Well I did it again, More Dialers and more Honeycomb. This will probably be my last dialer theme for a while. I will eventually look into recoding the layout for hi-res landscape, I'll bet ya, Dell just copied the one from 160 density, and never tested it.
Anyways here it is, I actually started on 160, but had to build on 240. All dialpad keys are visible at 240dpi in portrait mode. In high res, landscape dialpads will be cut off as usual. Best I could do for now. You'll just have to rotate to portrait I guess.
You can change the backgrounds of course by following my Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215898
the screenshots in this first post will be at 160dpi, the 240dpi will be in the 2nd post.

for future use, thanks!
update:HCPhoneThemev2 (without glow): icons updates, jog tabs now HC Style, and in call buttons now stock instead of transparent( just mute, bluetooth , and speaker).
update: Aug. 16 - HC Theme with Glow uploaded. Its slightly involved to add glow, and since I resized buttons to fit all densities, you'll noticed the pressed square effect, that's about the best I can do. Glow Color is actually much brighter, but the dark background darkens it. All icons updated in Glow and Regular version. Also added stylish highlight for tab selections.
I have tried to change the layout at hdpi to fit in the landscape dialer, I dont think this can be done via .XML, although it sure looks like it. the .xml calls out the Button Grid Layout as well as height and widths, I have tried changing them all, even ones I knew were not correct. Best I did was change the total layout allowed for buttons, but buttons size would not change. I saw in the .smali code where it calls to get height and get width, so I would think .xml controls it. Even I change the .png sizes it would still center them in the same spot in the layout I think.
Oh well, portrait is more than fine with me. I usually use my phone in portrait and try not to rotate it because Im on 220 lcd density right now.
Looks great @ 180 density.
Thanks!

Yea, I actually found that pic on Dell's website when the Streak first came out. I used it as my Facebook profile pic until all my friends got mad at me. It seems everybody hates the Dell Guy...

working on it, noticed a lot of icons still needed top be updated as well, should have some screenshots later today.
OP updated, Glow Version ann also updated many icons for both version.
this was good to help me learn how to create glow effect, I may be able to do another one with a very thin effect, like an out line, but I like the larger effect my self. It doesnt matter a whole lot to me, I was satisified with original version.
Waiting to hear your feedback.
would like to see this on a lighter background if anyone has one.

Good job Chris but the bottom three buttons don't glow or is it the background?

Im aware of this. I'm not sure If I could do those the same way. I'll see what I can do.
wow, managed to cook em up pretty quick, but they wont work because they are .9.png's they stretch and distort, so I could just try a blur but likely wont look good. I'll check it out.

The blury .9 png's can still be fantastic! Reminiscent of a lightsaber. Maybe Star Wars themed over HC could be cool
ok, I'll check it out later
I can get back, call and voicemail to glow as well as voicecall in landscape. I could make the glow effect smaller so you dont see the edge of the button and looks cut off... would probably be better, this is a really bright blue, but doesnt look as bright with dark wallpaper. I dont think I could make the glow effect on the numbers so small that it doesnt get cut off, because the numbers and letters take up so much room it would have to be a 1 or 2 pixel glow and that would still probably get cut off, unless I did similar to the bottom buttons and just use a generic gradient bubble background, but that doesnt look as nice.
Ill keep playing around with it when I have time, based on everyones feedback.
Seeing as how, CRT animation and gingerbread Overscroll looks a bit too involved for me. Quite possible for someone like DJ or Fards.
edit: idea: how about changing the bottom 3, .9.pngs to not touch the button edge, and have a transparent horizontal oval in the center, so it doesnt overshadow the icon. And.. I could try to edit the dialpad keys to "round" out the glow so again it doesnt look so boxy. I'll give it a shot when I have some time.
progess made.. sort of
heres what I got, changed quite a few things,
lets hear what you think, I will look into making the glow.png oval instead of square, maybe that will help.
and the .9 button glows area gamble, some will look nice, others too large, etc.
change jog tabs to HC style. also change in call buttons such as speaker back to stock, just those 3.
next release will likely be last for this project. probably because I use phone so little and would like to focus on other things.
A little thing but annoys me... When i get a notification from CNN for example the text is black and you cannot read it in the notification center... Is there a way to change the text color?
The system has global light and dark colors. If the app writer forces a specific color, like black, it can cause problems like that. If the app writer refers back to system colors, they will automatically present in a readable format. Unfortunately, in this case, its a poorly written app reference forcing black text, and your only choice to be able yo read it is to try a theme with a light color background in the notification shade. Serendipity 8 has a white background in there, so that would make it readable.
Long story short, no, you cannot change the text color.

Pandora and Power AMP also do this. It really drives me nuts.

That's an issues with the theming of certain roms. installing a third party launcher such as go launcher EX or one of the others may help.

I don't think so. I have the stock ROM w/ root. It's an issue with the stock firmware
I have had my Galaxy s2 for almost a month and i just notices that there is blue bleeding on the top right on the call screen on the favorite icon as shown in the picture. You can see the same thing on the ap mobile too.
is that normal???
That "glowing" is there to indicate you can scroll the menu in that direction iirc
Thank you.
ROFLMAO....
LOL. Well, not everyone knows. That feature is called Overscroll Glow and can be changed to whatever color fits your mood by editing framework-res.apk or flashing a theme.
Ooh ooh! I know this one! Pick me! Pick me!

Hello
I'm using ICS final no tweaks by Jusada and i've noticed on some drop down menu's when using the internet that the text is very pale grey on a white background and i can barely read it. Is there a fix for this please?
Example:
The Tripadvisor app, when trying to select a date or city the pop up menu looks blank but when you look very closely you can see the text it's almost white on a white background. Other menus on the internet appear this way too.
Try new version of the ICS-Theme from here:
