Having been on various versions of Darky's ROM for a month now, I decided I was getting bored with the green-ness of it. I've been reading up a bit on theming and I thought I'd put together something of my own, based around the standard Darky's theme and R64s theme.

So, I took R64s orange theme as a base, added a few of the bits I liked from Darky's, kept all of R64s orange/yellow bits and edited a few PNGs myself to my own liking.

I have a list of a few more additions I want to do, to completely rid the theme of anything green, tick boxes and so. Want a simple gold, black and grey.

So far I have the notification bar as I want it

And also a few minor changes to the lockscreens and a new USB screen

And I found a nice Darky/Gingerbread style version of Launcher Pro that goes well with the look

Next up is a vertical gold battery (less orange) with a readable percent number(!), and a bit of theming to my dock icons and homescreen widgets :)

That's looking pretty damned sexy :D

how did you get those icons with launcher pro?

I made them myself using some screenshots of the Touchwiz app drawer and Photoshop :)

This phone is based on linux. Why do you use Windows logo for USB connection? One point I wouldn't use your theme. Otherwise it looks good, well done. Would you also do a neon orange theme (would interest me more..)?

I think the windows icon is meant to represent the PC you are connecting to. I think the vast majority of people who connect the SGS to the PC are windows users, so that would make sense.

Yep, as said, it's the computer, I use Windows so I figured I'd put the Windows logo on. I'm making it for myself really :) The 'connected' screen shows the two linked together with a cable.

Don't know if I could make it orange as I'm only really moving files about between the two themes I have and editing a few of the simple PNGs. R64s standard orange theme does look quite nice as it is if you want something like that.

yep, thats because they can't handle the freedom:)

Been very busy last month, so nt had much time for this. Just sat down this afternoon and made a few small changes.

Modded the Epic lockscreen as it's my new favourite

Installed the orange Market from XDA, and made a couple of minor tweeks to it

And finally, themed 3G Watchdog as I didn't like the square icon

what's the social networking widget you're using there? I WANT it :D

Looks like a rather modded version of Friends Widget that comes with the paid version of Launcher Pro. I use it and it's great - the only gripe I have is about once a week to 2 weeks I have to re-enter my credentials to Twitter/Facebook as it seems to stop loading but that's not a big deal to me. I couldn't do without it on my phone - it may as well be my homescreen as I go to it more than the homescreen.

Yep, as above. My favourite widget by far. Just wish the Facebook could like to Android Facebook, but it does a decent enough job as it is.

I use the Grey Blurps version from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783427
