well... original is just like the pic u would see on omj thread or anyone else who uses the original manila themes...
the only thing i kept in that rom is the taskbar icons and startmenu icons... everything else is just like stock manila.

well.... his themes are generally for wvga... so i will have to see if they will even fully work on vga before i can say that ill add the multi theme mod thingy u linked me to.
they make it look easy to have colors of choice... but in reality they are not really skinning too much files, its just playing with saturation that can be done using the simple windows photoviewer, and its only for manila and nothing else.
personally i like it all to match, at least as close as possible to 100%.
i can say that ill make sure u guys get the most updated one that comes out... but even if it does fit on vga i dont think its smart to include that many themes on the diamond since it doesnt have free space on it like tp2, so i guess ill make a rom with the theme that comes out soon.
also, i would make matching red highlight and more to go with the theme so... its tones of work to make it in many different colors(only my black highlights took me about a full day of work on Photoshop, about 24 hours).
i wish there was a magic button like he created that would change everything... and i'd bet the mortscript he's using can be modified to do that but someone will have to create all the images to for it and the main reason no one is actually creating themes for packages is cuz not everyone uses the same one... that why if notice carefully u will see that every manila theme doesn't have matching highlight in all menus and such, even Dusk theme is not fully matching all highlight in all existing menus, that will have to be a rom specific thing.
and i dont really think ill have the time to do something like that for my rom... think about it... its like two weeks of work to make all those matching colors for a complete device.
making manila in colors is the easy part even though its about 400 files to skin the are arranged in a nice way.
to get all packages matching will have to resize, cut and paste many more files not to mention that some of the images u will wanna change are inside dll's or some colors are in the mode9 and lua script files of manila.
sorry for writing a long post... but i had to explain that making a perfect matching rom takes a sh*t load of work and attention to details.

almost forgot... eta i think is like in 2-3 days but i have finals.... so you guys will get it after monday... but that just means that if there were any bugs... they will be fixed(although i doubt he will have bugs since my opinion on him is that he really invests in his things, thats why the long time).
