themer still need media utilities to make cover art?
if not, I want to make round cover art, where I can set it as the media utilities? because if I'm using clear rect to make it round,object under rect will cover.
if yes, I set cover art in media utilities into a round but when music playing cover art sometimes round and sometimes square, and size was changed.

Hi,
Themer doesn't require Media Utilities in order to display cover art. In fact, MU should be uninstalled else errors will occur in Themer. For now, the only way to get circular album art is to create a rectangle in Zooper, make it circular and set the mode to Clear.
Hope this helps!

Hey all,
I find it incredibly stupid that car home keeps the standard wallpaper and just dims it. I'm using the album art wallpaper and it makes car home almost unusable.
Would it be possible to force the system to change the wallpaper to a black background when car home is in use and then change it back when you close it?
Thanks!
If your screen is too dark:
Look on bottom right corner, under EXIT CAR MODE. See the little > right arrow?
Hit that and change your screen brightness setting.
Automatic > Night > Day
As for changing the wallpaper. I've never heard about that possibility.
Maybe someone with theming or morphing skillz will come across this thread??!

That should be possible with Tasker.
Unfortunately I use settings profiles and would hate to pay for a software to handle this one thing. I wish CM could incorporate this change into the nightlies!
Would be easy to do with Tasker which is a great app anyway. I recommend getting it and I'm sure you'll find some other useful things you can do with it too (it should easily replace settings profile for you too)
This should be a simple change, but apktool is acting up and won't recompile the apk. Hopefully I will have one available soon.
Cool thanks! You rock.
This is turning out to be significantly harder than it should be. aapt seems to be ignoring the entire res/values folder, so even an empty decompile/recompile fails (but works fine for every other apk I throw at it), and MetaMorph is just flat out having no effect. I will keep working on it, but for now it seems hopeless by divine force.

Even if you can't get it, I appreciate the effort!
So you couldn't get it going?
I really haven't looked into it but isn't it possible to theme the app to use a black interface instead of the transparent one it uses now? I mean replace the transparent .png's with black ones.
The background does not use images, it specifies a theme resourse and adds a transparent black color. I have been trying to change that resourse, without apktool playing nice there is no real way to do this. I tried changing the theme by editing the smali code, but that is overridden by the view's style attribute, and the theme can't be set after the view is inflated.
From what I have found, the only two options with out the ability to compile resource files is either to implement the original idea of blacking the wallpaper on run, or editing the compiled binary xml blob manually.
I could always make a simple service app to change the wallpaper on car mode toggle, that would be easiest at this point.
Update: Did some research, its impossible to set a live wallpaper through code using the public API due to security concerns, so that removes all non-resource ideas. This has to be done through the style resources of CarHome itself.
Some of my album art does not show in Google music. I looked in the folders and the jpg are there but they don't show. They do show up when I use other players such as winamp etc. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix?
In the past I've had art not show up for a little bit immediately after uploading them to Google Music, but it generally did start displaying eventually. In the cases where it didn't, I manually edited the album info on the Google Music desktop site (Select album > click the little icon at the bottom right where the art should be > Edit album info > "Change" to the right under where the art should be)
Thanks for the reply was hoping to be able to do it on the phone, but no such luck I guess...
Sorry to revive this old topic, but I'm still having this issue I can see my album artwork in the browser player, but only some of them are correctly shown in the phone app. I'm using this ROM. Has anyone found a solution for this?
Thanks!
Dear all
I Like themer customizations, but I feel other screens (like android settings, notification area, etc) is far from perfect, because they dont follow the same color scheme applied by the theme. I try to use CM10/11 themes to fill this gap, but the result is not always good.
Is there any tips or apps you recommend to 'theme' rest of android system, ie. main screens ? I use rooted and customized roms.
Thank you for the good work on themer.

Hi,
Themer is meant to change the look of your homescreen and app drawer, that is all. You're welcome to try and get the rest of your phone to suite a certain theme, but unfortunately we aren't involved with this process

Hi,
Please only post material that is relevant to the topic.
Hi, I'm trying to create a multi-screen wallpaper setup like in this build (http://mycolorscreen.com/2014/07/29/iren/) but how does one shrink their desired wallpaper to fill just half the screen? I tried bitmap but the scaling makes it difficult and blurry.
Thank you in advance.

Hi you could add a widget with full width or simply use photoshop to integrate the gray layer to your image.

I was going to simply cover the bottom half the wallpaper with a RECT overlay but it seems like the previous theme and this other one (http://mycolorscreen.com/2014/08/23/sportlife/) have a found way to shrink the wallpaper without losing detail or focus. When I tried inserting the wallpaper into a widget, it came out blurry cause I have to stretch it in order to fill the entire widget by increasing the scale (increased scale = blurry). Unless there's another way aside from bitmap or photoshop, I guess this is it then.
I didnt mean to use the wallpaper in the widget. You should cover the bottom half with a widget and set the wallpaper as usual.

Yea, I did that but that leaves me losing the bottom half of the wallpaper. I thought the two themes I looked at had a way of 'shrinking' the wallpaper to fit in the top half without losing detail. The method you suggested (if I'm reading it correctly) is to cover the bottom half with my widget (RECT + icons) and then set the wallpaper to auto-fit the top half. But the wallpaper still fills the entire screen. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

Hi,
There are two main ways of doing this. First is to use Zooper, and add the images as a bitmap. However if you said this makes the images blurry, Photoshop (or any other image editor) should do the trick. Simply take a screenshot of your homescreen, open that in Photoshop, then drag the wallpaper on where you want it to go.
Hope this helps!

Thank you! I just wanted confirmation on the bitmap scaling.
I have my album art embeded in my MP3 tags of my music files. The default music player on @Malaysk's ROM reads the cover art fine but the toast display on MVG-V70's mtc-music 2.0 doesn't seem to read it. I have tried changing album_cover=cover.jpg in the mtc-music.ini file but still nothing.
Could someone who has an account on 4pda.ru (and preferably speaks Russian) ask MVG-V70 how to make imbedded album art appear on the toast?
I have not been able to set up an account on 4pda.ru.
Thanks,
Steve
I don't think it works like that, that was the main purpose of the module to allow external album art to be used. Why not just put a cover.jpg in the relevant folders.

I have like 400+ MP3's on my SD card with them all embedded. Every player that I use can read them. I was just hoping that this would too.

Also enabled radio module ?
It also serves to show cover.

I think there are apps out there that will extract the embedded art and create a JPG. Assuming you have the music properly organized in \Artist\Album\*.mp3 format you shouldn't need to do much else.

I realize that I can extract the album art. I just wanted someone to ask the developer if maybe this functionality was already there or could easily be added. If not, it is no big deal and I can use a workaround.

Possible solution.
Check if mtc-music.ini
PHP:
# Transparency projection album cover in the screensaver (in fractions of 1). It lies on top of the background (transparent or black). To remove it completely, put = 0.
cover_alpha=0.25
Before restoring mtc-music.ini the Rom April 23
