Few issues and questions.

1) I used zipthemer. If I go that route do I also need to De-compile the APKS? Is that why my date color is still blue along with the toggle name color in the status bar?

2) My launcher didn't theme. Which launcher is launcher2? Trebuchet? My version of AOKP didn't have it so I pulled it from a AOSP/CM9 mixed ROM and added it. No change.

3) Contact colors- Names etc are still blue. Is this intended?

Amazing job and I'll use it for quite a while. Just wanted to be sure on a few things.

Thanks!

Many thanks Sonny! Your themes truly look awesome! :D
Flashed your Lucid theme using the zipthemer option, and it worked, except for some things: Some text is still ICS blue (clock, date and network provider in status bar and a few other stuff), dialer numbers are ICS blue and the volume slider aswell.

I'm probably the one that has done something wrong, but do you have any ideas? :p

edit: looks like the same happened to phoenix2217..

1. Yes, you need to decompile the apks in order do change some colors and implement the accurate battery % mod. That is beyond the scope of Zipthemer.

2. Launcher2 comes with AOKP, atleast it does with the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S versions. I will add Trebuchet support in the next update.

3. Changing the color in Contacts.apk is a real pain at the moment as you need to sync with the ROM source using Linux.
For now we can only change the images.

Yes, to change any system level text color, you must decompile 2 apks. Dialer and Volume slider should have themed though.

Instructions are in the zip file.





Someone please post a hdpi version of the Trebuchet.apk, Thanks.

Sorry for the noob question. Where can I download the themes?
By clicking the "DOWNLOADS" button?.. :p

BTW, I have been trying to edit my systemUI and framework-res, and have managed to edit and recompile systemUI, but when I'm trying to recompile framework-res, I get an error. Any ideas?

Inside downloads there are 2 files that I have already downloaded "APK Manager" and "Lucid". I feel like an idiot...... I thought I needed a theme to apply to these files I have just downloaded?

I gathered that however I was looking at all of the themes on the first post and trying to locate those files. I now understand that there is only Lucid and Tangerine available.
