I was wondering is there a way to make all icons in oval shape? At the moment system icons are in squares, and third party icons are circles? For example, I prefer all icons to be circles (especially those from Fairyland theme).
Yes, I know I can do this with Nova launcher, but with 3rd party launchers you lose some functionality (HiSearch, and most app shortcuts).
I've customised a theme with EMUI theme manager, but I don't think it supports EMUI 9 at it's full potential at the moment, because when I compile the theme and save it, after applying it, icons are mixed up; for example themes icon apply to music, music icon apply photos etc...
So I'm open to ideas! Any suggestions?
You can use this application to convert any icons pack to Huawei icon theme. Then you apply the generated theme as usually you do, it will only change the icons. Hope this helps.

OP solved this by making a custom theme with round icons for the stock apps.
The inconsistent icon shapes bother me a lot too. OP's theme - Fairy Circle - and the excellent XZ3 theme sort this out for now.
Hopefully Huawei fix this jarring business with their next device and we can install themes from that and be done with it.

I was going to put this in the GingerBlur 2.5 thread, but got the smackdown for not having enough posts yet
I was thinking of theming kenneth's great GingerBlur ROM, but have noticed that some of the files seem to be in different places than expected.
It would be helpful if there was any guide or how-to on what .png files would need to be modified to theme particular areas specific to this ROM.
For example I had thought to change the color of the notification bar background you'd find statusbar_background.png in framework-res/res/drawable...alas nothing to be found.
Thanks!
I also want to change the lockscreen slider img.
The vast majority of your editable pngs are in drawable-hdpi, but many of them are draw-9 pngs and require some special handling to alter.

Lockscreen slider is a draw-9 png in the framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi folder. In order to alter it you would need to decompile the apk, as opposed to simply extracting it, change the image, and then recompile the apk. I am planning on starting a thread in the near future as a guide/discussion for theming.
Hey guys! Super glad that you all want to theme GingerBlur. I will encourage you to go ahead and wait until the release of GingerBlur 3.0.
Version 3.0 will have a re-worked framework that can be decompiled more easily. Theming will be a breeze!
Good luck!
Awwww man..

coool, cant wait. There are some aspects that I like changing (text colors mainly) and I hope it really is going to be a breeze. Changing images are easy in any case though. It's the text stuff that are tough.
Wow man that theme you got there looks pretty awsome!

Thanks... It's pretty much a mirror of that theme, but not as customized as Tones.. don't have that much time to mess with all the features
The origianl Galaxy S them has Blue, Green, and Red themes of the same.... which is where we both got the theme from to put it on the Atrix..
FYI some icons are in system/app/systemui.apk

Awesome news and a sincere thank you for all of your concerted efforts! Quick general question: do you know if Android supports transparency in the notification bar (the actual static bar at the top)?
I would assume so given they are .png; I think it would be pretty cool if you could have your notifications floating on top of your wallpaper.
adding transparency is not as simple as just editing the png's...you will also need to edit the services.jar in the framework (i think)...i know that is true for adding transparency to the notification bar dropdown...also after some research, launchers such as adw and launcher pro may cut off the wallpaper underneath the status bar, not sure about the stock motoblur launcher, so adding transparency may be pointless...
a more experienced dev or android user may know a bit about this...but i'm just sharing what i know...

WTH man??! Amazing screenshots!! This is exactly the color scheme I was wishing for on the Atrix!
How could you keep such good goodies only yourself? Or did you post your here somewhere?
Me would like it very much!
Thanks!

that's not true, i use paint.net and make transparencies on many of my png's, then simply add them back to the apk and vola.

please make a thread! i'm a little confused, i use 7-zip to extract (which you say is a no no), then change the images (even the .9's, i just add .png to the end, and yes i know that's a no no but that's the point of being deodexed, so you can throw any png in there and either match the name or change the xml, in my case, it works everytime....), throw them back into the apk, and either root exploror the framework back (with an immiediate reboot) or adb it in in between boots (the way your suppose to do it, unless you make an zip to flash which i don't know how).
this method works for me, but if you use root explorer, the rom erases your dialer history (odd, never happened on the cappy).
p.s. this isn't a guide, if somebody does this and bricks their phone, they can hold me responsible and sue me (as i have nothing, nor a job). but seriously, backup your framework and know how to use adb if you want to mod your framework...

The bar is a normal png, you can transparent it fine without any fancy coding.
Yes, the status bar image is a standard png and can be made transparent. However, the wallpaper does not expand behind where the status bar is - so even if you make your status bar transparent, some color needs to be represented behind it. I went into drawables.xml and set the status_bar_background to transparent as well but it still shows up black for the homescreen, it does stay transparent for apps though and shows up differently based on what app is running (aka, for words with friends it shows the blue stripes - but not when I screen cap). Here are some images of what I mean.
- black on the homescreen, wallpaper must not extend that high
- see straight through to the notifications
- shows more grey on my phone than here
Hey guys, I just flashed MIUI to give it another shot and im loving it all over again.
There are a couple things I'd like to know:
1. Can I remove the dock? If so, how?
2. Where can I go to learn about how to install a new notification bar? I want to check the themes/tweaks/etc.
3. How do I install new icons? I downloaded icon packs but not exactly sure how to install them, im still reading up on Desktop visualizer but im still a bit confused
Thanks

Remove the dock by installing a new launcher of your choosing. I prefer GoLauncher with miui.
Go to settings, there should be themes in there. When you are in the themes you can browse or search by clicking online at the top. If you go to the bottom and click edit theme you can mix and match your themes. Like notification bar from one, lock screen from another, etc.
I have never heard of desktop Visualizer. Icons are a subset of the themes. You can mix and match them too. If you go to edit the theme, then select icons, and click online you can browse just the icons, vs the whole theme.
You can also find some themes in the general android theme forum, not the gs2, the bigger Android section.
Well, look what you did, now you got me in the miui mood, I'm gonna have to switch back.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
on MIUI, just open the THEMES app and download whatever theme you want. also you can customize the current theme you are on to make it any way you like....personally i like meeui dark with ics mixed in....
I'll throw in a plug for the ADW launcher, which will let you wasily do several of the modifications you want: roemove the dock, hide the notification bar and change icons via a long press of the target.
I only use Desktop Visualizer if I want to use an icon that's larger than 1x1.

Use the advice that was given above your post, 3 years ago... just install a new launcher and disable it in the app settings. Perhaps your current launcher can already do it.
Unfortunately, my current favorite Themer theme does not include a music player widget. Can I grab one from another theme that does have one and copy/save it to my current theme?
Edit: To be specific: I am using the Red Clock theme. What I want is the entire "Media" screen from the Holo Cards theme. Is this possible?

Unfortunately not, you are able to save an Everything Widget, but it is locked into its specific theme (we might change this in the future once Zooper is integrated). It shouldn't take too long to recreate in Everything Widget though. Try out Jeppe Foldagers Small Darks for icons, he might also have that blue one.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Hi Themer Support Team,
Now ZOOPER being fully integrated into Themer, is this feature of copying a Everything Widget from one theme to another provided?
Thanks.

I was wondering if themer can allow us to put small pieces of images, or shapes into a screen, to make screens more eye-catching.
Why i´m asking this?
Some themes (like SKY theme) are just GREAT on images, but they uses dividers, ribbons, trays, or boxes, all drawed together with the wallpaper. Some guys, like me can be free to change just the picture, but keep the other graphic elements, shapes and lines that make the theme so interesting.
Other lack of funcionality is that sometimes I try to add a new page to a theme, and we have problems to make it 'similar' to the other ones existent on the theme, due to wallpaper differences and other things... One-click theming is awesome, but some guys cant stand it and go ahead with customizations :cyclops:
Do you themer guys think this might be a good idea or this can be a problem for memory comsumption point.

Has anyone got the stock Weather Widget to work with a calendar? As seen in the screenshot, the widgetpicker shows the widget to the left with a calendar-reminder... just as in Googles "At a glance". I have never gotten this to work... just the clock and the weather. Is it a leftover from a previous design that didn´t make it to release or is it supposed to work?

Thanks! Finally got it to work. That theme editor app is a pain in the ass, but eventually it worked. All my icons are round now, except Google docs, slides and sheets. They stay square, even though in the icon pack I downloaded these are also round. Don't understand why. I downloaded the Pixel Pie icon pack, as I want the Pixel icons. Maybe I should try an other Pixel icon app?

How did you modify the icons in Theme Editor? If you just applied the entire pack some icons are bound to remain unchanged. However... if you choose "Select Icons Manually" you can modify those icons that are missing. Also, you can change the dynamic icons (clock, weather and calendar) but the preloaded ones are not that good. It´s better to use "current" and then choose a static icon from your iconpack.
I felt Theme Editor was a pain too... but I actually paid for the full version to get rid of all the adcrap. After that, it´s amazing.

First I installed the whole icon pack and after that I modified the remaining icons manually. It worked on all the apps. But still, even manually, the Google docs, slides and sheets apps won't change. They remain default square-ish.
That´s strange...
I don´t have any of those apps so I cant check whats wrong. You restarted the phone, right? Sometimes it helps...
Google Docs, Google slides and Google sheets are part of the pre-installed Google apps (like Chrome, Youtube etc..), so you should have those on your Mate. Or did you delete them by adb or something?
I restarted multiple times of course.

I uninstalled them from day one... use Office 365 instead.
I downloaded Google Docs and actually got the same as you... no change at all. I have to admit, it´s the first app that doesn´t change for me, and I have done this for over a year.
Make a bugreport with the author of EMUI Theme Editor
Please stick to the original question and try not to deviate too much from it.
Please read the original question by Manneman32. I am also struggling to get the calendar in the widget weather to work and it would be extrimely useful.
Thank you all
Just found it. You have to use the widget with the time in the middle and the dare beneath it. Its the most left widget in the widget chooser.
