Good to see your work back Rixsta. I've been giving codeworkx CM9 a try for a couple of days now, I like it apart from a storage issue. Anyway, found this theme and flashed it, like the look and its a good start.

As always I will give some feedback lol. Not keen on the background in contacts and in menus areas, could do with being more subtle to make it easier to view contacts. Finally, maybe remove the cyan. The red is stunning on its own.

Anyway guys, keep up the great work.

PS.. what cm9 you using?

Your pretty smart aint ya!!! I didnt ask for a smartarse answer and especially not from you. Also if you widen your thoughts beyond 'smartarse' thinking then maybe you could see that actually a red theme would work well and maybe the guys would develop that, dependant on feedback and demand, then name it something else. As you know, it couldnt be called Cyanored, that would be pointless. Pretty much like your comment!!

Nice Theme but think about magenta. ;-)

Do you guys have plans for other themes? Cause I'm searching for some "theme makers", they are able to change the basic color of ICS (light blue) to another basic colour (light green for example). No other changes (original icons, original backgrounds, aso). What do you think? Are you bored enough to do this? :)

I'm making a red theme. Hopefully, I can release something soon.

Some feedback:

Works great on latest build (20120217).
Detailing is really well done - blending of red/blue very nice.
For my personal taste the shade of red is a little too bright.
Battery number in status bar is not readable (maybe i need new glasses).
I couldn't see a way to change the background image for settings etc. I quite like this wall, but i'm sure people are going to want to change it.

Thanks for the good work, guys :)

    You know, just because something is free, doesn't mean it's instantly good.
    "It's free, so no complaining" is a pretty bad excuse.

    As I said before, some parts of this theme are promising, like the keyboard, but most of other things look pretty bad, and I even know the reason for that, red and blue clash terribly on a dark background.

    And I wouldn't call it "radically" different.
    The creator recolored the UI elements from blue to red, that is not very radical to me.
    I never created a theme because I'm fine with how standard Android UI is.

    But just because I don't create themes (though I may give you some suggestions), or just because this is free, doesn't mean that I shouldn't be allowed to criticize this theme.

    Besides, are you really that insecure about your creations, that you stand behind the "it's free!" excuse, and can't just address the complaints?

    Anyway, my suggestions are:

    Get rid of the blue color. It clashes with red (ESPECIALLY in the status bar). I know Cyanored stands for Cyan and Red, but it would be better if you could make it CyanogenMod Red.

    Use standard Android fonts and anti-aliasing for your logos and wallpapers.
    This simple mockup (the font is Roboto, the color is #cb2719) looks better than your current logo:
    zV2n5.png

    Agree with this so much. A little constructive criticism is good.
    I've noticed this a fair bit on XDA, if someone says they don't like it and even when they justify their own view they get jumped on. I know it's a good sign of a supportive community but hey ho.

    This is pretty ugly :(
    Some things look promising, like the keyboard, but red seems to clash with blue pretty badly.
    Also, status bar icons just hurt to look at...

    Dude, your work is really appreciated. Let the moaners (constructive criticizers) moan, and everyone else will enjoy your themes.
