I have Onyx R3, the settings are colored, they look childish. I was wondering of themer can edit the .XML files and make into a metmorph? I already tried taking the settings.apk from Obsidian and I softbriked pushing it.
Anyways, if you can do this, I really apreciate it.
So you just want black and white settings icons? I can do it after work today.
Why did you make them colored to begin with?
The icons in the menu or the power widget?
I have an all black settings widget I can upload..

Yes, just simple black and white icons for settings. Onyx R3 comes with settings colored, so I grabbed the settings from Obsidian.
I mean, the settings. No the powerbar, the apk.
Oh ok..so you good?

Thanks so much! omg.. this is fantastic.
Wassup guys?!?
As you may know, the Wildfire has a low-res screen - with a relatively small number of pixels/inch (pixel density) - this is called low density or LDPI. However, CM7 currently uses MDPI resources - which are higher-res and are made for screens with higher pixel density.
So why should this bother you? Because these images are scaled down by the system to fit our screen - and they lose their sharpness and goodness as intended by Google, and the result is... yucky. Gradients get choppy and weird unintended colours pop up. And, the icons are small enough that due to our low pixel density, they use very few pixels and are washed out and ugly.
That's where this theme comes in. It turns out, AOSP has complete LDPI support for the main framework, so I ported those resources and resized/cropped/edited SystemUI resources to better fit our screen. Also, the icons are larger and easier/more pleasant to see on our low-res screen. Gradients are now how they were always meant to be - a smooth transition from one colour to another.
Download here.
Enjoy LDPI goodness. I doubt you won't like this if you're a fan of stock gingerbread.
What's themed
-Entire framework (dialogs, spinners, buttons, backgrounds, etc)
-Status bar icons and notification dropdown
-Settings icons
-Smooth indeterminate progress bars (stock is so choppy)
-Battery percentage / supercircle mod (separate versions)
To Install
Install apk file like normal from a file manager.

Not only icons, I ported the ldpi framework from AOSP and I'm in the process of ldpi-izing SystemUI.
That means pretty much anything with a gradient looks waaaay better now.

didn't they say that a long time ago. lol
and ALSO why not make your own theme instead of complaining? And if you can't you can at least say your 'requests/suggestions' in a nice way, what you did was sooooooo demanding.

@OP: thanks in advance for this.
When this theme is finished, it would be great if it is integrated in cm7 by default. is there a change?
EDIT:woow it is finished! Thank you!

OK I have tried everything on UOT Kitchen to make the back ground black and slightly transparent , I spent at least 3hrs trying to figure it out. Every time I think I got it when I plug in to usb the notification area is all black you cant see any words until you touch the screen, then it highlights the word.I love everything about this rom and all of the mods. I would like it that much better if all the back grounds where black . Thanks CleanROM GBE 1.6.5 - Base: OTA 2.01.605.11
Are you talking about the notification drop down menu?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I'd use the kitchen just to make a package but add the images manually once you decompiled. the uot is only useful for a base. it ruins lots of xml coding which is needed to invert black/white colors within the pulldown status. hope that helped

Yes I'm talking about the notification drop down menu. So close . oh well Thanks
So you just want a solid black slightly transparent background with white text? If that's it ill make it for you
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Yes solid black mostly. With white text . Thank you guys very much for the quick response.
No problem, I'll do it when I get home from work

Sorry for the confusion. What I want is everything that has a white back ground I would like it black . It just looks cleaner. But I'm okay either way because this Rom runs smooth.

Hi all,
searching on google i've seen in some screenshots about droid dna the new weather icons more refined than one x, one s, ecc....
http://techworld24.com/wp-content/p...99a8ade20_home-20screen-20weather-220-100.jpg
can someone say me which versions of sense has this new style weather icons?
thanks in advance
That is Sense 4+ that comes stock on the DNA.

thanks for you answer. i've downloaded a flashable zip of dna stock rom.
i've found weather icons in com.htc.weather.res.apk. i wanted to use that but are very strange jpg's, because they have a strange background (filled of a mix of colours as in the attached image) instead of transparent background. do you know why?

Jpg's will always have a white or colored background. You can achieve a transparent background with a png for example.

ok, thanks.
but i don't understand because the icons are not already png's with transparent background. i'm trying to cut out icons and erase that background but is very difficult.
thanks anyway
