I decided to make my own thread on the Blue Marble Theme that I made for JerryScript's great BACKside ROM.
If there seems to be enough interest I'll keep uploading new versions of the Blue Marble theme when the BACKside ROM is updated. Many of you may make your own themes thanks to brotherswing's great tutorial of the UoT Kithcen, which is how I figured out how to make the theme tailored exactly to my tastes.
Here are a few screen shots:
Hint:
Under settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/Status bar tweaks/Status bar appearance - Choose ROM (If left on theme, I have the status bar set to black in the theme, but does not stay black with certain apps. ROM setting keeps status bar black at all times)
Hint:
Under settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/Status bar tweaks - Click show clock (If you want the clock) Then go to Clock Color - type- 5e79ff for the blue clock in the pictures.
Hint:
Under settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/Notification power widget - Check Hide indicator (Turns off green bar under icons)

Any chance of a version for Jerry's latest 02192012 BACKside? I tried your 02122012 version, but it wouldn't even boot. Blue Marble is my favorite theme so far, you did a very nice job.
Thanks
Just remember, ring is the only lockscreen we can't theme (for now)
I only added sliders and the pattern lock.
Since I use widget locker it's something that I'll never use myself. Once I flash the new ROM I'll take a quick look to see if it even looks correct.
Due to differences in ICS, only about half of the theme elements actually show up. I'm working on making a list of what works and what doesn't, will post my findings.

When Quattrimus is more functional I will probably flash the phone to check it out. I would definitely be making the Blue Marble theme for it then.

Would appreciate that.
Any different settings needed in the kitchen for the Quattrimus ROM?
Could that be why not all the elements show up?

It the structure of the framework-res.apk. It draws the screen elements different than 2.3, a lot of the ICS blue is inescapable. There are some dangers though, trying an incompatible mod will bootloop the phone. I'm going through by trial and error making the ugliest theme possible. This will let me spot areas that work and those that don't. Also by recooking each time to add the mods one at a time, I'm finding which ones bootloop the phone. It's taking some time though, I've been sick and still taking care of a two month old.

Cool theme. I like it.
Having an issue with the 3g icon and the Phone bar icon changing back to Green Machine or default BACKside icons a minute or two after bootup. Using 02292012. First time using the theme. Keep up the good work!
I have noticed this as well.
Not sure what happened there. I cooked the theme again in the kitchen and need to flash my phone to see if it works correctly.
I glad I decided to recook the theme in the kitchen instead of using the second I did last night. 99% sure it had the same mistake as the first one. Used the wrong icon pack.
Correct icon version for BS 02292012 on the first post.

Could you start posting your themes on our forums?
Did you make any changes to framework-res.apk or systemui.apk? If not, standard BACKside themes should work fine. If you did make any changes, the themes would need to be redone to accommodate.
Like brotherswing said, it depends if the framework-res.apk or systemui.apk have been modified.
Since I have a V, I do not think I'd make a theme for I phone I do not use.
I did not make an update for the latest BS ROM. Mainly cause it sounds like it's got some issues.
Waiting for the next build unless anyone really wants it.

Not at all only thing changed were lib files, bin files, etc files, xbin files, basically everything to get it working with our phone, framework folder is not modified, neither is systemui.apk
Only 1 app is deleted...BACKside updater, I don't want people using it to update to a non ported version of the ROM....they would have issues because obviously it's not ported...
and nvm on posting it to our forum, I already made one myself with links to other themes, based off of the Root for OV guide Themes section.

OK, next one's out...
Looking forward to getting Blue Marble on it. It runs very nicely.

Stayed at Merchant's Millpond, NC. Absolutely beautiful place.
Also went to the Great Dismal Swamp in VA.
This is at the Great Dismal Swamp. The kayaks are light and can be easily portaged from the feeder ditch to Lake Drummond, but we wanted to play and started to use the electric tram. Snapped this pic and then carried them over to the lake, especially since a boat pulled up that really needed to use the lift.
My kayak is the bright orange one.
And a panoramic

Go to settings/CyanogenMod settings/interface. Scroll down to the "Select Bootanimation" section.
