Default [theme] - mixtape - [by kllngtme] - for rc33

okay so here it is, my official release of this theme. it's still in progress but i figured i'd get it out there so people can leave me feedback and see what they want added/changed. The whole thing is based around a hardcore type of theme but I had no idea where to go with it. It's pretty plain for now but it's a nice look. The notification bar is awesome IMO. If there are any icons or things taken from other themes that I still havent updated or changed to make my own, this is a thankyou to all the other themer's out there.

You can't see from the preview but it has a cassette tape as the VM notification.

It should work with anyone who has a JF RC33 mod (I have JF 1.42 rc33). Don't blame me if you brick your phone.

the battery icon is the black flag logo for an FYI (currently in the picture it's reading 80%)



download theme (version 1.1) (rename to update.zip of course)

Looks good so far. If your going for the whole music/mixtape theme I would say change the icons to cassette tapes or CDs with the program name written on there. That would look cool.

that's not a bad idea at all. I was trying to figure out ways for different icons but it's tough when you are trying to like match icons with certain themes..

i'll fool around with some ideas based around the whole cassette tape/cd thing. i'll see how it looks on the phone and such.

for the dialer I had records for the numbers and when you clicked or selected a number it would be a broken record but it wasn't looking right when it was setup so i went with standard buttons for the dialer instead.

where did you get the icons? would be nice to be able to use alternate apps.. I use K9SMS and StarContact instead of Messaging and Contacts

i made the icons pretty much. either they were done completely by me or i took an image i found off google and then stripped it and or modified it to be my own and work more with this theme.

The messaging icon is the stock icon without the smiley face and instead of using the white already on the stock icon i used a beige color more towards the colors used in the theme.

i use the stock messaging and contacts, you can do whatever you like to make this theme better fit you. this is how my phone looks. as for using alternate apps, sure, use whatever the hell you want.. you can change any app icon you want using bettercut (or you could manually change it in the apk)

I am. I like it. I mainly downloaded it for the dialer screen and the couple of icons that are nice here (browser, battery, vm). I realize that you're still working on it, and look forward to other changes.
