We all know Windows Phone 7 doesn't have custom wallpapers for the homescreen, however it does have custom wallpaper for the lockscreen.
The lock screen of course displays metro stylized textual information.
This information has a nasty tendency to move around based on how much information it needs to display. However, if you have a scheduled event always on your calendar with a locational field filled - this information rarely if ever moves beyond these defined limits. As such, we can stylize wallpapers around this information.
[Provided you always have something scheduled between now and the next 48 hours]
So here I am looking to be a Wallpaper repository, but then also a collection of lockscreen wallpaper based off the data template.
Some of you may have seen the post on Pocketnow about the lockscreen wallpaper with data segmentation in mind. Someone on there requested I make a thread here so I did.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This goes around the set data on the WP7 lockscreen and looks pretty dang good. So I'd like to post this template up so others can build much better wallpapers than me off a similar concept now that they have set coordinates.
Also, you can post your normal lockscreen wallpapers as well.
Every other device has a repository but I'd like for this one to be WP7 centric.
This is how it looks on my Samsung Focus
[http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/4377/justblack.png here is a link to the one with I <3 Windows Phone]
Here are the various theme base colours from WP7
Lime 140 190 41
Brown 156 81 0
Pink 230 113 181
Orange 239 150 8
Blue 25 162 222
Red 230 20 0
Green 49 154 49
Magenta 255 0 148
Purple 164 0 255
Teal 0 170 173
These are the theme colour values directly from the system, however, keep in mind that Windows Phone 7 applies an 80% filter to the images when they are set as your wallpaper. As such, colours posted like those on the left, appear on your device as the block on the right.
In order to balance out this effect, use a RGB Multiplier of 1.25x so when WP7 applies the 80% filter you can match the proper colours.
So please, post your wallpaper designs. Either something based off the template or entirely new or something WP7 related.
Note for posting: Try and show your wallpaper but also attach as a ZIP if possible - that way, users can set it directly from their phones!
Please try to only post if you have a Wallpaper - these threads get disgustingly large so please try to only post to contribute

Duly noted, that is not actually something I have run into as I always have something on the calendar either the current day or the next day. I will update the thread accordingly.
GeoLuminations
Introducing GeoLuminations
Works with any combination of calendar events, unread emails, etc! Choose either the version that has the double square at the bottom (as seen in the real-life picture) or the single square. That simply frames the notifications a bit more.
Updated on 11/11/2010 to not cut off long calendar appointments.
Enjoy!
looks good THX
Great work, can I suggest not trying to enclose the calendar area? To the right hand side of the calendar, text will flow over and off the right hand side of the page. Will all the templates so far calendar test flows over the edge and looks a little messy. If you have short text in the calendar it looks okay.

Ah yeah I see what you're saying. I'll update my GeoLocations to fix that, check my original post in an hour from now and I should have it updated (I won't post when I update it so I don't clutter the thread too much). Thanks for the suggestion!

Well done.
Light background
Hello
Very nice work of you guys indeed. Might I suggest to provide versions for the light background too? Maybe there are others beside me who use that one
I hope I named the background right, just having access to the german WP7.

Thanks for the good work guys, as an aside, what a welcome relief to see a thread that does soemthing useful for WP7 users as opposed to whingeing about Wp7 not being WM6.5!

I use the light theme on my phone, but I believe that the lockscreen must always be a dark color, since no matter what your theme is, the text on the lockscreen is white. The text would be invisible on a white lockscreen background!
Here's mine.

I agree, it would look quite snazzy for the WP7s out there.
New Lockscreen Theme - White Background/Red Highlight
This is a theme for the white background users! I can make it in all the colors available as a theme in WP7 (including for black backgrounds) but it would be a lot easier if I could get emulator screenshots of the different theme colors.
Nevertheless, here's the lockscreen for the white background + red highlight theme! It works really well with the device!!
Here's the Lockscreen file, view it from your phone and right click (long hold) it, then save it to your phone.
So, I found some nice "Legs" images and formatted them to fit the Windows Phone 7 screen. All in all...pretty nice
I may be going to Hell...but I accept it
And a few more, just for good measure

UPDATED: Multiple Skins, see bottom of this post.
UPDATED: CABs scrubbed clean by OrganicM.
Completely replace the carrier and MS branding on the dialer, outgoing call and incoming call screens with Alphanuma 1.0 When you are placing a call, or trying to remember which numbers to use to spell someone's name in a voicemail system, glance at the top of the screen to see the classic touch tone letter guide (since it isn't printed on the s620).
Example 2 abc - 3 def - 4 ghi - 5 jkl - 6 mno - 7 pqrs - 8 tuv - 9 wxyz
The graphics are seamless (no wigglies!) from screen to screen, including the optional wallpaper.
Contents of the cabinet:
Replacement for the small banner that says "smartphone" on an unbranded HTC, or shows the Carrier's graphic logo on most branded models.
Even smaller replacement for the carrier's text on the screen that comes up when you your call is connecting/connected.
Backgrounds for both the incoming call/ring and outgoing call/connected, with color changes, since the two screens have opposite text color. Backgrounds include the same aligned numeric guide, so that it appears consistent, even where a contact photo or other graphic might cause the carrier logo replacement to clip.
Registry key to make sure that the phone looks for the right file for the dialer screen, in case you want to use it on a branded phone, though it works by default on ROMs based on an unbranded HTC image.
A matching, text-less homescreen wallpaper in \Applications\Home, for optional use.
Known issues:
You must reboot (soft-reset) to use. Sometimes the installation tells you this, sometimes it doesn't!
Sometimes it is listed in the remove programs menu, even after removal.

LOL, I just can't get down with the current slim styles, and have been trying to perfect Alphanuma, as well as find/tune decent art that is legal to use, the last few days instead of playing with Cpanel tweaks. I would actually like one with shadow sized panels, weather in a tab, change-on the fly panel colors, and automatic detection of most called ppl, most visited links and a MRU but I'm a looo-o-o-o-o-oong way from figuring even a tiny bit of all that out.

Cool, I'm really glad it has a fan, since it took a while. I originally just wanted a plain dialpad, but then I had to expand to all the above because it kept changing if the person had a contact thumb or not, and if they called me instead.
I will make some more, since I've got the base image in layers, smart guides measured, and a complete action set stored. I need at least one that is more tech and one that is hot. And maybe something artsy.
Hope I never switch to a portrait phone!

Hi, Profezza!
First of all, congrats for your work, it´s very nice and beautiful!
Secondly, and I hope it´s not too much to ask for, but would you be so kind to make 2 .cab files with the attached images as background, using the dialpad from the Clouds set or another one you find more suiting (from your posts, I can see you have very good taste! ).
Both photos I took in my honeymoon in Greece (Santorini) and I use them as my background/wallpaper, alternating...
I thank You in advance.
Cheers!
Profezza would it be possible for you to come up with a cab that returns the alpha numeric dialing? you know dialing 1-800-get-mine actuallys dials 1-800-438-6463 so that there is not even a need for the alpha numeric keypad to be displayed? Or if someone can point me in the right direction I would be willing to put this app together.
Hey I found this cab for enabling alpha numeric dialing

As long as you don't mind me sharing it with everybody here, and thus the Internet at large, I would be happy to! Two questions:
Do you have higher resolution versions to work more easily with?
Do you care if I remove the motorboat? I find it distracts from the ambiance. Your call.

Hey guys,
Here are some screenshots of the latest theme I have been working on. Feedback and suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated.
***UPDATE 4/9/09***
Made a lot of fixes based on feedback received. Clock now matches the other icons/notifications, I personally like it a lot better! Application tray handle is now a thumbtack rather than the stapler in jello (stapler in jello is now delete handle). Added matching notification icons for most common stock apps (gmail, im, messaging, market, music, etc.) Cleaned up a weird looking button. Download link below!
***UPDATE 3/27/09***
Icon pack is available below. Included are all the application icons I made, as well as a blank icon background that you can paste your own icons into so they all match. Here is my process for doing that, though I'm not in any was saying that this is the only, or even the best, way to do it:
-Open both the icon you want and the "empty_sketchy" from the icon pack below in your favorite image editing program, GIMP or Photoshop, or whatever.
-You may need to resize the empty sketchy image, it works best if it is about twice as big as your icon you want to paste into it. There are two different sizes available in the zip file below, or it is a simple process to resize it to whatever size you need.
-Select and copy the icon you are working with, and then paste it into the empty_sketchy image. Center it, do any editing you need to do, etc. Then resize the entire thing to 48x48 and save it as a new file.
I'm still making a few changes and updates to the theme, and should release another update sometime this weekend.
***UPDATE 3/25/09***
Beta version now available, see link below. I still haven't quite finished everything I want to do with this theme, but I welcome ideas/suggestions/comments from anyone who wants to test it.
This theme is based on the US version of the TV show "The Office". It utilizes both things from the show, and typical office supplies.
Done:
custom boot screen
some notification icons
unlock screen
button backgrounds
clock
data network icons
phone signal, wifi, and battery icons
notification tray
all custom wallpapers
custom emoticons (from punkymoods.com)
To do:
remaining notification icons
delete tray handle
suggestions, etc

I like the theme for the most part, I dont know what else you would put there but i dont really like the stapler in the jello as the apps tab thing. I really love the icons, can you post those for us to download to use with other themes as well?

wow that would be awesome, i downloaded this wallpaper and resized it for the G1 and your icon set will look awesome on it
not sure about a new app tab I will be thinking about it and let you know if i think of something
I love it i am downloading now the only thing i would change just from looking at the screens would be the clock i just doesnt seem to fit in
See the first post for a link to a zip file with all the icons from this theme and instructions on how to make matching icons for other applications.
@JediMasterASD: That corkboard wallpaper is awesome. Maybe I should include that as one of the wallpaper gallery choices in the theme.

I don't think I love the clock either. I'm thinking maybe just a square clock like the kind in every office and schoolroom in the world would be better...what do you think?
Thanks again for the icons, i have already made a few more and am loving it! this is my current homescreen
I would actually like to get a copy of your theme without a graphic at all for the apps tab if possible, obviously you dont have to go changing it just for me though but my homescreen would be perfect then. Also a clock that more resembled something you would see in an office would be good too.
also something you could do is for the app tab and the notification is use weapons, becuase we all know how much dwight loves to hide weapons around the office!!!
bump for the update - see first post for changes and for new download link!!!
First off, I'd like to thank daveid for making the first theme template, saving us the trouble of re-flashing the entire ROM for any theme.
Next I want to give credit to MOONSSPOON, I based some of my icons from his prior themes, however the ones here will differ once completed.
Lastly, I want to thank Stericson for suppling the community with the amazing xml and java edits that he's accomplished. If there is anyone here in this community that deserves thanks above all else, its him.
So without further due, here is a sneak peak at my upcoming theme:
Forever
***Update 5-6-2009***
Alright well I have a busy week with school and vacation this weekend, so my progress is coming a bit slow. I'm not very fond of the changes in the connection type and battery that I made, so expect changes there. I've taken my first stab at the app drawer, but it's a bit too crisp for my tastes, I plan to roughen it up a bit. I've made some more changes to the backgrounds of the status drawer and app drawer, but I'll post those when I'm more satisfied with them.

I still have a lot of work to do, I only just started this project, so I am looking for any feedback or suggestions, positive or negative. So please leave your comments and help hasten its progress.
Looks pretty cool so far.
My only suggestion is to keep the icons a dark with shades of green to match everything..
I like the battery meter.
Looking good. You inspired me to make my own custom boot screen, put a little thought into it and realized it could be done very simply. Not sure if it is the method you took, but this is what I did. I opened the original files, for the logo-shine I converted the layer to a smart object (all work done in Photoshop), and applied a color overlay (with some nice blending options to it) to turn it blue hue'd.
I then opened the logo-mask file, and colored over the entire thing in 0 0 0 black. Created my text using the font of my choice, in blue. And used the background eraser (preserving the black) to erase the text. Leaving a boot screen that looks like this when it is loading:
Now.. back to your theme. I would think some brownish icons would compliment the green overall theme nicely. Kinda give it those earth tones.

First off, thank you! I've been pondering over this all about finding a completive color for the theme and the whites and greys just didn't fit right, and the browns just eluded me. So booyah! I've got a perspective on where to go from here.
As for the boot screen (in PS CS4), I created a new document with the dimensions of the android-logo-mask.png, kept its background transparent. I created a new layer of a black box (rgb, 0 0 0) covering the visible dimenions. Then created the text how I wanted on a new layer. Next, focused on the first black box, then ctrl - click on the contents of the text layer, selecting only the text contents on your black box, then just deleting the selection and presto, black box with your text cut out, preserving your transparent background.
Saved it as a png. Open it with fireworks, export it as PNG 8 with alpha transparency (to compress its size).
And on the android-logo-shine.png is just a scrolling marque that will go end to end across the back of android-logo-mask.png. I noticed yours does have as much of a "shine" to it anymore. Idk if that was your goal or not but yeah, thats how I did mine .

I agree w/ daveid, brown would go really well with it so far, making it into a more earth tone theme.
Iwould take it a bit farther and encompass the silver elements of that status bar into a silver-green theme, or even silver-green with a highlights of brown. (I can't help but think of elves when I picture this in my head...weird) The reason I think green and silver would be better main colours is the theme looks very natural and equal elements of green and brown might "pop" it too much. Green/Silver (white w/ that shade of black) would fit, but deffinetly has to have brown highlights somewhere.
I'm sure it's on your list, but I would change the pull-up menu tab from stock. It conflicts with your theme, which is looking really great.
Great start!
Love the colors! Not so sure about the clock but that's a personal preference thing. White clock looks awesome with it. Can't wait to see the release.
Like it, cant wait to see the finished product!
LOVE THE GREEN!!! I would suggest skinning the bottom pull menu though
Come on now, you all didn't expect me to leave the app drawer default, did you?
I've only just begun, so when an idea pops in my head I take care of it. I'm not handling anything in a specific order, however the icons will probably be my last addition (however I'll get up a few prototypes for screenshot-sake and help add to the feel of the theme).
Anyways I've added an update along with new screenshots, check it out.
It's coming together nicely. The browns really do compliment the greens and give it more depth. Keep it coming.
I like it! I like the shades of green and brown you used. The suggestion of a complimenting silver is a good one. Also, consider an earthy dark/muted blue for some highlights (suggestive of water). Then you would have the three primary earth tones - primarily using the green and brown with some small amount of silver/blue as highlights.
Just my .02c - Looking forward to trying it out on Dudes' build!

As of right now my plans are only supporting JF's ADP1.5 build. That may change down the road, but wouldn't come until I release a final for JF's build.
Oh...the silver is gone. The brown highlights look nice, but the removal of the silver in the task bar seems to have taken something away from the overall theme rather than added something in.

Yeah, agreed. I really wasn't impressed with its turnout. I'll make chanegs when I'm back from vacation.
I like it, but to be honest im not feeling the pull out bar.
::bump::
i dont wanna see this theme die...
I've never been a big fan of the yellow XDA theme, and I've never seen a way to change it, so I grabbed the CSS from the site and put it into Stylish, a Firefox CSS tweak extension, and modified it so the yellow tones are changed to different colors, see the full list below. It also narrows the page to 'only' 1200 pixels, in case you're using it on a huge monitor and don't want the page being that wide. It's easy to edit at the top of the code if you don't like that change.
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else would want this sort of thing. I'm NO CSS ninja, I just clumsily hacked on it. The XDA icons are still yellow/brown, some of the links in the Dark Grey probably need tweaking.
Thanks to sickbox the bug in my CSS edits which make the top bar with User CP/FAQ etc disappear when you hover over the links is fixed!
The Stylish code is here, you'll need Firefox+Stylish Extension, Greasemonkey, or Opera to use it.

NEW! XDA 2010 Theme!
Blue - http://userstyles.org/styles/43606?r=1296614893
Above is my initial shot at converting the 2010 XDA theme to a blue. Once I work out the places to change, I can pretty easily add Greys etc. Help would be appreciated!
New!! XDA 2015 Themes
For the Dark theme
Blue - https://userstyles.org/styles/106066/xda-developers-2015-dark-theme
For the default (light) theme
Blue - https://userstyles.org/styles/106068/xda-developers-2015-light-theme
For 2015 I've only modified areas with wasted space and changed the font from Orange to Blue. It's still in beta a bit, I still have some clean up I'd like to do but I think it might be useful to some people.
Hope it's useful to some folks. I'm using it full time.
Good idea, I'd personally go with more subdued colors. I'd recommend http://kuler.adobe.com to find a complementary combination of blues.
Here's one I like:

Ha, that's the one I was poking at once you directed me. I'm gonna do that. Plus I think I'll find a good set of Green and Red. Already put in a Grey. I'm not going to make a dozen themes, but I'm up for suggestions.

Blue theme updated to match those colors.. That was easy. Working on Red and Green. Added Grey and Dark Grey.
Awesome job, I really like the blue and grey!
I'm also in for the blue and grey! great work!!
I use the blue theme, that works great =D !
And it change the monotony of xda colors...
It's the XDA Powwerrrr !
A basic place with extra men.
thanks man loving the dark grey
I use the blue theme, it really sets XDA apart from the others See ?

Wow! The blue theme really does look good! I modified mine to fit the 1920x1080p display of my laptop.
I actually don't mind the disappearing text on the top bar because now I know when I'm hovering over a link.
im liking the blue theme too just a few images off color but im sure you will figure that out soon. im using it with the new vbulletin plugin for firefox which has a menu bar on the bottom so the disappearing links at the top dont bother me either. thanks for doing this, its nice to have a change of scenery every now and then.
How to get this working in Opera (hope nobody sent it yet):
Open the code in post #1, copy the all source code except the mozilla stuff (@namespace and @-moz-document)
Now, open eg notepad, put there all the text and save it as eg C:\xda.css
Now in Opera, open xda forums -> right click -> Edit local preferences -> Display (Graphics??) and there will be select for User CSS. Select the C:\xda.css -> click OK -> reload page and voila
If you're talking about the themes...
There goes mine, black-gray-whatever, it isn't finished (I must get look the same index and listing pages), but the base is fine and doesn't hurt eyes in night
http://userstyles.org/styles/24118
yeah here is mine, its black, blue, grey still have some tweaking to do but if anybody wants to try it...
http://userstyles.org/styles/24120
Just wanted to say thanks... it's rad, and it's easy... like my dates used to be..

Jeez, I can't believe I am only now seeing this for the first time today -- January 12, 2010 ! -- 7 months later. God, if only i'd known before. What a welcome sight!
Looks like maybe I should be bumping this thread every so often! Glad people are enjoying it. I know I immediately install UserStyles and the Blue theme when I jump on a computer which doesn't have it, that Yellow just kills me.

Album Tab: Enlarged pictures/videos preview size for easier viewing
Music Tab: Enlarged album view and changed perspective

messaging bug
I like your rom but I found the following bug: when you try to enter a recepients name in sms dialog box something messes up. I think that it tries to display contacts from outlook but it doesn't show up but messes up the vertical scrollbar and stuff.
Otherwise seems nice

no it not, at me there are 3 icons. And i downloaded that themes but nothing has changed, that impossible stuff is still there.
have been testing your ROM for a day or so & I have listed a few things below as a general feedback.
One of the issues i have is that when assigning images to the people tab, the images are not resized correctly. They are way too big!
I have to go back into the contact & edit the manually by re-selecting the photo a second time. It's not a big issue, just annoying one.
The letter selector on the contacts list is a little jumbled which means the letters are not shown cleanly.
With the tabs on the home screen i really like the text being used however the white shading used at the top half of the tab makes the text a little hard to read in certain light conditions.
Also are you considering releasing a LITE version without the rarely used apps like MS office, Java, MP3 Trimmer, games? Looking for more speed
Generally its a good first attempt as it appears quite stable & reasonbly quick.
well done. looking forward to more releases
cheers
Pete
