[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I have some attached images to prove it does work. Download the eclair lockscreen morph and open up res/drawable folder. There is a backing image that shows exactly where the buttons are. They are along the very bottom edge of the phone screen. I personally think the button guides on the bottom look awful, so I left them off. It is a little tricky at first, but it gets to be second nature after a bit. Additionally, it really messes people up that try to play with your phone.

The google search bar is part of the launcher, so this will replace any other home replacements you may use. To make your own, open up the launcher.apk in my black search zip, the files you need to make your own advanced launcher to match the theme are in /res/drawable, /res/drawable-land, and /res/drawable-port. Let me know and I will show you how to make a zip or morph of this. Also, when you make this, could you post it so others can apply an advanced launcher if they choose?

With regards to wallpaper, I will not be including any but the one default paper in the next update (I do not want the first boot to be a white screen, too much of a turn off for first time users). I will then post my collection of wallpapers that you can download and use as you like. Many of these are my personal work, so you will be welcome to share and use as you like, as long as no profit is to be gained.

On this topic of sharing and fair use, I feel I need to say something again. Many of you are asking permission to use this, and that is appreciated, but not necessary. I have spent many hours creating and modifying images (my wife is a professional graphic designer and has taught me a lot in regards to graphics software), and I personally take no offense to someone copying a pasting my images to make a new theme under their name. This is about sharing, and enjoyment, not about petty childish squabbles which really just boil down to a crying toddler yelling "MINE!!!!".

Let us consider a few points:

1.) International copyright law states that one must change a piece of work by at least 20% to claim it as their own. That is, take one fifth of the images in a theme, change them slightly, and as far as the law is concerned, you may claim this to be your work with no recognition to the original artist. Though this is not fair, and can be quite underhanded, it is REALITY. I feel the appreciation and thanks on this forum goes well beyond this level of gratitude, and am appreciative of this.

2.) I am a mathematical researcher in the field of Superprocesses of a stochastic flow. The research put out by my colleagues and I is used extensively in the forefront of physics, medicine, biology, and the stock market. I sit in a small room working all day, taking years sometimes to get one result, and upon publishing, my work can be used by anyone (usually with a small citation at the end of their work). People make millions of dollars using the work we put out, with absolutely no recognition ever going near any of the researchers. For me, understanding this aspect of the real world makes it hard to take seriously the complaints of others in regards to "my theme".

3.) If you do not like the way things work, grow up and take ten minutes to learn how to apply a copyright to your work. This does not have to be registered with the US copyright office (i.e. you can do it free), and is a legally standing copyright. This is the adults way of silently yelling "mine". If this seems to be to much for you, then do not post your theme.

Okay, having said what I felt needed to be said, I will get off my soap box and end this by saying I consider any use of my work to be fair use.

P.S. If you want to a extreme level of this sort of whining, check out U2's response to a Negativland album released in 1991. This is exactly the type of people and situation I want no part of. Fair use for all, spread my work, use as you like, and give me recognition, or don't. It is your choice :)
