Android Theme For The Week

So, if you read the previous post here I want on quite a tangent with my phone and now my trusty HTC Desire is running CyanogenMOD 7 with various things done to ease off the situation with the atrocious internal memory.

To continue on the story I was using Launcher Pro for a while, even forking out to use the widgets but getting increasingly dismayed at what would seem the lack of current active development. So thought I would take the jump and give Go Launcher Ex a try… well I was pleasantly surprised, just as good to use as Launcher Pro, if not better, strong active development with good strong theme support, all completely free with free separate downloadable widgets to go with it. Widget themes are not so strong at present however. So armed with this and Beautiful Widgets I give you my theme styling for this week…

And all the bits you need (see also screen shots at the end)… Obviously you need Go Launcher Ex and Beautiful  Widgets (paid version) installed first! Find the separate TronPro Go Launcher theme download on the market and apply it through the theme section of  Go Launcher. In Beautiful Widgets you are looking for the Tron super clock skin and Vos-Neon weather skin, apply and place accordingly. The last thing is to set all the text to a cyan like colour as shown. Additional stuff you may prefer to fiddle with, the included wallpapers with the theme are good but can clash with the cyan text, the wallpaper in the screenshot is one of the default ones but you may prefer sourcing your own. I also changed the default icon for the marketplace to one of the themes other icons, it just didn’t speak marketplace to me and last of all I changed the app draw icon to the app draw icon in the Honeycomb Go Launcher theme, personally think it fits the theme better. Enjoy!
