so i'm trying to learn how to theme but i can only really get a hang of theming stuff like the framework-res.apk and easy stuff like that. some of the apps (like the calculator and what-not) have their stuff all in a xml file. how the heck do it edit that? i'm on a mac fyi..... i'm used to just replacing .png files. this seems to be a bit more complicated than i may be able to even do. any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
Miui theme developers are very helpful u might wana try posting there.

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.

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.

Well those guides are for apk theming. A keyboard is still an apk even though it may seem more simplistic. Trust me, they still apply
The basic idea is you're going to
1. open it up by unzipping or decompiling
2. edit the .pngs in the drawable-hdpi, drawable, or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders (there's other options too, but most everything you'll want will be in the drawable-hdpi)
3. close it back up by zipping or compiling.
Outside of that, you may need to edit xmls to change things like text color or background. This isn't always the case, it just depends on the apk.
Thanks makes sense now....will have to try it out when I get a chance gotta do sum reading up , thank you

Hey guys,
I'm building a theme and i'm running in to some trouble. I'm hoping someone might want to team up with me on this who has a little more experience. Currently, i have themed all the images in drawable-hdpi, and it took me about two days of work to do. I replaced the originals within 7zip with my new ones and then ran the rom through my kitchen to resign it...but now i'm getting errors about the framework when i try to do anything.
So anyway, i'd like to be able to just make this in to a flashable .zip theme that can be used on all the roms. If anyone can help me out, i'd appreciate it. Send me a PM and i will email you a zip of all the files i have themed so far, and we can collaborate from there. This theme is Orange...It looks real nice and i've put a lot of work in to it so far. Painstakingly long hours. Thanks in advance.

If your using 7zip to replace the images than there is no need to resign it.

Would any dev or anybody that has messed with sense 4.0 direct me how to resize and center the tabs in the recent apps drawer, I am currently running Newts One S RLS1 and the app drawer tabs are off the right. I have no idea of what I'm doing but I would also like to place the icons under the tabs like in the PKMN Rom and I believe chubbz Sense Rom as well. I am a noob and I would be so grateful for someone to at least tell me which files I am looking for (and I will try to figure out how to edit or change them on my own) any help would be appreciated

Nevermind, I have to decompile and recompile and I barely even know what those words mean atm. I have a lot of researching and reading to do to get an understanding of what I am up against and what I have to do. Wish me luck
