NOTE: Your phone will take longer than usual to boot up, this is normal.

There will be updates to this theme down the road, digging deeper into the phone and themeing more apps.

As always, BACKUP your droid before attempting to install. If you manage to brick your droid using this theme I will not take the blame so install at your own risk.

CHANGE LOG

17JUNE10
-minor update to fix froyo music widget
21JUNE10
-Themed Launcher Pro to match (Install Seperate)
-Added New Battery Icons
-Updated to 1.2
22JUNE10
-Added option of percents in battery
-Enhanced lock screen
-Updated to work with SPRecovery
 
Would putting the battery % be possible with that battery icon? If so could you possibly do that? Pete's FRF57 V02 has battery % and I really like that feature.

Tried it, didn't like how it looked. I could make an option for it. Give me some time, got a lot on my plate right now.

Froyo should be good, just finished optimizing and zipaligning about to load it up then upload. Will be in the OP soon!

Wow... I HATE themes and I would be likely to use this! This is excellent! I'm assuming since you say it works with JRummy's remixes it'll work with CyanogenMod?

I wonder how the notification bar icons would look if they were "embossed" into the "steel" instead of printed. Have you considered this? Might fit with the whole theme you're trying to put together, but of course, if it makes things hard to read, which I suspect it might, then this would be better.

I also noticed you don't have any data activity indicators. I do like the way it looks this way though, it's nicer for sure. I'd just like some way to see data activity. I was thinking maybe you could represent an upstream connection by lighting up the 3 in 3G (or the 1 in 1X), and represent a downstream connection by lighting up the G in 3G or the X in 1X.

Those are just my two cents. My suggestions may very well be insane; I'm hardly a graphic designer. But feedback is how things improve, right? Regardless of what you do with my suggestions, I'm definitely giving this a shot when I get a chance.

Actually you described exactly how the data displays, the 3 or G or both light up the same color as the reception meter does depending if your sending, receving, or both.

I haven't spent much time on the rest of the notification bar, but was considering embossing all of them to see what it looks like.

It works for Jrummys froyo, I haven't tested it on CM yet, FRF57 is the build in Jrummys which is the same as what pete used in BB that's why its compatable, I don't think the 2.1 version would work...still needs ported.

Glad you like it! And yes I'm always open to suggestions :)

Did you DL the right one? On that link he has diff links for each recovery. Keep in mind, he hasn't ported it to BBeast v.4, yet. This my flav of the week, so I'm def hoping he does, soon.

I made sure to download the one for SPRecovery with battery percent. I'm running Pete's virgin deodexed version. I re-downloaded it again an no luck.

Thats for the earlier froyo versions, for now if you have clockwork you can use the above link, (not sure if it works with sprecovery yet) or you can try it in sprecovery, or wait for a version for sprecovery...sorry I use clockwork so sprecovery versions usually come a little later

EDIT: from what I gather this should work with SP but still havent tried
