This is a Tutorial for you to make your own themes and skins for MiXplorer. You can either start from scratch, or take an existing theme and change the resources used by replacing them with the ones you like. This is a very simple process and anyone can do it. You DON'T have to be a programmer or software developer.
CREDITS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
To begin with, a big shout out to @HootanParsa for an excellent File Explorer for Android, that is FREE on XDA, free of ads (and probably analytics & trackers too), extremely functional, fully customizable, and a very beautiful UI. @HootanParsa if you like this tutorial, please feel free to include it in the XDA thread for MiXplorer as well as in your Website for maximum reach.
Credits to all Theme & Skins developers, with special mention to:
1. @marciozomb13 : Because it is from his threads linked below that I came to know that anyone can customize themes and skins for MiXplorer:
Material
Fluent
My theme used for illustration in this post is just a small modification of his Fluent theme linked above.
2. @FatalBulletHit : For preparing an excellent illustration showing what each setting does. Check them out HERE.
3. @IronTechmonkey : For a full in-depth User Manual on MiXplorer and explanation of Themes and Skins.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEMES & SKINS
Customising the UI is essentially modifying 3 things:
1. Changing the colours (of background, text, etc.) - Use a Skin or modify from within MiXplorer Settings.
2. Changing the fonts - modify from within MiXplorer Settings or modify the theme.
3. Changing the icons (of folders, preview icons, etc.) and buttons - Modify the Theme.
THEMES: This allows you to tweak several aspects of the UI like icons, buttons, fonts, etc. It requires you to download or create several resource files that make up the theme.
SKINS: This allows you to only tweak the colours of a few elements and the fonts from within MiXplorer Settings.
The best part, however, is just anyone can create a custom theme or a custom skin based on his requirements by modifying an existing theme (like I did).
STEPS TO APPLY THE THEME & SKIN
You can either use any of my themes or any of the existing themes from HERE or HERE.
THEME
1. Download the attached .mit theme.
2. Open MiXplorer and browse to this downloaded .mit file and click on it. From the popup, choose Import. The theme would take about 3 seconds to apply.
SKIN
1. Download the attached .mic file.
2. Open MiXplorer and browse to this downloaded .mic file and click on it. From the popup, choose Import. The skin would be instantly applied.

THEMES
T1. Download an existing theme that fits your requirements the most. If it is in the .bin/ .mit or other formats, simply rename the file extension to .zip.
T2. Open the .zip file using MiXplorer or any unarchiver.
T3. ICONS: Look for a folder called ‘drawable’. This folder contains the resources for UI like icons, buttons, etc. You can replace these images with images of your choice, provided they satisfy the pixel size. For example, the only file I changed in this folder is ‘folder.png’ and I used a 128x128 pixel file downloaded from the internet. It is better not to delete the original files while replacing. Just rename them so they are available for use in future when needed. Bear in mind the following:
The new file should have the same name as the file that it replaces.
The new file should have the same extension as the file that it replaces. For icon pictures, this is usually PNG.
It is advisable to use a file that is very small in size (under 50 KB) or similar in size to the one that it replaces. A 128x128 or smaller pixel file for icons usually works well. If the file size used for icons is too big (over 100 KB), you may have lags and rendering issues inside MiXplorer.
In my case, I renamed the original folder icon (which was named folder.png) to ‘folder original.png’, and the new file I downloaded as ‘folder.png’. Likewise, you can replace any other resource file you want that fits your UI requirements the best.
T4. FONTS - Font file must be in .ttf format. Formats like .otf and others may or may not be supported.
Easy method:
1. Download the font you want and copy the full path of the font file. In MiXplorer, select the font file, go to Properties and click on the Path. This will automatically copy the path to your Clipboard.2. Under Skin Settings, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see the fonts section. Paste the path of the fonts file in that section.
Advanced Method:
1. Download the font you want.2. Look for a folder called 'fonts' in the root of the zip file.
3. Copy the font file into this folder.4. Open the 'properties' xml file in the root of the zip using a text editor.5. Scroll to the bottom of the file where you have the font section.
6. Simply replace the font file name there with the name of the downloaded file, without modifying any other information. Some themes use multiple fonts for different UI elements. If you want to change all of them, all you have to do is to rename the font file name mentioned there with the name of your file.7. Save the file and close the editor.
Under either method, MiXplorer will prioritise the fonts to be used in this order:
1. Font used in Skin Settings
2. Font included in the Theme
3. System Font
If you enter the font filename or path incorrectly in Settings, MiXplorer will first look for the fonts included in the theme, and if that is not available (because the font file(s) was moved or deleted), it will use the System font.
T5. Rename the parent folder extension back to .mit.
T6. Open MiXplorer, browse to the location of the above file, click on it & Import.
SKINS
Go to Settings/ Skins and press the Edit icon next to the skin that is applied, and choose 'Edit’ again. You will be presented with a huge list of customizable UI elements. Feel free to tweak any as per your liking so you get the look that you are happy with. There are too many elements that can be customised, so I will explain just the main ones (that I have tweaked) to give you an idea (see attached pics) about what will change:
1. BG_BAR_ACTION
2. BG_BAR_MAIN
3. BG_BAR_TAB
4. BG_BAR_TOOLS
5. HIGHLIGHT_GRID_ITEM
6. TINT_NAVIGATION_BAR
7. TINT_STATUS_BAR
Some additional info (no picture reference):
8. BG_PAGE: This will change the background colour of the main page.
9. TINT_POPUP_BG: This will change the background of the Sidebar and all popup menus.
Once you are done, press Save.
That’s it. You now have a new theme and skin of your liking.
For detailed understanding of all settings, check these out:
Picture Illustration
Spreadsheet Explanation
Link to my Themes and Skins: SA Creations
If the files above download as zip, simply rename the file extension to .mit (for the Theme) and .mic (for the Skin). Use any browser (instead of OneDrive app) to open the links and download the files.
Points to note:
1. Remove existing skin and theme before applying a new one. To do this, go to Settings/ Skin, click on 'Default' (1st item on the list). This will remove the currently applied Skin. Then go back to Settings/ Skin again and this time click on the pencil icon next to 'Default' and click 'Remove'. This will remove the currently applied Theme.
2. My themes REQUIRE the accompanying skin to get the intended result. So you have to import both before tweaking it any further to suit your taste.
I have used MiXplorer v6.49.3 from XDA. But the themes and skins work on all the current builds too.
You can find some fonts HERE.

1. SA Wooden Sepia
2. SA Reader

Are the changes limited to just the background colours or is there more to it (like a new set of icons, etc.)?

Quick way, if you don't want to edit an existing theme, or create one yourself. I've been tinkering with the look of my MiXplorer for years and still haven't created my own theme; only tweaked others'.
3-dot—>Settings—>Skins—>Pencil—>Edit, Scroll to bottom.
..and, as @marciozomb13 added:
"You must enter the absolute path of the font, any otf or ttf font is supported afaik."
..Hopefully the screenshot helps. You may notice that the font files I added are on my SD Card.

So here it goes. After over 250 hours of copying, editing, resizing, renaming, putting things together and so on...
At long last it is ready. Buuf THEME finally for HERO devices.
The amount of work was massive.
For your OWN ease of application i have turned this into a Metamorph Theme. So you need to download Metamorph from the market (free).
SO! Here are the pictures.

}
- THIS REQUIRED ROOT ACCESS. For those that DON'T have root access, you can only apply the ADW launcher Theme.
- As you can see there is a lot of working going on through there. I tried to make it easiest to apply by creating this via metamorph. This means that WHENEVER an update for your rom comes, you dont have to wait for my update, you can just *simply* apply the metamorph zip and you'll have all your Apps buuf'ed. The only thing i couldn't metamorph yet was the framework-res file. I am planning to integrate that very soon, but at the mo', you're gonna have to apply a .zip via your recovery.
- Also, i am using ADW Launcher. There was a theme named ADW.buuf.theme in the market. That was not working with my rom causing many FC's, so i stripped it down, recreated it from scratch and added a ton of new app images. I have added a lot of default values that suited my liking (highlight color and so on). If you dont like those, simply change them via ADW Settings. ALSO, i have used some code from Eliotstocker to make this theme have some wallpapers. Simply change wallpaper and you should be greeted with a "Buuf Picker" option. In there i have included some of the best Buuf wallpapers.
- As you can see, I have applied a Circular Battery mod (credits to the creators). If you dont like it, simply go to the kitchen and create another mod. It is included in the framework-res.apk zip file
- I am using an edited font, extracted from the Galaxy S by Alex.
- I am also using LCD Density Changer. My setting is @ 139.
- Finally, i am attaching a small .zip file with the bootanimation i use (credit to the creator - sorry don't know who you are) with some amazing boot sequence back from the energy BIOS days, PLUS ad-free hosts, ridding you from the annoying ads.
ROMS
This is initially created for FroydVillain 1.5. The metamorph file should be applicable to ALL AOSP 2.2 Roms for ALL MDPI devices.
The only limitation at the moment is the lack of integration of the framework-res.apk file.
Instructions
1) Download Metamorph and install. Make sure you disable autokiller, in case it kills metamoprh while updating
2) Create a folder AndroidThemes in your SDCard and put the BuufMDPIApps.zip file in it. Apply.
3) Reboot to recovery and apply the framework.zip file
4) Download ADW Launcher and install my edited Buuf Theme. Go to ADW Settings, Theme Preferences, Load and apply.
5 - Optional) Apply fonts.zip via recovery - Credits to Alex
6 - Optional) Apply myboot.zip.
Caution: During the metamorph application of the theme, your phone is going to FC a lot, and sometimes ask for your pin. Please do apply the zip until it is totally done (if it stops, redo it), dont let your phone sleep, and please interact with the FC/SIM lock screens.
Uninstallation
Simply flash your ROM zip file on top. No wipe needed.

Donation
- This complete theme pack wasn't created for money. It was created to make the Buuf Theme live on for the MDPI Devices. All credits are due to the people stated above.
- However, i have put into this over 250+ hours of work. And for those of you who have never themed, well all i can say it was really a pain.
- If you feel like buying me a beer for all the hard work, here's a link:

Changelog
19 Sept 2010 v1.2.1 - Initial Release
Requests
Requests for unthemed apps are welcome. Glitches and FC's, as long as distortions, should also be reported. If you wish to have your app icon changed in ADW Drawer, give me the app name, or even better the activity name (check it out via adb logcat, while launching the app) and let me know what kind of icon you want.

This as AWESOME Because you've done so much work on this also i reccomend you put it in the legend,eris and Hero CDMA forums because it should work on all those devices to Thats if you havent already
Once i get rid of the framework-res problem with metamorph i will post it under Android themes, and separately to MDPI Devices.
Thanks for the comments
hi!
the theme is looking great,awesome work!!
but i get an error when i try to extract framework-res file from recovery,i get an error that the file is corrupt or something like that...what could be the problem?
thanks!
Very good job !!
It works perfectly on Froydvillain 1.5
Just one question : what is your clock&weather widget on the screenshots ?
I am terribly sorry, i think i've put an unsigned framework-res.apk file. I shall update soon.
My clock is Beautiful widgets, with the ANDRODena_Buff clock skin and EmotiSun Weather skin.
edit. I updated the framework-res.apk file, although i doubt it was unsigned, on a second note. Perhaps your download was corrupted. Redownload and let me know please
PS. Thanks for the nice comments guys.

framework-res.apk is a system apk and does not need to be signed

My particular framework-res.apk is modified. It includes the circular battery mod, which not only changes png's, but also adds a few xml files. So yes it does indeed need to be signed. The apk itself cannot, but the .zip needs to be signed with test keys, allowing for the modified framework-res.apk to be extractable and allowing recovery to apply it.

Why were you reffering to the apk before then? Anyways doesn't matter
phone keeps rebooting at gmail.apk floyo 0.8
Looks great, I will be installing on my lunch break
One question - what difference does the LCD Density app make, and why choose the density you have ?
@shields - try to manually update the rest of the apk's. My phone rebooted as well on Gmail.apk. perhaps you have autokiller running or something. Choose Apply existing theme, select the xml file, and manually update the rest apk's
@furrypotato The difference LCD Density app does is that it makes the screen look like a higher resolution one. For example, i can fit 5x5 (columns x rows) instead of the classic 4x4 MDPI devices have. My setting is just something i have found to work fine, and dont have too many scale issues with my apps.
Installed it and loving it.
A very different theme for me to use that's a refreshing change
Thanks
Thanks for the nice comments.
Please feel free to propose any new features.
Whats the best method of adding custom icons ?
I only had a few minutes to look before I left for work but I took a look on Buuf website and found an icon I'd like to use for Tweetdeck. (Fauna #13)
Now I'm guessing I can amend the xml file in the zip in some way and place the icon.png file in folders like the others, but is there an easy way of doing it ?
I even bought beatiful widgets cos I love the themes so much
Oh, and I updated to the new Gmail last night and it's broken some of the gmail graphics such as notfication of emails.

There's no way of adding custom icons yourself. That's how i tried to do it as well. But it doesn't work. You have to create the APK from the beginning, and thats what i had to do. Took me nearly 3 days of non-stop work to remake it.
I, unlike the original creator, will intent to update the icons when asked. So let me know what icon you want for what app, give me the activity name if you have it and i will update it.
I haven't had an eye on the new gmail (as a matter of fact i didnt even know it existed). I will look at those on the weekend, as the following two days i'm taking 3 exams and my head's about to explode.
Let me know though.
Cool thanks.
I'm looking to get the attached icon added to TweetDeck Beta . Dont know activity name sorry (Whats best way of getting it)
Tweetdeck beta in case you need it :

New Gmail is downloadable in market by the way.

[UPDATE 6/11!!!]MIUI BATTERY MODS & MIUI Dark Theme Vari-Theme Manager Compatible!!!
I got bored so I made some battery mods for MIUI. I added a theme (NEWTASK650 Dark) that i made off of the MIUI Dark Theme that i use along with some screenshots for anyone who likes it and wants to use it. It's a variation of the MIUI Dark Theme. Here's the original theme thread for it http://www.miuiandroid.com/2011/05/miui-com-official-dark-theme-consent-given-to-post/. Just download and check the previews to see more. I plan on trying to make 2 new batt mods a day if my schedule permits it. Make sure you go to Settings/System/Battery Settings/Battery Indicator Style and choose Percentage. Otherwise you will not see the battery.
BATTERIES CONTINUED IN POST #2 WILL TAKE REQUESTS!!!
These will only change the battery icon. NOTHING ELSE.
Download the .zip file you want to use, then extract the .mtz file, then FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
HOW TO APPLY
-Put on SD card
-Open Theme Manager
-Hit Menu soft key button and select Import Theme
-Select the battery theme
-Select EDIT THEME

its really easy. the systemui.apk can be found with the app root explorer. if you want i can just pack it in the systemui.apk myself but you would have to use root explorer to change permissions and drop it in system/app

sure that would be fantastic if you wouldnt mind.
I read somewhere, that you have to like open the theme.zip and go to frame/res and add it there, but of course that didn't work.

Yes I have Root explorer.. And thank you so much
here ya go bro. so now all you have to do is open root explorer scroll down to sdcard file click on it find the systemui.apk and long press it, select permissions and on the first line from left to right check the first 2, the middle line just check the first one and no others on that line, on the third just the first one also. it should look like this.
x x -
x - -
x - -
the x's are the ones that are checked and the -'s are the ones that shouldn't be. hit ok. then long press the systemui.apk again and select move then hit the back button. find system file and click it the app file and click that then hit paste. you're done. hold volume up and power for about 10 seconds and it should reboot and you're good.
Ok so I did exactly what you said but it isn't working. Battery didnt change. So I tried again, and when I moved the file I checked the permissions again and they change. Its like it isn't saving the permission changes I am making. It IS copying and replacing the file in the system/app folder, but it isn't showing up.
edit> I wonder if its because I am using a custom theme?

You need to replace the images in the theme then. Are the statusbar, wifi, and data icons changing too? If not then the theme description needs to be changed too so those icons and the battery icons can show up too.

I have tried 3 different themes to see if it made a difference and none of them change the wifi, data, battery icons at all.
So what do I need to replace and where?
Thanks for the help btw guys.

Take your theme. Zip it. Click on the zip and you will see your theme name. Double click on it and then it will open a new window with all of the theme's files. Find the systemui folder, look for a raw folder inside it and then replace the battery images with the one you want.
For the description file, you should unzip the folder area so you have the file on your computer. Keep the zip windows open, but go to where you unziped the folders. Click on it and edit the description file with notepad or something else and add this right before the last line:
<uiVersion>1</uiVersion>
Save it and replace it with the one in the zip (you can delete the folder on your computer if you want, since you don't need it anymore).
Make sure to save the changes to the zip file. And then can exit out of the folders area, and drag the theme name out of the zip file into your phone's sd card.
here ya go. good to go!

wow so you won't believe what the problem was the entire time. I actually went into the system/app folder and made a back up of my existing systemUI.apk, and actually I just renamed the original to be SystemUI-original.apk and then dropped the new on in. Problem was it was still reading that systemui-original.apk as being the one it wanted to use even though I had renamed it. So I went in and deleted the original, and as soon as I did I got the FC system errors... rebooted and tada it works fantastic. How weird.
Thanks for all your help

images and theming including battery icons
FYI, we dont have to go to troubles of modding SystemUI.apk
Just make an mtz file and drop the battery mod images in the same structure as the apk. Then drop the .mtz file in \sd card\MIUI\theme and apply it via thememanager
com.android.systemui\res\raw
Same goes for many other apps including the MiuiMusic.
See sample attached (though i'ved pick a not so good image, LOL, whatever i see first in my pc, ha ha ha)
extract the .mtz inside the rar attached
EDIT:
I provided the info because every week MIUI 2.3.3 has some changes, so it's not likely we will be modding the systemui.apk every week just to have the battery icon changed. you can just make it available readily in the sd card using mtz theming
e.g. samples for title
Battery Mod Circle
Battery Mod Cool
Battery Mod Wow
The title can just be change and other folders not needed in my mtz removed. Image attached showing how i use your battery images to try the MTZ file. You can just make a bunch of the MTZ file and post it as themes rather than flashable or overwriting APK

so do you have any suggestions on how i can make this thread easier for people. should i just throw up a com.andoid.xxxx file for them the drop the new battery files in themselves and advise them to throw that in their theme mtz file? thanks a lot for your input. and... would you mind if i put the info you gave me in the OP?

I Don't mind it al all bro, no problem, i was looking for a battery image then i came accross this thread. LOL
It will save you trouble in modding the systemui.apk every week if the deodexed rom has changes, it always has changes anyways (in patches only), now that they are revamping weekly, (at least for now) .
Here's on the top of my head as the idea
1. You could make many MTZ as i have mentioned. Copy what i have posted.
- battery mod 1.mtz
- battery mod 2.mtz
etc..
2. Each mtz will have same structure. Use winrar to change the file
3. description.xml contains the title of the theme. do not use weird characters as title
<title>Battery</title>
<author>Your name here</author>
4. com.android.systemui is the folder your battery images should go. Should be the same name too as what you are doing overwriting in APK
The images will be under com.android.systemui\res\raw
5. If you also want to change the toggle icons, put the images in com.android.systemui\res\drawable-hdpi
- You can even make a preview of it in the preview folder
- You can also remove the mms folder there
6. Put all the modded images and folder in the MTZ file
[HowTo] Mod a Theme - Huexxx's Battery Icons / Circular / % / Multicolour & more ...
Hi all!
Given that I wanted a circular icons for the battery indicator on my OB, and that the only way to get some icons to my taste was making them for myself, have encouraged me to create my own icons. My icons have a smooth transition of color from blue (100%) to red (0%) through green (75%), yellow (50%) and orange (25%).

v1 3D icons with darker background (like radio signal strength) and 14p numbers!
v1.1 Enhanced 3D icons, rounder, better shadowed, numbers better centered!
Radio 3D icons v0!
WiFi icons v0. (with darker background like radio signal strength)!
Wifi 3D icons v1!
Dropdown Arrow better visible for WP7 Theme!
New! V10E Stock LG Theme modified with my v1.1 icons:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx10EBatt.zip
NOTE: In case of troubles, post here and then we will see the way to restore original framework-res.apk.
Since at the moment I have no intention of creating a complete theme, the only way to enjoy them is inject them into an existing theme, such as those offered by the Theme-Master antonio1475.
To say that until the date, antonio's WP7 Theme is the default Nova theme, so if you have Nova rom and only want to inject my icons, use WP7 theme like explained in this thread.
This tutorial will explain how to inject my icons on antonio1475's WP7 theme, but the process is the same for injection into any other existing theme. It is important that the theme comes with icons for each percentage value of battery charge. In the tutorial everything is done with WinRAR, but can also be done using 7zip.
First of all, the changes explained here work perfectly for me, but I am not responsible for the effects it can have in your case.
1 .- We can download the latest antonio1475's WP7 theme from his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176182
2 .- We can download my pack of icons from here:
Battery v0 - Normal icons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v0.rar
Battery v1 - 3d icons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v1.rar
Battery v1.1 - 3d icons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v1.1.rar
Radio 3d v0: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_Radio_Icons_v0.rar
WiFi v0: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_WiFi_Icons_v0.rar
WiFi 3d v1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_WiFi_Icons_v1.rar
Clearer Dropdown Arrow for WP7: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/clearer_dropdown_arrow.rar
3 .- Put the two files in one folder. It is not necessary but it simplifies things.
4 .- Open the theme with WinRAR by double-clicking on it (in this case WP7themev8final.zip). WinRAR must be the default program to open zip files. If it's not your case, you have to open WinRAR and then find the file with the inside browser and open it. This will open a WinRAR window showing the contents of the package with the theme.
5 .- Navigate within WinRAR to the folder \system\framework
6 .- Open the file framework-res.apk by double-clicking on it inside WinRAR. This opens a new WinRAR window with the content.
7 .- Navigate within WinRAR to the folder \res\drawable-hdpi
8 .- Open my package of icons (Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v0.rar) with WinRAR.
9 .- Select all files within the package of icons and drag'n'drop them to framework-res.apk WinRAR window in order to replace the icons.
Once done, we can close the WinRAR window with the icons (Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v0.rar).
10 .- When a dialog to define how to include the new files popups, accept to continue with default parameters.
11 .- Once the new icons have been included in framework-res.apk, close this WinRAR window. The application will ask you to update the file, and you have to accept. Maybe it will ask you to update before close the window, anyway accept and then close it.
You can see the date and size changes in framework-res.apk looking at theme's WinRAR window (WP7themev8final.zip).
12 .- Close the theme's WinRAR window. You can see the date and size changes in WP7themev8final.zip looking at file browser.
The resulting file WP7themev8final.zip is the original theme with the modified icons, ready to install.
Instructions for installing the theme are the same as the author specified for its installation, so read carefully the theme author's thread.
In fact, the theme used for the tutorial can only be installed over Nova ROM or stock 10C ROM.
I recommend you to deactivate the widgets and to run the original launcher (if you use a different one) before flashing the theme, as in my first attempt I had to deactivate and reactivate the widgets, and reconfigure a little the launcher after the flash. After installation, in my case, the first boot stucked on bootimage (several minutes) and I had to remove the battery and restart, but finally everything is correct. Following this recommendations, the second attemp worked flawlessly.
Take a look of some screenshots with the result.
v0:
v1+wifi:
v1.1+clearer dropdown arrow:
Best regards, and if you like them, click on Thanks!
To say that all the procedure above explained can be used in order to modify any .png inside theme's apks.
Be careful with .9.png files... ir must be recompiled and it's more difficult.
For those who wish to use my icons in your themes, it's very simple:
- Ask me for permission
- Include me in the credits
So many thanks to antonio1475, without his help this would be impossible!
Hi again...
Despite not having had any response, I will continue with the project because it is primarily for myself.
I've updated the main post with a new 3D version of the icons and some icons wifi, same as included in antonios1475's wp7 theme but with darker gray background, like radio signal one.
Regards!
They look great!
Maybe you could ask for antonio1475's permission for you to inject your theme mods and then link the finished repacked theme from his base project.
It would be totally at his discretion though

Hi all...
I've observed that my new 3d icons weren't as circular as I would like, so I have decided to touch up them.
Now are rounder, better shadowed and thay have the number better placed in the centre of the icon.
Also, I've added a new dropdown list arrow in order to modify original WP7's icon because IMHO it's dificult to distinguish the black arrow inside the dark grey gradient circle.
Regards!
Hi again!
I've created new Radio 3d icons.
They are inspired in WP7 theme icons but now in 3d.
You can see it at first post.

Without flashing what... another ROM?
Antonio's theme seems to run over stock 10C (the baseline of actual nova). If you have that stock ROM, you can try...
... but... if something goes wrong... stock ROM doesn't have the keycomb to access recovery... and you would reflash with LG stuff...
Select the theme you want to modify, and read troughly the thread in order to know if the theme goes well with your ROM.
When I would know how to modify .xmls, I'll complete the thread with base themes of the different stock ROMs to modify them.

Guide Screenshot 2
Then you will see the following window. ( Description in screen shot )
Guide Screenshot 3
Buttons
All the buttons are self explanatory but i will add some description where needed
Save : This is to save the changes made to the projects.
Generate full MTZ : This is used to compress and make the mtz file of the theme project to be used in phone
Apply Recent Changes : For this and next option to work your phone must be connected to PC. this option apply the recent theme changes to your connected phone (Useful when testing a smal change).
Full apply: This option apply the Full theme to your Phone.

Setting: Have only option to copress the font if you want.(Have'nt used it).
Differents Tabs and their Functions
Now Some information about diffrent Tabs and options on them.
Description Tab: Already explained in screen shot shown above.
Icons Tab: This tab is used to add icons to theme. When you click on the icon tab it have three further tabs, System icons, Default theme icons and Others. Before you proceed further Click on Sync button at the bottom of the icons. (Your phone must be connected in debug mode to the PC) This sync option will get all default icons from your phone including 3rd party apps. Now to change any Icons check below.

Guide Screenshot 5
Creating New App Module
Here is how to create the App's theme module.
Guide Screenshot 6
As an example I have selected the Contacts module (only one module at a time). you will see screen shown below , if different then click "change edit mode" button.
Guide Screenshot 7
Now click on the first item in the folder view and follow the screen shot. again names of your png's doesnt matter. you have to go through all the view and find the red boxes, click on it and repalce the png's you want to change. If you want to keep the system default png just leave it blanck.
Guide Screenshot 8
For modifying PNG's you can use the V4_templete (link at top) png's as a refrence. you can edit them to your requirements and then use them.
Changing the text Color
To change the text colors of the module items, click on the "change edit mode" button while contacts module is stille open. see bellow.
Guide Screenshot 9
Guide Screenshot 10
Do the same procedure for all the Modules and PNG's and color's in it. Framework-miui-res and Framework-res are most important modules. Changes in Framework-miui-res effects all the MIUI applications, especially colors and Changes in Framework-res module can effect both MIUI apps and any other 3rd party app so be careful !!!! you might get white on white color problem.
Note: You dont need to recompile your 9.png's. just add contents and strech borders using the "NinePatchEditor" or sdk Draw9Tool. and thats it put it in the theme and compress the theme and it will do the rest.
Testing
Now its time to test your theme before release/share. You should test all the MIUI apps for proper theming as well as 3rd party apps for color problems. If you find any problem then just reopen or drag drop you theme directory on Theme Editor to reopen /edit your theme.

I don't mind the bad language, I've had a guy with worse English on my team, so I understand. About the text, yes it will get a bit stretched and will not look very nice. So what you can do is maintain three or four resolutions only, like highest, lowest and two which are somewhat in between. This should reduce the effort required.

Looks great. Can you create some simple, minimalist splash screens that replaces the not so attractive one in 3.0? Some that mimic your team win recovery project header in your theme and that match the theme color schemes? I would prefer that you just add it to the zip! See attached.

Looks great. Can you create some simple, minimalist splash screens that replaces the not so attractive one in 3.0? Some that mimic your team win recovery project header in your theme and that match the theme color schemes? I would prefer that you just add it to the zip! See attached.

Have you ever been to @z31s1g's theme thread?? He clearly told that the splash is now XML controlled, and therefore one static image should be tough to use as a splash.

Yes and that is why I am recommended that the developer who created this work up something. I just used that singular static image as my preference for simplistic and attractive design. I know that the particular file that i attached would not work. Just an example of minimalist design.
It is possible....

Splash looks good! Thanks.
@andii_nr
Hey, you forgot to change the theme version in the "dark - light - play" themes, look into ui xml, it's written 287x_v2, i changed it in my themes, it's not really important but I say you. If you want, i fixed it in the zips below, you can take them if you want to update them.
