Default [THEME] Stevekixs Theme

This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.

I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.

I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.


Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes

Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!

You should be able to flash via CWM.

BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.

NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.

At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.

Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.

I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.

BTW nice work.

Thanks. Im going to try that out later.

Do you know how I'd modify the bar above the notifications with the wifi etc? It looks kinda ugly because everything else is black lol.
