Since we can't get the MIUI Rom because the bootloader is locked. How hard would it be to make a theme for it?

You could use adw and there is a miui theme on the market that looks very well done. Also many miui Widgets etc on market. My sexy nexy screen look the same as the pics on the market when I used miui.
From there just mess with settings to ur taste like hide dock bar etc. Then painstakingly arrange all apps on the screen, just like miui the first time ^_^, and backup settings and screen arrangements in adw settings

I meant a theme with a new color notifications bar and a total skin... kind of like GreyBlur or GingerBlur.

oooh thanks. So it deletes everything on my internal SD? So I just need to backup my photos and apps to my external SD?
I'd backup JIC but it didn't for me. Turn off fingerprint unlock till ur set up to avoid issues later ...heard it helps. I'm on greyblur and use adw paid version. It was definitely worth it, and I'm a cheap skate ^_^ coming from nexus and all it's great dev love, I wanted all the options it gives. Screen transitions etc.
Didn't touch my webtop that I customized either ^_°

why not just hide the notification bar or use adw launcher and make it hide but also have the up swipe to hide/show notifications....or try searching the themes for the eris here
I don't want it hidden, I've seen some themes for the nexus where it is clear but still has the icons and everything on it and I think it looks pretty cho l but can't find one that will work. And yes I've looked threw the themes and apps section. I wouldn't be wasting orioles time if I could easily google and find it.

It didn't do anything to my phone... It looks like if I go to kaosfroyo I MIGHT be able to get one because most of them are for CM6 phones and roms. But I really don't wanna leave white widow. And I really don't want to have to repartition my SD card.

What I'm really looking for is a "transparent status bar" still haven't found anything googling that though.

If you have a froyo rom you can change the transparency of the notification bar from the cyanogen settings and tweaks.
Yeah that's what im starting to realize. Guess I'm just screwed your awhile.

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.
Looks pretty good. I loved the messages tab.

I also suggest bloo 1.5 but it's not on the market, gotta Google the apk. I hate the official app because it takes you to the mobile version mostly.

Gingerblur 3.1 includes this option. I can't think of a reason not to load that on an Atrix. You can also add bloatware to re-motoblur it. I plan to tweak the zip to include the music.apk from greyblur as am not happy with the newer music client included in gingerblur. Not sure if that is what you wanted but it's the right solution in NY opinion.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I used a previous version of Gingerblur and it was not what I wanted. This being my first expirience with Android I don't mind Motoblur. Other" ROMs" also change too much about the phone. So, I have tried other peoples creativity I would just like to be able to tweak what is already on the phone.
I'm not opposed to being pointed in the direction to be able to do it myself.....

Adding Gingerblur just for one option to reboot seems like a long way to go just to add one functionality.

Very true. Just casting my vote based on the bigger picture for a better phone in general, in my opinion.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Try extended controls. It allows you to set up custom Widgets for wifi, airplane mode, GPS, etc. One of the options is reboot. You have to be rooted and the first time you select it there will be a 30 secondish delay while it asks for superuser access, but after that it is instant.

How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background? I have tried a few and do not like any of the dialers out there. I just want to change the image file used for phones background because I dont like the stock file is blue with a white-ish center. ANyone know where the file is located?
U have to theme the stock apk. I am currently working on this. I am porting over the extreme dialer.

You could just use some of the stable ROMS out so far... CM7 from cybik is working well and CM7's dialer is pretty badass.

Cm7 w/ blue bionic theme
See now that is a nice looking dialer. Thx for posting screenshot.
I checked out cybik's thread but it looks nowhere near ready to consider. I need something stable as I am on the phone/email all day long and cant go with something not semi-fully functional.
There is no way to just change the background image using Root Explorer or something? I cant believe its not that simple.
The main thing I'm interested in changing is the blue background with the white center when showing contact photo.

I don't know about flashing to change lockscreen...
but you can try widgetlocker, go locker, QQlauncher, or something similar from market to change up your lockscreen ...there are a few apps available that allow for customized lockscreen ...even allowing u to add widgets or custom sliders to the lockscreen ...
good luck
Liberty X3 you can choose the rotation slider.
On Molten you can choose rotary too.
Ash is right though, those would be the best options.

I was also trying to find a way to just replace an apk or something easy like flashing something to get different lockscreen so I don't have an app constantly running to change it...
hopefully someone who knows how to make flashable locksxreens will see this and give us a few choices
ICS theme has a nice lockscreen!
I'm thinking about trying out Liberty 3
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Lockscreens are difficult to add. There aren't any options for an actual lockscreen replacement (besides using Molten or Liberty which allow for Rotary). Lockscreen changes require much smali editing that doesn't seem worth it.
I just hope we can get CM7 soon...
If you want. Go to UOT Kitchen and upload your systeemUI and framework-res apks and make your own lock screen with the options there" then it will cook you a flashable zip. Its pretty neat!

Magic Lock from the market is nice. they have 20 or so different themes with different locks and shortcut keys to apps while your phone is locked. Heres a screen shot of my current lock screen.

Is the lockscreen really that big of a deal? I have seen multiple post of you asking for your lockscreen. I believe you even tried liberty x and still not happy. Seems like a lot of work for a lockscreen.
Haha. Well it's a big deal to me. They coulda at least made the lockscreen on Liberty more customizable

Just seems like many people gave you options and you are very hard to please. I personally like the lockscreen for the ICS theme. You should check those out in theme section. Then if all else fails start by Google uop kitchen and learn to make your own.
Ive been very happy with WidgetLocker. Im trying out MagicLocker right now though just to change it up. If you are worried about battery life, just stay with the default lock screen. Any locker app will probably have an effect on your battery. Sorry.
the lockscreen is a pretty big deal to me.
I settled on widgetlocker.
Its not as good as CHT & winmo, but its the best I found so far.
Go Locker is one of my favs. After switching to this from Widget Locker, I've noticed a little better battery life. I would try it out for a while.
