truly amazing.
I did not buy one (i personally find themes that cost more than 1 euro expensive), but the screenshots are way more beautiful than any other skin i 've seen in the market

Hey Aftashok! I definitely remember that. Glad to see a friendly face on Android.
Thanks guys, I'll be adding more this week, perhaps some GO Contacts themes as well.
Any requests be sure to let me know!
any thoughts of doing any theming for SwiftKey keyboard?

I didn't know swiftkey supported themes, do they now?
Are you taking requests? I like how you make themes for both Go SMS & Touchpal so that they can match!
I'm currently using the Dark Swift themes (which match fine) but testing out the Dark Blue themes (which don't match quite correctly).
Can the Touchpal keyboard be changed so that the letters on Touchpal are Black instead of White (to match the SMS chat bubble). Also, the color on Touchpal seems off by a little but, possibly due to the gradiant. Can the Touchpal blue color be made a few shades darker to match the SMS bubble blue color?
Thanks!
ps - tried to email you, but don't know if you check or of it just failed to get there

Hey polstein!
Glad to hear you're liking the themes!
I just checked it out. I don't think I'll be doing black letters on the keyboard just for visibility issues.
Although I can look into changing the color to white on the SMS bubbles. What do you think?
Funny I never got an email, which address did you send to?
Thanks for the reply!
I sent the mail through the address listed in the Market (ok, the Play Store..grr).
I'm not even sure which theme I'm using at the moment, I've been switching around a lot and still can't decide on a keyboard. Every time I try to stick with one, things jump out that annoy me & I switch to another (then repeat). Touchpal is pretty good, but has some annoyances (and while updates come out regularly, the dev doesn't seem to be responding anywhere).
Mostly, I like having the keyboard & sms match themes. In the case of the Dark Blue theme, the black text on blue looks pretty good in Go SMS, trying to imagine what it would look like on the keyboard (black letters on the blue keys). Could go white text in GO Sms, but might be a small step the wrong way (and upset people using it already). Either way, please don't change just for me - I don't think I'm going to stick with the Dark Blue Touchpal skin, it's just too bright for me.
In general, the ones I tend to like are darker skins with color accents. (Perhaps a version of Dark Blue Touchpal - flipped - so the keys are black and the accent/letters are the blue to match the Dark Blue Go SMS theme?)
Finally, I made a feeble attempt with the theme builder to make a GO Sms theme to match the "Classic" touchpal look (grey keys with black letters and blue accents. I used mspaint to grab the rgb values of the skin & made backrounds & bubbles in Go Sms to match the keyboard.... and it looks like like crap. Somewhere in there, I'd love to see a Go Sms theme to match the Classic Touchpal look. I know you can do a much better job then I can
Thanks for any work you do!
I'll look into doing a classic TouchPal theme. Added to the to-do!
Also to note, nearly all our Go SMS themes are now $1.99!

Hey polstein
I have since rectified the email system.Seems emails were being withheld. All is working now! Email away
Read your post again today and I am wondering if you've checked out the Dark Phone Series. By your description it seems like it would fit perfectly into your request for black keys with blue accent highlights.
It's actually my favorite right now I have it running as I type this message! Have a look and see what you think!
www.a.bbtdesigns.com/dark-phone-series
It's currently available for Go SMS and Go keyboard. Coming soon for Go contacts.
I'm interested to hear what you think!
Best,
Kris
Wow....
This actually looks very nice.
I want to use it now
Try my theme Pure Dark 5.0. For EMUI 5.x users. Themed almost all system apps.

Excellent dark theme.... Currently using on an Honor 8 and working flawlessly. Thanks for the theme..
Thanks
Sent from my MHA-L09 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Chinese version, all the notice shows the following, can not see any text,
Thankjss

really amazing! THX!!!
Edit: ok, i tried the newest one of your themes.
Unfortunately, there is a little problem getting system notification requesters with it.
Some of them will have black font on nearly dark grey backgrounds.
BTW: Theme Editor works good for EMUI 5.
It is a problem notifications of individual applications. Some have white font, some black font. The bubble is therefore gray, both fonts can be read.
BTW, I dont create the themes in the application Theme Editor, I create them manually.

that was not the question!
But this apk is helpful to change some little things to my own wishes.
New version of theme. Bugs fixed.

ok,ok.. thx for the next build.
but for future builds, i recommend to use up counting version numbers! Like 5.01 -> v5.02 a.s.o.
Otherwise we will get different download links without possibility to see which version it is.
The theme is available at the Playstore now:

I was looking for a black emui theme, and yours is the first that i accepted on my device.
Your Total Eclipse theme (to support) was a shure buy, but i don't like it because it has no color .
Can you make a second one with same color as Pure Dark 5?
In the past i tried a black and white theme and found out that when used in sunny light i had very hard time seeing what i was doing. And because of this past experience I avoid to test another black and white/gray theme on my device. I like the green neon color of your pure dark 5.0 theme..
so i ask again : Can you do a Eclipse theme but with green neon color???
@hanniSK Just wanted to thank you for the Pure Dark 5.0 theme. Good job.
