I have created Atrix 4G-specific custom themes for use with the CyanogenMod 7 ROM (as well as any CM7-based ROM that includes Theme Chooser). They were created using UpwardSpiral's excellent themes as a base, with additional tweaks and changes (i.e. status bar icons and 1% battery icons) and many additional themed elements for various applications.
The themes come in seven colors: Alien Green, Cool Blue, Dark Side Red, Deep Purple, Grid Orange, Ice Blue, and Mellow Yellow. I have also included a version specifically for Dorian's RedPill-CM7 ROM; it is identical to the Alien Green theme but with RedPill-themed battery indicators, and includes two additional wallpapers.
I hope to update these themes from time to time in order to add new themed icons for various applications, as well as updated elements for new app releases. I'm also willing to do what I can to theme apps by request, but refer to the FAQ post for reasons why I might not be able to get to them all.
Features:
HDPI only (MDPI and LDPI images not needed for Atrix 4G)
"Replace battery" graphic uses Atrix 4G image instead of generic image
Custom, theme-colored battery, data, signal, and wi-fi icons
1%-step battery icons
RedPill theme uses "red/blue pill" battery icons
All other status bar icons are ICS style (some theme-colored)
"H" signal icons changed to "H+" (for AT&T HSPA+)
Separate "3G" and "H+" icons
Data, signal, and wi-fi icons all one color (no white icons)
Wallpaper for use with UpwardSpiral's Theme Chooser Wallpapers (see below)
CM7 apps themed
Google apps themed
Many third-party apps themed
Installation instructions:
Download or copy the theme file to your phone.
Install it via File Manager by tapping the filename and following the on-screen instructions.
Open Theme Chooser, scroll to the theme, and select Apply. Theme Chooser will display "Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size." This is normal; just select Apply Anyway.
It is recommended that you reboot your phone in order to ensure that the theme has fully "taken hold."
Wallpapers:
Each theme includes a selection of wallpapers that are colored specifically to the theme. In order to use these wallpapers, you must install UpwardSpiral's Theme Chooser Wallpapers app, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
Link to Theme Chooser Wallpapers
The app is based on the CyanogenMod wallpaper selector, and works in an identical fashion. Once installed, long-press on the home screen and select Wallpapers. You will see a menu item for the particular theme (i.e. "Atrix Ice Blue Wallpapers"). Select that item, scroll to the wallpaper you wish to use, and select Set Wallpaper.

1.2.0 - 17-Apr-2012
Fixed: The Mellow Yellow theme had colors and theme elements that were out of step with the other themes. (My fault; the procedures I was using to update my themes were not including the Mellow Yellow theme.)

Added: Themed elements and/or launcher icons for the following apps: Amazon Kindle, Auto SMS, Box, FlexT9 Text Input, Pimp My CPU, PlaylistCleaner, PrinterShare, Simple Calendar Widget, Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, Widgetsoid, Wiki Mobile, YPmobile.

Updated: Various theme elements (check boxes, radio buttons, etc.) were changed to more closely conform to ICS style.
Updated: The notification status bar, pull-down bar, and drop-down background were changed to make them a little snazzier, with a touch of the theme color added and the "Android Guy" in the lower corner of the drop-down background (except for the RedPill theme, which has a "red pill" graphic).
Updated: The background of the separator bar in the notification drop-down was changed to black, as the light gray text on a gray background was difficult to read.
FAQ:
Will these themes work on Blur-based ROMs (DarkSide, Aura, NottachTrix, etc.)?
No. They are designed specifically for the T-Mobile Theme Engine that is integrated into CyanogenMod 7. They will not work on Blur-based ROMs, as they do not incorporate the Theme Engine. Any CM7-based ROM for the Atrix 4G (such as RedPill-CM7 and CM7 itself) can use these themes, provided the ROM also includes the Theme Chooser app (some CM7-based ROMs, such as Neutrino, do not include it by default).
Will these themes work on CM9 or other ICS-based ROMs?
Not at this time, as neither pure ICS ROMs nor CM9 include the T-Mobile Theme Engine. In any event, I don't have CM9 or ICS on my phone, thus I couldn't test it even if they did.
Will these themes work on CM7-equipped phones other than the Atrix 4G?
They should, as Theme Chooser themes are supposed to be compatible across multiple devices, but I do not guarantee this. Additionally, these themes include elements that are specific to the Atrix 4G (such as "H+" data icons) and do not include lower-resolution elements (MDPI and LDPI); the latter means that the theme won't work on some phones, while the former may make your phone look a bit weird.
Could you tell us your inspiration behind the names of the themes?
Alien Green - A common color to represent aliens in science fiction
Cool Blue - Think of the blue of a mountain lake or the deep ocean
Dark Side Red - The Star Wars films, as well as nottach's DarkSide ROM
Deep Purple - "Smoke on the Water" and "Hush" are great rock songs
Grid Orange - The TRON films (TRON and TRON: Legacy)
Ice Blue - Just a lighter shade of blue, reminiscent of ICS
Mellow Yellow - The trippy Donovan song from 1967
RedPill - The Matrix films, where green is used to represent the Matrix
Why am I not seeing the 1% battery icons?
Go into Settings - CyanogenMod Settings - Interface - Status Bar Tweaks - Battery Status Style, and make sure that it is set to "Icon (Default)."

Note that most of these apps were already themed in UpwardSpiral's original themes; additional ones were added by me. Most apps just have themed launcher icons, while some apps have additional themed elements. Finally, I may have missed a few, since some of the theme configuration files were hard to decipher in order to nail down the specific apps.
Could you theme "application X"?
If I can, I will, but it may not happen immediately (and if it's a paid app, there's probably very little chance I will, especially if it's an app I'm not interested in purchasing). All of the themed apps in the above list were either already themed by UpwardSpiral or were apps I already had which I themed myself. If you suggest a free app, I can install it and try to theme it (even if it's just to add a themed launcher icon), but I make no promises.
Are there apps that you have been (or are) unable to theme?
Several, in fact. This mainly has to do with the limitations of creating Theme Chooser themes under Windows: the tools being used do not allow for upper case characters in filenames. Annoying, but since I didn't write the tools, there's little I can do about it. The following apps are ones that I have been unable to theme:
Alarm Clock Plus
Call Blocker
Camera ZOOM FX
Dolphin HD
DropSpace
FasterFix
GScript Lite
myAT&T
QuickPic
RealCalc
RssDemon
SwiftKey X
Super Manager
Titanium Backup
There are undoubtedly others out there that I will run into myself, or will be suggested by others. Believe me, I'd like to theme them, but unfortunately, I can't.
Very beautiful！thank you！
Love the Cool Blue theme on Neutrino ROM!

I hate when that happens. Try the link now, I moved the files to a different service (MediaFire).
Thanks. I love the themes!

I have been running a 4.3.1 Paranoid Android build. I don't like the dark themes of the system apps. I prefer the stock LG User Interface and colors. I want to know how I can change from the default white text on black background to black text on white background. A color scheme similar to the stock LG UI is preferred. I also couldn't find a widget that matches the functionality of the stock ROM's notification settings. I really liked the brightness slider in the swipe notifications in the stock UI.
td;dr I want light holo theme on system apps.

Not sure if you have tried this? Xblast Exposed Frameworks Works great on my phone Samsung S2. Worth a glance maybe...
Look in the play store for "cm 10" or "cm 10.2" themes. Then in settings, find the theme section and apply your new theme. What gets themed will vary between themes, and some will be free as well as some running any where from $.99-$2.00. There are a wide variety of choices, just find one that matches your liking.
Also try adding search terms like light holo or white to narrow down what you want. There is also a thread here on xda showcasing themes made by members here, it should be in "android development" -> "android themes"
*edit*

There is a link to the thread, I hope you can find one to suit your liking.

I tried changing the dark holo background color to white, but I also had to change the default text color from white to black. This made the text unreadable in apps where the dark background did not change to white.
Hi Guys,
Apologies beforehand but to fully complete this look - you'll need Nova Launcher Prime. You can achieve most of it with the free version though! And around 10 minutes free time
The Icon set i'm using is ClickUI feel free to replace with any others (I love the set though!)
Also install the Android L Keyoard and set theme to Material
Firstly Alter your Apps launcher to the Pure White option. Long press and choose Edit - then click the icon to get the icon Picker.

Enjoy! Let me know what you think!
Cheers
Paul
Nice guide that you put up for people who cannot wait for 5.0 and prefer using Nova.
:good:
I tried Google Now launcher but reverted back to Touchwiz because i could not use S-Note widgets with it. Are all widgets available with Nova?
Looks really good, i had it setup really close to this, some off your stuff makes it look even better, thank you.

You can actually use Floatify to add lockscreen notifications similar to the ones in Lollipop.
For thoose of you who cannot wait for Lollipop and wants to use the lollipop theme without any struggle please flash the latest X-note rom. You can easily just change theme with Xnote controll app and there you go you have lollipop on your device with just a click. And it´s running smooth as butter just lovely. Thats why i love x-note, there is also alot of other themes to choose from. Question is if the x-note rom is avaible for all note 4 models.
Anyways im running the lollipop theme and will also do a x-note rom review as doing videos about android, rom reviews, game reviews, guides etc is my passion you can follow me on youtube ( the android dewd reviews ) stay tuned because a x-note rom review with the beautiful tw theme chooser they added you will be amazed how easily you can switch themes without nova or any other launcher and run lollipop if thats what you like.
Kind regards!
The android dewd reviews.

Sorry, no, the s-planner widget doesn't work which is sad as I really need it.
Could you please share the nova.backup file, so it would be easy for anyone to use that, after setting the icons to lollipop, so others can simply import the whole setup. Its just for folks who keep changing there look. Just my 2 cents !!
