I believe he meant the .tsk files and cab files for phone dialpad

He may have meant .tsk files, but he asked for posting themes, which encompases more than just wallpaper files.
As for dialpad cabs, yes, I knew that, but I don't use any custom dialpads, hence, I didn't post any.
hello victoradjei
yes! I want to .tsk file on X7500,
thank you
Ok, if thats all you really want, just type into google 'vga ppc wallpaper' and you should get more hits than you could shake a stick at. Probably thousands of .tsk files to choose from.
that's definetly not true (thousands), and if you have realvga on your athena then most vga wallpapers (part of the theme) won't work properly. so you have to look for realvga themes.
Your right, it's probably many, many thousands. And who said anything about realvga??? You are the first.
If you have WAD, you'd be able to use ANY wallpaper you want, no matter the size, since you'd be able to stretch it (or shrink as the case may be). You wouldn't need .tsk files either. You could use png, jpg, gif, tga, etc..., and then it wouldn't be thousands of choices it would near endless choices.
Oh wait, you already can use jpg files. You just have to do it through the included photo viewer, so you can disable the transparency.
As for resolution, use your favorite pc photo manipulation software the change the image size, and/or convert to jpg, if needed and you don't have WAD. There, now your choices are near endless, and you don't even need to have WAD afterall.
Obviously, I'm sure you already knew all that, though.
there may be people who don't wanna ruin there system by installing WA, the biggest system break of all besides phonealarm and battery pack (my poor device)!!!!
and there may be users who don't wanna put a photo on the today screen when you hardly can read anything anymore.
and there may be people who are just looking for the htc theme and don't need anyone to tell them how they can find vga themes thorugh google (like the threadstarter).
and many thousands of vga themes? that just tells me how little you know about that and that you haven't searched at all!
I agree about WA, I hate it.
I found a simple Crossbow theme in this forum that has no photo, looks nice and works on the Ameo(Athena) ok. Just search for Crossbow Theme.
I also found a phone theme (cant remember where) that makes the T-Mob dialpad look nice again but I have a problem. Its very dark, and the text at the top is black!
Does anybody know the Reg Key to change the colour of font on the phone dialer?
I cant read the network or number etc.

Why don't you try searching first before pretending to know a thing or two, of which you obviously don't.
I found 243,000 pages relating to my search of VGA PPC Wallpaper. Yes 99% are rubbish (I'm sure a couple of dozen are not), but on just page ONE, I found 300-400 .tsk's in VGA, between websites. Now if you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say, perhaps let the OP know where he may find the themes he's looking for, then post that. Otherwise, go sit in the back of the class and pay attention. You may learn something, yet.
Since you din't read my post well, I'll say it once again, you DON'T need WAD (I never even mentioned WA!) to install any wallpaper you want. Use the WM5 photo viewer to set the background image and remove transparency. You don't need to use a photograph (making it hard to see text as you put it), you can use ANY graphic file you find or make.
If one prefers not do these things, and is still intent on only using .tsk files, that fine, there are tons out there. So don't start causing problems. It seems I'm the only one who has even tryed to help out in some way, so far.

Hey mysticbluebmw,
Is that the box standard Advantage theme? Looks cool. Is it available from some vendor? What about the weather part?

Its a combination of software, including Wisbar Advance 2, Wisbar Advance Desktop (both by Lakeridge Software), SBSH Pocketbreeze, Phonealarm, and Weather Panel. There are some really impressive themes over at http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=34. So far, no compatibility issues, lock ups, or anything. PM me if need any more info.

Thanks for the info. If I do migrate to that package and its themes I'd want to make sure I keep two features: 1) 3G indicator at top to confirm that type of connection, 2) Indications of each email account and number of unread messages. Any VGA themes you recommend that keep those features? Found one here but don't see either of the above: http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/wa/organizervga.html

1) To my knowledge, the 3G icon has not been identified seperately from other connections in any Wisbar skins. For me, I did not care, since I can't do anything about it anyway, but I can see if it were essential to find a 3G area, it would be needed to know.
2) I'm not sure whether phonealarm can do this or not. I vaguely remember reading posts about custom email alerts (didn't know what that meant then or now). The phonealarm forums are located athttp://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php
I wish you luck in finding what your looking for.
i have a tmob hd2 with manila 2.5.20121412.2
and was wondering if someone has the cab for completely clear on the home screen ..I just want the clock and my hd background...nothing else but my transparent slider
thanks for suggestions..
also laptop touchpads suck...lmao
Install CHT and make it look like you want it. You can remove everything and keep the clock.
you might want to edit your post to remove the pic. If a mod has to do it, you will get a strict warning...
Just a heads up.

+1 need to edit the pic lol
and im assuming you mean no top or bottom curtains,no clock panel ect.,if so this should remove all of it leaving just the clock wallpaper
you could get your point across with another picture. lol i dont think xda would approve of this sexual display on the site.
read the rules of XDA!
removed your screenshot!! It is in violation whit the rules! You don't know witch are the ages of the member's!!
Damn I didn't get to see it
come on play the game
kids could see this
totally out of orderI'm no crude but time/place 4 this
@jbynum69
I have edited your message. Explicit material is strictly forbidden on XDA. This is your first and final warning.
sorry for the pic it seem even human beings are ashamed of reality...i left tmobile cause they suck and need a service doesnt drop calls every five minutes...
so thanks for the help but took the phone back and went back to a carrier that has good service...
I believe that this is the right place to post this request.
Whenever I select a text box or a flash item in the browser is flashes a yellow color.
I hate it and i want it to leave! It seems like the item is freezing and it is ugly.
Can it be removed somehow? I believe it can on be done the hard way!
wrong section & this is normal.

wrong section. but to answer your question, flash a theme that changes the colors in the web browsing...
Is it a theme thing? I'm sorry I thought that it was something deeper.
It's not only the browser but also the text boxes.
i have to disagree to you guys. afaik this has nothing to do with themes, it's just the yellow border which marks links and everything else in the browser. it's right in the development board. i can understand that you don't like it, i personally don't really care about it...
i'm pretty sure this can be done by any developer. but not by me, my android skills are very weak
maybe some dev picks this up...
This is definitely a theme issue. You need to edit a. 9.png, either in framework-res or the Browser.apk. Those are a huge pain to edit, but you can change the color, or make it transparent if you want to get rid of it altogether. I'm no themer, but I think if it's totally transparent you can cheat and skip the complicated part of preparing the. 9.png before you push it. Or you might be able to just delete it altogether. I'm sure if you post this over in that section you'll find an answer from somebody who knows better than me.
How does a person create a theme and then use it? I'd like to have very specific things on my theme but other than adding to an existing theme, i can't seem to take away from an existing theme, how do I create a new one from scratch?
I know they say watch the vid but if you are like me you need to see it in writing,it makes more sense to me that way.Anyway the easiest way is to grab a theme and change it around/edit,get a feel for the program then create your own by changing wallpapers,icons,weather etc.A lot of themes now won't let you edit them I have found,however download any of mine and edit away they are all editable,as are a few more posted here but names don't spring to mind,none in my opinion are any better or worse than each other they just have their own little attributes that makes them unique in their own way.So go on and play around m8,it will be fun.

Thanks, I cannot stand those youtube videos that "show" you how to do things. I find them tedious and unusable. I'd rather just get some instructions, an application and let me do it. Yet, so many seem to post "youtube instructions" i write this stuff for a living and have never found a video more useful than written instructions. However, that's my bias.
I'll go check out some of yours.
I agree with your assessment that NONE of the themes I've downloaded have been editable. I don't want to ADD more widgets and icons to a theme. I just want to start with a blank canvas and let me do it.
Yet, if all these themes exist, HOW were they created? I'm really not going to watch a youtube video. There has to be a building application somewhere. Not re-engineer something already there.
One question, when you say "download mine" where do I find yours. None of the ones I've seen through the application say who created them.
mine and others are in the screenshots and themes forum beneath the general discussion.I agree fully with the video and much prefer to read it as I find it more followable,but again I suppose that is my bias too.You can start almost fresh,grab a theme as posted earlier,then delete everything,if the theme uses everything widget this is simple to do,just press screen and choose remove,then change the wallpaper by selecting your own then simply add you own widgets etc via the inbuilt everything widget (although this isn't as stable as it could be) or download widgets from playstore etc then add them,hope this helps apologies if I seem to waffle on.

Hi sanjsrik,
I'm the one who made the YouTube tutorial videos, so I apologize if they weren't that informative. Those were created in the beginning just to give people a basic understanding of what Themer was about.
Alldroid is correct in saying that starting with a fresh blank theme is the best, then just seeing what works and what doesn't. My advice would be learn more about Zooper Widget, as a lot of the newer themes use it, and it's brilliant. That's all Themer is essentially, a wallpaper, some widgets, and maybe some icons if you're feeling brave. We do recommend making the grid size quite large, in order to make the widget resizing easier. you might also notice that the new themes include incredibly detailed icons, these are in fact Zooper fonts, so as mentioned play around with the Zooper widgets found in the new themes.
If you need help/ideas feel free to ask, I'm always here to help!

It isn't that the video isn't informative,it probably is but some people including myself prefer to read it via a text file or maybe a pdf file

Marco,
I would definitely go for it... though I am more of a "hands on" student and for learning I need to hear the stuff (that's how I learned all the stuff during college - my wife reading the material and me laying down and just listening - damn, she was so furious when I got the same grades as she did... ;o]]]), the text might help you gain more audience among those "give-me-a-manual-and-shut-up" types.
You have created a superb product for the tinkerers so a step further in the direction of a superb customer/user support would be a definitive nod in the right direction.
I personally would like more short video tutorials on specific features, how they work, what is their purpose and the mechanics (Yeah, you guessed it, I am not that familiar with design and graphics;o]) and maybe a tut on the 'codes' for custom formats of zooper widget.
well and maybe few more videos with theme designers like the one you guys did with GeriArts would also be inspiring... ;o]]]
another definate yes here too thanks,would make it a more better product in my opinion.

I promise I am NOT complaining. I promise I am NOT criticizing. I am just asking the question, WHAT is Themer?
from everything I understand, it's not a true "application", it's a wallpaper that then people can add widgets that "do" things.
if this is the case, HOW are these widgets "locked" where they can't be changed in a lot of the wallpapers I've downloaded.
THAT is my only question.
Oh, and how come there's not a "builder" application for Themer?

No worries we weren't offended by your comments, we're just trying to make everyone's theming experience as easy possible.
Themer is a launcher. Just like TouchWiz, Nova, Apex, ssLauncher, etc. It's a link between the hardware and software, you could think of it as the body/shell of a car. The car can have a different shell, and with Themer, it's shell can be customized in seconds.
Calling it a wallpaper with widgets doesn't really do it justice, as a launcher incorporates your app drawer as well, and maybe some more features arriving soon.
One thing to remember is that Themer, once stripped to its core, it a launcher, just like the rest. By that we mean you're able to edit/add/remove widgets, change wallpapers, change the icons (icon pack support arriving soon), etc. To unlock widgets, hold down on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets. Repeat the process to lock them, or alternatively you can go into the main Themer settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Lock Desktop Widgets.
Whenever the widgets/icons are unlocked, this can be called the "builder" mode, as you can add/remove/edit widgets and icons.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the constructive email.
I think the biggest confusion anyone has with your "application" is that it doesn't seem like an application. It really does sound like a wallpaper with widgets. For example:
* Is there the ability to add groups for grouping together like kinds of applications?
* Can I add my own icons for applications?
Think GoLauncher or some other such "launcher" application that exists.

1. With Themer, you can add in Smart Category folders. For example the Games Category, when you install a new game, it will show up in this category and then whichever theme has a games folder, this new game will automatically appear. This saves a lot of time, but you can also manually add in your own categories or manually add in your own apps to a category.
2. Icon pack support is still limited. If you have icons on the homescreen, these can be edited manually. Some icon packs are supported, but you can also set them to other images in your gallery.

YES! I watched many of the videos and I'm still very much confused. I have specific ideas for what I want, and although I can figure some things out on my own by trial and error, reinventing the wheel is both time-intensive and tiresome.
Also, I am glad to hear that icon pack support is on the list. Although my plans include heavy use off the app drawer, I'd like to have the icons in there be pleasing to my eye as well as the ones on my home screen.
It's a great product, one that I've already suggested to several friends. I just am more demanding than the "average bear".

most icon packs by default don't work with themer,but there is a way round this although you will need to manually change the icons you want to use.
Download apk extractor from Playstore
download the icon packs you want to your device
using apk extractor extract the apk of the icon pack you downloaded,this file will be stored on your device main storage in the apk extrat folder.
Attach your device to your laptop etc,then drag the extracted apk icon pack to it
rename the icon.apk and change the apk extension to zip
open with your favourite zip program
then simply extract the icon file images
