Wow, that solar system theme is very nice looking :)
Few questions here though! When using this, will this interfere at all when updating the recovery to the next version? Or can I just update as normal?
And if I wanted to go back to the stock recovery theme, how would I do so?

When I updated from the "classic" 4EXT to the Touch, I still had the beats theme activated. Think there's a folder that contains the UI setup, either on the SD or the phone itself.

First: No, it won't interfere at all. The theming engine is an integral part of 4ext Recovery, so the theme will most probably even survive the update without reapplying it. If the theme should be gone or partially gone after a 4ext-update, just reflash it.
Second: If you want to remove it, got to "tools" and select "remove theme". Then go to "Power Menu" and "reboot recovery" - voilá

Great Themes

Today i flashed Arhd for the 1'st time in a couple months cause i got hooked on rcmix with all the tweaks they have,but when i flashed arhd 4.1.10 and i went to ext 4 and seen that it changed and it was touchscreen, i felt like the biggest geek in the world cause i shook in excitement and almost dropped my dam phone. And to all that think im over exasperating than you are wrong. I go nuts over stuff like this. But seriously right now you are the man for these themes. Thank you so much!

That's not quantum physics :D. Just download one of them and extract to a folder.
Its a bunch of graphics files and a prop-file with all the variables.
The rest is searching of picture-sources, photoshop, some calculation of sizes and a bit of imagination ;).

so i did this and noticed that both neon and scribble both have the files btn_tex and btn_tex_disabled but starwars and solar system dont. What are these exactly? because it doesnt even show a picture either and i am really keen to make an ics theme. Help please:eek:

Edit: By the way i love scribble, and another question if i leave the theme.prop what will be the result of using with a different theme

Edit#2: last question how do i make progress bar because yours seem to be one image/png file

Sorry for not answering so long:eek:.
btn_tex and the other one are needed when you use your own yes/no buttons, They are the background for them (here transparent pngs
As theme.prop defines the sizes and alpho-modes of each use icon using the wrong theme.prop will leave a chaos on your screen when used with another theme :D. Be careful, in some cases a wrong build.prop will even freeze your phone when starting recovery.

Progressbar MUST be one png with all needed frames in a regular grid, each pic the same size. Size of grid must be defined in build.prop.

Hi Jotha. Your themes are so wonderful. :) I just installed "Neon" for Classic Recovery on a friend's Sensation and I love it so much, I was wondering if you (perhaps) had this theme for a 480X800 device? I use the G2/DZ... either way, I wanted to say, wow & thank you. :)

Sorry for not answering so long. I don't have Sensation anymore and the phones I used (Galaxy Nexus and now HTC One X) have no 4ext recovery yet :(.

I don't get you. There is a version for 480x800 directly under the preview picture. If there is 4ext recovery for your phone, just use it even if it's not a Desire HD ;).

I thought my question might be a little confusing... you created a theme (also called NEON) for the Classic version of 4EXT which is quite different than the the theme titled NEON in this thread (screenshot below). I was actually wondering if you had this particular theme for a 480x800 device. No worries though! I'll probably be moving on to the HTC One S soon anyway. ;)

    Some Themes for 4EXT Recovery Touch

    Here I present some Themes for the fantastic 4ext Recovery Touch by madmaxx82, which you can download here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1377759

    Those themes were made during beta-testing the recovery and it's fabulous theming possibilities partly as a proof of concept and to test the theming engine of the recovery.

    As the recovery will be developed further, these themes will be adapted and developed also.

    Please be advised that these themes will NOT work with 4ext Recovery classic

    Installation: Place on SD-Card and flash in Recovery, then restart recovery
    (Soon to come: Install from 4ext App)


    Starwars-Theme for 4ext Recovery Touch
