I'm following along too. Seems like my ventures into making icons and wallpapers is a flop. I'm gonna start devotiing all of that time into learning how to make themes. :icon_eek:

Thanks. Seems like compiling the app was the step I was missing. Got my theme installed. Looks like I'll be following, too.

bp328i - I have a question. I noticed you changed the activity bar in your theme, which is very nice. I'm working on a theme of my own, and would like to change the color. Which xml do i have to look for?
