This one is for Blade Themes and Applications!
Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.
Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,
There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

... or make it using UOT Kitchen.
I have an idea for the powers to be here that make themes...
A black theme, with colored icons (like cm7 colorized), transparent apps like fb, gmail as addons. Preloaded with the nokia fontpack (i posted it a while back search down a bit its there), a variation of grays and darkness, transparent pulldown taskbar, a slighly less colorful version of symbian icons (adw has a symbian theme for its launcher).
Basically a hybrid version of an all black/gray theme with some mild colorization such as in the settings menus etc. What about when you select a menu item it flashes like a pulse real quick when selected? For those that like other fonts the theme should not have preset fonts that are not flashable (meaning if its in arial and i flash the nokia font everything should show up in the nokia font and i shouldnt see arial anywhere)
I know im asking a lot, but im thinking community wide here throwing ideas out to the geniuses here that do have the talent to make such a theme, as i am a tard when it comes to cooking this stuff up.
Not to knock the themes that are here because just because i dont like them does not mean they suck. I totally respect the theme makers for their quality of work, but to me the only one i have liked so far is the matted blues one and the cm7 colorized to a degree. I like the black ones but they are too boring and need some life in them. (Again, my opinion not knocking it) and the monotone black/single color i feel the same way as well.
Anyways, if anyone wants to add to my ideas that flow along with it nicely please feel free.

You could prob make this yourself... go to the main android theme threads and look for the ultimate online theme engine.. gives you a great amount of options.. could use to change noticiation bar on top of a theme you use an a base.. then use theme injector to change over other pngs from other themes you like..

Please help me people . I want to remove everything that is transparent in ICS trans theme . Actually when we add a background to any custom rom .. whether transparent or not the scrolling of lists starts to lag. In stock rom the re is no background ( black background ) andd the scrolling is super smooth .
But i love the looks and features of custom roms like creed and cod rom but i can't bear any lag in the scrolling lists. moreover other apps like whatsapp ex dialer also lag wen scrolled . This is just due to the changing background of the android system. ain't there any way to revert that background to black just like in stock roms ? please help

Guys, I search themes with cured icons, but I have lost too hours without obtain what I need. For the moment I use official Limitless theme, but I have noticed that Instagram icon (for example) is ugly. Icons are a little bit to small, not like old ported theme, but the proportions are not perfect like the other brands. So, I'm searching themes with beatiful icons, with a decent Instagram icon, maybe with Gapps with white curved icon, like Huawei has did with his new flagship, or simply a theme with cured icons. I've tried Multirom theme, but for me a lot of icons are too ugly. We can try to collect here the best icon themes that we found. What do you think? I usually maintain the original theme, and customize only the icons, so for me isn't important if theme is good or not, for me are the icons the important things.
Let me know what do you think
I keep running back to Elun and sometimes it's lighter brother Cryten.
Star Track
I try a lot of themes again, and I've noticed that Instagram icon is always strange. It has or a background or a strange form. I think to unistall it
Who likes iOS or Samsung theme?
Delta Icon Pack is the best IMO.
Howdy everyone!! Hope everyone's day was good, now that I got good lock and it's be released in more regions, and I really never messed around with making your own themes and haven't been really a fan of of theme adn key bored bloated with Spam apps and don't even theme all the way to settings, so just wondered if any here is using it or plans on using that would mind sharing and please feel free to show off screen shots!!
