Hey Everyone!

I was playing with the new version of Sapphire (0.6.2) and with the themes available now...I thought I'd share some of the wallpapers I created to go with the ROM. I like to theme it up with ROM specific wallpapers and I even create custom HTC IME keyboards to match (site for that can be found here: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/index.php). This theming also helps me identify what ROM I'm running cause I flash so many :)

I just noticed a lack of themes and options for the Sapphire ROM so trying to spread some love their way.

Added 6/29 - New "Bluish" color that should match the Blue Glass Theme.

Sapphire Wallpapers - 4 Designs, 9 Colors

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
(this download link contains all of the wallpapers shown below)

Hopefully someone will get some use out of this ;)


Also, Here are screenshots of the "Blue Glass" theme over Sapphire 0.6.2
(This has been modified so that EVERYTHING is themed...not just the standard stuff)

I used the "Black Glass" 2.2 MetaMorph Theme to fill in the gaps. Just theme all the apps like Facebook & Twitter by moving to the system/app directory. Most of the other apps don't need to be moved. You can find it here:
[Theme] 928Droid "Black Glass" 2.2 for Froyo - Update.zip - MetaMorph - Back to Stock - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

I used this to theme Pandora - Just install Pandora from the market and then download the "Pandora.zip" file from here and install via Clockwork Recovery (rename to update.zip in SPRecovery...it should work but I did not verify).

Here are some screenshots:

Glad you like it...but I can't take credit as I only applied various parts of themes that were already out there. I'm just in it for the love of the game :D

I just noticed that the Blue Glass Theme is kinda...half of a theme. I can't stand when the twitter, facebook, pandora, and whatever else don't match the normal "gapps" widgets. I just posted it cause it was a pain to finally get it to look like a solid theme throughout and I figured I'd save people from having to search for it all.

Would be nice if more of the commonly used apps were located in the system/app directory and were included with the available themes with future releases. With the ability to move all big games and apps to the SD card now, there is less of a demand on system storage space (at least I would think so).

Loving the ROM though! ;)
