haha, my good old he_stheone64 is back in business :)

I finished the adaptations I noted and am now testing Version 2.0.1

Changes made:

- Minor changes in framework (especially in the circle version, now battery countdown clockwise), brought back some of the blueish highlights (press-effects), corrected expander icon wrong symmetry (button to expand lists such as the history in browser)

- Changed "no connection" icon

- Toned-down "connected" background when in call
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g4rb4g3:
Wow, this looks great! But i found a little bug :(

Could you fix the roaming signal bar please?

Thanks alot!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Yeah - now is my busy season, so theming will be a bit less, then the previous months, but I did more then enough for the community and my MS anyway...:p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
not sure what you mean by "fix" (I presume you mean that the 4 bars are seperated from each other and not "close to each other") - BUT you will be happy to hear I already did that whilst I fixed the "no connection" bars :) I didnt like that either :)

Here we go - VERSION 2.01!!

Elegant Steel V2.01 - ICON Version

Elegant Steel V2.01 - Battery Circle Version

If do DO NOT WANT transparency effects in the dialer, install this ADDON AFTER THE INSTALLATION of either the 2.01 ICON or 2.01 BATTERY CIRCLE Version

ADDON Elegant Steel 2.01 - NO TRANSPARENCY IN DIALER/LIST
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g4rb4g3:
Thank you!

Thats the way i like it :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aodpoe:
Great theme.

Question for you, how did you manage to change the Contacts\res\drawable-hdpi-finger > custom_background_dialer.png?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Latentk:
Update: Uninstalling and reinstalling LauncherPro worked beautifully, thank you for the awesome theme!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Arh1tekt:
Keep up the good work!

Quick question: I used to have the "Custom Icon" menu in my list. Now it seems it's gone? Does it have something to do with LauncherPro Steel?

Anybody have a link to a swype theme that matches this style?

Thanks,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Custom shortcuts is a function of adwlauncher. If you replace it with launcher pro then you loose the custom shortcut menu. You can use folder organizer if you need to to create your shortcuts with custom icons
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
Thanks a lot!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Ok, this is an embarrassing question: where is the attached xml file to dl. I only see one on the first page toward the bottom, but says it is with previous CM6, "color xml", is that it. I am on CM6 Final.

I am just starting to research videos and guides on themes and metamorph to give it all a try.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
the xml file will work with any version of CM6 :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Thyrus,

Thanks for the quick reply, I got all on my card now. Looking forward to trying.

Will read all of this thread, but one question while I got you. I have LauncherPro, is this final ready for that, or will i have to do some of the things mentioned in the posts. Have not gone over all the posts and install steps carefully yet. Will do that as soon as I have time.

New to themeing, but rooted for a few months and up on all else. Have N1.

Ken
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
my build it based on CM6 and includes ADW Launcher. However, we already have a themed launcher pro (page 2 or 3) from he_stheone64 you can download later :)

BUT with launcher pro, you lose the ability to create cusom shortcuts with icons and text of your liking. I would recommend try it out for a day or two with adw, then you can still replace it with Launcher Pro if you want to (i used to be pro- launcher pro), but not anymore since adw is nicely implemented in CM6 :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Thanks Again Thyrus,

I like LP cause of the 3 screen docks at bottom were I have direct dial (speed dial icons) w/pics. And, I guess ADW does this too, but after flashing and starting LP all screens and settings are restored.

Will try both.

Ken
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
Mother. Of. God.

I've never wanted to root until the moment I saw the screenshots in the first post of this thread just now!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Latentk:
Agreed, this is beautiful.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
glad you like it guys :) again, let me know of any change requests :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikra44:
Yeah,a Port for Enoms rom! :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darkriderz:
HD2

Heelo guys... i really love this theme...

could you please explain to me how to put this theme on my hd2 as i can't flash :confused:

Thanx a lot...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pongster:
HyperDroid for HD2 uses ElegantSteel by default... you can try it out. (shameless plug, I know. :) )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Well, I appreciate everyone porting my work, but I am giving you a run for your money people - as I am updating the theme again :)

Working on:

- SMS icon in contacts list is too dark

- Still don't like the "unknown" pic in the dialer for contacts without photos, have a new version that i stole from the HTC sense - closer to my liking, but not perfect I think (I took the idea from the trial this morning of eVils Sense port (which I liked a lot but didn't run stable)

- replacing "anwer and decline" jog dials - too subtle without color I must say (need to look at icon instead of red or green) - so will make it green and redish again

and so on :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pongster:
bring it on! i'll try to keep up :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
haha, well looking at your screenshots, those were from V1c or so :) I can see it in the dialer mode, you still have my old and ugly delete icon :)

PS: feedback please regarding this screenshot from the answer screen
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darkriderz:
Thank you man... Gonna try it... The screenshots looks fab :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pongster:
looks great! this is the Phone.apk right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
yes it is (and the contacts.apk alongside with it) - and I already changed it again :)

Here is my "almost final" design, modified the icon again, and the slider buttons - now this is pretty much "it" I would think - unless you guys have wishes?

Screen 1: Transparency Dialer, Contact List Mode

Screen 2: Transparency Dialer, calling mode

Screen 3: Transparency Dialer, call answer/reject mode
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Latentk:
Awesome work! Looks great! I wonder if you are comfortable releasing a icon set for launcher pro is that something you could do? Also I wonder how difficult it'd be to modify the stock calendar app?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
I already modded the widget for the stock calendar app -are you asking for the app itselve?

and there is a launcher pro somewhere already themed /page 1 or 2 I believe from he_stheone64 :) unless I misunderstood your q?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clarksonator:
Maybe I misunderstood but I thought 2.0.1 was going to fix the cell signal bars showing when you don't have a signal? I am in my office where I have no signal at all yet my phone still displays 4 bars that look exactly like 4 bars with a signal.

Nicholas
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
nicholas which version are you using? circle or icon mod? i am sure I fixed it, maybe I didnt port it to one of the themes?!? but I was sure I did..

DOUBLE EDIT - are you on CDMA? how does your normal icon look like, with a C on top?! I think I may only have fixed it for GSM... damn me
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clarksonator:
GSM - AT&T N1. I tried both circle and icon and both look the same. What is it supposed to look like?

Edit - I looked in framework-res and I think it is using stat_sys_signal_null.png which looks just like stat_sys_signal_4.png

Thanks

Nicholas
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
i just checked myself - and downloaded V2.01 from here, opened framework-res.apk, and sure enough you can see i edited all roaming icons and the stat_sys_signal_0.png (sort by modified in winrar in res/drawable-hdpi

so I dont think you are on V2.01 :) cause the download here contains the right icons?? double check pls.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clarksonator:
Definitely on 2.01 but I think that no signal at all uses the null icon not the 0 icon.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
good find then :) I will change that as well in the next update with the contacts/phone modifications :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clarksonator:
Awesome, thanks!

Nicholas
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
sorry about that, I never have "no connection", only on reboot for a brief moment, and it uses the xxx_0 Icon there when scanning... :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tramane:
I'm on the final build for CM6 and I have noticed they done of my icons are not themed. For example, maps, camera, messaging. I flashed both versions and still they are stock icons. Anyone else have this issue?

My gapps are from the latest apk.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Thyrus,

I am new to theming.

I dl'd the CM6 Final version of the steel circle one and the no transparency file.

I have LauncherPro and saw the LP dl on page 2. Need to get it on sd also.

Would I thru Rom Manager/ClockworkMod flash the main steel theme followed by the no transparency, then the LP file from page 2. All back to back. Will that give me a stable steel/launcher pro theme?

After I reboot then import the xml file I dl'd to sd card from page one thru CM User Interface as described on page one. I already had a cmparts.xml file on sd card from a backup. I put the one from page one into Android Themes folder. I guess I need to get all your files on to the root of the card. Then your xml file will overwrite the old one. Am I right on this?

Ken
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Doublepost :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
hi, that is intentional. Since the GAPPS. when modded with icons, sometimes(!!) gives you issues with authentication (the annoying "type text to verify you are human" errors, I refrained from doing that anymore (modding the icons). You can create custom shortcuts in CM6 final, so simply download the icon pack on page 1 and then create your custom shortcuts the way you like.

That would be the correct way. So yes :)

Also correct. Simply rename your old xml with a different name (add old to name or whatever), then you can keep your old copy. the xml file must be in the root folder of the sdcard to work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
anyone know if the LP on page 2 is the one with updated LP widgets as well?

I customized it myself but it didn't come out that well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Thanks Thyrus,

You've been great!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] phairway:
how do you install the extra icons and beautiful widgets theme from ES_IconsAltFont.zip? Do I just flash this via recovery?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
nope, download and unzip to your sd card (wherever you like)

then you can navigate to the folder and do what you want with it (create icons, set wallpapers etc)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] phairway:
how do you set the icons, i tried in Gallery but it only gives option to set as a Contacts icon or a wallpaper.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys :)

CM6 final - click add, chose custom shortcut

chose app, then click of icon, and navigate to the folder the icon is in.

sounds simple - and it really is :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] phairway:
ahh ok thanks. Now how do I apply this Beautiful Widgets theme?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
dont remember exactly, but you need to put the mod into the folder on your sdcard where beat. Wig saves the themes. then you can chose it. maybe download one from BF, then locate it on your sdcard, then copy the theme over to that folder :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ibis69:
Just Copy the directory 'Elegant Steel' in sdcard\data\beautifulwidgets\skins\ then in the Beautiful Widgets Application, in clock themes, select and apply 'Elegant Steel'

+ i use 'Plain grey' as weather theme, it fits very well with Elegant Steel as clock theme
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
thanks :) thats what i couldnt remember correctly anymore (i dont use BW)

Any other requests? At the moment all thats waiting for the release is the new contacts and phone (see screenshots from last night) and the fix for the second png in the framework-res for no-connectivity? Anything else? cause thats such a small update that i may wait for more changes for it to be a more compelling reason for you guys to update.

If you want, i can revert back and also include the icons in the apps again (seems that is what most comments are about)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ibis69:
Hi, i would like your additional icons included in app drawer ( via downloadable adw theme ? )

thx for this great theme
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
oky testing 2.02 update, now includes (again) all the previous icons in the app drawer on popular request :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Test completed successfully :)

whilst I was at it, also changed the mic icon in the google search widget

Anything else?? otherwise I can hit the "release" button - speak now or be silent :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Version 2.0.2 is online (see OT)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Arh1tekt:
Thanks for the update!

Is there any way to restore the original icons of Calendar, Gmail, Market, etc..???

I do like the one you provide but I'm just too used to the originals. Would be nice to have an option. Thanks,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clarksonator:
You could re-apply gapps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
you guys are killing me - seriously :)

PS: Screenshots on OT updated with 2.0.2 (All of them)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Arh1tekt:
Ok, thanks!

I love the font in this theme. Can I know the name of the font?

Thanks,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
I like this a lot but I think that the battery circle is not well calibrated, the drawing does not always correspond to the percentage and sometimes the alignment of the battery text is moved to the right :-/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] euphorix:
love this theme, thanks for all the effort
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
some impressions from main screen with various wallpapers
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
the alignment - you can blame that on CM6-their implemenation is not centered, but aligned right... nothing i can do about that I am afraid...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
I see, some mods included the percentage in the drawing so that the ROM would not have to interact in any way with it, maybe it could be a way to fix it :)

The other problem was that the drawing does not always replicate the battery condition: now I'm at 50% and I'm seeing more than two bars out of 4... unless the theme is tracking my "Battery Left Widget" status (which is @54%) I cannot see why it's not exactly 2 bars :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
very true, and thats what I díd in V1c I believe - but to be honest, ok the allignement isnt 100% when the last digit isnt round when using CM6s version:)

I am not a big fan and never was to load the framework with unnecessary stuff - and 100!!! pngs is totally overload in my eyes. The framework res is one of the most important apps in the system, and overall size of the framework does impact the overall speed of the system. Thats why I dont believe in the mod of applying 100 pngs in the framework-res.

the reason it doesnt show 50% correctly is simply - android stock measures in steps of 20%. So, I had to break down the circle in 6 steps.

When the battery reaches 89% is uses the 80% bar until if is on 69& - 80% is right down the middle

when the battery reaches 69% is used the 60& bar until on 49%

and so on and so on. on 49% if goes to the 40% bar...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
Oh, I didn't know that! ^_^ If it works 20% at a time maybe splitting it in 5 pieces would be ideal then ^_^

My suggestions:

- The last battery bar (in the circle) should be RED if below (25 - )20%

- Skinned notifications (the one that appear on the left on-demand like gmail and market downloads) should be a lot less dark or even darker (but thinner maybe), the current middle tone is missing too much contrast against the background IMHO and looks a bit unclear to read or distinguish. Icons like USB connection, no signal alert, wifi and so on look neat because they're thin and somehow basic, the market notifications and gmail look with to much decoration in them that they lose something.. I think you can understand what I'm at. Obviously good and neat work! I do like it a lot! I redesigned my desktop just to match it a little bit more!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
good suggestions - I dont use my own theme as I am already on a newer theme by myselve (when you test and modify so much as I do in the ElegSteel Theme, you get tired of it y/k). So I will look into it and provide these changes :) thanks for your feedback, very much appreciated :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evilive27:
I love the way this theme looks but for the life of me i can not get it to work on my phone. I wiped everything and flashed Cyanogen 6.0 and when i flash the theme i always get stuck in a bootloop. not sure why. :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Neo.Collin:
Dude - thx a TON for this release - I think I will use this for a really long time OR till i find a updated version :)....

A request: can you give me the link for those wonderful wallpapers ....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
@neo, better yet, i will create an apk (or highjack the cm wallpapers one) for my wallpaper collection :) some of them are not 100% as they are on different resolutions and I move them manually in the gallery :) I will try to figure that out :)

@evilive27

Well - do this. Do a simple nandroid of your phone atm. Then wipe phone completely. then put CM-final on. Then apply my theme. then boot. If it boots some of your "old" data/settings are simply not compatible...

EDIT: Saw you wiped it. Honestly it must work.Are you sure you are using CM6 FINAL?!?! not CM3??? file shoult be called "update-cm-6.0.0-N1-signed.zip"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iacus:
Hey Thyrus, thanks once again for this great theme!

Would be very cool to have the phone theme working with dialer one, but I don't know if there's a way.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
If it helps, I can adjust the values in stat_sys_battery.xml. So it`s anyway more a matter of taste, but this can easily be adjusted. We did that for another phone to trick the system displaying 10% steps instead of 20% in the statusbar (we Milestone users don`t have CM...). So I could use 85%, 75%... instead of 89%, 79%...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
anyone have a customized to this theme version of LauncherPro?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hktony:
In the first page

Alternative Launcher Pro themed:

http://www.multiupload.com/GWUHMNQQGR
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
I customized the LauncherPro shortly after the launch, you should find it on page 1. Anyway - here is the link: http://www.multiupload.com/GWUHMNQQGR

Edit - I signed this version, so you can install it like a standard, if you like.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
yea but is it the updated version? the first page never specifies so I assumed it was 0.7.6 still...are these 0.7.7.2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
anybody asked for wallpapers??

here are 40!!! of them, and they will replace the CMWallpapers entirely :)

So, do not use if you use any of the CMWallpapers, as this update actually replaces them all :)

So you can pick them directly from "wallpaper - CyanogenModWallpapers"

Thyrus' Tranquility Wallpapers

just apply the attached zip in the recovery - it will self-install and replace the CMWallpapers.apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] poochie2:
Last but not least: ;)

- Maybe there is too little difference in GMail between read and unread messages (in the list).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clarksonator:
I concur. Whenever I get a new message the font of all of the messages (new and old) changes. The font does not immediately change back when I delete/read the new message.

Thanks for fixing the no signal icon!

Nicholas
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
I just made some new battery icons, maybe these might fit for some of you guys. They are quite different and should fit plenty of different themes. Don`t be irritated by the names, since these are designed for my (and mattmasos) Milestone battery hack. Just rename them, as you need.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ryanytchan:
I installed the theme and everything fine except the status bar clock freezed

Any solution to this?

I am running the latest nightly
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Latentk:
You have to unzip the add-on file and copy paste the skin file itself to sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets/skin for it to work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
the latest nightly is NOT compatible unfortunately... a change in the framwork from CM has happened, and the statusbar therefore doesnt work with it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Drew474:
Pendo made an awesome battery for this theme. Any chance you could incorporate it into a version of your awesome theme?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Rebuild my Elegant Steel Homescreen with new, larger widget style Icons, just as a nice alternative.

Also incorporated my new Digi Batt at the status bar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pongster:
love that new battery.. where can I get a copy of just the batts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Here you find the battery pngs plus my psd, just rename them accordingly, since these were designed for the MS battery hack.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
guys, I am ok with people hijacking stuff from the theme :) But I hope you are not expecting me to teach you HOW to do that. So yes you can, but you need to figure out how to do that by reading how-tos and tutorials. Just like all of us had to do when we got started.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
i believe someone ported my theme to the Desire already afaik
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mjm128:
So i updated to the newest nightly of cyanogen then re-ran the theme and now my icons in the notification bar dont update. The time stays the same and so do all the other things, any ideas to fix it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
yes, do not use my theme with the nightly. as simple as that, it is not compatible at the moment unless you know how to port it (I dont have time for that at the moment)

Would that method work with your theme?
