My first Theme try.
Ok here it goes, first of all let me be clear that the artwork is not completely mine. I am not an expert at doing themes but I desperately wanted to try this out.

Screenshots:




What I did:

1st I "decompiled" flatback black, since it runs REALLY good and I like the white icons.

I changed the default black background and replaced it with this wallpaper/art from Astoyanov . I also added a "glassy" bottom bar and changed the playlist and back buttons. I replaced the "no cover" icons with a headphone and folder icon I found on DeviantART, I can't give credit to the creator since I can't find him and I downloaded it a while ago. I also modified a little bit the volume and navigation buttons.

So far everything works great!

Like I said before this is not a full creation of mine, it is mainly an adaptation to test the theme engine and the developer version. I am working on a full theme of mine replacing every icon and every little detail but that is going to take a while longer.

If someone wants to add a custom background (which is what most people want) maybe I could help.

Anyways if someone wants to try it out do the following.

You must have access to root. (I use easyroot).

1. Shutdown Canola.

2. Download tarkamblack.edj (http://www.divika.com/tarkamblack.edj) and place it on /usr/share/canola/themes/ (must be root)

3. Restart canola and choose tarkamblack on themes. I did not update the thumbnail so the thumbnail is going to look as if it was flatback black. That is it your new colorful theme should be working.

If someone tries it let me know how it goes.
