Hey Rahul,
You don't have to resize any images to be honest. But I usually only resize the power menu icons to 24x24 so that they're all the same size. Also the notification bar icons to the same size, 16x16 or 8x8, because otherwise some icons look huge in comparison to others.
For instance, the gps icon should be the same size as the battery icon. Do you know what I mean?
^ok....
Can you also suggest tools for resize

It's the easiest and most convenient way to resize images. You can also do batch resizes with this tool.

Sorry for the slow reply. I've been on vacation since Thursday afternoon. What ROM are you currently using?
That screenshot looks like it was from an earlier version of the minimal matte theme. I would suggest using the newest 2.0 and see if that fixes it!
If not let me know and I will check into that for you!
You are great guys, i know there are a lot of forums where you can find everything step by step but nothing can be better for newbies than a wellmade video

I was always thought that the text color is within the actual ROM itself. Let me ask Lestat if it's within the framework apk file though.

OMG that looks sweet.
I had tried this before and its not something very attractive. There are other members who tried it with an app for such UI. One such post can also be found in the "Screenshots" of home screen topic found in the apps section.
No thanks, I have some humility left.

Not sure why it's either classic or funny but whatever. Anyway I think it's a fine looking theme.
Because GNU is the exact antonym of "Microsoft software".
And I can't stand the idea of this theme being tried on an Android device.
Just wanna say that i've made this theme

What you need for this:- Launcher (ADWLauncherEX, Launcher Pro, etc.)-MultiPicture Live Wallpaper (klick)-DesktopVisualizer (klick)-Windows Phone 7 UI (klick)-and of course, an Android phone... Step 1: Launcher settingsGo to your Launcher settings and change the Icons per sites option (Columns 6, Rows 10).After...

Well, it should be removable after trying it out, hence it could be worth a try, mh? - At least as long as you're not totally happy with your standard themed android.
Here are some nice Themes for CM7:
Click here
Click here
I hope a thread like this doesn't exist already in Defy Forum
You just have to install the ".apk" file and select it in Theme Chooses, after that you have to reboot the phone so all icons show up.
And you only should use hdpi themes
If you found some other interesting themes please post them
Two threads already
Ephumuris. Defy CM7 by Quarx.
Very nice themes, I have used "JAMT - White Gradient", a white theme.
i think the honeycomb theme is the best one...
yep, i really like the honeycomb one too.
I was wondering if it's possible to change the appearance/icons of the sliders in the lockscreen in a simple way. I tried widget locker but found it laggy.
If anybody as a cool solution, I'm interested in it. thanx
Can we merge the two threads ? Some screenshots would be nice too .... btw what are the best ones you have tried ?

When you click on the 2nd Link you can see some Lockscreens under "Basic Add-Ons".
And then scroll down to "Instructions for ZipThemer" there you can see how to do it.

You don't need to edit the .9 in a complicated way to change the colour, a simple colour mod works fine. The keyboard on the other hand, I'm still working on it as well.
Nah, I think for text bubbles its diff. I changed the color to white but its stretched weird and the text is misaligned.

Dude I already did take the bubbles lmao its in the apk in op. I just don't want it grey, I want it white
I was looking for a "how to guide" on how to make themes for the app, but I did`nt come across any here.
So is there some sort of template or guide somewhere that lads like me can use in order to make some themes for the app, cheers.
there is a video guide m8 probably the easiest way to do it is to download a theme and get used to changing things around to how you want them ie change the wallpaper,icons etc

I'm having problems with themes, some of the widgets are not aligned properly, I try to do it manually but is not working, I just recently moved to SlimBean from Omega, no problems on Omega, I guess it's the DPI SlimBean uses, should I go to the next bigger DPI?

Chances are it's DPI issues, Themer was designed to work only on stock DPI as well as the supported resolution. We will consider changing this in the future though.
Any chance for a more advanced tutorial?

To set screen 2 or any other long press home screen when widget's are locked and select +/- home screen there you will find 2 columns 1 for number of home screens and 1 to select which is the default home screen.
