Default [Theme] Older is Better (GREEN) Beta 1.2* - RELEASE 1-23-09 UPDATED

THIS THEME IS RC30 approved, not responsible for nada, my appologies for any inconveniences... im sure we can work it out... works 100% for me.






Well i said I was releasing a theme and here you have it...

i must first give props to the theme makers of BUUF and Ghost Black, and my man Stericson... for icons, clocks, and how to's...

I made a clear green clock, with accented numbers in white glow... changed the menu button to a clear green, and added the landscape view as well for the menu button. most of the icons have been changed, I am still making many new adjustments, but I thought it was done enough, thats why its a beta.
** I made the wallpaper with PicSay on the G1.. no lie**

-updates to include-
finish all icons to clear green, change status bar, and any other problems anyone wants me to find or that i feel need to be changed... enjoy

Screenshots are coming, just a G1 taking pics of a G1

thanks man, i have the creativity, i just needed some help, which you helped me with, with understandin everything to the point that I could create this...

quick questions... where the hell is that status bar? could i even ask for the name of the icon picture? Im sure its in launcher.apk or framework.apk, but the theme build im builiding off of has some icons cleared or absolutely blank, so idk what would go there to know the size, name, etc...

was thinking of clear black with green icons.... and a very transparent green window shade when u swipe down the status bar....

sorry, know where that is 2?

thanks, ill keep kicking them out

Possible Projects:
Philadelphia Phillies - World Champs theme (hometown, DJ, Drexel)
Fingerprint Theme - where the background is fingerprints and you cant tell when you open the menu tab (its all thumbails, not sure about the concept)
Many other colors coming out, along with my custom PicSay pictures I have like 100 i could mix with themes and all colors... just a long process.. AND NEW CLOCKS

Looks cool. You think you could use the screenshot program to upload real screenshots?
