the theme is nice but what i was really waiting for was the modding of the dialer and contacts apk. why didnt you implement it? cause i know you guys had worked on it and there are even screenshots of the dialer with the semi transparent background. just hope it comes as an update to this theme. thanks again!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
The dialer (contacts) IS heavily modded with the transparency hack, but if you look into Jedispotty screenshots http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=699497, you will see that the background is not transparent. But in order to change the background from plain black to the structured one, we had to implement that hack (by xml and style change in the resources.arsc).

So changing this to your needs is now very easy, since now you only need to change the btn_dial_textfield_pressed.9.png in contacts res/drawable/hdpi-finger - you can use a different backgound or set a different transparency level for that png. So basically we tricked the contacts, to use that png as a custom background ;)

I just give you an example, what you can do with only changing this single png (screens come from my X10 and Sense Theme)

Full transparency

Semi transparent

Try these icons - I adjusted the colour of all pendo icons (c, not b - since c was already indexed) to fit to the theme. It`s not in the main theme yet, since I`m basically consulting here from the outside (Milestone user), but it defintely works.

So you can just give it a shot:

Been waiting for this. But could it be possible to release a version of the theme without the custom font? Nothing against the font, it's just hard to read when you're going through e-books or long articles on the browser.

Pressed Color

What is the color that is used when something is pressed such as an item in a list?

Also, I have CM6 RC3 but I have used metamorphs already. Do I need to re-install CM6RC3 (w/o a wipe) before I can install this?

Thanks

Theme is still WIP - here you find a themed ADW Launcher. Since it is signed you can either install it just like a regular apk or push it asl Launcher.apk in system/app with permissions 644 or put it as Launcher.apk in the theme app folder and run the installation process again.

Thyrus will put it later in the main theme.

http://www.multiupload.com/4KT8JQRI8B

Screens are from my Milestone, so there are slight differences due to the different battery icon (which caused issues on CM6).

sweet man! will be waiting for it!

Cant enjoy this theme because I was running on nightlys.. now the stable one is out, its time!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ivanxx:
Hi!,

just tried the theme, and got to say it is awesome!

got a weird and annoying problem though (not completely sure if the theme is to blame, but just to let you know):

While trying to setup a PPTP VPN I get a java.io.NotFoundException: /data/data/misc/vpn/profiles/4602205712083976868/.pobj (No such file or directory): /data/data/misc/vpn/profiles/4602205712083976868/.pobj (No such file or directory)

Anyone using the theme can replicate the problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dessanct:
Thank you! Beautiful theme, will be waiting for the update!

Another vote for porting to Enomthers ROM, that would be awesome. Can't wait for the cm 6.0.0 version.

And I can confirm this! hah, I updated assuming it would work and it just put me into a loop.

Oops! ;)

HI guys,

I will probably port the theme in the next couple of hours. A simple port is not a big thing :)

And I will update twitter finally to V1.03 as well whilst I am at it :)

Missing icons (Market and Gmail).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gabbies:
Nice!!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
not really, I have simply chosen not to mod the icons for some apps. Reason: with CM6 and its built-in "custom shortcuts", it is a breathe to simply just do it this way. Having 5-6 icons in the app drawer and the rest "unmodified" just looked very strange...

Just download the icon pack from first post and do it this way :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] markouk:
Thank you so much for updating for CM6 final. Been tough using CM6 without it!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Clarkster:
Just installed this on CM6 final. It is amazing. Thank you for all the hard work!

Just as a suggestion, you should update the first screenshots on the first page. They are out of date enough they actually look ugly compared to what the theme really looks like.

I was wary about flashing it because the first few shots looked pretty sloppy.

But I did anyways and am really impressed.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
thanks for you suggestions - just updated the title post per your advise :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tigert:
Great work I have tried many themes and this is by far my fav. Is there any way to get the blue highlights back on?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Lol you guys are funny

I actually removed them as the majority didn't seem to be too fond of them :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tigert:
Is there an easy way to add the blue highlights without to much work like a highlight zip or something the gray and blue looks real good together.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] markouk:
My browser icon hasn't updated. Has this been left out for CM6 final?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sl8125:
Wow. This theme is so different. I am loving it. However I wish I can change all my icon. Speaking of icons. I downloaded the add on packet suggested. However how do I change the icons since now I have them. Also I saw a beautiful widget theme. How do I apply this. My widget really look out of place. I appreciate some advices on how to.

Control Icon highlight colors in ADW settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] burton14e7:
For some reason not all of my icons are changing either.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Hi guys

Wallpapers: Just unzip them and copy them to your SDCARD. Then select via Gallery and apply as wallpaper :)

Icons: You can create custom shortcuts to the desktops via menu key - create custom shortcut - select the application, then click on the stanard icon in the create custom shortcuts menu and select the icon of your choice (i.e one of the ones for the theme). Sounds easy and it really is :)

Blue highlights: They are png files embedded into the various apks (mostly framwork-res.apk. A simply "zip" will not do the trick.) A metamoprh would work but I am not really a big fan of it when it comes to modding the framework-res due to the possibility of it crashing...

I would now have to create another 2 sets of the theme. I am willing to do that if there is enough demand for it (I hope you understand that I need to settle for a common ground otherwise I will have 10 versions of the theme shortly which I cannot maintain and track anymore) :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mgear356:
thanks for your hardwork!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thatguyzx:
I love your theme. I've been hopping around Elegant Steel, Galaxy S, and SuperCircle Manup. My ideal would be Elegant Steel with a steel themed supercircle battery. He's made wonderful progress on those battery meters. I really have to start learning how to theme. But thank you for making my nexus have such a professional sleek look.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sl8125:
One more question. How about beautiful widget. How do we install that. Thx for all your work. Everything is so clean now.

How do you change the browser icon in the dockbar?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
thanks for the feedback guys :)

re: the browser icon, simply create a custom shortcut to the browser with the correct icon, then drag to the dockbar :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomedic:
I wonder if anyone can help here...

I flashed CM6 final, after a full wipe/format (including SD card). Flashed the theme and the font/notification bar changed. I then imported the xml (after an initial error, I reset the UI teaks and imported again and it worked). The problem is it is WAYYYYY too dark. It LOOKS like the theme and images, but the notification bar is very dark, even on 100% brightness. I can't even read the clock.

I have been having issues from several weeks back when I was messing around with the inbuilt CM notification bar colour settings. I don't know why, but they keep reappearing even after FULL wipe/formats (including the SD card). After a wipe, the stock bar appears, but then after the second reboot the one with the messed up colours ALWAYS reappears. It's getting very frustrating, it's almost like the weird colours have merged with the steel theme.

Urgh... Any suggestions? I like the theme and would love if the notification bar looked as it does in the pics. I honestly don't know what else to do, I'm probably on my sixth full wipe/ROM since I messed around with the colours and they ALWAYS come back...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sl8125:
How about dalvik cache wipe. Some app data is stored there too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Don't know why people keep up this myth of dalvik cache wiping after formatting the /data partition. The dalvik cache is stored in /data, so if you wipe data, dalvik-cache is always wiped with it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
What settings are you using under user interface notification colors all the way down in the menu? Do you have "user custom notification and pull down bar" unchecked? They need to be unchecked.. Hope that may be it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ogglord:
I have the same problem!

I have made two screen shots.

A second picture shows that contact info's sms icon has wrong color, link

If above links doesnt work:

1

2

I don't believe another wipe and flash will solve this :(

I came from RC2 and made a full wipe before I flashed CM6

Edit: Pull down looks odd too, link (After flashing colors xml, forgot to do that earlier)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Shows me clearly that you have custom notification bar enabled. The custom one looks like that.disable it like I said in my ot reboot and you will be set :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomedic:
I have always had them unchecked throughout the duration of the problem (weeks). I just tried this...

1. Reset UI settings

2. Reboot into recovery - Wipe Davlik cache, re-flash theme, reboot

3. Bar now looks like yours, drop down window does not

4. Imported xml colours, reboot

5. Some colours changed, but the drop down still does not look identical

Is it possible to PM or post all the colour settings?

I don't know why it worked now. I have wiped the davlik cache, reset the UI, full wipe/format/new ROM so many times... We'll see how long this lasts...

Yup, mine looked very similar. Frustrating isn't it? The settings must get backed up somewhere... Try doing what I did and see if that helps...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tomedic:
For what it's worth, I did "check" and "uncheck" both of the settings before I did the above to get it to work. Even though they have always been off throughout this. Maybe by checking and unchecking them again it resets it? I dunno...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
It has nothing to do with a backup or something guys :-) disable both custom options (maybe check then uncheck), import xml and reboot
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thatguyzx:
It's definitely the checking then unchecking; or rather it doesn't hurt to always do that when troubleshooting. Happened twice to me on different themes and both times that solved it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sl8125:
Yo Thy, is there a way you can add a supercirclemod? Sometimes a little color does hurt at all. It may pop the notification bar a little.

Another thing is that when unlocking and receiving calls the icons are bare. It feels little naked. Maybe a arrow like the stock will look good I think. You prob have better idea but I thought I mention it. But keep up the good works. Regardless the adjustment, I still love starring at my phone
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
Kinda sucks that you didn't update all the stock icons...

great theme btw...

edit: I have to be missing something, you even themed the setting page, no way u skipped the app icons.

edit 2.0: Nah, looks like the zip doesn't contain anything but a few stock apps...that kinda sucks, I hate to be that dude who complains but damn...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Latentk:
I tried installing your customized Laucnher pro but it does not install. Any idea why it wont let me? Any way you could put up a zip with the icons? Awesome theme by the way!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
again, there is a reason why I ommitted to alter and replace the app icons:

1. Even with the best effort, I can simply not change all the icons for all the apps. You guys will have 10+ custom apps installed, which means I will never even get close to a uniform design in the app drawer. And if say 80% of the icons are modded, and 20% are not, it simply looks horrible in the app drawer :)

2. Some stock apps such as market do get occasional updates from google. Once updated, they will either "not install" or they will replace the custom icons. Either way, very dissatisfactory IMHO

I dont mind changing the icons, but given the fact you can create your custom shortcuts now anyhow within CM6 final, I wanted to play it safe and not amend the stock apps due to possible issues...

for example: I noticed that since I modded the GMAIL app, I did encounter occasional "authorise google apps" popups with the stupid code that you need to read and re-enter. Imagine you are on the move, depend on your phone to be perfactly synched, and when you open a gaap such a gmail, it then asks for the code.. Sometimes it took me 4-5 attempts (especially whilst slightly hammered and intoxicated) to get it right.. :). Since I stopped modding gapps with the icons, I did not encounter this annyoing and most useless pop-up again.. Could be random, could be connected, who knows :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BHy4ok:
How to remove a transparent background in contacts and calls? It's so laggy
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
I feel you. And I like your attitude. Sorry for being rude.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
simply use a different theme, but there is no lag just because the PNGs are using transparency effects. The lag you are experiencing can and is caused by other reasons IMHO
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
PS: since I am not the happiest kid on the block with CM6-final (most people are not 100% happy with it), I have tried the latest nightly from 30 Aug - and can report the theme works with the nighly (it will with most, as long as the settings apk doesnt change)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BHy4ok:
Ok. I'll try nighly rom.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
maybe I am missing the point - but what are you asking alexlam127?!?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] propain4444:
Maybe i missed something in the instructions somewhere...

I downloaded the icon pack from DeviantArt, put it on my SD card, and went about creating custom shortcuts... All is fine, except for 2 things:

1) In 1Vc, you had a GMail icon that is not included in the Deviant icon pack, can we please get that icon (and any others you modified to fit your theme)

2) The icons from the Deviant pack are significantly smaller than icons that you included in the theme (i.e. contacts, etc..) when used through the custom shortcut option - what size do i need to resize these icons to in order to get them to match with what you've included in the update.zip?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Latentk:
Would it be prudent to uninstall Launcher Pro and try a reinstall for your custom version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iacus:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bluezz:
I absolutely love this theme! Thanks a lot for all the hard work, kind sir :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
that's what I did
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] te_quiero_forever_girl:
this theme is freaking awesome !!! My only concern is that: can you make the background in the dial mode become untransperant ? I think its gonna reduce the lag. Otherwise, this is a great great great theme :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] te_quiero_forever_girl:
might be a dumb question, but how do you guys change the font ?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
Wonderful theme! I have a problem though: is it me or is there a problem in displaying the amount of signal present? If sometimes in my area I totally lose connection and I still see 3-4 bars when there should be zero! :(

Running N1 CM6 Final, downloaded theme-ElefSteelCM6FINAL-Circle
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
the bars you are seeing are light grey and semi transparent. The colors will get stonger with the signal. i chose not to have it "fully transparent" as it looks "empty" this way on the noti bar :)

Regarding the non-transparency on the dialer. I would strongly recommend you guys learn a little about the "hacking and modding" apks :)

Cause otherwise I will end up with 976532 different versions of the theme - which I would really like to avoid :)

As I said before, you can surely ask for changes, but as the theme gets around a little more, there are a lot of different wishes from the community, and I cannot please all of you :) So I need to settle for a common ground, and from what I saw in the threat so far, the common ground is a semi-transparent launcher :) And the lag effect you are referring to is just a visual "trick". Simply use the abc drag icon on the right to scroll, you will see there is hardly any lag (why would it be, the list simply has a different alpha transparency value, which will not cause lags or slowdowns - the OS doesnt differentiate between tranparency 255 or transparency 128 :)

The less versions I have, the quicker I can update the theme to any mods or updates from CM or other apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dessanct:
I love this theme! It's beautiful, love the font. Great work, keep it up :) no complaints as of yet :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
oky you hard-to-please people :)

I have created a simple, non-transparent, pure black background for the dialer and scroll-list of the contacts.apk :) Whilst I was at it, I also toned down the "in-call" background when in a call, less "silverish" now.

Try it out, and tell me whether you really believe that this reduces lag when scrolling (I still believe it is an optical illusion, but I am willing to listen to ya) :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
From what I can see in my phone the color is quite similar I cannot tell the difference at first glance, is there something I can edit to change the color when there is no reception?

PS: after playing with the signal I confirm that there is a small difference in height in the four bars from 0 to 4 bars of signal, but the color is almost the same.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
I see what you mean. tell you what, I will make the change in my next update ok?

I will design it like this I think - let me know if that is OK?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
Yes, that would be good. If you want to give it more visibility maybe you can use a pixel more of thickness :D ATM I'm showing via Cyanogen Menu the signal DB, but with your work in progress that will go away soon :)

PS: is there a particular reason why the circle battery bar starts changing color from the top left (let's say at 340 degrees more or less) instead from 0 degrees?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
not really no, other than asymmetric designer expression :) really never thought about having more symmetry here, cause I never check the circle anymore since I look at the numerals ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
I look at the numerals too, but it's a lot more readable and I think it makes more sense having it in a "clock way", so that you can visually compare the amounts of battery directly to quarters of a circle, just my 2c :D.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] te_quiero_forever_girl:
can anyone please tell me how to push a different font ? This font doesnt support my languauge and thus, messed up the text :( Please help me !!! And btw, great theme :x
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
The way the contacts.apk is designed with the transparency (or call it custom background) hack, it comes with 2 very small disadvantages. There is a little lag due to loading the custom background, but usually barely noticeable and the tranparency consumes a bit more battery, but again only a little. If you would remove the transparency in this hacked version, there will be no improvement regarding the small lag you feel on your phone. This only changes, if you use either a standard contacts or another themed contacts, which does not incorporate that hack (which are 99% of all themed apps).

So it is your choice, you can push another contacts with permisssions 644 or even reinstall the entire theme, but switch the contacts in the theme before install. It is simply a matter of preference - all effects come with a small price (see Aero effects on Vista).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
you just need to push standard or other fonts (Zegoe is a nice alternative, used also on Zune, see link on page 1) in system/fonts with permissions 644. You only need DroidSans, DroidSans-Bold and Clockopia.
