Thank you for this. Just installed it and it looks great. First theme I have bought. Love glass themes.

Hehe yeah, I'm a total sucker for glass themes. I honestly can't help myself lol

I spent a gawdawfully long time on this one being anal about every last detail and I'm glad I did.

My Revolutionary theme is also great, but I didn't realize until after I released it that on dark backgrounds (such as the included wallpaper) it looks good, but against light backgrounds, it looks freaking awesome. Lesson learned.

This one I kinda went all out on it, and I'm very proud of it. I'm glad you like it! =D

More to come. I would like to do maybe a more stylized dark glass theme. I haven't really worked out the details in my head yet, but I'm trying to think it through.

Thank you for the kind words!

How do you make these themes? Specifically, how do you package them, is there a go template?

I use the theme factory. You can do it manually, but I have had 0 success doing it that way.

You also need to very much know what you're doing just to get theme factory to run, then dealing with all of it's shortcomings... Lets just say it's a hell of a lot of work.

Hmmm i see. I was hoping they might have something where you could just swap out the png files. Ive made a lot of icons lately based on Signa set, and I'd like to share a theme. Oh well

Most of the launcher/home screen replacement apps like Go Launcher and Launcher Pro allow you to customize icons on the home screens. You may not be able to do so in the app drawer without a theme, but you can at least tweak your screens.

OP, this looks like a beautiful theme, I may have to check it out. Does the wallpaper come included?

I can answer that for the OP since I have this theme. Yes, it comes with the wall you see pictured.

Yeah, I have done that and knowing how much time its taken me to manually replace the icons, is the driver for me to want to share it via a theme. Plus as you say, it doesnt replace app drawer icons - suave HD will do for now tho.
