You've got a custom ROM but now you want to make it look a little bit more like something that matches your style. You have a few choices and here they are:

Jabbawalkee's MattedBlues

Available For: CM7 RC1, CM7 Nightly #8, CM7 Nightly #11, CM7 RC2

Jabbawalkee has ported his stunningly pretty MattedBlues theme over to the Nexus S. Unlike some of the other themes available this one adds not just a splash of color to the stock gingerbread look but also adds some more gradient paired with a nice custom font. This one's only currently available for CyanogenMod7 RC1, nightlies #8 and #11. If you're looking for some nice cool blues but don't want the stark blacks of stock gingerbread this theme is absolutely one of the best available! You can also find some alternate versions of Jabbawalkee's theme here: MattedBlues V2.1 Alternate Status Bar Colors.

Stock-Ish Axura

Available For: Axura NSE

Master has now released a theme to take his heavily themed Axura ROM back to a more stock feeling. If you like the power, stability, and other amazing tweaks in Axura but want your phone to retain that stock Gingerbread feel this ones for you!

Sonnysekhon's myriad of themes!

Available For: CM7 RC2, CM7 Latest Nightly, MoDaCo r14

Sonnysekhon is an amazing theme dev who has worked on themes for more devices than most people have owned. He has released a total of eight (count 'em, EIGHT) amazing themes and a modification pack to change the color of one of them to any of of eight other colors and these are available for all ROMs except GingerS Small and Kimera. Below you'll find a list of his themes with a short description of each:

Lucid:

Lucid is a basic black and white theme with a lot of other cool modifications. It includes a full makeover and Sonny has replaced a lot of the apps with modded ones. You'll find a lot of transparency in this theme but the only modification to the lockscreen is a change of the icon colors.

Sublime, Sublime Cyan, and Sublime Extra Colors:

Sublime is Sonny's take on the stock Gingerbread look. He took the basic color and applied it across the board to make everything look clean and it looks great. He added a Cyan version and later a lot of other colors so now if you want to keep the stock look of Gingerbread but change the color, Sonny has you covered.

Onyx:

Onyx is Sonny's newest release and at first glance might seem to be a lot like Lucid, but once you look closer you see that the transparency has been replaced with stark black and white. Also, he has added a black&white version of his tangerine lockscreen.

Frost:

The best description for Sonny's Frost theme is just think of the inverse of Onyx. If you like simple but want something a little brighter than Onyx then Frost is for you.

Tangerine:

Tangerine is a simple black and orange theme that looks quite slick. It is simple but with a touch of flair and a bit of deviation from the stock look of gingerbread.

Monochrome:

Monochrome is slick, silver, and sleek.

Vivid:

Vivid is Sonny's newest theme and its exactly what its name claims it is: Vivid. Beautiful and colorful, this is a great theme to show off just how wonderfully your SAMOLED display shows colors.

DjDarkKnight's DarkGinger:

Available For: CM7 RC2, CM7 Nightly#19

DjDarkKnight has created a beautifully dark theme for CyanogenMod7 that makes over everything look dark but accessible. I've been a fan of his themes for awhile and if you're looking for a great theme that is dark, check this out. Also, DJ has made a flashable zip of themed google apps (like Gmail, maps, etc) so you get even more dark goodness!

Jonathon Grigg's Unity:

Available For: CM7 RC2, Stock ROMs

Jonanthon's goal with this theme is simple: Unite hardware and software to give you the most continuity in your Nexus S experience. There are still some feature being added but for now, he's got an amazing base for his goals of a unified Nexus visual experience. This baby is currently available in two ROM flavors; CM7 RC2 and more stock ROMs including MoDaCo, Axura, and Stock deodexed.

Mythamp's AMPED! Theme:

Available For: Stock ROMs

Imagine a world where instead of stock Gingerbread looking matte and uninteresting, every things is sleak, smooth and colorful. Well, imagine no more; Mythamp (the original creator of the theme Bliss which SonnySekhon had been maintaining) has updated and ported his beautifully slick theme to the Nexus S and given it a more suitable name! AMPED is all about keeping that stock feel while making everything look just better and if that is something you're into give this sexy theme a flash. You can get it on Axura, Stock deodexed, and MoDaCo!
