i will keep the black highlight in menus and such cuz it's a lot of packages and manila files to change, but, as far as everything else goes i would really like to know how u guys want it to look like.
feel free to make suggestions with regards to everything like folder icons, clock, slider icons, background, whatever comes to mind.
i also got a hold of gtx white theme for manila... i probably wont use it since it's obviously not released yet and probably have some bugs... but i can use a black font color in manila instead of white(but i still gotta look into it more as far as how will the packages work with black fonts.. if even..)
anyways... if any of u guys see something u like... from any kind of theme u saw... let me know.
i'll combine all of them to a single theme, or at least get some ideas about what my rom users like.
thanks.

Absolutely love your ROMs! Thank you for your dedication!

Here's a couple of humbly offered ideas...

-Above all else, I am into readability. I've seen very creative backgrounds and themes, but if I have a hard time reading menus and buttons... it's no good.
-I like your black theme, but the shiny portion of the bars sometimes obscures the words or data.
-In your latest ROMs, depending on how you jump into text messaging, you get a different messaging format. I like the very fast and readable normal or non-enhanced messaging with the different colors for the thread on the white background. It's very readable and fast.
- I prefer colored icons for the top status bar on the home page. Since the bar is black, the colors would stand out and give you an instant idea of what's going on. With that in mind, I like the bluetooth icon to be the standard bluetooth symbol with the headphones, if appropriate.
- Just my opinion, but the dialer is a little bland with little to no color.

Just flashed the 21892 2012 20 Feb... Put S2U2 on... seems stable.

I concur... using 21892 2012.

I really like the looks of your ROMs. The change you made to the messaging highlight definitely helped readability for me. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the circles background, but it's a minor dislike for me. I actually really like the dark background that OMJ uses, but I don't know if that's something proprietary to his ROMs.

Oh, one more thing about the 23534 2012 ROM. I miss the 12 program quick links (only 6 in this ROM), but I know it was just a test ROM, so no biggie.

ok... fixed the cam issue... uploading 23534 first and then 28192.
changed to bg4a... so u guys get a black background after flash and can pick which ever background u like after.
added interceptor back to 6.5.x rom...
about the 6 links... there is no mode for new manila yet with more i than 6... i think...
all updates should be up within an hour...

thanks for the comments.
not so sure what i would actually wanna change according to your list though...
i really don't know what can be done with the dialer.(maybe give an example)
i probably should make the icons for buttons in manila a little brighter.
the icons on the taskbar... maybe also... a little brighter, but just cuz there is no way im putting the blue ones in.
and i would really like to know where else u think i should make the menus darker... cuz i only saw it as an issue with normal wm menus and such and i fixed that but not within manila.

i also added xtask and xhook should run on startup.
if u need to remove it from start up and the setting won't fix it for u,.... just erase it from startup folder.

[amikam]

ok... sorry guys.. taking a little longer.... its the first time im trying out that xtask thing.... not a good idea to have xhook in startup...
i recooking and uploading... so probably another 30 min.
