12/27 - Fixed a couple small text color issues, otherwise the same. Link updated below.
12/22 - Update to 3.4.4
Flash in recovery. Updater-script installs in the /system/app directory so don't forget to uninstall updates in settings if you have been OTA updated to 3.4.4. As always, please let me know of any issues anyone runs into.
Update for 3.3.11:
For now it's just the blue trimmed version. I would like to get the others up as well, but I've had several requests to extend this onto mdpi screens as well, so that's next on the agenda.
Please ensure you've uninstalled updates or otherwise removed all com.android.vending.apk entries from data/app, as this zip will place Vending in your /system/app directory.
9/25 Update to 3.1.5
Ok, finally got my theme ported into 3.1.5. I'll admit that this hasn't been real thoroughly tested, but so far so good for me. The themes are almost exactly like before...it's not identical, but it would be very hard to tell the small changes that were made. Still hdpi only.
*These will flash to /system/app directory. It is very likely that you were silently updated to 3.1.5 and therefore have the apk in /data/app. If the Market is not themed after flash, go to settings>applications>manage applications>select "All" tab and scroll down to Market. Select uninstall updates.
Originally I hadn't intended on theming the new market, but I was asked by another member to help him with his and in the process of trying to help I started tinkering with it myself. The layout of this app doesn't lend itself well to a transparent theme, but it did turn out much better than I expected.
One of the aspects that I knew I wanted to keep if I ever did anything was the color coordination of the different product groups. I think that added a nice touch to the app. This actually made things somewhat difficult, and I had to venture into the land of smali edits (not my strong suit). However, I did reuse my newer buttons from the last market so many of them are blue, and the progressbar that I've integrated into the app is blue. The progressbars are ONLY IN THIS APP, it doesn't affect anything else on your phone.
**This looks best over darker wallpapers. The text colors are designed as such**
Here's some screenshot's:
Please do let me know of any omissions that you find as I have not checked all pages. Oh, and this isn't resigned so there shouldn't be any FC issues like in previous editions.
Do I need to do full blue theme to get blue highlight and blue around text box¿ I see in pic but mine still amber color

yeah, the change in the keyboard is pretty subtle. The only things that will change with LatinIME.apk are mainly going to be the suggested words that appear as you type, and the popup box when you hold down certain keys will have a blue ring around the letter. The space bar's highlight when suggestion popop and the caps lock light are blue, too. The other stuff you're talking about is actually going to be in framework-res.
I've been tinkering around with blue theming for a while now, and the keyboard is just part of that WIP. But since it's a 2.3 keyboard I thought I'd throw it in as well. The market, though works well on it's own or in conjunction with a blue theme.

Did you try wiping caches too? There's been mixed results in most of these Market threads from what I've seen. Some don't see the change, others have no issues at all. That's the whole reason I included the plain apk. I know some folks have com.android.vending-2.apk. It's the same file, just named different.
I've not done much theming outside of framework-res so please forgive me for not having an exact answer for you. Hopefully someone with a little more experience than me-particularly with theming system apks-will step in and offer some advice.
The apk is good, though for sure. Way too many people rocking it out right now for it to not be. Just gotta find out what small difference makes it not apply to some.
