Very nice update. I especially love then work done to the Contatcs/Phone app. Finally all cleaned up to use as my daily driver. :p

The only issues I can point out is the Cyanogenmod settings icon is smaller than the others. Also, there's still areas where its still orange. And the browser's address bar should be slimmer and black to blend in better. But I'm sure you knew that already.

Keep what you guys are doing, we all appreciate you taking the time to do this theme for the community. :)

Yes I noticed the icon a while ago, I will have to do a Tad of grapphic work, shouldn't take too long to fix though :D

Where abouts is it still orange?
I will fix the keyboard and when you press a list item shortly, I hope...(I know how, but whether it will work is another question)

Thanks for The response :)

What do you mean by "I killed the dialer"??

If you do to the dialer itself, the icons are _really_ bad. I think its pulling mdpi/ldpi sources as i don't have the relevant hdpi ones.

This is happening cause of the recent merging of themes.

Ill fix is as soon as I work out what is doing it!

this theme looks awesome! just a question, do you know if it would be possible to get the windows phone 7 sms style theme? like where its blue sms text bubbles and such?

wp7 sms client is already in beta testing in market.

It's called metro messeging or something similar.

It's beta stage, a little laggy, but looks fantastic! Give it a go from market place.

When I click through menus in some areas, I get the orange highlight instead of the blue. Here are some screen shots.

I had actually fixed these but then I removed them when I kept getting a parse error, turned out that I had actually typed an xml wrong. Shouldn't be too hard to implement back in

How is everyone finding the text boxes btw? - Are the borders a bit thin or anything?

Mushroom_Lord any chance of getting beta version in metamorph style? Which can then be made flashable using zipthemer?

I'm testing a non-CM7 ROM and wanted to take your theme with me on that ROM! :D

Thanks a lot for that!

For now I'm back to CM7 (again!) as nothing soothes my eyes as WP7 theme!

the latest download should be beta 1.3 but the file I downloaded says beta 1.4 :)

I like the depth of colours you've put in. Also the round icons -metro look are awesome. Will you be adding more icons to it?
I've downloaded the icon pack from market, but there isn't a way I can change all icons using Launcher 7.
On your phone how do you get all the icons to become metro-like?

I noticed the same thing, it says 1.4.
I recently found this thread, and I've fallen in love with this. (I'm using Launcher 7 also, and a couple of other themed apps)

Although, I am having trouble applying the morph. When flashing it after building it with ZipThemer... Nothing changes. Also, I get an error while using Metamorph. Any ideas why?

I'd love to see this progress farther. It's a great theme you've created.

You are on Cm7?
and are you sure you are flashing the build file and not the undo one?

I suppose you could extract the images from the apk if you wanted, but you'd need the authors consent.

@PaintballerAlex had added all the application icons, he may add more, provided he has them available!

    QUOTE=JudasLucifer;27404044]I do at some point intend to add mango icons...I just need to get a source of them, decompiling ROMS for Windows Phone 7 devices got me nowhere.

    I never expected this to support anything lower than HDPI, as that's the only phone I have. However someone said near the start it worked on their LDPI device because theme chooser scales the images down, I have never been able to test this.

    App drawer icons were implemented at some point but many people didn't want them included - and so they weren't. The file manager icon still remains because it uses the same image the rest of the system uses for the folder icon.

    I haven't posted on this thread in a long time and there have been no updates. This is because 1) I didn't see any pressing issues, 2) I have since moved onto CM9 and 3) Lots of schoolwork. I will however revisit this at somepoint and make it "more compatible" with CM9[/QUOTE]

    I have my metro theme for cm9 in progress :D

    I will try and get in touch with the theme author, see what he says...but I wouldn't be surprised if he says no!


    I made the text boxes the exact same size as the original, except I think I might have got rid of some shadow around the edge and left it blank, so it might not work there if you touch now, where you might have used to have been.

    That said I am just in the habit of touching the centre and it works fine, And I don't know what I could do about this...



    I have the highlights half working in Theme Chooser. That being, they are still yellow to the touch, but turn the darker blue (focus) on long press.

    I can't see a problem in my xml:

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_disabled" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_disabled" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_focus" />
        <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_pressed" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_focus" />
    </selector>

    The "frameworks_res_list_selector_background_pressed" is obviously the light blue .9.png - but its still occurring yellow. So I think it *may* be a limit of Theme Chooser. Or someone else might be able to prove me wrong :p

    I will have to put them in the next metamorph for the time being...

    I have messaged the creator of said MetroStation icons, and will await his response to see if I have permission to re-distribute!

    Since it's a free app, I hope he will be liberal!

    Also another good contact might be guys from Minimal bread and Minimal magic - seems most of the 'orange' odd bits have been overcome in those themes. Even on long press options where we get Orange and in keyboard suggestions - they have managed to make themechooser theme with everything coloured in same flow. May be they might be able to share the trick?

    If @PaintballerAlex wants - he could add more from the market app called 'MetroStation' - it's icon pack. I am not sure how the author might be contacted, but if everyone is happy, you could probably acknowledge the original author and use A LOT of icons in theme.

    For now, icons are semi-themed on my phone. I'm unable to change any icons using various icon-swapping apps. They fail on Launcher 7.

    Also,

    You mentioned that you might have a separate metamorph for replacing all the 'Orange highlights' - would it be replaced by blue or white? With current theme only tile colour that matches is blue, but if all orange were replaced by white, I guess all other tile colours might suit too. :)

    The text boxes in email and messaging seems about right!

    However some grey boxes don't respond very well to touch. I mean touching it's edges or few other areas might not work straightaway, but touching right in the centre of any greybox, generally works. If touched in corners then it just needs another tap. It could be my dying touchscreen, but since everythin else works ok, it could be that the images are smaller, bigger or something that I don't understand. But no biggie though.

    Awesome speed!

    You are getting a hang of this theme! ;)

    I'll try to look up more things that can be replicated as in WP7 - and then give more puzzles for you to solve after homework!

    For MMS.apk and speech bubbles - there is an app in the market called WP7 messeging or something similar in search terms.

    It's a new app in beta version, but they seem to have managed to get the bubbles working! - it looks extremely COOL!

    However, it's very laggy and slow as it's still under development. But if you could blend something in - that would be awesome, if not, users could add this app to have a feel of it. Not good enough for daily use though.
