OP Updated

CM6 Versions updates: themed GoogleQuickSearchBox and DeskClock, added a new darker status bar, and fixed Music icon and added Alarm Clock icon (CM6-Alt version)

Sense version updates: new darker status bar and themed GoogleQuickSearchBox

That's bizarre because I've tested it on official CM6 (and I have a few other people testing regularly) and we've had no issues. Try wiping everything, flashing CM6, then flash this theme and you should be good to go. Glad you like it though - hope you get it working as it should!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neilkarunatilaka:
Yeah that is what I thought. Could it be because I upgraded to the offical CM6 from the nightly versions?

I'm hesitant on doing a full wipe as I'm lazy to re-setup my LauncherPro docks and what not :D lol, but that seems like it maybe the only way. I'll try the 1.2 version you just uploaded and see what happens.

EDIT: I flashed the

1.2

alt version and it works fine. Previously, I flashed the

1.1

alt version and got the no service / fc errors... So I'm thinking something maybe up with that zip.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gessin64:
can we get the "v1.2 Alternate (Engraved Status Bar Icons))" for sense 2.2? it looks amazing...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Oh okay well I'll see if I can track the zips down and will post them in the OP tonight. Thanks man :)

Absolutely I'll put that together tonight and should have an Alt version posted in the OP later tonight!

I'm glad to hear you got it working. Cheers and enjoy it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
By the way, here's what the new status bar, which is in all versions now, looks like with v1.2 for CM6...

Oh, and an Alt version with the engraved notification icons is coming for Sense 2.2 users tonight
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
rom is metrodroid...but I have had mattedblues installed for several weeks and the market was themed until recently when it updated itself...

Swyped from my HTC Evo 4G on the MetroPCS 1X network!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mizzos4:
From this statement: "Im also not running any third party roms just the good ol htc sense 2.2 rooted with unrevoked."

I believe that's your problem. If you're running the original Sense rom, then you can't install themes since it's not deodexed. You need to flash a deodexed rom in order to flash custom themes. Look in the development forum for threads on Sense-based deodexed/themeable custom roms.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] INebilim:
To the OP:

I know this was updated 11/5 but some of these apk are older versions. for example Launcher pro has been at version 0.8.1.1 since october 20. it would be great to update to the latest versions as soon as possible.

do you plan on releasing more icons for the launcher bar?

Also what is the difference between the mattedblues.xml file and the CMparts_UI file?

thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wtwildnateis:
Thanks man, I got it all straightened out now. Everything is working amazing.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Read and you'll see this theme is pretty much dead, beatblaster is doing a few updates on it but other than that...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] INebilim:
Why is it dead? the only reason i can think of is that RC1 has been around too long

EDIT: it's not dead. the dev is working on it for later releases of certain ROMs
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
MattedBlues editions for CM6.1 nightly build 168

Jabbawalkee and I haven't forgotten about this thread. Just been *really* busy. We did find time to get MattedBlues updated for CM6.1 nightly build 168 though :D

MattedBlues Standard Edition for CM6.1 build 168 can be downloaded from HERE or HERE

MattedBlues Engraved Edition for CM6.1 build 168 can be downloaded from HERE or HERE

XML file for CMSettings can be downloaded from HERE or HERE

Just follow the instructions in the OP to install.

Sense users: We haven't forgotten about you either. I'm turning my attention back to the Sense version after the holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
The AppPack is on the back burner. Right now I feel the need to update Sense users is more important. Once Sense is finally done, if I have some time, I really do plan to update the AppPack but I gotta take things one step at a time. I hope to find time to do this eventually.

Jabbawalkee does all the custom graphic work therefore he'll have to answer your Q about the icons.

The difference between the two XML files is that one is for the CM nightlies and the other is for the CM standard releases.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sab3r One:
Is there any way to undo the changes made to widgets and icons without a data wipe? I tried cache/dalvik wipe and reinstall and a few things are still themed blue.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] WhiteBoy997:
Where is the myn two point two theme version jabba was working on?

Typed from my Evo 4G with XDA app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BlueHarford:
by the time you posted this, the framework changed... bootloops on 170 build and up...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
You're kidding me?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wase4711:
yep, cm6 is up to 177 now
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Lento10:
Im getting bootloops on 168, after wiping cache and delvik.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fivehundredkv:
Great theme, thanks. Just enough changes without hitting you over the head. FWIW it runs great on my dInc using Redemptive REVOlution ROM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BlueHarford:
nope LOL. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

the latest build comes with .35.8 kernel... if that motivates you any lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Smac7:
anyone wanna work on RC2?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
Wishing there was a theming for dummies haha

See, sense first haha, plus RC2 just came out
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scheelwd:
RC2 lasted about 5 minutes on my phone, then I missed MattedBlues and did a Nand restore.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zulu1:
this looks so awesome! It would be really great if i could install it on my htc hero :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -Michael_:
I cant wait for the sense release, i have actually stayed with a old verison of the rom im using just so I can use Matted Blues, it feels too wierd without it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BlueHarford:
id be more than happy to help with the updates of the theme, there taking too long..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] INebilim:
it shouldnt be too long now. RC2 is out now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
Yeah I dig matte blues but I moved to Myns RLS4
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] computerkid23:
Will this work for RC2
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scheelwd:
Using the 25NOV release on the new RC2 will cause it to bootloop.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Send word to Jabba about it then. He never asked me to help him with the updates. I just offered to help where I could and he said that was fine. RC2 version is almost done. Just need to finish up a few small things here and there and then it should be good to go. I wish I could work on this stuff all the time but it doesn't pay the bills so I can only work on it when time permits (and when theme work doesn't threaten my marriage or mortgage) :)

I've also asked for help with the Smooth Sense stuff so that I can finally get JSChiSurf's power notification widgets working and a new Sense version can finally be released as well.

To be honest, I now have a good idea why Jabba had to walk away from the theme. It consumes your soul and once the masses get restless it hits you - it's hard to keep everyone happy (both on XDA and in real life).

Of course, I don't speak for Jabba. Rather, I'm just speaking from my own experiences since helping out with the theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
this is one of the biggest reasons why i'm hesitant on releasing any of my big projects.. :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
All it will take is a killer theme kitchen built and then we could only update that. I say that knowing I couldn't code to save my life haha
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SilentSummer:
Thanks for the update, looking forward to the Sense update.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Me too. Like you don't even know :) some of the Sense work has been a challenge so far and I really wanted to learn it on my own but I finally decides it's time to wave the white flag and ask to a little help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdallman10:
http://circle.glx.nl/ is pretty awesome for the time being. can't quite make everything blue, but it's a start.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
its not bad, but really what i was thinking was software where you could pull your required files, and then load up the custom mods and have it cook all of them into a zip file to flash. themer's could provide the input "files" and then you could cook based off your rom base etc. not that that isn't a start, but a really robust theme tool would be awesome as since officially suck at this stuff, i can only speculate that there is a lot of tedious updates that potentially could be automated. Plus instead of themer's making sure they are in compliance with the latest greatest ROM/etc they could focus on the ascetic portion and then only upload the "modification/colors/etc" and the software would automate the rest. again, purely speculation as i have no idea if that is plausible, if it is, in my mind it would allow themers to do what they do best and theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
There's so much fine tuning involved with certain aspects of themeing that I'd be really impressed if a kitchen could actually achieve what good, old fashioned hand edits do for the community already. For those of you who aren't aware of the effort that goes into a theme all I can really say is "a lot." Decompiling, editing, re-compiling, researching why either failed, 9-patching, backing up data, wiping, flashing, testing, 7-zip, copy/pasting, making sure you don't mix up theme versions (which I already did once on accident), hex editing, more researching, deleting things, apktool, smali/baksmail edits - there's a ton that goes into this stuff and all I'm doing is porting updates! Imagine if I had to actually do the graphics work too! WOW!

Anyway, until that day comes, I just want to let you guys know that both versions for RC2 are now awaiting Jabba's blessing then I'll post some links for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
you forgot ripping your hair out and cursing like a sailor when 9-patching fails because you haven't rested in over 10 hours and you missed one damn pixel that would've saved you about 3 hours of troubleshooting.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
would it make sense to get a bounty thread together to maybe submit something like this to project4hire or something like that? to me it doesn't make sense to have themer's worrying about tedious stuff like that when if possible they could worry about the ascetics and just provide the raw data to input into the kitchen. Just a thought.....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
MattedBlues for CM6.1 RC2 has been released. Links are in the OP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] INebilim:
Grazie signore! :) ive been waiting for this. thanks! flashing now!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 4D3:
hi,

im really sorry to sound like a dumb ass but how the heck do i install this?

thanks in advance

MG
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
i am back on mb (for the time being :p).. job well done, beatblaster! looks like i have another person to pester with 9.png issues.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luisrcastillo:
RC2 just got better. Thank you!!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Download the version you want then flash it from recovery like a ROM. If you are installing CM from scratch make sure you install CM and GAPPS then reboot, wait for CM to load then reboot into recovery, once back in recovery flash the theme zip then reboot and viola! MattedBlues!!

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Your welcome! Enjoy!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Bring your .9's on dude :) I'm ready when you are!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drcz_92:
Does anyone have the keyboard... I really like it...

I wanna flash it please

Is there other lock screen too.. ? That I can use with this theme
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Keyboard

Here's the keyboard apk (LatinIME.apk). As for lock screens, I'm sure there are other apps out there that let you make custom lockscreens (I'm not familiar with them though).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Sorry guys. I missed a few icons in the links I posted earlier for Engraved RC2. :( I've posted new links in the OP. This is for the Engraved version only. Standard version is OK.

Good nite.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 4D3:
what is recovery, is it a piece of software? what do i use to flash?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
first off...

jabba, fantastic job with the theme, once again. i'm running it right now and it's hitting all the right spots.

beatblaster, i gotta hand it to ya, you took this theme and ran it like a champ. well done. from someone who's familiar with the work that goes into this, i commend you for sticking with it. my phone looks legen-waitforit-dary!

i'll post up pics later tonight :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lopezpm:
I have the Galaxy S theme right now. Can I flash after wiping cache and dalvik or do I have to flash from a fresh CM ROM install?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lopezpm:
You are rooted, right? Place the zip file on the root of your SD card. Turn off your phone. With phone off, hold volume down and power until it boots into bootloader, wait while it checks for a some files. Then use the volume keys to scroll and select recovery. Select install from sd card. Look for zip and flash.

You might want to wipe cache before installing. Once you flash go back and select reboot.

**Procedure may be a little different depending on what recovery you are using**
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to flash this after wiping cache and Dalvik but I warn you - I'm not familiar with the Galaxy S theme so I'm not sure if it's done anything funky to framework. What I'm saying is it should work but for the love of all things good in life NANDROID FIRST!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
"Are you rooted?" is the main question here. I would think that if you ARE rooted you'd know what flashing is and how to get the theme installed. For some reason, when I read the original question about how to install it I was thinking "is he wondering whether he needs to flash it or use an app like MetaMorph?"

Which reminds me, I've always wondered whether making a "morphed" version of MB would be beneficial in any way.... hmmm......
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lopezpm:
Great. I appreciate the reply. The only reason I ask is cause the Galaxy S theme requires a fresh install of CM. Thank god for Titanium Backup. What's the difference between the 2 versions or does anyone have any comparison pics between the 2? One more thing. Do I need to do both, flash the zip and load the xml file?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
The only difference between the two is that one uses "Standard" (white regular looking) status bar icons and the Engraved Edition uses.... well.... Engraved icons :) Check the link in the OP for the screenies of the Engraved edition.

As for "both" - yes - you need to do both. The XML file is used to complete the necessary theme changes. Flash the zip, boot into CM, ponder why your text looks so dark, install the XML file then go "oh OK there we go :)"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
If the Galaxy S theme requires a fresh load of CM I bet it does do something weird to framework, probably via a services.jar edit or something. My point is, make sure you Nandroid first cause I have a sneaking suspicion something might break when you go from Galaxy S to MattedBlues. If you'd let us know how it goes that's be great!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lopezpm:
Wiped cache and dalvik and it installed fine. Looks good.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Sweet! Thanks for getting back to us :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bbmcgee:
Status bar color for engraved edition

What color in hex is used in the screenshot for the engraved edition. I flashed the theme and applied the xml, but I don't get the depth of the engraved look.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drcz_92:
The keyboard won't install.. Is there another way to install the keyboard,,, I like to try many roms and this keyboard is the best looking one
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drcz_92:
Anyway to delete y

The lock screen from the theme?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
?? What makes the Engraved Edition "engraved" are the engraved icons that are included with it, mainly in the status bar for things such as signal strength, sms notifications - stuff like that. You're not flashing the bad version of the zip from early last night are you? Try re-downloading the Engraved Edition from the OP and flashing again OR you could try to go into a little more detail by posting screenies and I'll help you as best as I can to find an answer to your question.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
The keyboard apk I posted will only work on CM6. If you're trying to install it on a Sense ROM I'm pretty sure it's not going to work. I could probably make a flashable zip of just the keyboard I posted earlier. Either way, I'm actually working on the Sense version of MattedBlues again and maybe I can include a working standard keyboard APK. If I'm not mistaken I think there's a thread somewhere on XDA that will allow you to install this keyboard on Sense. All I'd have to do is theme it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bbmcgee:
Sorry, it was an awfully worded question. I do have the engraved icons. I am specifically looking for the color code of the status bar (I did download and apply the XML). On mine, the status bar looks black and doesn't blend as well with the grey in the engraved icons as seen in the screenshot in the OP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Oh! hehe I get it! Those screenshots were taken when running a Sense ROM if I'm not mistaken. I'll bring up your thoughts to Jabba and see what he says about this. He does check out my work before I post links and I don't see why he wouldn't call it out if something were wrong (as I totally expect him too :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] robbiep:
I was having the same issue. I was able to solve it by downloading the xml, and then switching to the "stock" theme setting under the tweak extras. At first it appeared all white, but after a reboot it was the matte gray.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Go into CyanogenMod Settings/User Interface/Notification colors and then scroll down to "Custom notification bar." I'm guessing this box is checked for you? If so, uncheck it and reboot. You will now have the proper themed status bar. Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bbmcgee:
It was not checked. I got it to show the proper themed status bar after resetting UI tweaks and rebooting. However, the status bar turns black again after I apply the XML. I had do that because the text was black after resetting. That's OK. I can manually change the other colors to white (e.g text for time).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
what nightly is this set up for ??? or is this for RC2
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
RC2. I'm done with the nightlies for now. Sense has been neglected for far, far too long and as now my #1 priority.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
I see where I jacked up the XML (put a bunch of 0's where there should've been f's). My bad. Fixed it and am posting updated links now. Thanks for noticing and letting the rest of us know!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Alright, got the fixed XML posted in the OP. I'll get a mirror posted for it later. Again, thanks for noticing that. After working with this stuff for a while things tend to get blurry.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikevillarroel:
Waiting....

Nothing yet for the Sense version?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
No but I'm *very* close to working through the animation issues that were plaguing the Sense version a couple of weeks ago (hence why I took a break from it, aggravation accomplishes nothing). Sense is my number one priority and I'm using every free moment of time I have to finally get it released for you guys. Hang in there.

FYI - To the few of you who've asked how to donate to me for MattedBlues work I can simply say this - please donate to Jabbawalkee. He created MattedBlues and I simply jumped in to help because I wanted to learn. As far as I'm concerned the community has given me so much and it's my turn to give back.

......unless you want to send me baked goods. I'll take those :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Nope. You could always replace the themed PNGs with the original ones if you want that badly enough though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
Pardon my not reading these 1500+ posts, but there's no known-bug section and in browsing the last 150 posts or so I didn't see anything regarding the issue.

Has anyone else installed this and immediately forced into roaming? I was fine running myn4, and as soon as I themed over I went to roaming. I can't really complain as now my data is 3x faster than it was before (pretty sure I'm on VZW's towers) but I know Sprint will.have a fit if it continues.

Related experiences?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
That's never, ever happened to me and I haven't heard it happening to anyone else either. That would be really weird considering the only thing this theme changes are the PNGs (and updated APKs of course).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
I thought so too. Flashed back to "stock" myn4 and its fine. Happened on stock HTC too... Sprint towers on regular, roaming on modded.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Oh wait a minute. What ROM versions are those now? 3.30? Higher? The last confirmed compatible ROM version for MattedBlues was 3.29. I'm working on getting the Sense version up to date for the newer ROMs. Maybe that's your problem?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
Definitely then, I'm running 3.3. Sorry for the confusion, hah. FWIW I love the design :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
No problem! Come back and re-download the theme when it's ready for 3.3!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jonnybueno:

Thank you for the kind words! That's always appreciated! :) I'll pass the word along to the OP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
Apparently 3.30 isn't the problem...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Interesting.... you don't happen to have a rev004 EVO do you? Just curious. Since I've never seen this behavior before it's an oddity to me. Curious...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
Hardware is 003 actually. Wiped everything clean again just to make sure. ill flash CM and see if the problem persists, since its got me stumped too.
