Although many ROM's have different features and add-on's, it seems like most have the same old theme... the ugly cyan blue writing on a black background in all of the menus and settings screens. Are there any ROM's that break from this same old theme?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anyone or any ROM, I just don't like the dismal blue on black look.
Can anyone suggest a ROM that has a different feel?

go through the dev. section and you will see. Another option is to install a theme (from dev. section as well, there are a few, or Play Store).
and that's why we have the themes section. that's also why there are hundreds of CM themes on the play store.

Yes, I find that every rom that comes out with 4.2 or 4.3 look the same. I don't see any difference so thats why it makes it hard to pick a rom because they look a like, but with different rom names. Is this really 4.3 or is it someones version how 4.3 would look like? I ask because of everyone's vision of how so called "key lime pie" supposed to look like and everyone was fooled into thinking this was the new name. Now, its out and its called "KitKat" and no one knows how its supposed to look like.
I like the AOSP or AOKP but at times it does get a bit boring. I do download themes but most of them aren't fully themed. I'm not a big fan of launchers so I just like the rom for what it is, not because of adding a launcher to make it look different.

The "same theme" is stock Android theme, developed by Google, which exists in stock Android phones (Nexus), and also all clean Android forks, f.e. AOSP (CM) or AOKP.
Personally I love cobalt theme -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt and I have little plans to implement it to my ArchiDroid in near future. You know, theme isn't really a problem, because it's a matter of taste. You have a GIANT list of themes working on CM for example, you just need to take a look at themes section.
I agree with you , i also liked it at first because it was new you know have to change to make it look nicer
so all u have to do is just search for themes over the Internet or here in
the Galaxy S III Themes and Apps
PS: they have really good ones .
**don't forget too to download icon packs because it's the real complete for the theme .
But believe me it will be tough to decide which ROM according to the theme of the ROM .
Cobalt is a nice theme. I've been using the "Simplicity" themes which is nice too. I like the flexibility of altering your phone with these themes. I hope that when the 4.3 comes out for us that it'll be different enough to keep on our phones. I just hope that samsung changes TW a bit maybe even making it flat. I hope that more themes get developed so I can play around with them. I like "Lunar, Flatron, and Gem" those are pretty cool.

This is back up and running again guys, Give a big thanks to Af974 who was able to open up the threads super quick.
This is basically a Theme Request thread themers can refer to , to pick up projects people want, or to get feedback on ideas they have personally.
This is also if anyone makes a theme and wants to show off screenshots before they release it (or not).
I always take a lot of consideration into these requests and I hope other themers want to use this thread also.

I was wondering if you could possibly do a theme for MikShifted-G v1.5 based on the monster lock ring? I remember Dread7 did a monster theme for CM7 which was really nice. You could probably just do a skin of it with a metamorph for the things that can't be skinned. Thanks in advance!

Ill put it on a list in the OP
I can't find it now. But I definately have a few requests for you. Great idea BTW
Would it be possible make a Disturbed (the band) theme? I guess if possible I would use any ROM that this would be made for, up to the themer on choice of ROM.

BTW: If you dont specify any type of ROM then whichever themer takes it up will probably just use the ROM they do they most theming for
I have one personal request but after I am done with that if no themer has picked yours up yet I will get to yours.
I was wondering if it would be possible to make the "Today in History" HTC widget compatible with the Supreme Sense V2 ROM? It loads fine, it just don't seem like it can be activated as is, like its missing something thats required that may be found in the ROM you guys are pulling the sense 3.0 from. I would have asked directly in the ROM thread however I don't have 10 posts
Also I'm looking for an all black rosie or transparent, I would give it a go myself but I'm not sure how to edit the rosie. Last but not least It would be great if the full Wood theme could be ported in. All black or wood grain is the way I roll, I themed my own black version using bits and pieces from every theme thats been rolled out to make it perfect for my taste, I still have to work on the widgets and the Rosie then it'll be perfect, but it definitely would be awesome to get the fully themed Wood, widgets and all, so I can switch between the 2.
I really couldn't be more happy with my Evo Shift I do appreciate you guys work and hopefully in the future once I get all the framework aspects down of this compile, I can contribute something as well. Anyhow thats all just thinking out loud throwing idea's around of what I personally would like to see accomplished. If any of that could be tackled that would be great.

For your black theme I released an all black theme yesterday.
About the today in history widget, well maybe strapped365 can look at it but hes the only one who messes with the ROM itself.
as for a wood theme I will add it to the OP. Maybe a themer will get around to it soon
There are some 2.1 widgets that do not play nice with the 3.0 stuff added...

Yeah I kind of worked over the black version theme with a blend of the Supreme Sense v2 theme layout and edited a few aspects of prboy1969 transparent status bar mod and rolled it into 1, but I still haven't come across a rosie that really tops off what i'm trying to accomplish. A transparent rosie could be ideal, and maybe a remapping of the personalize key if possible, to messages. I need to learn how to edit the rosie

Yeah, I have it, just not quite the same though as a full CM theme, the ADW launcher theme looks good, but a full theme would be leagues above it.

I personally wouldn't know where to start with a theme chooser theme but another themer will hopefully pick it up

EpicBlues update?
Your EpicBlues theme port for Supreme Sense was my all time favorite. But it doesn't work with the newer versions. I'd like to see an update of EpicBlues for Supreme Sense, MikG, or (and?) Synergy!
Thanks!

What is the best ROM for themeing? I don't really enjoy Sense and want an as close to stock ROM for the 3D. Any ideas of which one to look into?

i don't know what you mean by stock but if you mean a world without sense
CyanogenMod 7 is your best choice it also has a built in theme chooser so you can make a theme that stays persistent even as the rom gets updated
Also, if you're looking for something that is stock with ICS, Miui looks pretty badass with their ICS theme and launcher pro. That's what I'm on now and have been loving it so far.
Sent by my Supercharged dual core from the 3rd Dimension
The main reason I ask is I did a theme using UOT Kitchen and wanna check it out, I'm currently on Warm TwoPointThree and don't think it will flash completely with all the Sense nonsense going on
MIUI is by far the most themed IMO...there are hundreds of ready made themes and the built in theme manager allows you to mix and match lock screen type with icons with drawer type, font etc....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271824 is the ROM

There are tons of options for MIUI
Has anyone come across any good themes for MIUI? I am loving this ROM but would love to change it up some.
Miui v4 is a great one, if you like the Miui stock look but want something a little sharper/more modern.
Probably my favorite is the theme "Metro." It's worth checking out.
Where do I get new themes?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
This one was awesome when I was on MIUI:
http://blackandroidtheme.blogspot.com/p/miui.html
I'm currently rocking NeonGT. Here's a link to the series, they have a few different colors and they're all very well done. Also, I plan on making a theme of my own pretty soon that you might be interested in when the time comes.
Do a search for MIUI.us on Google. Under development in the forums you will find themes. Also I just found Micentral(click on themedex) has all the good themes with links to original post.
If you open up the "Themes" app, you can click "Resource Detail".
You can view all of themes available. Some may show in Chinese on there, but when you install it it is all in English.
Oh and also:
I prefer mixing and matching parts of themes.
Just go to whatever theme you want (has to be downloaded already).
And un-check whatever you don't want to apply.
I prefer the Black Ice lock screen, so I would go to Black Ice, scroll down, and un-check everything but that.
Hi guys
I want to know how to get more themes in the settings menu under display settings themes menu on android 4.2.2
even I am ready to donate whosoever will help me
If you have a Themes section in Settings, I'm assuming you are running a custom rom such as CyanogenMod, AOKP, SlimBean, etc? If so, there are tons of themes in the Play Store...
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cm10+themes&c=apps
If that isn't the case, well, if you don't tell us what phone and rom you have, how would we know what to suggest?

my device is spice mi436 with stock ROM and vanilla android
Ah ok. That's not typical of most android phones that are stock. But I couldn't find any info about the themes section for your phone. Doesn't seem to be a popular thing to do. I looked at an unboxing video for it and they didn't even discuss it. *shrug* If it's a built-in one and they don't already have some kind of theme store for it included, you're probably out of luck.

Does it just change the launcher theme or the actual system theme and launcher? If it's just the launcher, then there are dozens of other launchers that have 100x the customization options.
So, im pretty new to runnning a custom rom and having all the access. Decided to go with Resurrection Remix and its pretty amazing. Anyway, Im messing around with themes. Found one on the Play Store that Is available in different shades/details. There are 4 i think, Im at the moment using the "stock" (?) one, that is mellow red highlights and although It does look good I find it too much, the deep blue one is amazing tough as I have seen on screenshoots but I have no idea how to change it to that colour. In fact I dont know how to customize that theme itself, where do I find the options? I literally looked everywhere, the theme manager, the theme settings. I just cant find the settings that would allow me to manage THAT theme.
Im using the Coalfield CM13 Theme.
