[Theme] MonoChrome 1.0 [ADP1/RC30]

---

Hey all.

For a while now I've been tinkering around with icons and wallpapers and stuff for Android and the G1/Dream, but I've never put it all together to make a theme of my own.. so I thought I'd change that. I'm calling this theme MonoChrome 1.0, and it is currently ADP1 and RC30 compatible.

Have an ADP1 or RC30 and wanna try the theme out? You'll find the download links and instructions near the bottom of this post.


** UPDATE 01/19/2009: All the default system icons added, wallpaper/dock tweaked, changed a few transparency settings. New screenshots below. **





More screenshots (can't attach more than four images per post):

Thoughts, ideas, dirty offers..? Let me have it.

Oh, and credits goes out to brandenk and his Kspec theme from which I borrowed parts of the theme.

Wanna try it out? Download links:

ADP1: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ICV03T5U

RC30: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H7JGM4T1 **Tested and confirmed working**

1) Make sure you have JFv1.31 installed on your ADP1 or rooted RC30 G1 before you try to install this theme.
2) Download file from one of the above links.
3) Rename file to update.zip
4) Transfer file to the root catalog of your SD card.
5) Disconnect ExtUSB cable and shut phone down.
6) Press Home + Power to start the phone up in Recovery Mode/JFv1.31.
7) Once booted into JFv1.31 press Alt + S to install.
8) When install is complete press Home + Back to reboot.
9) Cross your fingers and wait. If all goes well Android ought to be up and running my theme within a minute.

This theme has been tested on two ADP1 phones without any issues, but I am NOT to be held responsible if your phone for some reason gets bricked in the process. Install at your own peril.

Looks great I think. But on the second picture the "dock" looks a little to white to me.

The Market icon, you mean? Yeah, I agree, the droid needs to be a few shades darker. I'll fix that later on tonight, or tomorrow.

Oh and thanks for the input, it's very valuable because you tend to stare yourself blind on your own theme.

No the market icon looks alright. I was talking about that white shade behind the icons at the bottom of the screen. I think it is a little to white. It looks perfect in the top picture but for some reason in the bottom it looks to white. I am not sure why since it is the same picture. You might not need to do anything to it. It just pulls my eyes off the icons into the negative space of the background.

Ah, now I get it. I could try to make the "dock" slightly darker. I'll try that, it's like a two minute job, tops.


**edit**





How does this look? I decreased the luminance and added a bit more texture instead.

the darker "dock" looks a lot better imo. btw great looking theme. i was never too fond of all the other themes so this might be my first theme i install. also, not sure if you would be willing to or if anyone else agrees, since the theme is dark i think colored icons with the same black background you have now would look awesome.

The darker dock does look better, I'll stick with that one. As for your icon request, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you elaborate a bit?

Lovin it!!!!

Ah, I see. Well that's pretty nice actually, though bright colors are not for me; I tend to prefer the desaturated look. However, as soon as I release this theme people are free, encouraged even, to modify and improve on it as they see fit.
