[THEME] Lordsmiff III (CM 4.2.5) 17th Nov

---

Call me picky but, I just couldn't seem to find a theme that I really liked. Android 2.0 comes close but I liked the red of the blur ROM - so, wanting a red-ish theme and a smaller app drawer at the bottom, I decided to make my own theme.

I also seem to be a bit of a rarity in that in the main, I actually like the default status bar icons so I don't feel it necessary to make the battery round or android shaped or anything. So, on mine, the battery looks like a battery...I dunno, seemed kinda logical to me ;) I added a little touch of colour to some of them but nothing OTT I don't think (I really like my 3G activity icon now - reminds me of an old modem with status LED's

There are a couple of things that I pinched out of other people's ROMs (gmail icon from djengiz), widget background from ZilverZurfarn's melange theme but most of it has either been replaced or re-coloured by me

Thanks to everyone I've nicked stuff from and anyone else I haven't "credited".

And, of course, a big thanks to Cyanogen for his awesome ROMs

It runs OK for me - I've only got a G1 so use it on anything else at your own risk.

Guarantees :

1) I will mysteriously disappear should this break everyone's phones.
2) I probably can't fix it if it doesn't work (mention it anyway though)
3) That it will not work on your Nokia N95
4) Or your Sony Ericsson C905
5) That I've not finished tweaking it

Todo list:
=======
*** Status bar background - re-thinking the brushed metal look - let me know what you think about this
*** Power widget background (still using ZilverZurfarn's but want to get my own there ASAP)
* Browser link shortcut icon needs re-colouring (forgot for this one)
** Analogue Clock Widget
* App drawer handle needs "tidying" - I'm not as happy as i could be with it :)

Hope you like it - let me know how it works out for you.

Update to 4.2.5
============
I've re-done most, if not all of the icons that I just pinched from the blur ROM and I've been a bit more selective of the stuff that I've recoloured as I thought it was looking a little too dark previously. I've also taken out a lot of the un-used png's that have been hanging around as the ROMs have developed.

I initially used the Android 2.0 theme as a template for mine and there were a few files in there that could come out and some from the blur ROM that I'd copied over and weren't used on the G1. Oh, and I've also deleted all thumbs.db files in all my drawables folders - so it should be a little smaller now and putting less un-needed crap on your phones.

I've been using this myself for a couple of days now and not had any FCs at all so I think you're good to go

Theme-porn follows:

I do love the design of the power widget, I may have to steal that for my alienaqua theme, it has similar colors.

Really nice choice of colors, great job on this and reading the post made me laugh. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work.

This looks real stylish.
A lot of nice details and as prash said: the power widget is beautiful.

that lock screen is sick. one of the best i have seen !

Edit: just realised it was from the 2.0 theme lol. but nice the anyways

hey what lockscreen is that?

I just downloaded this theme, and the app drawer tab for me is still the same as cyanogen's stock one that he had and not like the android 2.0 type tab you have in the screenshots. any thoughts on how to get it to look like that?

It includes both the Advanced Launcher and the standard one - if when you press the home key, it doesn't give you the choice, use the application manager to remove the default setting (you can switch back if you don't like it).

I originally wasn't going to used the advanced launcher but it is much more stable these days and I haven't had any problems or slow down with it.

It's the only one of the two that I have skinned so far - I will update it in the next day or two so that they are both skinned :)

Thanks for the positive comments everyone This was only something I was doing for myself but like someone mentioned above, it's in the details and I wasn't happy with only doing a few bits and pieces so I went further and reached a point where I was happy to share it with others.

There's still a few things I want to do yet but I'm having the weekend off and will get back to it on Monday :)

If it i can leave it alone for that long... ;)

Cheers,
Smiffy.

great looking theme!

lockscreen looks good but dont function nicely

I am not too crazy about the red but otherwise this is a really good looking theme. It's very fast and stable.. no force closes or other crashes yet. Great work!
