This is the first MetaMorph theme I have ever made. I liked it so I thought I would share. It gives you color notification icons. As always do a backup before you install.

* I take no credit for the icons. I simply put them into a MetaMorph that would work with my ROM of choice CM6. The system icons I got from xda-developers - View Single Post - Colored Notification Icons . The icons for gmail, messaging and email are the stock launcher icons resized to fit the notification bar. *

This doesn't work for me on CM6 nightly #167. Strange... when I go to apply these I get errors...

SubTheme Gmail.apk takes a loooong time (like 5 minutes) but then seems to apply fine.

SubTheme: com.google.android.gm-1.apk gives me this message: "The target /data/app/com.google.android.gm-1.apk does not exist, skipping..." And then the same with mms.apk, does not exist.

Then email.apk takes forever but no error, framework-res.apk takes forever with no error. Finally reboot the phone, and no change to the icons.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong...? Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?

I don't know unless something is different in the framework. Im off tomorrow so I should have time to download the nightly and take a look at it. Did any of your icons change?
