Also thanks to WarlockW as I used one of his themes to learn how to create a theme. And for letting me use some of his work. Also a special thanks to malybru for encouraging me get more involved on XDA.

Further thanks: Mr.Highway, for giving me the idea for the V for Vendetta theme. GROGG88 for a ton of support and help, and for being a awesome person. Shaquiel Harris for his thread on splashscreens and his handy tool for making them. Behold_this for his help with learning bootanimations.
Unless further stated by me, all themes are for 4EXT Recovery and no other recovery. Also I am not responsible for any unfortunate thing that may happen from the use of any of my work in this thread or for any negative effect from the use of 4EXT Recovery
Ok a little back story, I have been a member here on XDA-Developers for about 14 months now. And the community has helped me so much and I have learned literally a ton of stuff from the community here on XDA. And for the past several months I have been wanting to give back to the community somehow. So about a week ago I decided to try to put together my own theme for 4EXT Recovery. So with out further ado, here is my first 4EXT Recovery theme, but stay tuned for more themes.

I am currently learning how to use image editing software better and I am constantly learning more about Android. I hope to be able to make a complete theme someday.
If any ROM Dev is interested I am always open to helping with any imaging related work in thier ROM.
Only one for now but I will be adding to this one, but boot animations take time.

To install you need to place the .zip file in /data/local. You can use a File manager such as Root File Explorer or ES File Manager. You can use Droid explorer, and last you can use the following adb commands.
When you have btnX_tex.png you dont need btn_tex and btn_tex_disabled.
Isn`t a progress from WarlockW? Fits perfect to your theme!
You could add to your theme.prop:
button.3.background.red = 0
button.3.background.green = 0
button.3.background.blue = 250
button.3.background.alpha = 60
button.3.background.pressed.red = 0
button.3.background.pressed.green = 0
button.3.background.pressed.blue = 254
button.3.background.pressed.alpha = 150

Thanks for the advice as I am still learning about how to make the theme look the way I want it to . I will try your suggestion and see what happens but I think I am going to try it a little different than you suggested as I started editing the theme.prop yesterday to make it a all red them as red is and white are the primary colors in the images. The following is what I will try.
I did some editing on the theme.prop and removed the two images that marc2040 mentioned. I also did some further editing of the theme.prop on both versions. I made all text red, gave the buttons and loading bar red outlines, and made the menu touch response red. I added a download for both versions with these changes but left the original versions. I will try to add screen shots of the red versions tomorrow.
Would you like to know one of the things that really annoys me on a daily basis? Tough, … more
