Hi
I'm very happy with my brand new FlipOut, but I'm not with the default color scheme: some of colors conflicts with applications, resulting in some grey-on-black texts, or blue-on-red notifications.
Is there a way to change the color scheme?
yeah there are many apps which change the theme!
i use "91 panda home 2" its free. it changes your menue etc.
there is a theme market linked in it..so you can choose what you want!
i like the default theme comes with panda 2. sometimes there is a bug in it. after the first use of a new theme you have to flip the display and back...then you have the right orientation!
by the way panda is also a nice app because it changes to smaler icons..
I've already changed my home app (I use Zeam), but unfortunatley it doesn't change color scheme for non-home elements. Does Panda can do it?
what i have seen it changes everything try out plz...its in the market
I've tried it: it changes desktop, dockbar, but notification bar and global color for apps (background/foregrounde selected colors especially) they remain the same.
Any news about system colours changer app? I hate that grey-like look!
Hi... Am sorry to bother you guys... Its been a week that I rooted my wildfire and have it running on CM7...
The problem is...
Hope the hell in the world do I get themes installed with the default wallpaper and layout...
please help. Am new out here...
And have been trying to get some solution for the themes.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
More information is needed as to "default wallpaper and layout" ? as CM7 for Wildfire originally has a Theme Manager supplied with a few themes for you to change it. For more information on choosing the right theme or applying your desired themer, you may refer to this link:

No theme can change the layout of your phone. Initially, I was under the impression (and still am) that the themes cannot change your wallpaper as well, but there are a few posts which state that themes can change the wallpaper. (Yet to see it myself though - But, I am very sure on the layout part)
Besides, theme choosers use a lot of 3rd party apps like clock / weather widgets, minimalistic text etc to get their desired layout that best suits the theme. If you don't have these installed, how can it work?
Hey Thank you Xeno for your reply...
What you said makes sense...
But the question I would want to ask if, if a theme is download on the phone... Is it not supposed to load the wallpapers, clock, calender, etc. on it own?
I am sorry, I might sound to be a dumb A** but am new here and EAGER to learn.
I purchased a few themes thinking they would be fully loaded but to my surprise they werent.
For E.g.:
I Purchased the MattedBlues LauncherPro Theme from the market.
A pop-up came saying 'Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your devices screen size'.
From what I have read, I selected CONTINUE ANYWAY and Rebooted!
And all it changed was just the COLOR for Icons. Rest all remained the same, I mean the wallpaper, layout, icons...
Is there is a beginners guide I need to refer to for CM7?
Thank you in advance Buddy...
It's a LP theme buddy. If you needed the entire thing, you should have purchased the Theme Chooser Theme for CM7 (Which I have - And, it's fantastic, may I add ). And no, no theme can change the layout as I said before. Different themes theme a different number of elements, so again, your mileage may vary.
For the MB Theme, it is the colour that is the main appeal. They follow the stock look, but change the colour. It can be seen in the screenshots as well.
One last thing - Most of the theming stuff are for HDPI Phones, infact, the MB LP Theme explicitly says no MDPI version, and the Wildfire is LDPI. So, one's mileage with theming stuff will vary a lot between themes.
Basic Ready Reckoner: (What I have stated below are the "best case scenario". Some themes may change one or more elements)
- LP / ADW Themes changes the icons, the launcher specific widgets, and the wallpaper
- CM7 Themes changes the entire UI essentially - Menus, Status Bar, Default Widgets, Icons, Dialer etc. It cannot theme elements like the Lockscreen, some system menus etc
Seems this has been asked before and no one has answered. Yes icons on the home screen/dock can be changed easy. But the icons in the dock are not so easy. When I download a custom theme for cm7 like stygian black fade, it changes about half of the icons (like handcent), so I know it can be done. I'm using ADW EX and a cm7 kang. I cant find any good guilds on how to make a theme similar to stygians black fade. Editing the original program .apk is not an option as many don't allow it. Creating a folder is also not an option, its just avoiding the issue which can be fixed.
Hi,
I would like to use some icons for lock sliders using Widgetlocker, but I would like to change the default icons slightly. Basically I want the backgrounds on the icons to be different. Unfortunately I have no experience with Photoshop or any other graphics program.
The default dialer icon has a grey background (please see attachment). I would like to change it to the red background (also provided). Then the email/messaging icon I would like to have a yellow background exactly like the one shown behind the mute icon (I couldn't find that background alone without an icon on it already).
If someone with a bit of know how could please do this for me and upload the new icons. I have also provided some other icons as examples of other icons that have already been done with these backgrounds.
Thanks in advance
I love the Holo Light with Dark Actionbar theme. I have been working to make a vrtheme for it, but being amateur in themeing its taking me considerable more time and effort to make it work having to use the hit-and-trial method for everything and its becoming kind-of frustrating. So, even though I'll continue working on my own version of it, I'd like to put the idea out there so that maybe someone with experience can make it for us if he likes the idea as well.
What I'm thinking of is an even Holo Light theme throughout the ROM :
White background & black text for most apps(Phone, Messaging and the likes) and Settings. (I guess you could call it "inverted" but with holo colors thrown in.)
Dark grey & slightly beveled status bar. (Or White status bar with dark grey icons, but would mess up most app notifications since they are in white.)
White background in expanded notifications statusbar with Dark Gray toggles and Dark Grey and Holo blue for notifications.
Minimalistic Black/Grey Icons (like the ones provided for notifications by default in the Android resources) for Phone, Messaging, etc.
For cues and inspiration on the colors and feel, the Light theme on Falcon Pro and GMail's default Light/High Contrast Theme are good to try to take ideas from.
Meanwhile I'll continue working on my own version and I'll post it here as soon as I make a decent beta version.
I'm pretty sure its not been asked for or done here. But if I didn't search properly please point me in the right direction.
