I'm definitely not touching the progress bars, sliders, etc, unless they need a touch more transparency, but even then I'd take them down only like 10% max. I think the main point is that because THOSE are still blue, there should be blue elsewhere. I've been rethinking the Action bars a little, and might dial down the complete transparency, but dont worry, it will still be good :D

Dialog and Spinners coming up next! But I hate being OCD about these things... instead of just grabbing the png's and blanket changing transparency and calling it a day, I'm basically recreating each asset one by one in Fireworks... all the templates I found were more for mockups than anything else.... but hopefully it means I can make many more themes with the assets I'm making, and it won't take NEARLY as long as it has for me to get this far.

And precisely to my previous point, I actually like the idea of multiple color themes for hologlass, or even better, utilizing PA's color picker ability thingie in a custom glass rom to dynamically make your own colored glass. I LIKE ITT!!!!! :highfive:

Also, should I force holo.light apps to use the darker holo.glass theme (yes, thats what I called it in the styles.xml), or should I make a light version with dark text as well, after everything is said and done? Perhap's you'd want to see it first... which becomes a chicken and egg thing. Meh, I should just get this beta out, eh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spartanier7:
This is much ado about nothing :D

Your theme is almost perfect.

Fixed transitions makes it perfect!

And i suggest making the slider pop ups and the dialog windows a bit transparent to fit in the theme :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Aww shucks. I'm glad you feel that way. It is far from perfect in my eyes, however.

But Lol, because I was one step ahead of you; was just about to post this: (From the test app "HoneycombGallery", gotta love Google's humor)

In other news, does anyone know how to change the intensity of whatever darkens the outside of the dialog view? is it this?

This is the best theme for aosp roms I've ever seen..it's really really similar to one of my old theme but for Sense roms.. Transparency to achieve more smoothness is a big deal and you're doing very well, bravo! Waiting for a stable version, meanwhile I'll use that alpha which it works really well here, also if you sell this theme on playstore be sure you'll at least one buyer ;) keep it up!

Your wish is my command!

HOLOGLASS IS NOW IN BETA!

So I love you guys and this glass theme too much to sleep even; I stayed up all night to get this ready and out the door. I kept telling myself, oh, just one more asset, etc etc, and then it's 530am and I have to go to work soon. ANYWAYS. I redid my workflow to included an official signing key & zipalign, and JUST uploaded to the appstore, so the link probably wont be live for a little while. But because of the almost 800 alpha 2.1 users, I put it in the OP one last time so you can get it first ;) (and with that shiney XDA version badge on it)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jreyno10:
And of course, I just flashed rasbean so I don't have theme chooser at the moment. Just my luck. Hahaha

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
I have to agree. I've yet to find a bug with this beta. Except for perhaps making the notification header a little less transparent so that it hides the statusbar better. It's superb. And from one themer to another, I'm a bit dirty that I didn't think of it myself. Just Kidding. This is the first theme to really draw my attention away from my own theme. Awesome. @irtehun, you can quit with that rom now. Works done right here.

TIP: Be careful when trying this with the holo.light theme unless you're willing to leave the text colors as they are, or else you'll introduce an unbelievable amount of text bugs in apps that use framework text colours over app specific backgrounds. Found that out the hard way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Thanks for the heads up on Holo.Light. I'll still make one, but apply it selectively then. There are still a lot of things to clean up, (idealistically for ease of re-use, like any good programmer), but I know the text coloring is really raw, and breaks disabled states in lists, just to name the biggest item on my list.

RE: status bar thing, yeah, that was a tough one. I had a nice gradient transparency that hid the notification header well but still looked almost the same transparency, but it looked horrible in Phablet mode on PA, so I had to rethink it. Less transparency coming soon. How was the actionbar text style for you guys? I know it was a bit of a departure from "normal", and I realized a little too late that I accidently set it to roboto-thin instead of roboto-light, but I find it rather refreshing overall.

And for the rom, well, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
How exactly do apply changes to a framework theme selectively. I'm yet to find a way of doing this, & if you have a way i'd love to hear it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
By making a new theme with Holo.Light as the parent, then inserting that theme as the new holo.light for any app that I know it will work on, after testing. As for bits and pieces of the framework only, I dunno, I think we're still at a loss there.

I admit I have intentions to make large contributions to the first-timer / themeing-noob tutorial space, maybe even video tutorials if I get inspired enough. I'm glad I stuck through it and bashed my head against a wall of unanswered questions for a month, but I wonder how many people with great ideas get turned off by the presumably steep learning curve? Or does it make it kind of an elitist group, those who braved the resource-redirections and emerged (relatively) unscathed are now part of the in-crowd?

I think my first suggestion to anyone would be to make a dummy app and follow actual app theming tutorials first, before learning how to redirect the resources that it calls upon.

But here I am getting preachy when there is HoloGlass to improve :angel:

Let me know offline if anyone is interested in helping flesh those tutorials out though ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
I've tried making holo light the parent and the theme would crash and cause bootloops. Have you a way to redirect one framework heme to another in a specific app only? My Chromium theme redirects holo to holo light, but i'd love a way to make it app specific.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevdliu:
I think someone might have mentioned this before but I'm curious to why dialogs and dialog themed activities now show the wallpaper behind them instead of whatever window/stuff is actually behind them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jreyno10:

Very noticeable improvement over the alpha version. Great job!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Yeah I haven't figured out why that is yet. I also am looking for the setting that adjusts how much extra black is added on those dialog menus, so I can dial it down. But a beta is a beta, right?

If you find anything, let me know ;)

You got off Raspbean (or whatever) just for me? Aww shucks.

^^^ THIS

I just found this thanks to the guy who posted the link int he AOKP G+ community and I'm loving it. However, red is my favorite color and I tend to stray towards red themes so I think a choice of the colored accents would be great.

The blue looks nice, though, so I'm not even complaining. I have a feeling this will be the third theme I purchase/donate to within the past few months. XD

Was following the progress of the theme since its inception.

Really happy to see it in play store. Works beautifully.

Pleasant to watch the beauty of the wallpaper playing with the apps.

Kudos. Eagerly waiting for the updates and a paid version too :)

(Updated my sig too :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spartanier7:
The Beta is working very well since it´s a Beta :D

Well just wanted to tell you a bug i found to help you.. even though i think you have already found it yourself:

for example if you are in browser and watch some photos online, and then you longpress one of those to save it a pop up menu will show where you can choose to open in a new tab or save image and whatever. Normally it pops up in front of the present page but now the page fades out and the homescreen background shows up with the pop up menu in foreground.

Same thing in gallery, apollo and whatever apps show these pop ups.

Otherwise you did a really good job!

I am impressed.. tried to create a theme once and i know how much work this requieres.. and skill since i know i could never do this :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Good news and bad news.

I have isolated the Dialog over nothing issue, sort of... and it is pointing directly to my implementation of Styles again. Back to the drawing board >.< I can have either transparent dialog, or transparent app... but not both... yet. It's very disturbing. Worst case scenario you have to deal with the weird overlay-over-nothing-bug. I'm sure I'll squash it eventually, but there are more pressing matters at hand. Like doing a good job on the different text states. Or finishing the asset conversions.

The GOOD news is that I found the attribute for the dialog dimming color:

<item name="android:backgroundDimAmount">0.6</item>

I dialed it down to .3 which looks a ton better.

I'm compiling a list of all the things I'm trying to / cant figure out how to do, and will drop a huge post on the dev forum, to see if we can't get this straightened out.

Here's one question from the first-time themer: Can anyone explain the different primary secondary tertiary color schemes, the various enabled disabled, bright, etc variations, and where/when the different colors get used? It would help tremendously. Pictures are even better. (I get the use of the XML to drive the different states, but I really dont understand the "?colorVariable" piece, nor WHERE each of the colors are used, and when)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scottx .:
Damn right. I've always wanted a really good full transparent theme and now I have it.

Great work. I'd surely buy a donate version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CitizenX:
Is it normal that the navbar and the statusbar are black when i open an app?

Set the transparency in my rom to 100% but it´s only transparent on my homescreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jreyno10:
Yes. The only ROM that has full transparency is PA. Other ROMs only have it on the launcher.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laur3n.newm4n:
Does the transparent status bar and navigation bar only work in CM if you're using the stock launcher? I'm using Nova Launcher, and they're still black. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] galapagos:
You have to change the transparency setting in the rom. It doesn't matter which launcher you use. Also, CM is not the only custom ROM with transparency setting. AOKP- based ROMs have it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laur3n.newm4n:
I didn't know CM had a transparency setting <.< I shall find it!

EDIT: Okay, I guess I'm just stupid - I can't find it.

RAWR IM MAAAAD.... that you still need to change the text editing colors to #ccffffff, use the @*android:drawable/ab_bottom_transparent_dark_holo for the android:backgroundSplit attribute thread style, and the send icons to what I just attached.

This would def go in the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABN85:
I'll try to figure that out. By text editing colors you mean where it says "type message" and "to"? I'm still a noob with this. Not sure what you mean by split attribute thread style either.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2SoonJr.:
I try to apply it on paranoid android and I get an error notice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Yay we're figuring this out together. NOOBS4LYFE!

Anyways, the "thread style" meant the style applied to the message thread, ie conversation window, and split style is <item name="android:backgroundSplit">, for the background coloring used on the bottom action bar, when the action bar is "split" top and bottom. Similarly, "android:backgroundStacked" is whats used for the second top bar, usually on apps that use a tab interface when the screen is too small to add them to main bar.

Would a correct assumption be that people care more about getting more things glassed than fixing the tiny details?

I can, and probably should, do that instead of hunting down why the dialogs are not showing over the pages that produce them.

Is the Dialog over nothing bug fixed with the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
No.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Sadly, no. Just MMS and better+worse at the same time text coloring. (lose some of the transparent whites for greys, but at least the disabled items show as disabled. Full proper text coloring in the next update.

I'm beginning to wonder if the dialog thing is an android bug... I might have to build a test app to try a few scenarios, but I think it there is something that prevents an activity with the attribute <item name="windowIsTranslucent">true</item> to be overlayed an activity that also shows the wallpaper.

Basically, to test, I need to make an app that draws a dialog with a button that launches another dialog, essentially.

It is REALLY eating at me though. I ripped out like the ENTIRE style list to find pinpoint what might be causing the issue, and as far as I can tell, it is the <item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>, which is required for the whole HoloGlass thing to work in the first place.

*sadface*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spartanier7:
Well okay.

I hope you get this all done...

I am using this Theme now anyway!

When i tried to create a theme once i also created half transparent dialog windows. I just picked the pngs and changed alpha value a bit..

Probably this works better than editing xml´s for this effect.. ? I know it´s sort of a dirty trick but better with a trickl than not at all :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
Well, the charging animation is still blue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:

You're doing nothing wrong. You just have a MMS.apk that uses the color "color/message_received" instead of "color/message_recieved".
