Wassup guys?!?
As you may know, the Wildfire has a low-res screen - with a relatively small number of pixels/inch (pixel density) - this is called low density or LDPI. However, CM7 currently uses MDPI resources - which are higher-res and are made for screens with higher pixel density.
So why should this bother you? Because these images are scaled down by the system to fit our screen - and they lose their sharpness and goodness as intended by Google, and the result is... yucky. Gradients get choppy and weird unintended colours pop up. And, the icons are small enough that due to our low pixel density, they use very few pixels and are washed out and ugly.
That's where this theme comes in. It turns out, AOSP has complete LDPI support for the main framework, so I ported those resources and resized/cropped/edited SystemUI resources to better fit our screen. Also, the icons are larger and easier/more pleasant to see on our low-res screen. Gradients are now how they were always meant to be - a smooth transition from one colour to another.
Download here.
Enjoy LDPI goodness. I doubt you won't like this if you're a fan of stock gingerbread.
What's themed
-Entire framework (dialogs, spinners, buttons, backgrounds, etc)
-Status bar icons and notification dropdown
-Settings icons
-Smooth indeterminate progress bars (stock is so choppy)
-Battery percentage / supercircle mod (separate versions)
To Install
Install apk file like normal from a file manager.
Open theme manager. Choose the one with the screenshot below for the preview, and hit Apply and then Apply anyway.

Not only icons, I ported the ldpi framework from AOSP and I'm in the process of ldpi-izing SystemUI.
That means pretty much anything with a gradient looks waaaay better now.

It's finally here!!
I've been given the OK from jabbawalkee, the original creator of Matted Blues, to release a port for the Atrix.
I know a lot of people are waiting for this and I'm glad I can finally help them out.
Hope you like it.
Because this theme includes themed apps I suggest it not be installed over GingerBlur. Instead it should be installed over GladiAtrix or a stock deodexed system.
Flashing over GingerBlur will cause double SMS notifications. I believe this is due to the messaging app included in GingerBlur being a different app than what is included in the stock Atrix.
If you are using GingerBlur or a third party SMS app and still want to flash this theme then you should first delete the /app/conversations.apk from the CWM zip.
I think this will keep you from getting double notifications.
Also, if you have problems with gmail FCing, which was reported but I never experienced, then go into manage apps and delete data for gmail.
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/5A6C5UIVGW
Installer includes:
Framework:
-framework-res.apk
-blur-res.apk
App:
-BlurCalendar.apk
-BlurDialer.apk
-BlurPhone.apk
-Browser.apk
-Conversations.apk (SMS)
-Gmail.apk
-Settings.apk
-Vending.apk (Market)

THESE icons may work out for the theme.
the file name references greyblur... but they are just image files. save them on your internal/external SD and point ADW or whatever launcher you are using to use these image files for the icon image
the thread I stared for these icons are HERE. However, DO NOT use the CWM file for installation. as that CWM is for greyblur
Been waiting on this 4 a min....Thanks

just some FYI, our changelog isn't quite yours lol. Like, you didn't remove down_animation. Do you actually have the custom window transitions? Your lockscreen DOES have both bubbles and text under the icons. You don't have the lock_carrier.txt mod. You don't have bootscootv2 in there either.
LOL that sounds like I'm a douche I'm really just trying to help your OP lol.
Anyway, you DID customize ALL the statusbar icons white to match the theme.
You also DID customize the dropdown background to non-transparent.
You DID make it compatible with zeus mods.
Just trying to help, again nice job!

weather: that bg is in - Idlescreen_Weather.apk. If you decompile with m10 tools it's in the m10 that's something like "weather_bg.m10" - there are 3 images in there you need to change. Add a custom one, it's more fun. Must be a .png image and sized exactly 540x960, and flip it upsidedown
Btw meant to say this sooner, good job on porting this man.. Glad you got everything working.. Looks good so far..

I recently upgraded to King Cobra v1.5 and I downloaded this theme and put it on my SD card.

Icons used are mix of VA ASTERIA by vukandric and Athena HD by Raadius. Theme is Ice Cream Sandwich CM7 with custom StatusBar and center clock mod. Status bar icons get them here. Use metamorph or something to replace them with default icons.
This is a great website to find some decent wallpapers. I modify them using GIMP.

Rosie with a splash of color
Update... Updated...
5x5 drawer with custom backgrounds now posted....
So here is the deal... Since myself and killathenoob are finding it hard to find the time to really give everyone a full on theme (And i will be taking a break to mess with my new GS2)... I thought it might be fun to give everyone a little something to play with...
I have modified Rosie with some nice application drawer backgrounds... These will work in ANY Sense 3.0 Rom...
On another note... IF you have a custom image you would like done special for you, just let me know... Its not a massive deal at all for me to do... So dont be shy.... I will mostly work on requests during the day... So evening requests will need to understand i wont touch them till the next morning...
I went with the colors most seem to like... Green, Blue and Red... And semi-transparent...
How to:
- Download to your PC
- Move to your storage (Recovery specific)
- Nandroid
- Flash
- Reboot
Things to note:
- Stock Rosie base
- Lots of xml edits to add in transparent and image backgrounds, along with 5x5 drawer...
- No, this will not flash the surrounding theme shown in the screen shots... (Most of it is just a skin, and not mine)
Reserved for me and future additions...
Looks great!
Thanks much....

(I'm talking about stock ROMs.)
When people talk about Android customizability they say it's highly customizable and about making it unique...
But I don't see this. Of course you can replace your home screen / launcher software installing alternatives... And with them you are able to even customize icons, change the home screen experience a lot, etc, but go to a system or app menu and everything looks as before.
But there aren't any status bar / notification area replacements. And lock screen replacements never work as intended (I've tested a few that all they do is block the default one into coming into action, also when you receive a call it will display on the screen already unlocked and in some devices home button is able skip them), stock notification toggles customization is only available from latest LG Optimus UI and Samsung I guess...
The other main disappointment is the fixed color for menus. Apparently no matter what you do, Android holo with this blue "highlighter" is the only color available. No matter what HTC skin you pick, some menus and notifications will be highlighted in a holo blue or default green tone when you tap them. The keyboard suggestions are aways in the green variety, and these are the only two colors to see.
It's weird. My featurephone before EVO 3D was a Sony Ericsson w300i and the themes changed much more interface elements, there was even an official theme creator from Sony so you could make themes your own for this model and many others, it didn't require "root" or anything.
Do you feel the same about it?
You're clearly not looking into themes that well, I've been able to customize my phone in every aspect I can think of. Look into Metamorph, it's quite worth it.

I'm referring to the Android's default dark holo theme which has blue accents when making menu selection, etc, and is the "default" next to the white holo theme.
My phone is the HTC EVO 3D.
What I'm saying is that theming only applies to an extent of the UI, leaving other elements un-skinnable, looking the default mixed with some colors or texture. It isn't a matter of launchers, what I mean is I can choose any HTC skin and the holo blue and some green elements won't go away... So, the HTC skin can make some elements pink for example but I'm stuck with some pre-defined colors like when tapping a notification some will glow green others pink, on some apps like Facebook and Twitter just for example the menus will be in the default Android colors (dark or white + blue accent applied to the command you're pressing), the stock keyboard will still highlight suggestions in green, etc, so this kind of experience isn't completely customizable... Some HTC skins simply won't fit because black will be ruling everything (the notifications area having the "title" in pink and the part you hold to "pull" skinned but the rest completely black, etc) instead of a nice background texture.
In a way I agree. There isn't much that appeals to me with the sense roms. There are some themes but not many and they really don't seem to change a whole lot. I've tried some cyanogenmod roms (paranoid android was my favorite) and I was very happy with all the themes and options I had, but the problem was that 3D didn't work, and that, into opinion is a perk of this device. I'm not too crazy for sense but I've decided to stay with the sense roms because everything works as it should normally. I do what I can using UCCW and other personalization apps. Hope you find something that works for you and you enjoy.

there is a thread somewhere in the themes and apps section that let's you alter the notification bar icons and backgrounds, I think the op is Jmz or something. Check that out.

Well try a viper Rom! The viper tweaks are absolutely amazing! And they're themes are almost seamless!! Just a suggestion. I love my EVO I'm using negaBLU right now because nothing else likes my radio for some reason.

Just curious, are you using a sense ROM or cyanogenmod or other? Application icons are a piece of cake, there are icon packages or one can create in Photoshop, etc. But the notification icons I'm weary of messing with with a Sense based ROM. Thank you for your suggestion, by the way.

the op is correct. with cyanogenmod as exception I never found a room which can be themed easy. right now I am on yodas sense less and I am stuck with the blue battery because changing anything risks boot loop lol
Use MIUI , the themes will change everything including the black and blue colored windows and popups that you are referring to .
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.

Yeah. Good suggestion. I tried the miui rom for the evo 3D/evo v and the themes were awesome and there was so many different ones. And you can mix and match icons, status bar colors and styles. And the 3D feature still worked. :thumbup:

Mycolorscreen.com also has deliciously amazing theme ideas and customization. Some you pay for, but many are free and they include the tutorial, and the resources (apps, icons, and all the goodies) so you can make your own eye candy. I drool every time I visit that page.

As a themer I can say that almost every, if not every, image in the system is customizable

But not if I want to keep the stock ROM... Or vanilla Android for example...
