Make themes?

Ok, so I know there are a couple people out there that use launchers other than the stock one, for all of you, do you make your own themes or do you download them from the market? Anyone care to share how to make a theme? I currently have ADW Launcher with the minimalist black:D Where in the directory are the theme files and what program should I use to make them?
 
a bit of searching got me a really bichin' Mass Effect 2 N7/Cerberus theme. Some cool wall papers, a nice dock, some coloring, and some nifty icons. Mashed together made beauty. I posted my theme in the themes thread.
 
I use Launcher Pro. I don't download themes. I design my own home screens. It involves a combination of searching online for cool wallpapers, icons, docks, and also using adobe photoshop to make some desired tweaks to existing icons, walls, docks; or just creating from scratch all of them. I also download desired widgets from the app market. Below are some screen shots of my homescreens and lockscreens. I have a lot more.

What is the clock widget on this one please? :)

Thanks
 
Hi there. The clock widget on the lockscreen is called Typoclock

Thanks but i can't seem to find it in the app market. Is there another way to get it?
Also whats the homescreen clock widget and the actual lockscreen...i thought i found them but apparently not!
 
Hi there. If you can't find the Typo clock in the app market then you either have the Samsung Captivate or another Android device that doesn't allow for third party apps to be installed, as in AT&T's ridiculous policies. But fear not, there is a way to get it. I had a Samsung Captivate a couple of weeks ago and I had to root it just to be able to enjoy it to its fullest; and download apps like Typoclock.

Go to this website and see if you can get (you will need a QR Droid scanner or a similar app to scan the code): TypoClock is my new favorite Android clock widget | andrew | Androinica. If you still can't still it then you will have to root your phone. The clock widget on my homescreen is "Simi Clock"

As for my lockscreen you have to have Launcher Pro first. Second you have to download the paid app Widget Locker. Then download an app called APK Manager. The process involves opening up the widgetlocker apk file, inserting a custom slider to replace one inside, signing the apk file, and then reinstalling it on your phone. I have posted this link which will best explain how to do it: [MOD][GUIDE] WidgetLocker Mods | Custom Lockscreens | Updated 21 Dec! - xda-developers

If these all sound too overwhelming don't give up hope!

busted...i got a captivate.

I'll try those out. thanks
 
wow, humanelement that is amazing....that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I have photoshop but have never actually used it haha anyways, how do you make the themes, do you use a program?
 
yeah, definitely pro. My question is how do I make it into a theme file recognizable by launcher pro (I have the pro and adw launcher)? I read somewhere a very complicated process where you need to rename every icon file to the system name with "__" instead of "/". anyways, hope you can answer this :)
