good luck
Found it. Thanks a lot!
Hi guys. I just wanna know how to edit this "place", where you click menu or 4 shortcuts, for example in Wolfbreak's or Achotjan's ROM. I don't wanna blue-like color - just full black, like status/notification bar. If I good remember something like this was in Wolfbreak's CM6/Android 2.2 ROM. Hope someone tell me how to, or tell where to edit, or do this for me . Thanks!
Not sure, but there is a transparent sony 2.3.3 dock bar (search in Dev or themes/apps sections. This will noy give you black dock bar, but you will at least know what files to look for. Also might be possible to use uot kitchen,maybe!!

Thanks, but can't find it. Hope someone tell me more about it soon.
you didn't search very well, see this thread here
Nevermind - already find this myself . It's in Home.apk in drawable-hdpi if someone want to know .
Hi,
I have installed GingerDX (v027) on my X8. In the Theme Chooser I have two themes to choose from: ICS and System (which is the one I use).
I really like how my phone looks as it does now, the only thing I would like to change is the color of the icons in the status bar (and of the main icons, if possible, of Call, Messages, Browser and the like) from green to something else, preferably blue.
I asume the right way to do this is by changing the theme (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I've read that CyanogenMod usually comes with three default themes (one theme in three different colors) and I would like to know where I might be able to find those themes (again, I'm asuming that the one I'm using, System, is one of those three).
I have tried downloading CM7 and extracted the files in the hope that I could find .apk files for the themes, but if they're there I don't know what they're called (there is a ThemeChooser.apk (and a ThemeChooser.odex file that I don't know what does), which I asume would install the app Theme Chooser again, but I don't know if the themes are included in that install).
I am a bit worried, though, that I've misunderstood something, because when I try to apply the other theme, Ice Cream Sandwich, the color of the icons aren't changed (but, there is also a warning when I try to apply the theme about missing assets for my screen size, maybe that is what is screwing things up). But if I have misunderstood this entire thing and a theme doesn't change the colors, then what does (do I need to get a new launcher for that then)? (I have the Nemus Launcher that came with GingerDX by the way)
Okay, this got a bit lengthy, so to recap:
I want to change the standard green color (to blue) without changing much else (I'm not too fond of most other themes I've seen, so the default theme in other colors would be fantastic)
Is it possible to find those default themes, and if so, how and where?
Thank you for your help,
Erica
(A side question: how do I delete the ICS theme?)
The other two themes you are talking about are Cyanbread and Androidian. The ThemeChooser.apk it's the theme chooser itself. They are normal CM7 themes, like ICS. Devs have eventually removed those 2 themes from their ROMs because they were old and not maintained anymore. System theme is the default theme of CM7/Gingerbread. You can't uninstall that one.
The "missing assets for the screen size" it's a bug which appears whenever you try to apply an MDPI theme. It's not screwing up anything, I can assure you that.
Also, what colors are you trying to change? Maybe you could give some screenshots.
You can delete the ICS theme by going into system/apps/ with a file manager with root capabilities.
First of all, thank you for the quick reply! (that was so unexpected - I guess I'm used to slow moving forums)
Secondly, it worked! Once I knew the names of the themes it was easy to find them. Also, thank you for the general info - it's good to know (I'm slowly becomming a little less of a noob).

Also have a look at themed & apps section....
there are some nice themes created by Chris95X8 & achep...
Is it important how did i send this?
Can some help me get my hands on a free version of steel blue theme? It looks great!!!
(Neo_na, isn't that a bit off topic? Oh well.)
If anyone's curious, here's an update on my color problem.
Installing Cyanbread sort of solved the issue: it changed the icons in the status bar from green to blue and the icon color (as well) from green to blue, which was what I wanted.
It didn't though change the color of the dots at the top of the screen (the ones that show where you are on the desktop) which was still green. I'm guessing, now that I know a bit more about themes and their different options, that it would have been possible to choose to hide those dots, but since I didn't know better I went looking for another solution (another reason for that is also that although Cyanbread is blue, then it's not the right kind of blue that matches the cover color of my phone - yes, I'm a bit of a perfectionist...)
I went looking for themes and found that both ADW and Go Launcher EX had a lot of good ones. I quickly realized, though, that none of those themes changed the status bar (which meant that I was back to my original problem).
So, here's my final solution (at least until I dare try my hand at making my own theme):
I found and installed a CM7 theme whose status bar I liked.
Then found a (in this case AWD) theme whose icons I liked.
Then changed the background image.
= a phone without any green!
(In the end I veered away from blue and I've ended up with a nice light glassy white combination that works really well with my prefered wallpaper. I've still chosen to hide the status bar though, since it's not a complete match and the screen looks better without it. And I've went into the CM7 settings to customize the lockscreen to fit as well as posible - I tried finding Go Locker themes, but none of them were perfect. The only odd bits of stray color is now an orange line that shows when you hit the top and end of the app drawer and I've had to chose to hide the background of the dock icons, since it looked botched on my phone for some reason - both are things I can easily live with.)

Nope, I don't think so. Coz its under themes category with a thread named 'default themes for theme chooser' so I just posted my question in a similar thread, which is, I am looking for a theme called steel blue.
And also since Chris is a Guy famous for theming I was hoping for an answer from him.
@chris - And btw, your xperia s theme looks great mate!!
This might just be pouring fuel on the fire, but...
Neo_na: The reason why I think your post is off topic is because it has nothing to do with the original post (it might fit in with the title, but only if you haven't read the rest of the post).
I think you need to ask your question in another thread, possibly make a new thread for it, if you want it answered (especially since I've already labelled this thread as answered).
Though, just a warning, I think your request might clash with the forum rules (about not promoting or discussion "warez"). Just a heads up.

Lol, I'd rather post in existing threads that are very similar to my query rather than create threads for each and every question, like you probably do (which is like spamming and discouraged by xda). haha.... and no, you're not pouring fuel...... and btw, there's no such thing as private threads even if the thread was created by you..... you're acting like nobody can post or ask anything coz its YOUR thread and only your issues should be solved in this thread. Its like a Guy claiming a public phone Booth to be his alone....,..

Its not easy dude.. Colors.xml, styles.xml, layout files and pngs.. There is plenty of roms available with black ui add ons.. U can flash one of them na? Easy na?
no i have seen that yes there is a couple of roms available with black ui add ons, one of them is yours and i like it.
but the reason why i want to do it on my own phone is because i want to learn how to do it
i have found guides on how to theme media apps from white to black and that was not so complicated but to theme system seems not to be easy

Some apps like Packageinstaller, Clock, TeleServices, Sound picker are very easy to theme black. But some like InCallUI and Phonebook is little tough...
@Rajeev
