How do I set my wallpaper in ICS to just be a color? A color that I want to make? I really like dark blue, so I want to make my wallpaper just a really dark blue. Everything else just shows pictures.
Download the app "colors" from the market and you can pick a preset color or choose your very own

Thanks! That worked perfect. Made a nice VERY dark blue for my wallpaper. Some times I just like a plain, clear background that's all. I'm not sure why the PRO version is over a dollar, if it was I would have supported.
Welcome dude. Yeah same here, pure black is awesome on amoled screens ! Super dark plus battery saver = win!

The Transformer has a Super IPS+ screen not an AMOLED. Therefore, black won't save power.
Woops wasn't aware of that, I have a nexus s I should've probably said that before

I'm just seeing if anyone has found any cool live wallpapers, especially ones with the android robot. I like using them but the only one I found that I like so far is the Google I/O 2011 one. Any one got any others??

The only live wallpapers I found that I liked were Vortex Galaxy, the super Mario one, and the seeds of life.

There is a cool PSP/PS3 live wallpaper. You know the wavy ribbon? I dig those.
Or the "secret" wallpaper of the windmill that displays the current weather condition in the background. Of course the dandilion is neat.. and zombie pixels
Wait, should I be posting these?
http://db.tt/iOQ2ajk This is the weather based windmill wallpaper.
The dandelion one keeps crashing, don't think its compatible with the qhd screen.

Puddle Drops (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.schulermobile.puddledrops) is awesome.
If you're a fan of True Blood, this one is pretty cool. Personally, I could take it or leave it, but my wife digs it and I need the points.
I'm enough of a perv to take a look at it...pm it to me lol

Thanks for all the help I've never really used live wallpapers on my og EVO because to me they seemed to have waisted too much battery, but on the 3D there seems to be no battery changes from lwp to regular wallpapers so I'm using lwp for now

Hi people!
I was just wondering: If my homescreen is black, would I save more battery than if my homescreen was colorful?
A silly question.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
I do not think that applies to LCD screens, as I read that it blocks the pixel to form black.

based on those, looks like using black is same as white or even more power hungry than white.
Howeever on LED is opposite of course.

ok people we got a good start on the new base no im going to ask what do you want in a theme my only rules are going to be no flaming and keep it realistic thank you all
A glass theme would be sweet
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
honestly something i notice quite a bit on xda is the overdoing of themes.
Im saying this as a graphic artist myself, a lot of the themes seem overdone and heavily colored rather than simple
my 2 cents
I'd like to see as many app icons themed as possible so when they're on 1 of my screens they match the theme in general and I like light blues or grey scale with a lot of themed apps
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
looking to start with a light blue, with some glass still got icons i think if any of you have seen my past work i like simple sharp looks not over done, but lets try something i did before lets make it interactive anyone that has skills or something to offer let me know and i can add you to a git i have set up for this done this before and had some cool stuff turn out. so if you want to give it a try shoot me a pm with your gmail

There are actually a few versions in the play store
I could be wrong though. I swear Manup456 made the Sense version I used to use but I don't see it anywhere. All I can find now are CM/AOSP versions like this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768848&highlight=matted+blues, made by jabbawalkee
I would like to see something similar to lunar ui for cm. Too many of the themes look the same. Also a decent blue theme exists for the one X called renovate. I am using his apk on superjelly and it looks good, but it doesn't theme enough. The status bar doesn't match very well and the clock doesn't change.

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a theme that keeps the stock look but goes with a Holo Light theme instead of the Holo Dark which Google just can't seem to shake.
Holo Light vs Holo Dark example
It would theme things like the Settings menu (which still has the dark theme) to look more consistent with where Google seem to be taking the colour scheme (Dialer, contacts, hangouts etc)
It would also be a bonus if some of the Holo Blue (#33b5e5) was replaced with KitKat White (#bebebe) to get rid of other inconsistencies, such as the volume bars, settings toggles (WiFi/BT).
I found this theme but the #33b5e5 just looks so out of place in KitKat..
Alternatively if anyone knows of another way to achieve this it would be good to know.
Thanks for reading!

You can always check on the G+ group for development. That's where the testers hangout haha, so maybe it's just a bug (or soon to be done).
