Several of you have made some fantastic themes, but not yet quite what I'm looking for. I'm and orange guy, so I'm looking for an orange theme. I was hoping that one of the themers out there would take the time to put together a little tutorial so that the rest of us could make some themes that suit us individually. I look forward to someone putting this together. Thanks. I don't know anything about m10 files and theming and what not, but I'm willing to give it a go with a little guidance to follow.

Are there any tutorials or walk throughs on how to make a theme or apply or customize/modify? I've searched and I'm really liking the awesome layouts some of you guys have posted in the screen shots thread.
When I was moddin my moto slide a few years ago, there were a lot of tutorials on how to change the looks of things, but I haven't been able to find anything here and I don't want to mess up anything, my phone is my only source of net, so if I screw it up, I'm done for!
I'm running xtrsense 4.1
sorry for the newb question and sorry if this should've been posted in q&a but I thought I might get better responses in the theme section of Eris since I'm looking for specific info pertaining to this section of the board.
Thanks in advance for any and all help
If you really wanna go wild with the theming, it's much easier to go with a Cyanogen based rom. Sense roms can be a PITA to theme. Some pages you'll want to check out though:

Thanks for the info! From what I've gathered so far is, you can flash a whole theme to the phone or just bits n pieces that you like and make something that's mixed and matched to your liking?
Are there any threads floatin around with fully complete themes that would work on an Eris runnning xtrsense?
I swear that I can remember there being a host of Metamorph themes that will morph SenseUI with dark Rosies and different types of batteries (yes, I know there are lots of circle battery flashes) and things.
I scum through the Hero themes and apps, and can't find much.
I scum thorugh the Eris themes and apps, and SWEAR I can remember more, months ago.
I am I confused? I feel like SOMEONE would have/did make a blue battery/highlight color flash, or a different Android guy when a no-picture-stored contact/caller is on the line, or a graphite/black battery, or clear notification bars.
I see that there are LOT of cyanogenmod themes, and that's super. But although I see an awesome orange xtrSense theme there, I am lost on where all the metamorph themes I remember seeing, went to.
I feel stupid almost, since I've been around computers for years, and spent LOTS of time on forums, and even helping people, and rooting friends' phones, etc etc etc.
I swore I remember seeing a HTC hero theme repository thread with like 100 different little themes and metamorphs. I can't even find that (assuming any of those would work).
Am I crazy? Confused? (feel free to slap sense into me if so)
Where are all the SenseUI metamorph themes? Do I need to try to learn how to make some?
Yessir
I've been wondering this too, I remember before I rooted seeing a picture of an Eris with a black rosie and all the grey turned black. Heck that was half the reason I rooted, but I never have found it lol. guess I got side tracked.
I've been thinking of trying to make some Themes for punk.kaos's froyo sense when it gets stable. I've figured out a little about theming android, (I'm still not that good and have never themed sense, so dont expect much.)
I'd LOVE to have a white and blue sense theme though, that'd be on point.
I have only made two themes for the eris. One I posted on here the other is not done, so I guess that technically 1 1/2 but who's counting, and I can tell you it is more tideous work then actual challenge. The reason for lack of themes is probably just a demand thing. Most people that have the eris have had it for awhile. So they either already have it how they like it or have moved onto another device. I think it would be great for those of us with the eris to help out with theming and developing. With all the hard work the developers put in to the roms the least us as the end user can do is make some themes for others to use and give a variety of option for roms to look. </rant>
I think that may come off harsher then it was meant to when I was typing this. Anyway, if you or anybody else on here needs help making themes, I would be more than happy to help in anyway I can just message me on here I check this place probably 50 times a day. I would love to help some people get on the theming bus and help make some new themes for us to choose from.

Click to expand...

I dont think thats harsh at all, its just plain fair.
the handfull of devs here work so hard bringing us roms we never would dream of seeing on our phone, the least we can do -if we are able- is contribute a little time to editing some pictures. it makes all our phones have that many more options. course...lifes not fair
I would love to learn. Where do you suggest I start? I've already taken pieces from several different themes to make what I want. I would like to see a nice sense ui theme. It can be done, shadowrom has a theme that is as close to sense that I've seen yet. They got about everything but HTC Widgets and the real htc launcher. However the themer made an HTC launcher dock background and some blank icons that when using launcher pro is very nice because your icons don't show up on the dock like they normally would. What would it take to incorporate the real launcher into a theme?

Here are some of the metamorphs I think you were talking about. Really the only ones I could find that seem to work. I know there's more out there. Anyone else got anything?
Simple Black Lockscreen arch
Espresso Rosie!
Im tryint to figure out where to find the icons at. I want to change my folder icons blue. Any help would be appreciated
I've been helping buddies get rooted on their phones and one thing they always want is a custom theme... because of this I research and find good (professional) ones for them, and there are MANY to choose from.
I don't expect people to start fresh, but can some of these be ported?
Bring the Vibrant some Sexy-Time.
Black Froyo is amazing... wish there were more options
(especially ones that played well with Nero too)
Back in the game and I've really just started using widgets to customize if you dont mind losing some battery life launcher pro plus is awesome for this

I agree but beggers can't be choosy. I would love to learn how to theme however I never find the time to learn with so many things going on in my life. I read somewhere that junkdruggler will help you theme if you ask. Hopefully next Monday pr Tuesday I can start to play with new themes and morphs.

I know good and well where my skill set lies, and it's not with themes. I can beg all I want to, just hope it benefits ALL of us.
Just a heads up, a basic theme for the Vibrant will involve roughly 750 image edits in order to make it consistent enough to feel right. That isn't even getting into app specific edits to fit the system theme.
You think it's possible if we all share these files in PSD and edit them from there? The only thing I know how to do is edit pictures on Photoshop which I usually do. I haven't even tried edit .9.pngs but i'm willing to do it if it's not that time consuming either.
That would be pretty awesome if we had a shared dropbox folder or something.... shoot, I'll try and learn!
Is there a tool or something that makes it easy to create sense skins instead of editing most of the 700 pngs to your liking.
Also when I use m10 editor to edit those parts for skins, I cant seem to get the picture out to skin it. They say to right click and then click show in exploer I think but it does not work.
Yes, this or a tutorial would be awesome.

I thought one had been posted back before Christmas but was taken down shortly afterwards. I'd love to see something like this posted and maintained, and I'd study the hell out of it to put some good skins out on the forums.
This is exactly what I'm looking for. Any info would be appreciated! I've been wanting to skin the system to look like the Pipboy 3000 from Fallout 3. Not only that, I have a ton of other ideas I want to start working on.
I know the Thunderbolt had a lot of skins you could download and install to use with the HTC skin picker. Can we build the skins the same way? I think there is a Thunderbolt thread on how to do this.

If you are somewhat familiar with theming, I don't mind teaching. Just PM me.

foreverloco over in the t mobile thread has put together some amazing looking aosp themes for touchwiz. can anyone with the knowledge port these, I haven't asked foreverloco and its clearly states you need his consent. So if anyone feels ambitious lets see if he will grace us with that nice theme.
I am working on this but on blue
