The main theme has 1% battery steps and transparency support in the statusbar plus many tweaks incl. inverted menu and popups and a transparent Rosie. Theme contains framework, htcframework plus 15 themed apps, so Android widgets do now fit way better to the Sense Experience (I don`t like Eclair styled widgets mixed with transparent Sense). The Theme is designed to give a little bit of Honeycomb flavor with a clear and distinctive color coordination.

1. What you need before the flash
DEODEXED ROM, Root, S-Off, DHD Sense ROM, Clockwork Mod and ROM Manager
Install:
* IMPORTANT - backup your system with Rom Manager
* Uninstall Facebook Update
* LauncherPro Users - uninstall before you flash the theme (Plus User delete the launcher.apk from zip and theme LPro Plus via metamorph)
* Copy HoneyHD.zip to SD Card
* Open Rom Manager and install from SD Card
* Choose HoneyHD.zip, then your DHD boots in Recovery and installs the theme, copies the Icon Pack and Wallpaper to your SD Card
* Choose your favorite Wallpaper from sdcard/wallpaper (4 Options), if you like customize your shortcuts with the icon pack
Icons can be best applied with Desktop Visualizer (if you use Rosie) or directly with LauncherPro.
* Make sure you choose HTC default skin, otherwise theme will not show up as designed
* Note: If there is a part you don`t want to install, just open the update.zip with winrar or 7zip BEFORE you flash, delete the apk and close the zip.
Known issues:
Just in case you have Weather FC`s after applying the theme, just do the following:
Uncheck sound effects in weather app settings
In case the FC comes already after opening the weather app (which is rare) and you can`t access settings in weather app, just do the following:
Go to applications, select manage, select all
Look for weather provider and delete data
IMPORTANT: kill your network connection (airplane mode)
Open weather, this will now not be able to update as connection is off
Apply settings, disable sound
Restore network connection
Please read this, before you flash:
If it happens, that your right customize button in Rosie dock does not work after you flashed, then this is not a bad thing - no you are one of the lucky bastards with a Theme version, where I already ported the f... complicated remapping mod. This is what you need to do to enjoy that mod:
2. Open Launchkey and assign key either to an app or to a custom menu (then pressing the button opens a popup menu, where you can assign 9 shortcuts)
That`s it
Since multiupload has gone mad like a lot of file sharing sites since the big bang with Mega Upload, here´s a mirror for most of my Desire HD Themes (still uploading a while...).
I recoded the Theme, so you only need to swap the following images in order to have your own background. Just open the respective apk with winrar, draw your prefered png (rename it before) in drawable-hdpi folder and close the apk. Then flash it with the empty update.zip
Note:Transparent custom settings is NOT in default theme, you can flash it as add-on
Customization options:
App drawer background - applistbackground.png in rosie.apk Notifications background - status_bar_background.png in systemui.apk Quicksettings background - quicksettings_background.png in systemui.apk Settings background - hestheone.png in framework-res.apk

Honey HD Skin for Sense 3.0 GB 2.3.5 ROM`s
Finally a Skin, that themes also HTC widgets for GB 2.3.5 ROM, see screenshots. This Skin enables Honey widgets (and parts of the UI) and works best as add-on for Honey HD Theme, since it also adds more blue effects. You can use it on stock, but I don`t recommend it, since the m.10 fix (remember - stock m.10`s still can`t be themed) from 2.3.4 does not cover all press effects (which is no problem combined with the full Theme.
Please don`t ask, whether I can change the dock - the solution is limited, but at least my favorite widgets are back on ARHD.
Copy to SD and install like a market app, then choose Revolution Skin under personalize.
Honey HD Skin for all Sense 3.0 ROM`s (up to GB 2.3.4)
Skins your DHD within the limitation of Skins
Can be used as standalone or as add-on for soon to be released full Honey HD Theme

Install:
Just copy on your SD and install like a market app in your file explorer

Note: RCMix will follow soon (next weekend)
Correct settings for status toggles, if you want to use the app (you find it in app drawer as "toggles", you need to open the app, hit "statusbar" and choose a name for your widget first.):
You can certainly do way more with the Elixir2 app, it also delivers tons of information about your device or you use the 7 spots for favorite apps.
After a lot of requests (my poor inbox...) the comeback of Honey HD Inverted Theme - all Popups, Menu and some apps like Facebook, MMS or gmail inverted.
Honey HD INVERTED for 2.50 based ROM like ARHD 5.2x
Honey HD Inverted Theme Update for 2.50 base
Changelog:
Text Color Patch for Dropdown and Selection included
Improved Task Manager Text color
Improved text color in HTC Album details view
Improved text color in HTC dialer list
Inverted HTC Music app
Inverted Launcher Pro - first time with similar popup experience like Rosie
Honey HD Classic Version for 2.36 GB Final ROM`s - 16.05.
Why a Classic Version?
Some guys use a 3rd party Launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro and have to many grey on black instances (way less with Rosie), but really want this theme. This version is not inverted and offers better readability on popups for use with 3rd party Launchers.
What is the difference?
The Theme is pretty much the same, but Popups and Menu`s are now a mix of black and grey. The inverted HTC apps MMS and Music are also back to bright. All other details are exactly the same. In order to have a smooth experience I also rebuilt the menu to match these exactly to the "classic" Honeycomb popups.
Note: Classic Themes (Elegant Blues, Honey HD Classic, Revolution Classic) are fully compatible to Sense 3.0 Weather and Kingdom Lockscreen, Inverted Themes might create issues due to a compile bug with com.htc.resources with apktool. These work better with 2.1 weather and Sense 3.0 Lockscreen
* NANDROID; NANDROID; NANDROID...
* Flash update.zip via ROM Manager or recovery
* Install launchkey from appelflap`s thread or support him with the donate Version from the Market, adds even more system shortcuts
* Open Launchkey and choose an app, system function or Custom Menu. That will activate the dock icon on the right with your desired shortcut or popup.
* Works out of the box only on DEODEXED ROM
On stock ROM you would need to delete rosie.odex in sytem/app and reboot again

Guide to port my classic (not inverted) themes to a new ROM base
I do that public, since this might also help other modders to transform to Themers (or at least "porters"), Android is all about sharing ;-)
I will only post the most basic stuff in order to port the CLASSIC Themes - Inverted is way more work (especially Facebook kills you...) and would ask for trouble and no jars.
So this will at least help the more experienced guys to understand, what they need to edit for a decent "standard" Theme. That short guide assumes you understand compiling and have at least basic xml knowledge. When you start, I`m sure questions will arise - so ask them here, since that might help other´s too.
So here is how you do it:
Download my 2.36 Theme and decompile only the following apk and do the same with apk`s from stock 2.36 ROM. Then diff the xml`s I posted here in Notepad++ (or whatever you prefer) and you`ll see all my edits. Then decompile all necessary apk`s from 2.50 base and edit all xml accordingly. When you are ready and all are compiled, use THEME PORTER to push the pngs from my old Theme to the new corresponding 2.50 based apk´s.
IMPORTANT: HTC does change a lot for nearly every base, so in 99% of the cases you will then need to trouble shoot since some layout files or styles do lead to other pngs then before, so you need to check carefully and then find out what you need to adjust.
I´m just theming for myself and share the results. There are many people who need donations way more, so if you want to donate, then you can do this for a decent charity foundation. Makes much more sense - thx anyway
