After a great deal of time using other peoples' work, I have to decided to create something of my own. It has been inspired by many people and many themes over the past few months. My goal was to create something matte and simplistic yet sleek and, oh yeah, my favorite color is baby blue.

I present to you: MattedBlues! There are multiple versions for a variety of scenarios.

CM version pictured below:

FAQ:

What is the color code for this theme? It's 73B6D6
What's the weather widget in the CM screenshot? That would be Beautiful Widgets using the MattedBlues Super Clock skin.
Where can I get the dock from the CM screenshot? It's attached to the OP.
What devices are officially supported for use with MattedBlues? There are only two: the EVO 4G and the Nexus S.
How often is MattedBlues updated? As soon as possible but please realize that we have jobs, families and friends as well.
What's the ETA on <insert_something_here>? When it's done.
Will MattedBlues be coming to <insert_ROM_name_here>? It really depends on the demand.

MAIN DOWNLOADS:

MattedBlues (for CM7 Theme Engine) is now LIVE on the Market (LOL!)

Wow, this is nice. I haven't really seen screen shots since you posted some of the early notification bar stuff on twitter. This has fleshed out really well.

I'm mostly a CM6 user, but I love the sense work. It kinda keeps the look of sense, but tones it down a notch.

Yeah it definitely progressed from my early screens of the notification bar, that's for sure.

I have converted to CM6 as well seeing as my theme looks much better on CM6 imo. I love the themed Sense widgets but I can't have the best of both worlds (well, maybe I kind of can with LauncherPro, but it's not the same).

any chance you can incorporate the smooth icon set into this with the battery percentage in the battery icon for the sense version?

Edit: All that is missing is a translucent/transparent signature lock screen/bar for Sense and the battery percentage incorporating the smooth sense icon set and i am all in. I like the other stuff out there, but matte + blue = win in my book

    Awesome! Of course I figured out that I needed to wait for the right MB for CM7 nightly version (#8) that I was running. And I did so after I flashed CM7#11! DUH. So since it looks like you won't be working on MB's for #11 I'll nuke and re-flash #8 until the Sense version is done.

    Quick question how well does MB play if you run one of the scripts that removes sense (I like to run with ADW)? And would you consider making a theme for ADW?

    EDIT: darn it just noticed that #11 is giving me significantly better battery life! DUH!
    I didn't expect the framework to change for #11 and since it did I will be releasing a version that works with 11 soon. Hang tight.

    For those of you using the apk here is a metamorph you can use for the lock screen..I would personally suggest using Zipthemer to apply it though.

    the theme is great. that is why i keep coming back to it. it just causes more bad things than good unfortunately.

    you designed this?
    Jabbawalkee created the theme. I maintain it for him. He's moved on to the Nexus S. I'm moving on to the Atrix. I'm seriously considering creating a document detailing how the theme is built and giving it to Jabba so that he can make a decision on whether to hand it out. I know people out there love this theme - I do too - but I'm pretty sick and tired of being spit on, flamed, talked down to..... the "scene" has finally gotten the best of me and, frankly, I have better stuff to do.

    Everyone at XDA claims to know how things go but the truth of the matter is that plenty of people DON'T understand what's really going on. Sometimes this theme might not work on your phone for a variety of reasons. Don't like it? MOVE THE F ON. To come into a thread that you don't even contribute to and suggest that it be closed???

    Please man. Give me a f'n break. I wouldn't release this stuff if it didn't work tip top on my device. If it doesn't work on yours that's just tough potatoes mister.

    Now that you've pissed me off I'll continue my plan to extend my vacation from XDA because all you've done is spit on me by suggesting that the thread be closed. How dare you.

    FLASHABLE Services.jar mods for MattedBlues v1.4

    Great work guys! I'm thrilled with the power widgets in the notification pulldown; however, are these controlled by the services.jar file? If so, anyway we can get the mods to services.jar that removes icons such as debugging, gps, alarm, and the time clock in the statusbar?
    Here you go. The only thing I couldn't get to was making versions that remove the USB debugging icon. I'll get around to that later. For now, I'm thinking these will make you happy:

    FLASHABLE Services.jar mods for MattedBlues v1.4 (3.30):

    - No GPS icon - (Mirror)
    - No GPS, no alarm icons - (Mirror)
    - No GPS, no alarm, no clock icons - (Mirror)
    - No GPS, no alarm, no battery icons - (Mirror)
    - No GPS, no alarm, no battery, no clock icons - (Mirror)
    - No clock - (Mirror)

    and, of course, in case you want to go back to "stock" after flashing any of these:

    - MattedBlues "stock" services.jar file - (Mirror)

    As stated previously, just flash these via your recovery app.

    I'll add a link to this post in the OP. I'm hittin' the hay. Have a nice night everyone!
