Since you're so responsive D_d which is great I would like to share some info.

I've noticed some unusual behavior of transparency in the app called MortPlayer Music it can also be the app's fault but when using other themes like Cyanbread there is anything fine. You can see from the attached image how it looks like. When going into setting of the app, everything is fine, but when choosing a sub settings menu it happens what you can see from the image.

This issue isn't bothering me much but it might help you out by seeking the source of problems regarding transparency and performance.

The other thing is concerned with YouTube app. When watching videos it's a bit unpleasant to have the dark border around the video transparent, especially when using brighter wallpapers. It would be better to see it solid black as it was before.

But for now I have to say that the 2.4 version is working quite well. Although I prefer not using it because of the performance problems connected with transparency but I'm still using your awesome morph!
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello jankoboys6,

The issue you refer to, is something that cannot be fixed. Mortplayer is using "Theme" style in both main menu and submenus which is not affecting a normal theme's view but in a transparent one it causes the visual problem as seen on your screenshot.

For the youtube application I already had a workaround for the transparency, but I wanted to know what Crystal users think about it.

Maybe 2.5 will have a solid background for Youtube, in order to make it more appealing and easy-to-use (however this will take effect in the whole app and not just the video screen).

As for the clipping in settings menu, I'm afraid there's not much to do. The issue is located in the background's rendering.

I've tried the theme in smaller screens (on my x10 mini, 2.6") and the scrolling is smooth and very fast.

I just switched over to CyanogenMod on my D2G. DaRk_dOg, this theme is simply beautiful. I'm still trying to get the morph to work, not sure what I missed there.

Anyway, I'm a LauncherPro user and really love the theming done on the LP widgets and icons. Is there an icon pack somewhere for apps without icons standard in LP (apologies if this is already posted)?
[Android Themes] luciferii:
can you please make an icon for sprint voice to text mail? sprint Vvm. thanks
[Android Themes] bosstab:
I mean not the morph itself, it's the labels on it, it's different..instead of reboot as the option it is different, :)
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello zse45tgb,

Thank you for your kind words :)

There is no icon pack, due to the fact that I prefer to theme icons straight through the theme.

What seems to be your problem with the morph? (you are using HDPI version right?)

Hello bosstab,

This has nothing to do with the morph. The wrong labels are located in strings.xml (frameworks-res.apk) which is non-related part to Crystal or the morph.

For this issue, you have to contact your rom's developer.

Regards on both, D_d
[Android Themes] p-daddy11:
Awesome theme!!!!! can you add an icon for Google music, the headphones one? If not it doesn't matter It's Awesome! I just downloaded the backgrounds so I can ad them to apps like messaging so it will all look the same! Thanks!!!!
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello p-daddy11,

Google music 3/4 cannot be themed, due to the fact that it is using 2 different package names that cannot be redirected through theme-chooser.

However I'll make an icon and attach it here for the ones that want to use it through LPP etc.

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] p-daddy11:
Great Thanks alot!
[Android Themes] zse45tgb:
Ah, well. I guess I'll have to try making some of those icons if I want them to blend with the dock.

Yes, I'm using the HDPI version, though I might as well download again to make sure. Everything seems to be successful, edify, build, flash, reboot…but I don't see any changes.
[Android Themes] bosstab:
I see, thanks D_d for the info :D
[Android Themes] InsanityOnABun:
Hey D_d, just wanted to say that this is an excellent, excellent theme. Just one small issue, and a few icon requests. First, whenever I update the theme from the market, the market app crashes. Not really that big of a deal, but I'm curious as to what's causing it. Device is an HTC Incredible 2 running Cyanogenmod 7 nightly 117.

For requests:

Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch

Bungie Mobile

Kitchen Timer

Last.fm

Minecraft Pro / Lite

My Verizon

Playa Control for Winamp

To Do Log (on Amazon App Store)

Again, great theme.
[Android Themes] Sir_gpm:
What happend if I used amend instead of edify?? In zip themer. Maybe thats why is not correct in my phone the morph.
[Android Themes] jankoboys6:
Np about Mortplayer. It's best to ask the dev of this app to fix it anyways ;)

I would love to see YouTube non transparent. I'm looking forward to see this ^_^

Still about transparency. Only to stop bugging you and be sure about it, I'm asking it now for the last time. Are you 100% sure to leave it as it is? Will making another same theme package but without transparency give you like 2x more work?

I know that what I'm asking now is demanding but it's just another idea. Could making a GUI to change certain features be even possible?. From a programmer aspect of view is making this (if possible) time consuming yet it fits the needs of users. I don't know what is your desire to achieve with this amazingly looking free theme but still I'm just sharing my ideas ^_^

For now I'm using your old 2.2 version with no transparency for better performance. Keep on your great work!

Thank you so far for all your replays!

Cheers

Should not be transparent in the youtube app when watching videos. Very annoying. Talking about the boarder. But great theme tho

Tried many ROM (x8) and can not make the morph works with any of them. Is possible to release a icon pack for us to use with our launcher.... Regards.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello InsanityOnABun,

First of all, thank you for your kind words.

Market, is one of the applications that get themed through the theme-chooser. System is pulling resources from the Crystal.apk, so if that is interrupted in any way, it FC's several parts of the system (like vending).

As stated in both the |OP| and the market, reboot after applying the theme is obligatory and once you perform it, everything works ok.

I'll take a look at your icons requests and see what I can include. ;)

Hello Sir_gpm,

zipthemer cannot use amend, just edify. You can also try metamorph as an alternative.

Crystal already supports 5 launchers, which one do you use? :confused:

I have tried MDPI morph on my sister's X8 with MiniCM7 and FXP and it works ok.

Hello BlackRose 22,

To be honest, I liked the transparency but since it is a popular demand, I'll revert it back to solid black (just for the youtube app)

Regards to all, D_d
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello jankoboys6,

Like answered above, the youtube app will be reverted to solid black background (since we have the option).

Now about the transparency.. Making a non-transparent version is not 2X work, but it is certainly a lot more to maintain. Imagine that every single edit/redirection etc must be done twice (if I had two versions running).

Transparency was a highly requested feature that took a lot of hard work and it is something I really want to go on with.

Another reason I insist on maintaining one Crystal version, is a new theme I'm working on. It would be hard to maintain more than two good and detailed themes.

Last but not least, I enjoy and really like when users interact with me and share ideas. There are many cases, in which I followed advice or recommendation by several users (as long as they followed my personal standards)

Friendly regards, D_d
[Android Themes] InsanityOnABun:
Ah, that makes sense. Alright, cool. And yeah, I do reboot every time I update :) Thanks for taking a look at my requests!

Also, one thing I forgot to mention. Is it possible to theme the Launcher Action icons for ADW.Launcher, such as the open/close app drawer icon? Or are they already themed, and just not applying to the CM version of ADW.Launcher? The screenshot shows the open/close app drawer icon in the center of my dock.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello InsanityOnABun,

Nope, these icons were kept stock, as Crystal or cyan replicants, seemed either colorless or too much.

Great Theme!!

Small request for the next update, could you you made the notification pull down semi transparent? Thanks
[Android Themes] rhodiggah:
This THEME is really pretty. Looks great on my CM7 equipped SPEEDY. Keep up the great work.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello everyone,

I feel really happy and satisfied with your response (over 1150 downloads in a week).

Small update as promised.

Check the 2nd post for changelog and 3rd for morphs and morph installation instructions.

PS: New market is giving me a really hard time in changing the launcher icon :S

I hope i find a workaround soon.

Best regards, D_d
[Android Themes] Lento10:
Thank You for the update, it's working well.

Would you consider a semi transparent notification pulldown for the next update?
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello Lento10,

It's easy so yes i will ;)

[Android Themes] kmakiki:
Hey, for some reason, I can not get ZipThemer to work. I build the theme, flash it, CWM says it flashes, but nothing happens. No changes. I'm running CM7 RC1 on a Samsung Captivate.

Am I doing something wrong? I made sure I updated Edify, and it's checked on Edify - Captivate, but still nothing. Help?
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello kmakiki,

Are you sure you are flashing the correct .zip file?

Zipthemer is also creating an update-undo.zip, could you by any chance flashing this one?

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] kmakiki:
Nope, I made sure I was doing the update one.
[Android Themes] mjs2011:
Mdpi?
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hmm, not quite sure why this does not work for you. Could this be due to combination of the morphs?

Please try to apply only the full system morph (first one attached).

Regards,D_d
[Android Themes] Lento10:
Thank you,

BTW the rotary morth is not working.

The buttons to unlock do not appear. I can only see the the circular bar.

When I used metamorth I get an error, control file missing
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Did you include the system morph? (not the full one)

If not, do so.

*EDIT: I used zipthemer and worked well
[Android Themes] Lento10:
I forgot the system morth, I'm going to try it know.

Edit: it work once I used the system morph, thank you again.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Just realized the actual issue with metamorph application..

.zip package should have the exact file name as the .XML description file inside.

However its working ok with zipthemer.

I'm going to upload the correct-named packages tomorrow (for metamorph app)

i was trying to install update, this is what i do:

1. download and install cristal 1.1.apk

2. download and install zipthemer

3. download crystal_full_system_morph.zip

4. go to zipthemer and set edify update-binaryand after that set crystal_full_system_morph.zip in "+Theme" and choose /sdcard in "*Output", then press the "Build It!" tab

5. go to recovery, install zip form sdcard and it gives me:

do i do something wrong? pls help
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello fire_of_mind,

This usually happens when an update-script, instead of updater-script is being used.

Does your rom use updater script and binary?

I would have really appreciated it, if you asked me first, before posting a modded version of my theme. I want to keep a specific design line and these kind of actions really prevent me from it

Hello everyone,

Due to my usual heavy amount of work and other daily commitments, I delayed this release in order to include all the thing needed.

So v2.5 is out!

Short changelog:

Updated theming for the latest market (3.3.11) although some green tiles are still in the front page (none has managed to decompile it properly yet, so I could not get my hands on resources)

Updated theming for the latest Google+ application (2.1.1+)

Updated theming for Facebook messenger (last update of the app had f** up things a bit)

Retouched the android keyboard (a bit darker now, the letters are still white cause in cyan the looked TOO much ;) )

Youtube app has now a solid black background (due to user requests)

Also I think that I have managed to fix some slight alignment issues in MDPI

@bosstab, please verify if your Farm frenzy is still over-aligned.

Regards to all, D_d
[Android Themes] ^Deadly_Sin^:
Once again, nice work :)

About the keyboard, what if you leave the letters white but change of the colour of a few buttons like the caps button, backspace button, enter button etc.

Also in the notification area some themes have a drawning or something, for example http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=775020&d=1320684155 (red circle thingy). What if you do something similar, for example add the dog head you have in your signature banner?
[Android Themes] ktsak:
Nice work D_d, looking forward to try it again !!!!!
[Android Themes] InsanityOnABun:
New keyboard is sleek. Lovin' it.
[Android Themes] ciribaski:

I'm using (testing) on ldpi and it's awesome!

only battery icon in notification bar is a little blurry

but it's ok for me:)

if I see something strange I'll report.

Hi.

I'm using the "Status Bar" battery status style in MiniCM7 (the one that shows a one pixel high meter of the battery across the top of the status bar). Earlier it was green when battery level was good. Since last week it suddenly turned yellow. Is this something that changed in this theme? Green was kinda better when battery level was good :p

/Daniel
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello DanielMalmgren,

No that has nothing to do with the theme, its a change to the latest CM commit. Check the indicator while on system or any other theme ;)

[Android Themes] danny7837:
You are an awesome man D_d , the theme's heading towards Perfection, another fantastic update, Thanks so much :)
[Android Themes] DaXmax:
Thanks a ton DarkDog! But a small favor... Can u make another version with removed transparency? It actually give lags to my phone...
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello DaxElectro,

It's something I've answered before... :)

I avoid making multiple versions of themes, because I do not have enough time to maintain them.**

Imagine: make your changes to code/drawables etc to version 1, copy them one by one to version 2, make sure their code or styles do not conflict etc.

On the other hand transparency is a feature that was requested by a large amount of users and the only actual "issue" is a choppy background rendering, visible in Settings menu.

I clearly understand that it can be annoying sometimes, but its the small price we had to pay for the looks of transparent bg.

I hope this will not discourage you to use Crystal, I always check all user requests, although I need to be strict about my design guidelines sometimes :o

**However I prefer to maintain two different themes instead of two different versions of the same theme ;)

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] nyonya:
Theme looks good as always D_d! One new request, possible to theme the Vlingo in-car shortcut (not a widget)? And no luck on Volume Ace Free or FlightView Free I take it :(
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello nyonya,

By Vlingo you mean this one >>> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vlingo.client

Also in Volume Ace you want the widget too right? I'm terribly sorry if I forgot these in the past, I'm on them as we speak!

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] voodoo55:
Still using this thing man. That says something. I did find a small bug. 4 pixels small. The clock and sound recorder icons both have stray pixels in the upper corners. Yeah, that's the only thing I can find that's wrong. ;)

New keyboard looks nice btw. And how about a teaser for this "other" theme you've been working on? I'm curious.
[Android Themes] DaXmax:
Thanks for the feedback... Neh, i can tak the transparency but when i play a game, e.g Angry Birds, every pixel went crazy! Like now its 400x800, it will become to 398x798
[Android Themes] InsanityOnABun:
I can confirm the stray corner pixels on clock and sound recorder, and I'd also be interested in a teaser for the new theme ;)
[Android Themes] nyonya:
Yes, that's the app - and for the shortcut I don't mean the app icon (although that'd be nice too :cool:), I mean when I add to desktop -> shortcuts -> Vlingo InCar. Again, not sure if that can be themed.

And yes, for volume ace and flightview it's only the widget I'm really concerned about. You have nothing to apologize for, you've made a wonderful theme and we're all grateful for your work!
[Android Themes] kevin2516:

[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello guys,

Ooops, seems I forgot to delete some icon rulers/guides, will fix these flaws in the next update, thank you for bringing that up!

About my next project... First of all, I'm still testing different color schemes, shapes, textures etc so its rather early for previews.

On the other hand I HATE previews, it's like testing people's nerves before the release.

The only available details for now is that it will be nothing like Crystal (only similarity will be the amount of detail) and if all goes well, I will release it for Christmas. ;)

Regards on both, D_d
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:

I cannot reproduce this bug with Angry Birds on my DHD, could you post a screen?

I can´t understand the step 2, how can i do this : "set your edify update-binary" ?

My phone is a x10 mini, i don't know what file to use, crystall_fullsystem or crystall_fullsystem_mdpi ?

=================================================

Morph Installation:

I personally used zipthemer application but metamorph should also do the job.

There are two morphs available (in order to prevent noobs from bricking phones)

-crystal_fullsystem <<< ONLY FOR HDPI

-crystal_fullsystem_mdpi <<< ONLY FOR MDPI

1)Download your selected morph (attached at the end of this post)

2)Launch zipthemer application and set your edify update-binary

3)Press the "+Theme" tab and select your morph

4)Press the "*Output" tab and set your flashable .zip's output folder

5)Press the "Build It!" tab

Be Careful! The application is going to prompt you to create an undo-zip file! Choose yes just in case something goes wrong!

6)Flash through recovery and enjoy!

=================================================
[Android Themes] Rycon33:
X10 mini is LDPI device, 240x320 resolution.

The 2 morphs available are not optimized on that resolution.

The MDPI morph could work but maybe some images are not proportional, MDPI is 480x320 resolution
[Android Themes] nunobcm:
And the step 2, how can i do that in zipthemer ?

"set your edify update-binary", i have zipthemer ver. 1.7 and don´t see any options to do that, and when i flash through recovery it gives me an error saying that ist amend script.
[Android Themes] Rycon33:
Inside zipthemer, press menu, update edify, choose option 1 or 2(prefer option2, it will download a file).

After that go to menu again, settings, update script format, choose your device.

Then you can build the update/undo file for the morph, now in edify format.
[Android Themes] nunobcm:
Ok! I Managed to do wall that but the lockscreen icons don´t change on my x10 mini.
[Android Themes] DjowBr:
what about a themed icon for im+/im+ pro ?
[Android Themes] Rycon33:
Hi D_d, on my X8 I switch to another CM-based rom and I found out the icons in the settings never changed except the 'wireless & networks' icon. The dev of that ROM used the sense-like themes on his ROM.

The thing is, other theme-chooser themes i tried on this ROM are doing just fine and overwrite those sense-like icons.

Hope you can help me resolve this as I really like that ROM with your awesome theme on top of it. TIA!
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello Rycon33,

That is happening, because Crystal is theming only the ic_settings_wireless.png icon and the rest stay the same (in your case the sense-like icons).

I'll add the rest, in order to complete your menu's appearance, it's no big deal ;)

PS To everyone:

Guys you have probably noticed that Crystal has not received the usual updates for the past two weeks.

Project is STILL on and running, I am just busy in maintaining MiniCM7 and Orangehaze themes from MiniCM7 rom along with my fellow friend and dev nobodyAtall.

Development is constant, next update will have lots of icons/themed parts etc, while I am also on the hunt of the scroll-lag (located but theme-chooser has several limitations :( )

Cheers! D_d
