Military based themes.

I haven't found any that were very good in my searches so far.

Here's a preview I came up with after much searching.
This is obviously not complete, so some tabs would need to be changed to be more visible or appropriate, and some would need to be added.
If this look is acceptable to others, I can make up the rest of the needed icons.
At that point I can pass them off to you Wahlrus, if you wanna put the slider together. Or I can finish it too, just let me know.

So keep the feedback coming guys.

I guess what I meant was, I was trying to figure out what to use for each respective tab. I guess I wasn't think of making ones like these. For example, I was trying to figure out what from the Corps would correspond to call history? Like the old VHF backpack radios or something. I think the style you made would be good for a military theme.

I gotcha! No problem. I understand what you mean.
I am just proposing we can use whatever images we want and make them into icons, they don't necessarily have to already be icons.
That's all I was really suggesting.
So, basically, I'd be happy to make the icons from whatever images we want, but they should all be of a similar style or aesthetic.
I'm open to whatever is wanted by those who will use the theme.

So, I guess the best thing is for us to collectively come up with images for each respective tab then. I agree it's not entirely easy to find appropriate ones. But I'm sure we can eventually come up with one for each tab.

both images I suggested are from your .rar

What do you think about these for slider? The rope border is from the Marine Corps Emblem. If this style is good for all I'll continue.

I reread my comment about santod being on top of this and realized it came off kind off pissy like. Didn't mean it that way. I just don't have a whole lot of time to devote to modding lately and saw that santod was doing some good work on this already. If Santod takes care of the clock and slider, i'll get the rest of the home screen done. Just camo it up a bit. I'll start on that now. Maybe i can get it done before i go to bed.

I don't have wince cab manager anymore so some will need to cab this up or you guys can just extract and drop in your windows folder. This will replace most of the home screen stuffs with camo. I had to go with a darker camo so the fonts would still show up. I really wanted the lighter shades of brown but i had to go with the greens instead. So try this out and post a screen shot for everyone. Should look good. I add more stuff later to this. Off to bed for now.

Thanks for the effort.
It appears there may be some images missing, but I will install and see what we got.
But just from looking at it, you may be missing part of the calendar date bar in there.
Anyhow, I have cabbed those file, so nobody has to overwrite their files, without being able to easily restore the defaults.
Thanks again.

Hmm, thanks I'll take a look when I get home tonight.

Edit: I did leave out the "pressed" button images intentionally. I find it's better to let those stay with the default gray.

Nope, that got all of the panels on the home screen except for the curtains. Looks pretty good, even without the matching clock. I'm gonna look for a lighter camo to use as the wallpaper and am playing around with a few other ideas. I'll post a screen shot soon. I also have some ideas for the slider but not sure if I will get to that tonight. I am a perfectionist when it comes to the alignment of sliders so it always takes me a few hours to get it just right.
