It seems that virtually all modders are adding overglow as opposed to bounce.
I am baffled as I think overglow looks cheapish compared to bounce.
Do people really prefer overglow or how has this whole overglow epidemic come about?
It seems that the overall goal of modders is to make roms cleaner and then they go and add this eye poop. I don't get it.
Are 'bloat' graphics really desired?
I do not mean to offend anyone. Obviously taste is individual.
If you want a moderate answer, then, I don't like it, if you want a bold answer, then, I HATE it.
Regards.
I find the bounce just way off and horrible. Overglow effect though looks very sophisticated and comfortably eyecandy to give a modern look. But that's just my opinion.

Hi,
Sorry for my ignorance. But what is this overglow effect people is talking about ?
Can anyone share a video of this effect, i don't understand it (I don't use custom rom)
Thanks

Gonna wait for a release version on that CM7, cant have a partial functioning phone
Don't like it either, used to think it was just me being old fashioned. I turn off all animation
It's so rare that I see either that I could care less. But overglow bounce like in CM7 was the nicest.

I definitely prefer overglow over a bounce effect. A matter of taste.
Overglow for me too. I navigate fast through the menus and I always have to wait for the bounce effect to finish before clicking anything.
I really prefer the bounce effect. I find overglow ugly and you can make it bug if you go very fast.

Can you guys tell me which is the best ROM for visual effects for sgs2? I just want people to look at my phone and say wow! If you get my drift. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You can take a look at skyrom

thanks
looks amazing but they should do a pink one lol
hmm purple seems to be a nicer color compared to pink.. but abit gayish though lol.
Nothing beats the MIUI(me you eye) for eye candy along with go keyboard and neon colour..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
hmm, I am using miui interface but I find the neon go keyboard or should I say the cowboy theme kind of inbalance to the miui theme.. unlike using the multiling keyboard which only change the lettering on glow.. that will be even more perfect.
I like the Criskelo ROM, it isn't the most visual tweaked ROM but I like it because the window animations are a bit tweaked. Such as when loading an app or loading XDA app the loading animation is a bit different and more visual. I can't explain it very wel :$ but I like it very much
SkyRom is also a nice ROM if you want VERY visual themed. Only used the SkyRom when KG6 was new, so don't know how it is right now.
Good luck with your choice!

Gone for sky ROM looks good so far. Thanks

I actually prefer the glow over the bounce so it's different to the apple devices and when ithing people see it they are like, "Can I get that too?" and I'm like, "No. If you don't have an Android you don't get to glow"

Case in point?
If there's been at least 5 threads already on the matter, and none of them contain the fix you're looking for, what makes you think this is lucky number 6?
I recall there is at least one post somewhere on these forums with a modded browser for bounce effect and/or removed overscroll glow, and your OP suggested anything other than this blue scroll, in which case there are several ROMs or mods for which you can change/remove the overscroll glow for list view/browser.
Rosie with a splash of color
Update... Updated...
5x5 drawer with custom backgrounds now posted....
So here is the deal... Since myself and killathenoob are finding it hard to find the time to really give everyone a full on theme (And i will be taking a break to mess with my new GS2)... I thought it might be fun to give everyone a little something to play with...
I have modified Rosie with some nice application drawer backgrounds... These will work in ANY Sense 3.0 Rom...
On another note... IF you have a custom image you would like done special for you, just let me know... Its not a massive deal at all for me to do... So dont be shy.... I will mostly work on requests during the day... So evening requests will need to understand i wont touch them till the next morning...
I went with the colors most seem to like... Green, Blue and Red... And semi-transparent...
How to:
- Download to your PC
- Move to your storage (Recovery specific)
- Nandroid
- Flash
- Reboot
Things to note:
- Stock Rosie base
- Lots of xml edits to add in transparent and image backgrounds, along with 5x5 drawer...
- No, this will not flash the surrounding theme shown in the screen shots... (Most of it is just a skin, and not mine)
Reserved for me and future additions...
Looks great!
Thanks much....

What happened to the themes for TW projects? You had some DOPE-ASS custom icon/status bar shapes that really pushed the .png options out there.
TW lost its main developer for the last 6 months while he took care of real life... Now that he is back, I will be back with the team... I have amaze obviously and a GS2 on order... So my more cutting edge themes should start back up... Just need to manage my theme work with my real life... Been focusing on work, my painting (water color) and a lot of charity work...

Not really sure why ICS has used such bold colours, lots of blue and yellow, and while some will like it, it's not very neutral. Seems a bit daft to me, surely grey on black would suit more people or at least be less specific in colour. Would rooting allow me to change these basic system colours, as themes on adw ex and tw don't seem to affect this. Also I don't really want to wander too far from stock ICS, just really have custom colours.
Massive appologies if this has already been asked, but I did do a search and found no answers. Also thanks in advance for anyone shedding any light on this subject.
because GB was so dam green?????? sorry got no sense out of it. and where is yellow?
sure notrunning some customized color ROM
ICS is blue custom roms are blue .
Your suggestion though holding merit is not what most want themes themes themes is all .
You hate the blue and i dont like the blue and its one of the reasons i have not moved to ICS .

you won't get real answers, as i doubt the people from android's design team read these forums
but anyway i find the ics design to be very smooth and elegant..
Was just hoping someone could recommend an as close to stock rom that had neutral colours or a tool for customizing the colours, seems not.

Anything good? Most of the ones I've seen have some good aspects to them, but I feel like most try to theme too much and it just looks ugly.
Any recommendations?

lol i guess it doesnt make sense. whats the point of a theme if it doesnt change things to a certain theme? better start with what you want themed? colors? notification or status bar? if you want just some changes, youll probably have to search for specific mods that only theme specific things.

I also use cobalt theme once in a while. it is themed really well too.
Vivid is nice not too over themed I'll post screens in a sec
This is a theme called vivid it's .99 in play store but I love it been using it since cm9 on inc2. The quick settings panels are also themed although I don't know how to screen shot them :-/
My new favorite theme:

Plain, but still different.
Still needs some work though. Not everything is themed correctly, and there's some issues with 3rd party apps. More icons need to be added as well. But it's still nice if you ask me.
There's a free version he offers on xda if anyone wants it:
