So I flashed Eugene's excellent Vibrant 9 ROM, but the wretched highlight color is on a very unsightly orange color.
Is there a way to change it to something less... distracting? (such as blue, black, or white)
I've looked online for a metamorph to change it but no dice.
Thanks!
You can download adw launcher. There is a section in adw settings you can change it to whatever you want. Changing to adw was the first thing I did to my vibrant. Find it in the market. It's free too.

Thanks!
Although I'm currently using LauncherPro and I seriously love it, I think I'll try out ADW as I've heard great things about it.
Do you think it's possible to extract the blue highlight that's already on stock TouchWiz and apply it to this ROM? I don't think ADW will change all aspects of the UI from that bright orange to a cool blue.
You can pull just the highlights from the stock rom... I use ninja morph to do simple stuff like that..

Thanks, that helps a lot.
I know I'm not so adept at android, but I only just got my phone a few days ago.
Can you enlighten me how to pull the highlights though? I'm not so sure what to do after installing ninjamorph and slapping on the stock rom I got from
"True Stock 2.1 firmware for vibrant"
Thanks again!

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a metamorph that will change the buttons and highlights to red like on the Droid X. I've searched through here and in the nexus themes section but I couldn't find anything like it.
Ninjablur 1.1
There's a theme called Ninjablur 1.1
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720153 )
The only gripe I have is with the horribly ugly lockscreen.
I can teach you how to do this... Walking you through all of this in about 15 mins on your phone... No comp no nothing...

Ninjablur is for froyo only.
@junkdruggler
That would be sweet! I had a lot of experience theming 1.6, but not quite as much at 2.1. I haven't been able to get a theme booting onto the vibrant yet though, partly because I'm lazy, but I did try once and it didn't boot. I have no experience with MM though and I'd like to learn it.
If you still feel like helping me, you can email me at chazmaniandinkle at gmail, or gtalk me at the same address
Here's an ADW launcher theme. It won't theme everything, but it's something.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/droid-x-adw-theme/com.jsinlegacy.adwdroidx
If you have the drawables from the other theme, you can theme it manually with NinjaMorph.
yeah, I've used that before. What I'm really interested in is getting the buttons to be red
Yeah ill teach you the ins and outs of ninjamorph and metamorph as soon as you are ready... Editing drawables is easy...

So I found this theme on the Evo thread by Abu and I really would like to use this theme. I am pretty new to this whole thing and was wondering if that is possible to get on the vibrant. here is the theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842460
If anyone could help or point me in the right direction I would much appreciate it. Thank You!
Also, the one on the evo is used with the cyanogen mod, does this matter or is it possible to make it work with Nero?
That's tight, would like to see this happen too
Looking at the theme, its a flashable zip that replaces the framework-res.apk, and several system apk with themed ones. Theoretically the drawables in the framework-res.apk could be used on the vibrant, but I don't think the xml's and the system apps would work. If you're just looking for the status bar being modded, that could easily be made into a metamorph. But all the other stuff would take more time and effort.

I switched back to Bionix 1.3.1 just because it does seem like the best ROM for the vibrant. I say best ported 2.2.1 rom for Vibrant is Simply Honey ;p.
I ported over, mostly, the Touch of Androdena theme that was for Simply Honey.
The only thing that I don't know how to change (xml files and such) is the font color in the pull down. Instead of white as it is on Simply Honey, it's black. You can still see the text but I'd like it to be white but eh don't know which xml changes that..
Oh and also the volume notifications (when you turn volume up or down) have a green bar... no idea how to change that.
Screenshots are pretty identical to the theme for Simply Honey aside from the aforementioned bugs above ;p.
The volume bar color should be progress_horizontal.xml under framework/res/drawable. Haven't tried it yet, but maybe replacing it with one that you know is blue might take care of it.

Ah it did work but messed up a progress bar when first syncing account :/.
What account? I'm not a themer and don't know to much about this...maybe one of seasoned ones will help...looks good though!

I re-synced my google and that litter progress bar was all kinds of weird but I'll give it another try later.
It's finally here!!
I've been given the OK from jabbawalkee, the original creator of Matted Blues, to release a port for the Atrix.
I know a lot of people are waiting for this and I'm glad I can finally help them out.
Hope you like it.
Because this theme includes themed apps I suggest it not be installed over GingerBlur. Instead it should be installed over GladiAtrix or a stock deodexed system.
Flashing over GingerBlur will cause double SMS notifications. I believe this is due to the messaging app included in GingerBlur being a different app than what is included in the stock Atrix.
If you are using GingerBlur or a third party SMS app and still want to flash this theme then you should first delete the /app/conversations.apk from the CWM zip.
I think this will keep you from getting double notifications.
Also, if you have problems with gmail FCing, which was reported but I never experienced, then go into manage apps and delete data for gmail.
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/5A6C5UIVGW

THESE icons may work out for the theme.
the file name references greyblur... but they are just image files. save them on your internal/external SD and point ADW or whatever launcher you are using to use these image files for the icon image
the thread I stared for these icons are HERE. However, DO NOT use the CWM file for installation. as that CWM is for greyblur
Been waiting on this 4 a min....Thanks

Did you try turning the animations and transitions to fast with spate parts? That helps for some of the more extensive animations.

I used Spare Parts, and its good to go on my atrix, thanks again...
Also, you should make this with a brighter blue and perhaps a bright green ... not the forest kind of green like gingerblur (no offense ken) but I'm talking bright neon style...
Again, loving the animations and theme...

Freeze text messaging using titanium backup. The installer includes a themed conversations.Apk which may cause problems with third party sms Apps.

If you really want to theme up your phone (including a Vanilla theme) but don't mind some occasional bugs, check out "HeLauncher" from the market.
Otherwise your best bet is to use Launcher Pro, since IMHO that runs the smoothest that I've used of any launcher on the Atrix...
