Not feeling the ICS Color Scheme - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

The teal color is horrid. Is there a way to change it? I was getting kinda used to the green on honeycomb.

Honeycomb was blue.
Gingerbread was green.

I like this color blue gives it a more up to date look. it pops out more now.

I love ICS color theme. I've been on it with my Galaxy Nexus for more than a month and it's the best of the bunch. I am glad it is not green anymore. ICS borrows a little from TRON and it works, even though I'm not a fan of the movies.

You'll probably have to wait for a dev to create a ROM then a theme for it like the OG TF. Also, watch were u post your questions, MODS don't like them anywhere outside the q&a section.

Is that really needed to have theme support on the rom to change the look from blue to another color? Is everything bitmap based, even on ICS? What a deception.

Can't something like ADW Launcher change the color theme?

No, it can't change the framework or systemUI or whatever ICS uses. I think most people are waiting on recovery before they theme, but I believe you can push a themed apk through adb

Does this work with 2.2.6? This theme looks real good
Wow. That does look good!!
Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
Ok I just flashed this. And overall it looked really good. But the dealbreaker for me was that the teal blue stripe was in the notification bar. It did not match the rest of the blues in the theme. That bar was the reason I used the black froyo theme. Im not trying to be insulting... Just my 2 cents.
cant download theemed swipe
i could at first but i flashed the rom theeme and swipe all at once.......then i had no market.so i did one at i time now it says problem with line 3 system app when i try to flash the swipe...........any help or ideas

Agreed man I couldn't have said it better! Seems like blue and green themes are everywhere. I personally like black froyo sex panther and minimal matte by jface on trigger 1.5.
This theme is great.

Theming GingerBlur 2.x

I was going to put this in the GingerBlur 2.5 thread, but got the smackdown for not having enough posts yet
I was thinking of theming kenneth's great GingerBlur ROM, but have noticed that some of the files seem to be in different places than expected.
It would be helpful if there was any guide or how-to on what .png files would need to be modified to theme particular areas specific to this ROM.
For example I had thought to change the color of the notification bar background you'd find statusbar_background.png in framework-res/res/drawable...alas nothing to be found.
Thanks!
I also want to change the lockscreen slider img.
The vast majority of your editable pngs are in drawable-hdpi, but many of them are draw-9 pngs and require some special handling to alter.

Lockscreen slider is a draw-9 png in the framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi folder. In order to alter it you would need to decompile the apk, as opposed to simply extracting it, change the image, and then recompile the apk. I am planning on starting a thread in the near future as a guide/discussion for theming.
Hey guys! Super glad that you all want to theme GingerBlur. I will encourage you to go ahead and wait until the release of GingerBlur 3.0.
Version 3.0 will have a re-worked framework that can be decompiled more easily. Theming will be a breeze!
Good luck!
Awwww man..

Awwww... I've themed it already.. lol.. here are some shots...

coool, cant wait. There are some aspects that I like changing (text colors mainly) and I hope it really is going to be a breeze. Changing images are easy in any case though. It's the text stuff that are tough.
Wow man that theme you got there looks pretty awsome!

Thanks... It's pretty much a mirror of that theme, but not as customized as Tones.. don't have that much time to mess with all the features
The origianl Galaxy S them has Blue, Green, and Red themes of the same.... which is where we both got the theme from to put it on the Atrix..
FYI some icons are in system/app/systemui.apk

Awesome news and a sincere thank you for all of your concerted efforts! Quick general question: do you know if Android supports transparency in the notification bar (the actual static bar at the top)?
I would assume so given they are .png; I think it would be pretty cool if you could have your notifications floating on top of your wallpaper.
adding transparency is not as simple as just editing the png's...you will also need to edit the services.jar in the framework (i think)...i know that is true for adding transparency to the notification bar dropdown...also after some research, launchers such as adw and launcher pro may cut off the wallpaper underneath the status bar, not sure about the stock motoblur launcher, so adding transparency may be pointless...
a more experienced dev or android user may know a bit about this...but i'm just sharing what i know...

WTH man??! Amazing screenshots!! This is exactly the color scheme I was wishing for on the Atrix!
How could you keep such good goodies only yourself? Or did you post your here somewhere?
Me would like it very much!
Thanks!

Edit: Sorry! those beautiful screenshots got me a head-rush! I read later it's work-in-progress. gold luck.

that's not true, i use paint.net and make transparencies on many of my png's, then simply add them back to the apk and vola.

please make a thread! i'm a little confused, i use 7-zip to extract (which you say is a no no), then change the images (even the .9's, i just add .png to the end, and yes i know that's a no no but that's the point of being deodexed, so you can throw any png in there and either match the name or change the xml, in my case, it works everytime....), throw them back into the apk, and either root exploror the framework back (with an immiediate reboot) or adb it in in between boots (the way your suppose to do it, unless you make an zip to flash which i don't know how).
this method works for me, but if you use root explorer, the rom erases your dialer history (odd, never happened on the cappy).
p.s. this isn't a guide, if somebody does this and bricks their phone, they can hold me responsible and sue me (as i have nothing, nor a job). but seriously, backup your framework and know how to use adb if you want to mod your framework...

The bar is a normal png, you can transparent it fine without any fancy coding.
Yes, the status bar image is a standard png and can be made transparent. However, the wallpaper does not expand behind where the status bar is - so even if you make your status bar transparent, some color needs to be represented behind it. I went into drawables.xml and set the status_bar_background to transparent as well but it still shows up black for the homescreen, it does stay transparent for apps though and shows up differently based on what app is running (aka, for words with friends it shows the blue stripes - but not when I screen cap). Here are some images of what I mean.
- black on the homescreen, wallpaper must not extend that high
- see straight through to the notifications
- shows more grey on my phone than here

What's the difference between a CM7 Theme and a launcher-specific theme?

I'm new to CM7, and I'm looking to try out some themes. One thing that I'm confused about is which category of theme I need and what the differences are.
So, I'm looking to change some of the base colors of the UI, such as that of the dialer, overscroll glows, default colors of sliders, etc...
I'm also running LauncherPro on top of CM7 (on an Atrix, if it matters).
Should I be looking at a CM7 theme or a LauncherPro theme? And what's the difference?

CM7 themes will change the UI of the phone itself... status bar, noticications backgrounds, buttons, etc... LP themes will change only things in launcher pro like widgets colors/backgrounds, icons on the launcher, etc.

Ah, now I understand. Thanks!
Using matching themes for both, i.e. ICS for both CM7 and LauncherPro, makes the cleanest looking interface.
If you want one of the best themes in my opinion for CM7 Theme Chooser check out Lunar UI. It also has ADW Ex/ Go Launcher and Launcher Pro versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1243590
Seriously one of the best out there.
I was also confused between these two types of themes. Thanks for clearing that up!

[Q] Light Theme

I have been running a 4.3.1 Paranoid Android build. I don't like the dark themes of the system apps. I prefer the stock LG User Interface and colors. I want to know how I can change from the default white text on black background to black text on white background. A color scheme similar to the stock LG UI is preferred. I also couldn't find a widget that matches the functionality of the stock ROM's notification settings. I really liked the brightness slider in the swipe notifications in the stock UI.
td;dr I want light holo theme on system apps.

Not sure if you have tried this? Xblast Exposed Frameworks Works great on my phone Samsung S2. Worth a glance maybe...
Look in the play store for "cm 10" or "cm 10.2" themes. Then in settings, find the theme section and apply your new theme. What gets themed will vary between themes, and some will be free as well as some running any where from $.99-$2.00. There are a wide variety of choices, just find one that matches your liking.
Also try adding search terms like light holo or white to narrow down what you want. There is also a thread here on xda showcasing themes made by members here, it should be in "android development" -> "android themes"
*edit*

There is a link to the thread, I hope you can find one to suit your liking.

I tried changing the dark holo background color to white, but I also had to change the default text color from white to black. This made the text unreadable in apps where the dark background did not change to white.

[Q] Kitkat Theming

Hello guys,
Since KitKat is not holo anymore and is more white instead I will like to theme few things on my ROM.
I will like to theme the settings black gradient to light grey with bit grey darker gradient.
Also I will like to theme anything on systemui dark BG to lighter grey as well as for sample all the pop ups and power options pop up.
Reason is because ROM I'm developing is named Chlorinious X.
Can someone please tell me where to look for and edit at framework-res.apk, settings.apk and others.
Thanks in advanve
I think you'll have more luck in the Themes section. PM a themer and hope for the best.
BTW, it's true that KK isn't pure Holo anymore, but it's more like a cross between Holo and Kennedy (think ChromeOS)
Thanks I will work on that suggestion as I'm willing to make a donation of $50-60 for this if anyone willing to help me out or $100 if help me theme the ROM itself
