I've been working on this theme for a while now, I keep running into issues, but for the most part I've been able to do what I need to do. I'm still tweaking things here and there but will make sure to update with the zip folder containing the theme. The notification bar is hidden and can be pulled down by swiping down or clicking the icon on the top. The app drawer can be brought up from the icon along the center of the bottom.
Any comments are always helpful, let me know what you guys like and don't like. Loving this app so far!
*Updated Zip (01-14-14)*
fine looking theme m8
Looks awesome! The only thing I didn't see in the screenshots was the app drawer icon. If you could squeeze that somewhere and publish already - that'd be great. I'd love to install it and see how it handles.
Thanks guys, the theme's complete and I've sent it to MCS. Hopefully we'll see it on their homepage soon.
The app drawer is accessed by the icon that is at the center of the bottom.
I'll publish this for you guys when I get home!
Yay

Sorry for the silly question, but how do I import a theme into themer using the zip?

Download the zip folder and place it into your SD card under the MyColorScreen>Themer>Exported directory. You'll then be able to select it from clicking Browse Themes>Exported Themes.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is off the top of my head

Thanks for that. So, all the different "themes" shown on the mycolorscreen website...do those all need to be replicated manually? Or is there a zip file for each one of those?

That depends on if that person set it up using themer or not. I've seen a lot that use nova launcher and a few other widget programs so I believe those have to be replicated manually. That's the nice thing about themer, put the zip folder on your phone and it works right away.

I learned by going the long way, it goes into the zip folder in the exported folder
Works for me! Good job! One thing though...on the main screen, the three icons for camera, calendar and Chrome don't work. It brings up the playstore with "retry" on it. I have all those installed. How do I change what app they are pointing to?

I literally just made a shortcut to the Camera, Calender and Browser and changed the icon. I'm sure the icons are in the zip folder so you could always delete the shortcuts, add them again with your shortcuts and change the icon. It works correctly on my phone surprisingly
Wow amazing work!!!!
What I would recommend is that you can use holo looks ...Everyone likes holo looks !! black doesn't suit this type of setup.try using transparent glass background(I mean kinda like a tinted glass or a semitransparent glass)

Probably a bad download. Thanks for letting me know it works.
No problem!
This is a great theme. I would like to give MrDSL a big thanks as he does not even have a MT4G to test this theme on. Oh and there is much more skinned than shows in the screen shots. Many of the apps like gmail, and market etc have also been reskinned. The market is a beautiful transparent with a touch of blue.
I will try to get some screen shots of this up today.
Where's the redhead? lol

I think you have to get that wallpaper separately. I'm not where I can upload it right now. Maybe MrDSL can upload it.
It should have done the wallpaper with the theme but maybe its handled different on MY4G..You can get it here
How would I go about getting JUST the cool status bar? Really digging the battery speedometer. =0)
MrDSL for some reason the Wallpaper is not working. I did see your wallpaper in the framework-re.apk/drawable-hdpi but for some reason it is not installed or even available through the wallpapers function in settings.
MrDSL I have noticed a couple more minor things. The Google Search widget is completely transparent, not sure if this is by design? There are just 2 symbols on either side, the microphone and Google icon on the other, nothing in the middle but the text search. Also in the widget selection menu after selecting google search widget, the list of options or type of search widget, the icon for web is missing.
When you open up the search in the browser the microphone on the right side can't be seen as it is white in color and so it blends in with the search frame.
I hope this makes sense and I will later put up some screen shots for you.
great work!
This is the real deal right here, love the color scheme with great detail!!
Great job!!
Ok MrDSL here are some Screen Shots of some of the possible minor issues. I will post some more screen shots in another thread also, don't want to be too confusing.
Great job. I really like it.

Yeah the Google widget is transparent by design although that blue Google icon on the right isn't suppose to be there..I missed a image edit there..attached is how it should look..I will fix it later..its a market app so if you want just delete it and install it from market.
Personal preference I guess cause I like it transparent on my home screen and I know the icons are there

I'm not sure if you can do it from the stock home screen, but if you use a home replacement like Launcher Pro you can long press the icons and it will give you the option for a custom icon. If you google png (insert whatever your looking for) icon pictures it will give you lots of options. Once you have one you like click on it and save as (whatever). Than put it on your sd card and your good to go. Those pictures should go into your gallery.

also, if you have not discovered it by now, with launcher pro you can pretty much add any picture you put in your gallery, like a jpg, and make it your icon. really cool if you you want to make face shots of people your icons, lol!
I was wondering if anyone can help me out and make this Beautiful widgets skin for me or at the very least help me do it. They have changed the way they theme the SC now and the pngs have borders around them similar to a PNG.9 which I could edit, but these are just pngs, so I'm not sure what to do with it. I tried, but it didn't show up. Thanks in advance. Below is the thread the theme is located:

I wasn't trying to bother you bro. You already were busy, but I thank you. Do you have to have the default or can you use a skin? because the default skin is not on the sd card, it's in the apk itself and hard to find.
nah man, its cool.. i wanna help. I've never really used beautiful widgets so i am not sure how it works but from what i understand you have the default widgets and they have a themeing engine where you donwload skin apks and you can select between skins through the app?

That's right, but The default widget is in one of the drawables and I can't tell which. I can post the folders in a zip and also what I got so far.
Below is the drawable and drawable-hdpi out of beautiful widgets, the skin I had been working on called SparkICSClockSkin. after all it is your original creation, and some skins I downloaded that you can use for an example.

Alright, thanks. I already did all the pngs in the zip above called, SparkICSClockSkin.zip, but I don't know how to compile it. I already tried it regular, and I already put borders around it like a png.9 but can't get it to show up for nothing.
I also think I just found a Beautiful widgets dev kit. Check attachments.
Here is a little info on it too: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/th...-widgets-skinning-thread-147.html#post1309792
did you decompile the apk or did you just extract? it seems you just extracted it thats why the .9 borders arent showing up....

I got it working, I just have to edit it to look a little better now, but you don't extract the skins. their just in a folder on the sd card in Beautiful widgets/skins/scskins, but They are compiled like png 9's but you don't have to run them through eclipse like you would for framework. I got it working by using draw9patch and then changinging it from a png9 to a png. then I rebooted and it showed up. just needs a touch up.

ok i guess what your way is just replacing the image files in it but they are originally .9s
but your way should work too
We're your able to come up with anything ?
I did replace them with png 9's but I just changed the 9 to just png like in the folder, bc I don't see the ext 9.png. But anyway, here is what I got, but you can barely see the blue border I made, because of the stretching, and I don't like the numbers or how close the number background is..

super clock theme
my first watcha think?
That's good stuff. I actually couldn't get it the way I wanted it on beautiful widgets, bc I hate how close the number backgrounds are when compared to real sense clock, so I made one for Fancy widgets. Here's mine. Original is on the left and mine is on the right.
Heey guys last week I made my own uccw clock and I really like it.
I thought it looked great on nova launcher. it looks almost the same as this clock only you have another weather icon and the font is bit smaller but feel free to edit everything !
http://mycolorscreen.com/2013/05/29/clean-white-minimal-sense-like/
download the file attached in this post after you have downloaded put uccw clock skin.uzip in the uccwoutput folder on your phone. now go back to your homescreen then add a widget choose uccw. tab uzip scroll down to uccwoutput and choose uccw clock skin.uzip
tadaa now you have it
sorry i had now idea how to give it to you guys thanks to @nightwalkerkg i maked it work the file is now an .zip so extract it to uccwouput folder then the clock should work !!!
Nice,i plan to start making them,do you have any tutorial i could use ?
Great work.
I couldn't find the uzip file I did found a. uccw file which I renamed to. Uzip using es file explorer but just got a fc of uccw and a blank white widget any help
There is no uzip,just extract the files from the zip into the UltimateCustomClockWidget folder on sdcard. I don't think they go into uccwOutput folder. I will test it now to see.
EDIT: I am gettin skin deleted error. I will check what is going on. @NigelDX if you have this skin on your phone,open it in uccw,click on save and then save as uzip and upload that.
Also you can use this tutorial to make apk out of the skin.
Sorry guys if im right it works now ! let me know.
EDIT: if you are planning on using it for nova launcher the best look you get when you put width margin of medium and height margin on none

This would be great since it would more easily allow you to select the correct version of your saved theme.
you mean preview to see where you are up to ? if you want a preview of the home screen,simply copy your wallpaper too your pc,rename it the same name as your theme,ie if theme is called new then rename the pic new,then copy it back over to my colortheme/exported/thumbs

You can also just rename it in your File Explorer if you have one installed. We are working on a way of improving this feature soon.

Hi kwest12,
Unfortunately not yet. The front end of Themer will always receive more attention than the editing side. I'll speak to the developers today about this and see how easy it would be to implement. I agree it does make things a lot easier, however the process to implement this can be very complicated.

Broken screen.... transfer modified theme help
I shattered my old phone's screen, so I cannot see anything from the phone. However, I can look at the SD card from my computer (the external is is my new phone). I would like to import a theme that I extensively modified on my old phone. I thought I had saved it/exported it... I guess I did not, as I see no files in the directory mentioned in previous posts.
From what I can see on my computer, it looks like the theme I worked on exists on the internal SD card. However, it is not neatly compiled in a .zip file. Is there a correct way to move these files over to my new phone so that I can use this theme without re-modifying everything?
Thank you!

When you export a file - it's saved in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip folder as a .zip file. All you need to do a place this file (don't extract it) into the same place on another phone. If that folder isn't there - export any theme in order for Themer to create the zip folder.
