Some people over here made some nice themes for WP7 and I made in Photoshop some additional .png Icons to use for your favorite programms and games. Of course you can use them to make your own theme as well as long as you won't use my work for commercial work and when you release it, please mention my name. It is free but it is always nice to read a comment of course.
Also I made myself a nice blackish WP7 theme for during office hours which has no animations or anything, just the basic which looks stylish for at work or customers: You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655591
EDIT: 28-03: As it now really takes serious time, and it is over 10,000 times downloaded in total I created a donate button as signature. If you want to give me a beer, I am very happy with it;-)
VIDEO Theme modified, sorry for the little watermark in the middle, I had to convert from .mov to .flv for upload:

As everybody has other songs/contacts, from Music and Contacts I added a .psd file where you can change everything. Calender and home icons, change in Storage Card/Dock/Home
Overview .png icons click on image to enlarge:
For the home icons, you need to change the font of the unread messages to font 36 and place them in the right hand top corner, it looks great.
29-03: Here 55 High Quality Icons black squared. You can use them in a application pages or just replace the home screen ones of your favorites. Click to enlarge (if you want to see them bigger (50%), click the magnifying class when imageshack has opened the file, that way you see the quality the best, but still, it is 50% of the real size than)
As the zipfile is to big (8,7MB) to upload here I putted them on mega upload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E6DIZNOW
As I can't see how much it is downloaded please put a comment in this topic

wow, nice work!
I have much idea for this skin but I will integrate this icons now :d
can you make a game background page 2 and 3 for add game because a lesscro background is not empty
thanks you
well, I tried some backgrounds, but with all this big game Icons, the background is nearly gone of course. Here a low resolution sample of something you can do to make it not to crowdy...
Other idea is to make the game shortcuts the same as the programm shortcuts, than a nice background will look good.
Cheers,
Arnold

To make it a little viewable, please don't use this topic for questions to LeSSCro and his theme as he probably won't read it anyway. This topics is just for Icons you can use for this theme or other W7 themes. I didn't develop the theme, I just photoshopped some icons for it Thanks!
You can ask him everything on the forum he made for his theme:

music favorites
I don't know how I can use the music psd to make the music favorites, looks cool, can you give me a hint, please?
UPDATE POSTED in POST #2
your games and a few others are added to post 2, check them out.
About the music .psd file.
Do you have photoshop? With that programm you can open the file, change artist and song, save as a .png file and put it on your phone.
Than add widget in the theme, set this .png file as the image.
by "Script on tap" add " choose "play a sound file", change sound files to all files in the top and search for your .mp3 song on your device.
Select OK, and now in " Script on tap" Change "Play a sound file" to " Launch a program". Save and there you go.
You have to change it to launch a program otherwise he would not play the song. When you tap it Default Windows Media Player opens and he will play the song. Just close the Media Player, the song continues and you can go on working with the Lesscro theme ;-)
Good luck.
Cheers,
Arnold
Hey All
Here is my small contribution to this fantastic community..
iPhone carbon style icons inspired by iBOX fused with Blackberry style icons.
I designed these for use with iPhoneToday but may come in useful elsewhere.
All of the icons are .png format 90x90px. Please excuse the poor preview image.
Hope you Likey!
UK.Intel
PREVIEW & DOWNLOAD HERE
If you will make also the other parts of the theme it would be very nice
Looks very nice ,Thanks..!!!
Very nice, thank you! Can we request a few more icons please? Like BsB tweaks, Settings, Comm Manager, Coreplayer, etc., i mean the usual suspects.
Thanks
f.
The collection already contains icons for comm Manager, Settings and media player. Im sorry to say that i no longer have a use for these but please feel free to submit any work you wish to add. I have provided a blank template icon in the collection.
Shortly I have two questions about the sound and the folder icon:
First.: I have replaced the keyboard tock sound with my new files! But it is still the old sound active! Does anyone know why? Own lock and unlock sounds works fine!
Second.: Is there only a theme or mod pack available that replaces only the square sense folder icons by new folder icons (such as round jelly bean icons)?
Thank you Guys
Sony's Theme Creatorhttps://developer.sony.com/develop/smartphones-and-tablets/theme-creator/
Hello XDA!
We are the team behind Sony's Theme Creator tool - a tool that makes it easy for seasoned designers as well as for beginners to start making themes for Xperia devices.
A lot of people here on the team regularly visit XDA for one reason or another, and have been doing so for many years. For a long while now, we've been wanting to somehow connect with all the truly amazing theme creators for Xperia devices - the work and hours that you all have put into making themes of every color shape and size is truly astounding and is something to be proud of. Thank you, truly! (A big shout-out to everyone over at Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps!)
So - why are we making this thread? We would love to hear about your thoughts on the tool itself, as well as your suggestions, feedback and any bugs you might've found whilst using the tool. Having all of this concentrated into one thread makes sense, and makes it easy for us to quickly - and directly - answer any questions you might have regarding the tool or theming for Xperia devices in general.
Key Features
Code:
* A simple, attractive and logical GUI for every step of theme creation.
* An easy-to-use resource navigation view helps organize the large variety of
customizable interface elements (resources).
* A preview area in the tool to see screen views, helping you to preview your
changes on different Xperia devices/Android versions.
* Interface elements are editable using any image editor.
* If you are using Adobe Photoshop, we provide downloadable templates for use
with Theme Creator.
* A sophisticated, but easy-to-use 9-patch editor and a color picker, which you can use to
further refine your design, and adjust how each element looks in different contexts.
* With just one click in the Theme Creator tool, you can build, install and apply a
theme on a connected Xperia device. This allows you to quickly test and verify the
result of your changes on a target device with ease.
Getting Started
But enough of all that - follow these easy steps to get started:
Code:
1. Download and install Sony's Theme Creator, found [URL="https://developer.sony.com/develop/smartphones-and-tablets/theme-creator"]here[/url].
2. Install the current version of JRE from [URL="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html"]here[/URL].
3. Have some form of an image editor installed (Paint, GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, etc.)
- As mentioned above, if you are using Adobe Photoshop, we also have some very handy
[URL="https://developer.sony.com/develop/smartphones-and-tablets/theme-creator/how-to-work-with-templates/"].PSD templates[/URL] that will keep your theme project nice and tidy.
When you are done with your theme and having exported your apk and distributed it to where you like - feel free to submit it to Sony's Theme Portal
where we feature great looking themes for our Xperia users. (More info can be found here.)
That's about it; to learn more about how to get started with your first theme, we have some handy and more in-depth guides available here.
And to top it off, we also made a little introductory video on how to get started:
Thank you for reading, and once again - a big thank you to the entire Xperia community!

That's strange... What software version is your phone running? Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number. I'll forward this to someone who can investigate further.
Alternatively, do you have adb installed? If you do, can you please run the following while applying a theme:
Code:
adb logcat | grep skin
And post the results. The output should tell me what is wrong.

The phone software constantly changes, and each hardware version has a slight variation/uniqueness in software. With all possible combinations of hardware and software you have hundreds, if not thousands of different configurations you are targeting when building themes. One of the responsibilities of Theme Creator is to maximize the compatibility of your theme automatically to make it easier to support all these different configurations. As long as you use a relatively new version of the tool, most theme features should work "automatically" on most phones. Xperia X software contains some specific new features that we don't (yet) support, and it might (I'm not sure) have dropped some old features that other phones support. But in general, yes, everything should work as before. If you notice something or somebody tells you that a certain feature no longer works as before, please tell me and I'll look into it.
Thanks
Sorry, I do not have the Xperia C5. I got this information from the user.
I asked also that themes made by Sony work. (also not work)
Look on Sony Support forum link
In my opinion the problem is in SystemUi.apk in somc_skin_permissions.xml file.
But I'm not 100% sure because I do not have this file
I see the new versionI test and let you know
Thanks again
See You

Hi,
If you click the button in the preview you'll see the resource used at that location. In this case it is the "Global Colors / Light / Accent" color that is being used. The default accent color is slightly different on different SW/HW versions. For example if you activate Lollipop and Marshmallow previews side by side you'll see that the lollipop accent is orange while the marshmallow accent is blue. But if you customize the color in your theme then it should be the same on all platforms. So try customizing the light accent color and then the problem should hopefully be resolved.
If customizing the color doesn't solve your problem then please tell me which SW label your phone is on (Settings -> About Phone -> Build number) and I'll investigate further!
Buld no. is 30.2.A.1.21, mm... I already did what you said. And I looked at the themes installed from google play, the same issue in every theme! Why we've got preview of clock apk if we can't change it?
Amazing
###Suggestion###
Implementing themed components on the quick settings pull down...
- Switch icons
-Switch colours
-Quick settings background colour/image/transparency/blur
-Quick settings header colour/image/transparency/blur
I would love to see all these brought in because I was using CM roms and it looked great and also because the stock colour on the Quick settings look boring now.
can any one please share xperia theme creator v1.2.0 .I have been looking everywhere but no luck
Manually add theme elements?
Hi, since the Xperia Theme Creator does'nt yet support Android 7.0 (Nougat) I wonder if it is possible to manually add these theme elements. If it is possible I assume I would add these in the \.project\resources file, right? With corresponding .png files in \skins\[subfolder], of course. If this is the case, what do I name these .png files?
For example, how would I do to edit the magnifying glass icon in the apptrays search field? This is not a resource in the Xperia Theme Creator yet and must therefore be added manually (I guess?). What do I name the .png file? I would have posted an image showing exactly what magnifying glass icon I'm talking about, but apparently I'm not allowed to do that until I've made at least ten posts. Sorry about that, I hope you understand which icon I mean.
Thank you.

As most of the file names seem to be the same as they are in the system apks that are themed except prefixed with somc_, it seems obvious what you name them and where to put them but won't know unless you try. I would look in the home app for that icon and it's original name, generally the drawable-xhdpi-v4 is where to look first.

Hey, I'm making myself a theme in the theme creator app, and was wondering if anyone knows how to change the xperia keyboard skin, like to make my own skin/colors. I can't find an option in the app, is it possible?
If anyone knows this please help, thanks
(sorry for bad english...)
hi,
i'm new here and wanted to ask:
If Theme Creator supports when a custom rom is used (LineageOS)?
I've tested ist, but get the following Error, when try to install: INSTALL_FAILD_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY ... ... com.sonymobile.runtimeskinning._2:failing
Is it because the Custom Rom, or the Theme Creator generally works, but just not on Android 7.xx at the moment?
Does anyone know how can I create themes that include static wallpapers? All the static wallpapers of the themes I created are recognized as live wallpapers even though I wasn't creating any live wallpaper. I am using the latest, 1.3.3.
Hi All, I was asked to share/update my 8 bit sound pack with you all. I have been making and tweaking this same mod since IceCream Sandwich. I always enjoyed the simplistic 5 channel sounds of the Nintendo Entertainment System(NES) (80's Baby) and since I have 8bit icons, wallpaper, etc I wanted matching sounds. Any comments are welcome. If you have an idea for a better sound for a specific action or other ringtones or notifications, I am all ears.
Included in this .zip are all ui sounds, ringtones, notifications, and alarms.
Warning this .zip DOES replace your ui sounds, but DOES NOT erase your notification or ringtones simply adds some 8bit ones.
I used this mod with my OPO and been using it forever with stock rom oxygenOS deBloated .
I am posting now because I was tired of sharing links with people.
If anyone would like to take my little mod and use it in their work just give credit where credit is do..
Some of What is Included
PLEASE READ.....
THIS IS THE FULL SOUNDPACK IT WILL REPLACE YOUR UI SOUNDS WITH 8-Bit ONES, IF YOU WANT YOUR STOCK SOUNDS BACK YOU NEED TO REFLASH YOUR ROM(dirty flash is perfectly fine)
8-Bit soundPack with replacement UI
THIS ZIP IS JUST THE ADDITION OF RINGTONES < NOTIFICATION SOUNDS < AND ALARMS THIS ZIP DOES NOT REPLACE YOUR UI SOUNDS
8-BIT soundPack Notifications only
Thank you so much for this
excellent if there any 8pit custome thread upload.
